All language subtitles for Seaquest DSV S02E17 Something in the Air-eng

Captain Bridger, last week a UEO
scientific expedition uncovered a chest

fabricated from
a substance that we cannot identify.

It was discovered amongst
other ruins from the Temple ofHaim1

which dates it back
over 6,000 years.

Nathan' if this chest
is what we think it is,

we'll be forced to revise most of
our thinking regarding ancient history.

SeaQuest has to land an Alpha Colony

to provide security for our scientists,

Until we know for sure
what we have,

this is strictly eyes-only.

Wow. It's nothing like the brochure.

All the comforts of home.

Yeah, if home happens
to be a UEO penitentiary.

I think the UEO's more humane
to its prisoners.

You might be right about that.
Some of us might know each other.

Butjust for the record,
playing for my team:

Dr. Susan Kaufman,

head of Anthropological Research
at the University of Illinois,

Dr. Karen Sommers,
our expert in text and languages,

Professor Torn Kearny, expert in things
less tangible but no less significant.

What he means is
I have a PhD in theology.

And what is tangible, Bill,
is a matter of opinion.

I'm Dr. William Crichton,
Bill, please.

General wrangler
for all these experts.

Well, now that we know
who we are,

I don't know about you people,
but 6,000 years of waiting

have left my patience
stretched pretty thin.

I say we get down
to the business at hand!

- I don't believe this.
- What is it?

It says,
“Do not open until Christmas."

Professor, I think
you should do the honors.

Well, darling, if what's
in this chest is what we think it is,

every day will be Christmas,

Have you been able
to make any of this out?

We're beginning to get a sense
of the mathematical logic involved.

We thought we had it at one point,
but somehow it didn't fit together.

We're still
working on it, though-.

M1}

Nothing, Bill.

Abso'utely nothing.

The reaction from the UEO
might best be described as shock,

I think the word here,
Captain, is “disappointment."

"Stunning disappointment,"
might be more accurate.

How about the writings
on the outside of the chest?

Dr. Sommers says she needs a little
more time, but not to give up hope,

The outside of the chest might
give us a clue as to what was inside.

- If she finds anything
- I'll get to you right away, Good night,

Thank you.

Didn't anyone ever teach you
that it's polite to knock first?

If you don't mind, it's getting late.
We had a long trip.

Look, I think you'd better

What is this?
What are you doing?

What are you?

SOMETHING IN THE AIR

Here we go. This is the time
that separates the men from the boys.

- Come on, come on.
- Eight seconds left.

'Yes, yes, yes!
- No' no! - Yes, yes!

_ Nov no!
' Yes!

- Yes, yes, yes!
- No, no!

_ Yes~ Yes!
' No!

Don't nobody move. You all owe
me money. Where're you going?

- Grease this, Thank you.
- All right here you go.

I'm the lucky winner.
All right, you two, pay up.

I be! on the Spartans
and the Spartans won.

Tough luck' DW.
You gotta beat the spread.

- The spread?
- You gotta beat the spread, pal,

Is he trying to pull the sheep
over my eyes?

That's "wont" Dagwood.
And you do have to beat the spread.

It's the Alpha Base.
It's the Alpha Base.

Come in, Alpha Base,
And I owe you one.

- Piccolo?
- The “almost late“ Piccolo.

So, how's your secret mission?

You guys sang songs and
danced around the campfire,

and exchanged secret
handshakes last night?

Well, the big mission's turned
into something of a fizzle.

How are things on the home front?
You guys getting by without me?

It's tough,
but we're doing our best.

So, buddy,
Just between the guys here,

- what's going on down there?
- Sorry. Loose lips and all that.

Who got you Darlene's phone number
when you were on your knees begging?

Darlene? Yeah.
Speaking of fizzles Later, Tony.

Not my fault,

Oh, oh, oh.

Yes!

Susan?

Bill, you and Lonnie
take the east sector.

Wendy and Professor Kearny
can check the depot.

Jim, you and Tim
check the airlock.

And Dr. Summers and I
will check the loading dock.

Everybody's on an open channel,
so if you find anything,

just holler.

Let's move.

We could split up and save time.
or we could do this together-.

T think together
might be a better idea, sir.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

And "Bill“ will do just fine.
I don't outrank you.

This way.

Doesn't look like anyone's used
this place in over a century.

It's okay, it's okay.

Here, look.

It's not very fashionable, but considering
what it was designed for, useful.

I feel so stupid.

Then you're one step ahead of me,
because I'm still feeling terrified,

Come on, let's go.

I can't believe
we used to mine like this.

When strip mining on the surface
was outlawed, the miners came down here.

Till the UEO put a stop to it,
they were wreaking

the same kind of havoc
on the ocean floor.

So much for so little.

- What's the problem? - I'm requesting
permission to seal off Alpha Base.

Why?

There's been a murder.

Okay, we've
sealed off the base.

Until we know what's going on here'
no one is to use the radio

or leave the base without my orders.

- What is it?
- Well

Dr. Crichton and I just finished
examining Susan's body.

- And? - Well, without
the proper equipment it

What'd you find, Doctor?

She was completely exsanguinated.

There wasn't a drop
of blood left in her body.

Commander, \ think you should
a“ some with me.

This is taken directly from
the inscription off the chest.

I told you we couldn't match it up with
anything in the university computer.

Well, we finally
figured out why. Watch.

- H's a mirror image.
- Have you deciphered it?

Well, it's a little shaky'
but here goes.

"Set, the void is eternal home."

Wait a minute, Karen,

What is this here?

Set.

What is “Set"?

The ancient Evil One.
A demon.

According to most theologists,
it was the first name given to

- Pure evil.
- Yeah.

But why would someone write it
in a mirror image?

That took me a while, too. Maybe
because I didn't really want to know.

The chest is translucent.
You can almost see right through it.

I think

that the inscription was meant
to be read from the inside.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning,
Commander.

I'm not asking you
to follow my reasoning, Doctor,

only that you
follow my orders.

No one is going back to the seaQuest
until we know what's happened here.

I've informed Captain Bridger,
he's informed Secretary Genera McGath.

The UEO supports
this course of action.

Yes, but if we have
released some sort of

I don't know what to 03“ this.
Some sort of evil.

Wouldn't it be best if we left
Alpha Base immediately?

The My evil here,
Dr. Crichton, is on two legs.

And you agree with
your lieutenant's assessment?

I won't endanger
the rest of my crew or the seaQuest.

Something or someone
killed Dr. Kaufman.

Whoever or whatever it is'
it is here with us now. It's contained.

Dr. Sommers, do you really
believe what you said before?

About the inscription
being meant to be read from the inside?

Unless you have
a better explanation

I wish.

I've been trying to come up
with one for the last four hours.

You seem to know something
about ancient theology.

Well, what I don't understand tends
to make me nervous, so I read a lot,

- And that helps?
- Not really.

The more \ read,
the more questions I have.

Every time I go past
a library, I get an anxiety attack-.

Maybe you should stick to the easy ones,
like The Little Engine That Could.

Yeah, \ remember that one.
"I think I can, I think I can."

- Yes.
- Gave me nightmares for weeks.

- Hold on here
- What is n?

I'm not exactly sure,
but there's writing on the bottom here.

From what I can make out,

this might be some sort
of an instruction manual.

An instruction manual?
What do you mean?

It's written in the same code.

It'll take me some time'
but the first line reads,

"To whomever finds
that which has been cast out."

- How \ong win it take you to find out
the rest of it? - It depends.

The lines from here
to the university are pretty slow,

What if Lucas could relay your information
through his computer on seaQuest?

Yeah, that would help.
If the lines were up to speed, 24 hours

- Or better, if you can.
- Yeah.

You intend to spend the night here?

We'll buddy up.
Everybody in pairs.

That way, it'll be easier to

To keep an eye on each other?

- You coming?
- See you in a minute.

Dr. Smith, be careful,

- What's wrong?
- I don't know. I just got a chill.

Don't you feel ll?
It just got really cold.

I didn't feel anything.

I'm all right. I'll Just feel better
when we get back on seaQuest,

Yeah, won't we all?
Good night.

Good night,

I'm the lucky winner.

I'm the luck...

Later.

You know the part
I don't understand?

Besides all of it?

Tony said that betting was going
to be fun, but I'm not having any fun.

Lucas, you've gm 3 “mm mm“; "m.

Yeah, I'll be right there.
Look, it's the luck of the draw.

Sometimes you get lucky,
sometimes you don't.

- Gotta go.
- I understand.

Tony said he got \ucky
Saturday night.

I wonder
what he bet that girl?

It should be coming
through right now.

- Transmission complete.
- We got it.

Good, You've got a faster connection
to the university net.

See if you can contact Dr. David Krasnow
and see what he can make of this.

Yeah. HI get back to you.

How you holding up?

When I worked
on the solar station with my father,

all I wanted was
to be a UEO sailor.

Now that I'm a UEO sailor,
I spend an awful lot of time

wishing I was back
at that solar station.

- Can I ask you something?
- Shoot.

How well do you know
Dr. Crichton?

Why do you ask?
Interested?

- I don't know, but he seemed to be.
- Yeah, I'm not surprised.

The Divorce Syndrome.
But I think he's peaking,

Don't take this the wrong way'
but for the past two months,

Bill's asked most of us
female staff out for coffee,

and most of us have
good naturedly refused,

He's a good man, though.
Just going through tough times.

When he gets over it,
though, he'll be a great catch-.

Yeah, if he ever gets over it,

I think I'll be fine, having
a beautiful woman looking after me.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.
I just can't get rid of this chill,

Thanks.

You think you'd do it
differently, next time.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- It's truly none of my business.
- You're an empath.

It's okay.

Say what you were
going to say.

You feel that you
did something wrong,

that you weren't husband enough,
or father enough.

But you gave all
that you had to give.

Correction. I gave

I gave most of what
I had to give to my work.

I only gave what I had left
to give to my family.

But you love your work.

There's one problem there, my work
doesn't keep me warm at night,

my work doesn't love me back.

You know, it's ironic.

I come from
a fairly religious family.

The more I became interested in science,

the less my parents
were interested m me.

Religion and science
are not mutually exclusive.

Now you tell me.

My parents were

How can I put this politely?
They were fairly parochial.

I think I saw science
and knowledge as an escape,

as a way om from their
me this “me work! mm had mm,

so \ buried myself in facts.
The facts, nothing but the facts.

Then the facts came,
the parents left.

And your wife
felt the same way?

It was supposed to be different, I was
the esteemed, knowledgeable professor,

and she was my student.
H was perfect.

I thought I'd finally met someone
who loved me for my love of science.

You don't seem to be as wise about
women as you are about science.

You get an

This is between us, okay?

AM the science, all the facts
and knowledge in the world,

don't amount to the proverbial
hill of beans if there's

Nothing inside.

If there's nothing to believe in
that's bigger than the facts.

- Am I making any sense?
- Eloquently.

Alpha Base?
Come in, Alpha Base.

Commander, are you there?

- Captain. - I think I've just received
some information

- that may be useful to you.
- That would be useful.

According to Secretary General McGath,
it seems that last winter,

the UEO used
the Alpha Base as a secret site

for negotiations with
the Mid-Atlantic Alliance.

However,
certain modifications had to be made

- to make the site secure.
- What sort of modifications?

The entire base is covered
with iii-scan video recorders.

- You mean it's bugged?
- To the teeth.

If they're right,

it's possible that you may
have a recording of the murder itself-.

Commander,
I found one of the cameras.

We just follow this conduit, it should
take us right up to the main panel.

- Great. How long will it take?
- A place this size, about half an hour.

All right. Get Brady and Dr. Smith.
Tell them I want to see them.

If any of the others ask questions,
tell them I said it's seaQuest business.

Right, sir.

Okay, okay,
okay, I'm sorry,

I know it took me more than half
an hour to trace the camera,

but I think I finally found
the link to Dr. Kaufman's room.

Let's take a look.

Didn't anyone ever teach you
that it's polite to knock first?

It's really getting late.
We had a long trip-.

Look, I think you'd better

What is this?
What are you doing?

What are you?

You can't possiblyr
believe that I

At this point Commander,

I'm prepared to believe
just about anything.

Put the gun down.
Dr. Crichton.

Do we all have to see
that playback again?

I don't think you're fully aware of
the ramifications of your actions,

You're under UEO authority. Commander
Ford is the commanding officer of record.

And they still
execute people for mutiny.

Then it might be wiser if I
took my chances with the UEO.

You can't possibly believe
that I killed Dr. Kaufman.

I'm sorry.
Lieutenant Brody said it himself:

He believed that whatever was behind this,
was thoroughly human.

Did you change your mind,

or did your suspect list
exclude friends?

I don't think so' Demon
Put it down.

- I'm not the enemy hereA
- \ said put it down!

- Now.
- On the floor.

Kick it over here.

I'm sorry,
but I prefer to eat in private.

- Get it down! - All right, let's do this.
- Two, three, go!

- No. - Get back!
- Jim, wait!

- Jon - No, check the arms locker.
See if there's an alternative to bullets.

- H you think
- Jim, just do it,

Unless you're as prepared to shoot Dr.
Sommers as Dr. Crichton was to shoot me.

Sir, whatever's in that room
is not Dr. Sommers.

And it wasn't me
in Dr. Kaufman's room.

A lot of good that would do me if I'm
on a slab with a bullet through my head.

Okay, okay. Let me listen
and see if I can hear anything,

No. It's quiet

I'll watch all of you as you die,

Karen?

- This is the best I could get.
It's Priazime. - Good.

All right, take it easy.

Look, Ma, no strings!

What are you looking at?

- How long will it last?
- We've got about an hour.

Okay, we've got an hour
to get her secured. Let's go,

Okay, that's about as tight
as I can get them.

The question is,
who'll stay behind and watch her?

We don't have to.
We can monitor her from here.

These rooms are wired
with infrared motion and heat sensors.

It's part of the security system
from the UEO.

- We can watch from the main panel, okay?
- All right, Let's go.

Okay, that's a heat reading.

If she moves,
we'll be able to see her.

All right. Jim, you,
Tim and Lonnie stay on watch.

I'm going to need you
to examine Professor Kearny.

Whatever comes of this, I don't know

That's a good idea.

Jim, she's moving.

Let's go.

She's still here.

There's something
moving around in here.

Yeah? Whatever was here
isn't here anymore.

Tim?

What's going on here?

I spoke with Lucas
a half hour ago.

He spent the last four hours
on-line with Dr. Krasnow.

They haven't finished it yet,
but they gave me what they have,

I should have been
told about this.

- There wasn't time.
- You have a captive audience.

Dr. Krasnow confirmed one thing
that we already know,

The name Set,
or the demon, the Evil One.

It seems we have truly
opened Pandora's box.

Does it say anything about
how to destroy this thing?

If it hasn't been
destroyed in over 8,000 years,

it's unlikely it's going
to be destroyed now.

- Then we're all gonna die here.
- Maybe.

We do know a little bit more
about it than we did before.

It seems that Set needs
a human host before he can feed.

It's become fairly clear
to us what sustains him.

Professor Kearny was found
in the same condition as Dr. Kaufman.

There was no blood
left in his body.

There was something else.
I wrote it down.

“To steal the very air,
to return, the void is home."

Your guess is as good as mine.

Dr. Krasnow is working
on alternative translations.

The best that I could
come up with is that it's airborne.

It needs the air we breathe
to get what it needs.

This is crazy.

It seems that we're most
vulnerable to attack when we're asleep.

Our conscious awareness
seems to keep it out.

So what do you suggest we do?
Drink coffee and take amphetamines?

Yes. Except, to the best of my knowledge,
we have no amphetamines.

I've got three pots of coffee
going in the kitchen now,

Fight the demon with coffee.
The};r should advertise.

- How do you intend to get us
out of here? - I don't.

Not unless
we find a way to contain it.

Someone over 8,000 years ago
managed to get it into that chest,

- I figure if they can do it
- We can't even see it, for God's sake,

- How do you intend we catch it?
- We can track it.

O'Neill's got it
on the sensors as we speak.

It's in Sector K at the moment.

You sound as if
you've already thought this over,

I have. It's unlikely that our weapons
are going to have any effect on it.

It's not physical,
at East, not without a host.

Our resources here
at the base are limited.

So we must use what we have.

- And what would that be?
- We have electrical generators.

If we can get it to where we want it,
Tim can set up a grid.

We should be able to give it
a pretty good shock.

That's easier said than done.
Okay' let's say Tim puts a grid up.

And after that, how do you expect
to get it where you want it?

We're going to have to build a mouse trap.

A mouse trap.

And where do you intend
to get the cheese?

It's coming toward him.

It stopped.

It knows.

- Is it within the grid?
- Close enough,

- Then do it.
- Two, one

Now!

- We didn't even slow it down.
- We've got it on the sensors.

Why don't we just leave it here
and get back to the seaQuest?

Because we opened the box.
Lieutenant.

You want to take the chance
we let this thing loose in the world?

- I'm open to alternatives.
- We all are.

I'll talk again to Lucas. There's still
more coming in on that translation.

The rest of you, grab some coffee
while it's still hot and strong.

Maybe Dr. Krasnow
can tell us something.

I'm afraid that's all we've got,
Commander.

Lucas, do you pray?

Not since I was rem lime.

Well, now might be a good time
to start again.

Thanks.

M1}

Nothing.

There's some more references
to the "sleep of death" and "the void,"

- but nothing of any use. - I've been
thinking about something.

At the moment,
you're a step ahead of me.

We been thinking
about the phrase,

"The void is home,
and to steal the very air."

What's a void
that steals the air?

- A vacuum.
- Right.

Where do we find this thing?
2 miles deep,

buried in the ocean,
in an airtight chest.

You might
have something.

If we could get this thing in the airlock,
we can pump out all the oxygen,

If you're right,

then I owe you a big' fat,
Juicy steak dinner at Corey's,

- I'm a vegetarian' but thanks anyway
- Then a juicy eggplant. Let's go.

I can definitely
adjust the compressors.

The trick is
to get that thing in there.

I don't think it will fall
for the same trick twice.

But if it thought
we were having, and it needs air,

and it can't go out
into the water, it just might follow us.

It's worth a try.

All right, a half hour.
We pack our gear,

we'll meet back
in the main room.

This is the only shot we've got.

This is a bad time, Bill,

It's the only,r time
I've got right now, Alyson.

Of course. Why should
anything have changed?

You had a free moment
in your busy schedule,

so you pulled yourself
away from work to call.

Well, it's a bad time for me.

Alyson,

I just wanted to say

I'm sorry.

It's too lime, too late' Bill,

I can't tell you how many nights
I waited up for you,

and hoped you would come home
and say those very words.

I'm not waiting up anymore.

Smart guy you picked.

Look' Bill'
this really is a bad time.

Yeah, right.

Maybe next week, okay?

Right.

I'm sorry to bother you.

- You seen Dr. Crichton?
- No.

AH right why don't you
head out toward the airlock?

I'll see if

Maybe you'd like to speak
to your mother, Mr. Ford.

I see her quite often.

I'm not listening.

I get it. “Sticks and stones
will break my bones."

Dr. Crichton, no!

Let go, Jonathan.
It's the onlyr way-.

The lock's jammed!
We can't budge it!

It's too late!

Oh, no!

Dr. Crichton!

It's over.

- Whenever you're ready, Tim.
- Aye, sir.

You handled yoursefi
very well back there.

Thank you, Captain.
You know something?

All the times that
I wish I'd had the command,

this time I wish
you'd been there.

Nonsense. You're gonna be
running this boat one day.

If you think that it's too late,
we can do it tomorrow.

- Come on, Dag, it was a figure of speech,
- No, it is not.

- Nice!
- Excuse me. Piccolo.

I don't know how to break this to you,
but you're out of uniform.

Tell me about it, sir.
He took my pants!

We had a bet. I said I would win,

he said, "My pants."

It's just
a figure of speech, Dag.

- I'll give you $10 for them,
- A bet's a bet.

- So, you won a bet.
- Five in a row.

I beat the spread,
I got his pants.

- Yeah, right. Very funny.
- Whatever.

- Cute shorts.
- Luck of the draw pal.

Sometimes you win,
sometimes you don'

I'm the lucky winner.

I'm the lucky winner.

I'm the lucky winner.

Hi, there, I'm Kathy Evison.
Imagine swimming along,

and suddenly coming face to face
with one of these guys,

a 23-foot, 10,000-pound kiHerwhale.

Killer whales are not actually
whales at all, but dolphins.

Their names come from the fact
that they are the ocean's top predators,

and known to be
actually whale killers.

Preying mostly on fish and seals,
killer whales find their prey

with a type of sonar
called echo location.

Also known as areas, killer whales are
extremely social and complex animals,

who, though not endangered,
are only protected in US waters.

See you on the next adventure
of seaQuest.
