Original subtitles

Still nothing on the breach, sir.

This pan of the abyssal is famous for its phantom signa\s.

We get them all the time.

I don't investigate Boogie Men, soldier.

Launch a Scattercom, 10 minules west at 3200 meters.

Sir, I'm not authorized to violate U.E.0. tracking accords.

Well, fortunately, I am.

S.C.l. transmitting at

twenty.

Thirty-thousand meters,

seventy thousand,

one hundred.

There you are. Isolate it.

- Give me a secured audio' I wanna hear this. - Yes, sir.

That's weird. If I didn't know, I'd swear it was looking for seaQuest.

Wake the General.

You said we couldn't make their technology.

We can't. I launched an S.C.l.

That's a U.E.0. violation.

Yes, sir, it is. But, as I understand it, so is treason.

You telling me I have a spy aboard seaQuest?

One that I know of.

Secure all locations! On the double! On the double!

Drop that knife! Put that down!

- You mind telling me what this is about? - Stand to, Captain.

Stand to? What is this? A joke?

- This is strictly need-to-know. - You're not my commander.

You can't storm aboard my boat, arrest my people.

- You bet I have a right to know. - Not this time, Nathan.

I still can't get through, sir, sorry. Do you want me to keep trying?

Yes, Mr. O'Neill. I want you to keep trying.

Aye, sir.

You are traveHing east by southeast. Thank you for selecting

If we find our off ramp, sure you wanna blow right past it?

I'm sorry. I just don't get to drive that much.

- H0w'd you like the food'? - Major paella time.

- How'd you ever find that place? - Nice, huh?

I don't know, I think I woke up there.

You still alive, sport? What are you doing back there?

Drawing.

You took the restaurant's place mat!

- I didn't mean to. - He's kidding, Dagwood.

- Did you get enough to eat? - I'm still hungry and I have to urinate.

Junction of U-5?. All circuits are busy. Please try again.

- Try the Internet. - I tried. I can't log on.

GPS lockup has failed.

That's weird. Global positioning is never down.

- I wonder how old ihese are'? - Mapdisks?

That idea went out with leather seats,

Enter your coordinates or press "Q" for further assistance.

- Lucas? - Not now, Dagwood.

- But, Lucas. - No!

Mister, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there.

Where did he come from'? There's ho town around here for miles.

- Must be a reservation or something. - Yeah. It's minor.

But this guy Hey, guy. You lost or something?

That would be "no," right?

I wouldn't aggravate him, Tony.

Not to worry, aggravation doesn't seem to be in this guy's book.

What's going on?

I've been looking for you two for over' an hour.

- Where's Lucas? - He's right here.

- What's wrong? - Darwin's been arrested.

That signal has been chewing up U.E.0. communications all week.

A signal transmitted over secured U.E.0. frequencies.

General, he's a dolphin, not a spy.

You can't put him in just any ecology. He's gonna get sick in there.

Your mammal is responsible for a breach in U.E.0. Security.

Until we know who he was talking to, we'll keep an eye on him.

My friend, have you been sending messages?

Come on, I don't think these guys are kidding around.

Who sent this to you?

Captain, if there were fewer people around.

I don't think we're gonna sneak him a flounder with a file in it.

Is there something about national security that amuses you?

Yes. Quiie a bit.

Lieutenant.

That guy's a million laughs.

- Who are the messages to? - Bridger message,

- My message? - Returning.

- Who's returning? - Invitation.

Cooperation.

- What? - Our friends, they're returning.

- The aliens? - Visitors coming.

That would explain the Internet going down and the power drain.

You're forgetting something.

I withheld very important information from these people.

- I'm lucky I'm not injaiL - Darwin tired.

Thanks for keeping our secret.

This is my crime' pal, not yours.

Engaging extraterrestrial; inviting them back.

We don't know anything about these aliens.

Who are they? What do they want?

- We'll ask. - We're the U.E.0.:

The first line of defence between invasion and the people of this planet.

Don't you think we should think this through?

- Do you want me to uninvile them? - No, what I want

is to fly back to Washington to see my Capilols play.

Three aliens land and you want to see a hockey game?

- Ifs the finals. - Oh! Oh, that's fine. Great.

You have my word, I'll take every precaution.

I had your word last time.

This time, I want Rienhardt in charge of security.

- Rienhardt is a jerk. - Yes, but he's my jerk.

And no one's gonna be walking off with the planet on his watch.

I want my dolphin back.

An intelligent holographic message

that could still be activated after a million years.

Imagine the kind of technology that slipped through our fingers,

But not this time.

Commander Ford and I both feel that a night docking at sea

would provide the most security.

We'll be evacuating this entire sector.

We'll launch a (lass-B buoy,

signaling to the surrounding ocean communities

that the U.E.0. is investigating a bioreactor spill.

We'll then communicate coordinates with the aliens through Darwin,

rendezvous with the alien ship'

and then escort her to a secured U.E.U. underpost.

You were gaining at this part, weren't you, Captain Bridger?

It's a deionization process.

The results weren't permanent.

- No side-effects? - No.

Except for the hope they'd return.

You have no idea what these creatures did to you,

yet you would willingly submit to it again.

Sounds like you've been brainwashed, and not by any alien.

- Anything else, Lieutenant? - Yes.

I want Seaman Piccolo and your Model K off-loaded.

- Why? - Piccolo is a convicted criminal,

your Model K is classified technology.

There's nothing classified about our Model K.

And as for Piccolo,

we don't persecute those who've submitted to the will of the court.

- He's here to make good. - He's better at making trouble.

This is my call, Captain.

- This stinks. - I know- Take it easy, sailor.

I got more in common with these aliens than anybody.

- I agree' but that's not the point. - What is the point?

- Special circumstances. - We're special?

Yeah, we're special. I'm a convict, and you're a varicose vein.

Rienhardfs order is not out of policy.

- H's just unfair. - Get used to unfair, Dag.

Military's lousy with it.

Shuttle MR-S is cleared for departure.

Wait. I forgot my drawings,

Sorry, Dagwood. Now means now.

Your drawings will be safe, I promise.

Commander Ford, everyone's checked in and we're green to go, sir.

Up-world reports all phases of the evacuation have been completed.

Thank you, Commander, Mr. Ortiz'?

Yes, sir. Caps and Rangers tied with 3:09 to go.

I'm sorry, sir. General Thomas asked me to keep him appraised of the game.

We're in position any time you wanna send the message.

See who's listening out there. Come in, Scott.

We're set' Nathan. We got our fingers crossed.

- One night in jail, he gets a tattoo. - Everyone thought I'd be the first.

Is he all right?

He picked up a non-virulent strain of some kind. No big deal.

I'll do some more blood work, but he'll live.

They're responding to our signal.

- That was fast. - I think they're as anxious as we are.

I find that hard to believe. Let's go for it.

Numbers accepted.

Eager welcome.

- Gratitude. - Thanks' pal.

What's their ETA?

Sir, their ETA was two minutes ago.

They're here already?

On their way down, sir.

That's what I call stealth technology.

All right. Open the window.

- Let's see what she mks like. - Aye, sir.

Nitrogen cement six pans per thousand.

It's smaller than the last ship'

but the fusion ranges are through {he roof.

They've had a million years to improve it, if that's possible.

Initiate docking sequence in three, two, one.

Caps are out of it, four games to three.

If anyone

Docking procedure complete.

Henderson.

On behalf of all the people of our confederations,

we welcome you.

You'd think over the last million years they picked up some Earth words.

- I'll take that. - Lieutenant!

It's okay now. It's cool.

No. It's very cool.

You've learned to talk to us.

We picked up a couple of words.

- I'll need those. - We'll give them back.

We have come in peaceful exploration of our common goahs.

We want you to feel safe.

And this

It's barium. It's a harmless sensor,

- You need that leash? - I can't let them off the seaQuest without it.

Anything else, Lieutenant?

Yes. You will submit to a full medical workup followed by a Q and A.

It's security. We don't like it either.

Please.

Nathan, I'm gonna take a sea crab-.

I wonna see inside their cockpit.

I promise' I won't touch anything.

- Let's take us up, Commander. - Aye, sir.

Elevator engaged. Please state destination.

Now, there's intelligent life.

Lieutenant, I can't imagine anyone feeling welcome

when you've got them on such a short mash.

These guys have come an awful long way.

Well, in all due respect, we don't know where they came from.

And we don't know why they're here.

It's gonna be hard to find out, if they don't feel they can trust us.

It's not their trust I'm interested in. It's their fear I want.

With their technology, it might be the only effective weapon.

- That's assuming they know what fear is. - Oh, they know all right.

There isn't a creature in this universe whose heart isn't driven by fear.

We Just have to find it.

The design is flawless.

If I could figure out how to synthesize their heart,

I could make a fortune in the pulmonary aftermarket.

Look at this. They're not even breaking a sweat-.

Don't they know they're not supposed to like this?

Well' in theory, we're heading the same way.

There's nothing here I can't identify.

I've always theorized about a biological evolution

away from carbon to silicon life forms,

durable, organic, relatively invulnerable to damage.

Wait. Are those what I think they are?

Male and female reproductive organs.

No disease' no hang ups.

- No "Honey, I got a headache." - Well, that's no fun.

So much for perfection.

- Nothing's perfect, Captain. - Good.

Anything that can self-procreate and live to be 300 years old

- has got to have some flaws, right? - You'd think so, wouldn't you?

Quark physics applied is inter-dimensional.

We've made theoretical stabs at these concepts,

but you've actually proven that our theories on fusion

and matter- antimatter propulsion systems

makes intergalactic travel possible.

With all due respect to your findings,

I know what we know. But I want to know what they know.

You have had the ability lo travel between planets

for over a million years. Where have you been?

What have you seen? How many times have you been to Earth?

- Have you been here recently? - No. We have not.

With your knowledge, we could wmpstart the new world.

Apply concepts in high-life dynamics.

Peace, thousands of years ahead of the game.

You must come to knowledge. It cannot come to you.

We have come here, searching for beginnings of intelligent life.

Until we understand the genesis of all life-bearing worlds,

we find our knowledge meaningless.

We are very flattered that you responded to our signal,

But, surely, we're not the beginning of life.

With the universe constantly expanding and creating new life

aren't you just wasting your time stopping here?

Perhaps you should ask your Dr. Smith about wasting time.

Doctor Smith? Wendy?

Don't be afraid. That's what she does.

What? Why is everyone looking at me?

Next time you decide to pick their brains, you might wanna ask first.

Why won't you permit us to leave your base?

Well, your appearance would cause concern and panic among our people-.

- Panic'? - It's very common for people to fear what they don't understand.

But you are not afraid,

I guess I'm just too stupid to be afraid.

Our methods oi security can seem a little mistrustful,

but they are for your own good.

Give us 24 hours to work something out,

I have every confidence

that we can make this a satisfying encounter for everyone.

Why am I always suspicious when you and I are in agreement?

You don't object to a little good cop, bad cop, do you?

Not when you play both parts.

Having Dr. Smith read their thoughts without their permission is inexcusable.

She could've been hurt,

What good is having a parapsychologist if you can'! engage her'?

Well, they like the Wolenczak kid.

They should spend time together, build a trust.

The kid's name is Lucas.

You don't intend to let these people leave the base, do you?

You can't He to them,

Who's lying to who, Captain?

They want to find the beginnings of intelligent lite.

- What did they do, stop to stretch their legs? - Why not?

Captain, these "people" can travel thousands of light years

in the time it takes me to back out of my driveway.

Technologically speaking, we have one hell of an opportunity

- bul very little leverage. - The leverage is not gonna be Lucas.

- No? - No.

Well, it can be their space craft.

And if our friends aren't a little more forthcoming in the next 24 hours,

not only will they not be leaving For! Gore,

but I'll see to it they don't leave this planet.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Where are the others?

Do you want me to come with you?

They've left the ship. Where is this position?

That's a cove about half a mile from here, within the evacuation area.

Who's with them?

- Lieutenant Brody. - Yes, Commander.

Who's watching our guests?

Aren't they with you?

Get a transport. Meet me up top.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Kind oi late, isn't it? Everything all right'?

It's wrong to keep them from leaving the base.

That's not our call, Lucas. Are you all right, Lucas?

Where's the other guy?

Come on, we have to get back to the seaQuest. Where is he'?

This won't hurt.

Well, something happened here.

I'm getting ion particles and a high mix of xenon and argon readings.

- Would it have caused these burns? - No.

Ion magnelics and fire can't exist in the same environment.

One of them needs oxygen, the other is literally an absence of oxygen.

Are you sure this is where the barium signal died?

They're gone.

I see no reason 10 doubt the abduction of your men.

Their ship is at the bottom of the ocean

- and your men are guarding it. - With their stealth technology,

they could have an entire fleet hovering just beyond our capabilities,

- and we would never know it. - Why the elaborate charade

it all they were interested tn was three of our people'?

You tell me, Captain.

Say nothing.

Vehicle I.D. confirmed.

U.E.O. plates. Probably had one too many.

Evening, tellows. Blowing the fuel cells out a little?

I'll need to check your vehicle registration and conveyance data.

Commander, huh?

I'm not gonna bust your chops on the speed violation.

But I do want to know what you're doing in a non-authorized zone.

- I guess we're a little turned around. - I guess you're a lot turned around.

The ocean's back that way about 65 miles.

You're gonna have to leave this area.

- We're on official U.E.0. business. - Not in this zone, you're not.

All right, fellows, step out of the car.

Don't make me ask you again. Now out of the car.

Move away from the vehicle.

Dagwood's drawing, Darwin's tattoo.

There must be some significance.

Doesn't anybody know what this means?

Could be some kind of ancient alphabet. Maybe a language.

Get me O'Neill.

- I found Dagwood, sir. - Oh, good.

Tell me.

- What is this? - I dorfl know.

But you drew hundreds of them.

Do you know what it means?

Who told you to draw them?

I don't know. I just started drawing it when we went to dinner.

- With Lucas and Piccolo? - When the highway went dark.

- Is Lucas hurt? - I hope not.

They were communicating telepathicaHy, sending a message ahead.

- To him? - Yes! Dagwood, Darwin.

- Did you want to see me, sir? - Yes.

Do you recognize this?

If I had 10 guess, I'd say it was a cadet,

like a picture symbol.

Maybe the kind Timucuan mound builders used.

- He drew it. - I didn't know you were Timucuan.

- I'm not. - No one is.

They were decedents of a pre-Columbian Creek and Iroquois nation.

Do you know what it says?

Can I read Timucuan? I'm not that dull.

- Am I? - No.

You could ask a Seminole Indian.

There's a reservation about 60 miles from here.

The transport vehicle is about 100 yards past that clearing.

We don't have to be afraid. They won't hurt us.

One abduction and the man's an expert.

I'm just saying that I think we can trust them.

In 1984, President Reagan denounced the holdings of the Florida tribes

even though they still had the deeds lo their wetlands.

His administration simply declared their documents worthless.

We need a location, O'Neill, not a history lesson.

- Something wrong with the computer? - No, sir, it's a map.

The Iroquois nations receive no funding, so we receive no intelligence.

- But I think you're close. - We are.

Oh, Captain. Hound out that symboPs meaning.

It represents some kind of Timucuan prophecy.

It's like their version of the last supper

where the disciples gather to discuss the end.

The end of what?

Everything.

Lucas. Don'!

No. Please.

We're safe. We just need to leave them alone.

Where are they? Where's Lucas?

Leave us to our work and no harm will come.

Three degrees Celsius above absolute zero.

- It's the echo, Nathan. - Echo?

Life hurled away from its origin.

The big bang.

Maybe they're not searching for new life.

Maybe they're starting over.

Now back off!

- Stop! - No, wait! - No, Nathan!

Get away from it. I said getaway! Move!

This is why you came?

To rid yourselves of this death?

It is not our leaders death we leave here.

It is his hope for the future.

We are all that remains of our world.

A planet, taken by our own hand, leaving nothing

but the knowledge that self-destruction is a fate sealed in the organism

of all life-bearing worlds.

The burden of intelligent life is death?

By finding the beginning, we hope to reengineerourorganism

- to build a new world. - For who?

For all of us or just for those for whom you see fit?

Aren't we all on the same path of destruction?

Yes, but, Captain, it doesn't have to be that way.

They were keeping a promise they made

to the people who lived on this planet long before we did.

And the knowledge of them someday returning gave these people hope.

Hope which we managed to destroy through technological imbalance,

fear and our own gigantic egos.

You give us hope, Lucas. Come with us.

Help us build a new life.

Captain?

I can't make this call. lfanything, Pm envious.

It's the journey of the ages, son. it's exodus.

Thank you, but this isn't helping.

The selfish part of me wants you to slay, Lucas.

But whether your work is with us, or with your new friends,

that's for you to decide.

Soak i1 up, junior. H's not every day you get your burl kissed by two planets.

I'm flattered, but

this is where my home is,

with my friends,

Maybe someday you'll come back for me.

We will come back,

We know you exist.

Now how do we return to what we thought was our normal life?

Once we leave, you will understand how to go on.

Who's driving that thing?

- Sir, no one, - No one?

It must be on some kind of auto pilot.

Shoot it!

Shoot what, sir?

Once we leave, you will understand how to go on.

Numbers accepted.

Eager welcome. Gratitude.

Thanks, pal.

What's their ETA?

Sir, their ETA was two minutes ago.

- They're here already? - On their way down, sir.

Talk about stealth technology.

Okay. Open the window. Let's see what she looks like.

Where's Lucas? He should see this.

Sir, I lost them.

- Lost them? - Checking frequency responses.

- What happened? - I don't know, they're Just gone.

- Like they got spooked. - Or changed their minds.

I'm sorry, sir, but whatever was out there, she's not there now.

False alarm, eh, Wolenczak?

Those aliens must have figured our dinky planet wasn't ready for them,

Yeah, something like that.

Welcome home. Sorry we had to shuttle you up-world-.

No problem, sir. I had two hours free liberty. I'll live.

I know you'll live. I just said I'm sorry.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

- Where were you? - Oh' I've been around.

Wait. His infection is gone!

Dr. Smith said that would take 48 hours to dear up.

- Well, I - Something you're not telling me?

No. No. I wouldn't keep anything from you.

Well, I know how disappointed the General's gonna be.

The General?

If anyone cares, the Capitols were just eliminated from the finals,

four games to three.

Mr. Ortiz, send the General my condolences.

Hi, I'm Rosalind Allen

and this is Moose' an orphaned manatee calf

being cared for by SeaW0rld's rehabilitation unit in Orlando.

Moose will grow to be about 10 feet long and weigh around 1000 pounds.

His life expectancy is about 50 years,

but manatees as a species are endangered.

Less than 2000 remain in the wild.

Rescue programs like SeaW0rld's

aim to help repopulate the ocean with these gentle creatures.

See you on the next adventure of seaQuesl.
