All language subtitles for Star Trek Enterprise S01E06 Terra Nova

This was their first view of it.

If you don't look too close,
you'd think it was Earth.

Breaking ground on the town hall.

Is that Captain Mitchell?

No, I think that's Mitchell.

Are we there yet?

Three hours, 17 minutes to go, sir.

Travis has been digging
through the archives.

There's tons of data here:

Crew manifests,

survey photos,

weekly status reports.

I was hoping to find something,

a clue to what happened.

You'd be the first.

I've been fascinated by Terra Nova
since I was a kid, sir.

I always thought lost colonies affected
boomers more than anyone else.

Something about people
who choose to live off-world.

Captain,

do you think anyone's still there?

I'll let you know...

...in about three hours
and 17 minutes.

- Terra Nova?
- I'm surprised you've never heard of it.

I'm not familiar with the early years
of human space exploration.

Really?

Every schoolkid on Earth had to learn
about the famous Vulcan expeditions.

Name one.

History was never my best subject.

It was called the Great Experiment.

Could humans colonise deep space?

They'd already built New Berlin
on the Moon,

Utopia Planetia on Mars,

even a few asteroid colonies,

but all within our solar system.

When they found an Earth-like planet
less than 20 light years away,

it was hard to resist.

It took them, what,
nine years to get there?

Nine years there, nine years back,
but they made it.

My grandfather remembered
seeing their first transmissions

- when he was a kid.
- What happened to them?

People have been trying to answer
that question for a long time.

No one's heard from Terra Nova
in over 70 years.

After the colony was built,
relations with Earth became strained.

The Space Agency figured
nothing succeeds like success,

so they decided to send
another vessel.

The colonists protested.

They'd been there five years.
This was their home.

They didn't want
another 200 people arriving.

The folks back on Earth argued
that there weren't any other

habitable planets within reach.

But the colonists dug their heels in.

There were a few angry messages
sent back and forth, then one day...

...nobody heard from them again.

Why didn't you send a vessel
to find out what happened?

Nine years there, nine years back.

It would have been a pretty long trip.

A Vulcan ship could have made
the journey in far less time.

Why didn't you ask them?

Asking favours of the Vulcans usually
ends up carrying too high a price.

My experience with humans
is limited...

...but I've come to learn
that they're quite resourceful.

Terra Nova may still be there, captain.

Two hundred thousand kilometres.

Let's see it.

I promised my dad
I'd see this place someday.

Put us in orbit over the colony.

Terra Nova Colony,

this is Captain Jonathan Archer
of the starship Enterprise.

We've come from Earth.
Please respond.

No answer, sir.

Any bio-signs?

No. But the colony
appears to be intact.

I'm also detecting low levels
of surface radiation.

From what?

I can't tell.

Let's take a look.

Closer.

Looks like a ghost town.

Let's hope the ghosts
can give us some answers.

- How bad is the radiation?
- Less than 800 millirads.

A few hours of exposure
shouldn't pose a risk.

Trip, take the bridge.

Travis.

A housing unit.

No sign of weapons fire.

Only rust.

Whatever happened, I've gotta believe
they tried to let Earth know about it.

We've got the schematics
for the communications tower.

Good. See if
the data buffer's intact.

We might be able to access
their last transmission logs.

Aye, sir.

Walk the perimeter.
See what else you can find.

Judging by the isotope decay,

the radiation levels 70 years ago
would have been lethal.

If that killed them,
where are the bodies?

Maybe they left the planet
before it could affect them.

That would have been difficult.

That's a bulkhead.

They designed their ship
to be disassembled.

That's how they built the colony.

It was a one-way trip.

Hello?

We're not alone, sir.
There's someone in the forest.

We're on our way.

- I believe he went in there.
- You get a look at him?

Yeah, he appeared to be a couple of
metres tall, biped, odd-looking scales.

This leads to a network
of caverns

that extend
for several hundred metres.

- Archer to Mayweather.
- Go ahead, sir.

Get back to the shuttle,
and grab a pair of flashlights.

- Make it quick.
- Yes, sir.

It'd be best if I went first, sir.

After you.

Captain.

My name is Archer.

We're looking for some people.

I was hoping you could help us.

We're not going to hurt you.

We're just trying to find out
what happened to them.

Which way?

T'Pol to Captain Archer.

Captain?

We're under attack.

And I think
we just took a wrong turn.

We could use a little help
navigating down here.

Just a moment.

In approximately three metres, a tunnel
will branch off to your left. Take it.

I don't see a tunnel.

Correction. Ten metres.

I'm all right, sir.

Malcolm?

Malcolm?

Where's Malcolm?

Go.

Take us up.

If those aliens killed the colonists,
they could kill Malcolm too.

Those weren't aliens.

They're human.

I don't get it. If they're human,
why were they shooting at us?

Archer to the bridge.
What have you found?

We've got a pretty good picture
of those caverns.

And we've picked up
52 bio-signs so far.

- All human.
- The only one I'm interested in

right now is Lt Reed.
We've got to get him out of there.

- Have you found him?
- Yes, sir.

He's about 90 metres
below the surface.

He's not responding to hails,
captain, but he's alive.

Have Dr Phlox join us
in the Situation Room.

Aye, sir.

If these are the descendants
of the original colonists,

they've never seen
other humans before.

Maybe we looked as strange to them
as they did to us.

12.6 kilometres worth of tunnels.

Looks like they even dug a few wells.

The geology's a little shaky.

Some of these passageways
have collapsed.

They may have been driven
underground by the radiation.

- Have you figured out what caused it?
- Not yet.

- What do they do for food?
- Many species feed

on underground fauna and flora.
Tubers, fungi, insects.

They also hunt
some kind of burrowing animal.

Where's Malcolm?

Right here, sir.
There are two people with him.

- Can we use the transporter?
- He's too deep.

A section of this tunnel is collapsed.

It's empty. If we could get into it,
we could clear the obstruction

with phase pistols. We'd be less than
20 metres from Lieutenant Reed.

What about these two?
We have to assume they're armed.

A stun grenade would solve that.

I don't want to risk
any more casualties.

Despite how they look,
they're still human.

We've got to find some way
to talk to them.

They didn't seem eager to talk.

If I can't make first contact
with other hu...

I don't have any business
being out here.

Malcolm was shot.

Grab your medical kit
and meet me at the launch bay.

- Right away, sir.
- Captain.

Try to find out
what irradiated the surface.

You and Hoshi get to work
on that data buffer.

I want to know if they tried
to send any messages to Earth.

Do you think they know
we've returned?

Hard not to hear a shuttlepod
landing on your roof.

I'm unarmed.

I just want to talk.

I'm concerned about my officer.

I'd like to see him.

- Fancy meeting you here.
- How's the leg?

I've lost a bit of blood, sir,
but I don't think it's too serious.

May I have
my medical supplies, please?

- Human?
- That's right.

- What's that?
- My name is Phlox.

I am a Denobulan.
I'm Captain Archer's physician.

You tracked from Earth...

...on a sky ship.

It's called Enterprise.

To what? Gut the rest of us?

No.

We're here to find out
what happened to the colony.

We came to help you.

Novans have had
enough help from you.

We're not so easy to hunt as diggers.

Go back to the overside
or we'll seal your passage.

I told you,
we're not here to hurt anybody.

Take that one, and don't track back.

All right.

But he won't be able to get through
these tunnels on one leg.

My doctor needs to treat him.

What makes you think
we're here to hurt you?

Humans hurt Novans.

Why do you think that?

They gutted us.

Our families. Our before-families.

I don't understand.

Poison rain.

I was no taller than a digger,
but I can still see back.

We lived on the overside,
then the humans dropped the poison,

burned our skin,
gutted the grown ones.

There was no place to go but here...

To the underside.

I think I know
what you're talking about.

The poison rain.
It was some kind of radiation.

I don't know what caused it,
but I'm sure it wasn't humans.

He can walk, more or less.

But I'll need to get him back to Sickbay
to remove the projectile.

I know this'll be hard
for you to accept...

...but you're the descendants
of human beings.

Your ancestors colonised this planet
over 70 years ago.

They came from Earth,
just like I did.

I don't know what happened,
but maybe

we could work together and find out.

He speaks in shale.

If that's your way
of calling me a liar...

...give me a chance to prove
what I'm saying.

My...

...sky ship...

...has tools that can help us
find out what happened here.

- No.
- Are you aware that your mother...

...is sick?

This is one of the tools
the captain spoke of.

It can tell me all kinds of things
about the inside of your body.

She has an illness
that we call lung cancer,

but it's easily cured.

Dr Phlox can make her well.

But she'd have to come back
to our ship.

This is shale.

They want to trap us
on the overside to gut us.

How long of a day would it take?

- Not long. A few hours at the most.
- Hours?

She'd be back before the sun rises
on the overside.

Let us help you.

We track together.

- This one stays.
- He needs to be treated as well.

He'll be fine for a few hours.

Don't worry about me, sir.

I was just getting used to the place.

Probably best if you lead the way.

That's Enterprise.

It's a lot like the ship that brought
the colonists to this planet.

It was called the Conestoga.

Maybe you were born onboard.

Or were you born
after your parents got here?

My parents were Novans.

They came from the overside.

- No more. Let me out.
- Open the passage.

Just a few more seconds.

- Open it.
- It's all right.

My apologies for any discomfort.

Is she healed?

Not quite. First we have to determine
how far her sickness has spread.

That is you. The inside of you, anyway.

This picture will tell me
what kind of treatment she'll require.

Interstitial tumours.

The malignancy has spread
to her lymphatic system.

She'll need a series
of cytolytic injections.

- Injections?
- Medicine.

He's just going to give her
some medicine.

I'll need a few minutes to synthesise it.

I've got some other pictures
you might like to see.

One of my crewmen found these
in our database.

They might help you remember
what it was like living on the overside

before the poison rain.

It's human shale.

They're confusing our path.
You'll lose your tracks in this.

I'm just trying to help you see
how you got here.

All I see is digger filth.

Well, look again.

Because whether you want
to believe it or not, we're both human.

Bury your drawings.

Doctor...

...keep me posted.

Captain's starlog, supplemental.

Sub-commander T'Pol
has discovered the remnants

of an impact crater
that could explain the radiation.

How far away is it?

About 500 kilometres north.

- How deep?
- It's been partially filled in by erosion

over the years,
but I'm reading impact fractures

down to nearly 2,000 metres.

- Comet or an asteroid?
- An asteroid.

A large one.

The tectonic analysis puts the impact
at approximately 70 years ago.

The poison rain.

The geology was comprised
primarily of beresium ore.

The thermo-shock would have created
a radioactive cloud

that probably covered the northern
hemisphere for more than a year.

They spent all those years
getting here...

...and for what?

That's an old MK-33, isn't it?

Or is it a 34?

Impressive body armour
you're wearing.

Did you make it yourself?

Right.

I don't suppose there's a lavatory
on the premises, is there?

I wouldn't mind freshening up a little.

No.

Didn't think so.

Is your belly hollow?

That all depends.

What's for dinner?

Digger meat.

Looks a little...

...undercooked.

Humans are like damp moss.

They rot on the underside.

Not bad.

Come in.

It's a transmission, sir.

It's the last one anyone made,
as far as we can tell.

It was still in the buffer.

It's Captain Mitchell.

No matter how angry Logan's threats
may have seemed,

there had to have been
a way of dealing with this

other than attacking us.

Nearly half the adults are dead,
including Dr Tracey,

and everyone else is getting sick,
except for the younger children.

If they have any chance of surviving,

the least you could do is have
the Vulcans send a ship for them.

But for all I know, they were the ones
you talked into attacking us.

You wanted Terra Nova enough
to do this?

Well, it's yours now,
but I doubt you'll be very pleased

with what you find when you get here.

Mark Logan was the head
of the opposition,

the ones who were against
a second wave of settlers.

Supposedly, he threatened to fire
at any ship that came into orbit.

The irony is that Captain Mitchell's
message never reached Earth.

The debris in the atmosphere
was too dense.

So for some reason,
the young kids survive...

...and begin living underground.

Their last memories of their parents
are hearing them blame humans

for destroying the colony.

The idea that humans are the enemy
has been embedded in them

for more than two generations.

This isn't gonna be easy.

Sickbay to Archer.

- Go ahead.
- Could you come see me, please?

Is everything all right?

Nadet's cancer has been eliminated.

- Nice work.
- But I found something quite troubling.

Both she and her son are showing
signs of microcellular decay

in their endocrine systems.

Their underground water supply
has probably become contaminated.

I don't have any medication
to treat this,

and it's only going to get worse.

Would bringing them
to the surface help?

T'Pol says the soil and foliage
is going to remain irradiated

for at least another decade.

- How's she doing?
- She's as disagreeable as she was

before I treated her.

Bring them to the Situation Room.

We are not leaving.

It's not safe for you anymore.

When the asteroid hit,
the fallout contained certain poisons.

Humans under the age of 4 or 5
can usually build an immunity to them.

That's why they survived.

For the last two or three generations,
that immunity kept you all alive.

But now the poisons have gotten
into your water supply.

As Captain Archer says,
it is no longer safe.

You humans tried
to gut our go-befores

when they lived on the overside.

Now you're trying to gut us.

Dr Phlox just saved your life.

Perhaps you should give him
the benefit of the doubt.

After all, he's not human.

Neither am I.

Giant rocks falling from the sky...
Shale, it's all shale!

Take us back.

I went through about two to 300
photographs before I found this.

Look familiar, Nadet?

It's the overside.
Before the poison rain.

And what about the people?

Humans.

What were humans doing
in your colony

before it was destroyed?

I think I can help answer that.

You're sure none of these people
look familiar?

From the data we retrieved
on this photograph,

we're pretty sure this woman's name
was Vera Fuller.

Ring a bell?

It's the medicine they put in you.

They're confusing your path.

We need to leave.

Look closely.

Vera Fuller.

- What do you remember?
- Shale!

They're trying to trap you.

Vera had a daughter
named Bernadette.

She'd be about 75 now
in Earth years.

Nadet?

Bernadette?

You say this is me?

They're trying to make us
leave the underside.

If we're not back before day,
your crewman will be gutted.

Take us back.

Is her treatment finished?

- I should take one more thoracic scan.
- Fine.

As soon as you're done,
bring them to the Launch Bay.

Sub-commander.

There are 58 human beings
in those tunnels.

They'll all die if we don't get them out.
What do they think?

They think we're a bunch of hostile
aliens trying to take their colony over.

- Stun grenades.
- What?

Commander Tucker's continued
to enhance the sensor resolution

of their tunnels.

We could transport stun grenades
to specific locations, detonate them,

and use both shuttlepods
to bring them back to the ship.

And then what? Put them in chains?

I'm sure Mr Reed
could devise appropriate restraints.

What the hell do you think this is,
a slave ship?

We can't relocate them by force.

The alternative was made
quite clear by Dr Phlox.

We have to convince them that
returning to Earth is the right thing.

We can't take them by force.

- Are you certain it is the right thing?
- What are you talking about?

When you get them back to Earth,
what will you do?

Send them to school?
Teach them to read and write?

Wear human clothing?
Eat human food?

Teach them to live on the surface,
enjoy the sunshine?

You're damn straight.
They're human beings.

It's their birthright.

It might take a little while,
but they'll adapt.

It's a hell of a lot better
than dying down in those tunnels.

They've lived in those tunnels
for three generations.

You can't just pluck them up
and bring them to a strange world

and hope they'll learn to conform.

You'd be destroying their identity,
destroying the Novan culture.

- Archer to Tucker.
- Captain.

Get up here on the double,
and bring your maps with you.

The debris cloud
reached to about here,

10 or 12 degrees north
of the equator.

- Southern hemisphere?
- Unaffected by the asteroid.

Captain Archer.

- Go ahead, doc.
- The two Novans

are in Shuttlepod One.

Will you be escorting them
back to the surface?

I'll be there in a couple of minutes.

There's gotta be similar
underground topography

on one of these southern continents.

Caves, caverns... Find them.

Put that on a PADD for me.

And it wouldn't hurt if they
were crawling with those...

What do they call them? Diggers.

Your planet has three large islands
to the south.

We call them continents.

The climate is nearly identical
to your overside.

We don't know
how similar the underside is,

but my people
are working on that now.

The important thing is
the poison rain never fell there.

You'd be safe.

Your children would be safe.

You could even spend time
on the overside if you wanted to.

If our tunnels are infected...

...you wouldn't want them so badly.

We don't. We only want to help you.
Make you healthy.

Was that photograph of Vera Fuller
and her daughter shale?

Do you really believe
that we created it to trick you?

You're human.

So am I.

Humans help each other.

When we track
back to the underside...

...we'll return your crewman...

...only if you promise to leave.

I've got the landing site
locked in, captain.

Would you at least...

...talk to your people,
tell them what I proposed?

Our thrusters are down.

Fire them up again.

Pod One to Enterprise.
We've got an emergency.

Is anyone hurt?

We're okay, but getting out of here
is gonna be tricky.

Can you give us the coordinates...?

Captain?

I think we're done dropping.

How far have we gone?

You're down about 8 metres.

Looks like a couple
of the abandoned tunnels gave way.

Open it.

- Open it.
- Hold on.

Trip, if I open the port hatch,
what am I gonna find?

Open it.

You're on the floor of a stable tunnel.
You should be okay.

You're gonna have to build a rig
to get this pod back on the surface.

Aye, sir.

We're in the downslope passage.

We need to pass the cut-through
to get to your crewman.

Give me your pistol.

What are you
talking about?

If you want to see your human alive,
you'll give me your pistol.

Stay here with the shuttle.
Keep your com open.

Help!

Hold on a second.

Do you hear that?

Help! Help me!

It's Akary.

Help!

Help!

Help!

He must have fallen when
your sky ship quaked the tunnels.

- Are you hurt?
- I'm leg-broke.

The wood has me sealed down.

Would you risk your bones
to save a Novan?

I'll do what I can, but I doubt
I can make it down there.

We'll track together...

...but you'll need to trust me.

The water's rising. We have to hurry.

I need you to give me my phase pistol.

- My gun.
- Why?

- So you can go free your hostage?
- So I can free this man.

It's your turn to trust me.

Give me a hand.

Ready.

- Captain.
- How are you holding up?

Not badly, all things considered.

But I really wouldn't mind
getting this bullet out of my leg.

Tell them.

Tell them what Archer said
about the islands to the south.

They promised to leave.
Let them go. We'll be fine here.

We're not fine. None of us is fine.

We're rotting, all of us.

They've promised to leave.

I've seen back.

Vera Fuller was my mother.

That girl in the picture was me.

A human girl.

Our go-befores shared the same path.

We should listen.

- Ever heard of Judge Crater?
- Crater?

Disappeared in the early 20th century.

- How about Amelia Earhart?
- No.

1937. Never found a trace of her.

A lot of people spent years,
decades,

trying to figure out
what happened to them.

But neither of those mysteries
holds a candle to Terra Nova.

- And we solved it.
- Did more than that.

Those people were a year or two
away from extinction.

We didn't just find them.
We saved their lives.

All these years
wondering about that colony.

I never thought I'd become
a part of their history.

Tell you what, Travis.

Why don't you put together
the report for Starfleet.

If I'm not mistaken,
it'll be headline news back home.

"The Terra Nova Puzzle,
Solved at Last,"

as told by
Ensign Travis Mayweather.

Thank you, sir.
