1
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:52,455
Volcanoes, the foundries of the Earth,
2
00:00:52,456 --> 00:00:55,181
ladies and gentlemen, where the very wheels
3
00:00:55,382 --> 00:00:58,308
of planetary evolution still turn.
4
00:01:03,801 --> 00:01:05,957
And where, I am here to tell you, you will
5
00:01:05,958 --> 00:01:10,033
find the only viable doorway to the
6
00:01:10,034 --> 00:01:10,921
inner world.
7
00:01:10,945 --> 00:01:12,171
Doorway to what?
8
00:01:12,195 --> 00:01:13,279
The inner world.
9
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,194
Egyptians, Greeks, the Norse, Romans,
10
00:01:17,195 --> 00:01:20,578
all told of vast inhabitable regions
11
00:01:20,579 --> 00:01:22,576
beneath the Earth. The same people who
12
00:01:22,577 --> 00:01:24,804
gave us science, logic, astronomy.
13
00:01:25,104 --> 00:01:28,569
This volcanic bubble,
if you will, is just
14
00:01:28,669 --> 00:01:30,756
one of thousands that weave a path to
15
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:35,130
the Earth's core. Estimated at over 3,000
16
00:01:35,231 --> 00:01:37,806
miles across and as high in places as
17
00:01:37,807 --> 00:01:40,802
5000 feet, you could slide the entire
18
00:01:40,803 --> 00:01:43,675
United States into it.
19
00:01:43,999 --> 00:01:46,547
If one had a proper craft,
20
00:01:48,345 --> 00:01:50,951
it could descend into a live volcano.
21
00:01:50,951 --> 00:01:52,008
Is this a joke?
22
00:01:52,009 --> 00:01:53,626
No, they could descend into a live
23
00:01:53,627 --> 00:01:59,369
volcano ... where enormous temperatures
24
00:01:59,868 --> 00:02:02,905
... where enormous temperatures
weaken the geological
25
00:02:03,305 --> 00:02:06,149
crust just the solid
side of liquid ... then
26
00:02:06,150 --> 00:02:10,764
a sonic blast, of suitable amplitude,
could open a momentary
27
00:02:10,765 --> 00:02:14,629
doorway to the inner
world ... it's ... it's
28
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:17,975
very clear, it's possible.
29
00:02:18,086 --> 00:02:20,452
It makes me crazy when
they call you a lunatic,
30
00:02:20,453 --> 00:02:22,489
a crackpot, a dreamer.
31
00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:24,184
Why won't they believe?
32
00:02:24,208 --> 00:02:25,455
Those minds can't
33
00:02:25,456 --> 00:02:27,362
be forced open. Put a move on it, I've
34
00:02:27,363 --> 00:02:30,209
got a surprise for you. They really call me
35
00:02:30,310 --> 00:02:32,667
a dreamer?
36
00:02:36,232 --> 00:02:38,619
Put - put a move on.
37
00:02:42,984 --> 00:02:49,595
Behold ... the Geo Explorer.
38
00:02:49,794 --> 00:02:51,164
Will it work?
39
00:02:51,287 --> 00:02:53,240
There's only one way to find out.
40
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,426
Forward, ever forward.
41
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:16,255
The rate of lava shift seems
like it's rising ... fast.
42
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,037
That's a roger, Mountain Base.
43
00:03:18,038 --> 00:03:21,074
Keep it firm on lava shift, Firebird. Over.
44
00:03:21,098 --> 00:03:22,391
No question, chief.
45
00:03:22,415 --> 00:03:25,791
Lava flow's on the north face is
twice what it was on our last check...
46
00:03:27,713 --> 00:03:30,211
And we're showing a new
breakup near the south, Firebird.
47
00:03:30,235 --> 00:03:31,208
Can you check it out?
48
00:03:31,232 --> 00:03:33,430
Acknowledged, on our way to confirm now.
49
00:03:34,153 --> 00:03:36,450
Don't know how close we can
get with these temperatures, but...
50
00:03:43,714 --> 00:03:46,161
It looks like it's gotta
be now or never, Jim.
51
00:03:46,285 --> 00:03:47,283
Your call.
52
00:03:48,606 --> 00:03:52,002
This is Firebird.
That's a roger on south lava breakup.
53
00:03:52,025 --> 00:03:54,722
I'm going in close to put
an eyeball on the dome.
54
00:03:55,145 --> 00:03:57,842
Whoa, it could be any minute now.
55
00:03:59,663 --> 00:04:00,966
Chris, Collin, put it on!
56
00:04:02,687 --> 00:04:05,256
It's happening now! This is it. This is it!
57
00:04:05,935 --> 00:04:07,386
I'm telling you, Collin,
all you got a do is agree.
58
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:08,788
My uncle will go along with it.
59
00:04:09,112 --> 00:04:09,829
No Chris.
60
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:11,527
Once your uncle sets mind on something,
61
00:04:11,528 --> 00:04:13,934
that's it.
62
00:04:13,935 --> 00:04:16,471
Personnel must clear the area. Repeat...
63
00:04:16,701 --> 00:04:18,676
We're going in, Collin, now.
64
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:19,996
Uncle Jim, take me instead.
65
00:04:20,096 --> 00:04:21,963
No, we have been through this.
66
00:04:21,964 --> 00:04:22,582
No, wait.
67
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:24,061
If we wait any longer
68
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,011
nobody will go in.
69
00:04:25,035 --> 00:04:26,557
But Collin says the decision is
70
00:04:26,558 --> 00:04:28,335
yours, he'll stand aside.
71
00:04:28,336 --> 00:04:29,098
Buckle up, Collins.
72
00:04:29,122 --> 00:04:30,210
Aye aye, sir. Sorry, Chris.
73
00:04:30,533 --> 00:04:32,421
I need you here.
74
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,057
You know all the work I've done,
75
00:04:35,657 --> 00:04:36,886
all the research.
76
00:04:37,609 --> 00:04:39,591
You're the only one who understands,
77
00:04:40,091 --> 00:04:42,028
who believes like I do.
78
00:04:42,952 --> 00:04:45,554
If something happens.
I need to know they'll be
79
00:04:45,573 --> 00:04:48,359
someone who'll carry on, maybe come and get
80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,118
me if I get lost.
81
00:04:50,917 --> 00:04:51,853
Wait.
82
00:04:51,877 --> 00:04:52,450
Can't!
83
00:04:52,573 --> 00:04:53,731
Here ...
84
00:04:55,651 --> 00:04:56,809
...take this.
85
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:01,412
Now you gotta come home,
cause I want it back.
86
00:05:01,713 --> 00:05:04,030
Forward.
87
00:05:04,129 --> 00:05:05,507
Ever forward.
88
00:05:08,503 --> 00:05:12,508
Control to Geo Explorer.
Jim, do you read me?
89
00:05:20,129 --> 00:05:21,884
Thank you Firebird.
90
00:05:22,108 --> 00:05:23,422
Raise Geo Explorer
91
00:05:23,423 --> 00:05:25,051
into locked position.
92
00:05:26,373 --> 00:05:28,371
Minus 60 seconds.
93
00:05:31,773 --> 00:05:35,459
Confirmed, telemetry has
tracking of your position, please.
94
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,878
T minus 45.
95
00:05:38,902 --> 00:05:39,862
We got 'em at ----
96
00:05:41,262 --> 00:05:43,039
That's a roger, thank you. Jim...
97
00:05:43,063 --> 00:05:45,060
---- confirmed.
98
00:05:45,084 --> 00:05:47,082
Beginning engine brief checks, now.
99
00:05:48,711 --> 00:05:50,844
Seismic activity increasing fast.
100
00:05:51,667 --> 00:05:53,539
Suggest you launch as soon as possible.
101
00:05:53,563 --> 00:05:55,433
Repeat, as soon as possible.
102
00:05:56,955 --> 00:05:57,941
It's gonna blow!
103
00:05:57,965 --> 00:05:59,152
Minus 15 seconds.
104
00:06:00,174 --> 00:06:02,971
Control, our readings indicate
the eruption has started.
105
00:06:03,195 --> 00:06:04,393
Can you confirm, Firebird?
106
00:06:04,417 --> 00:06:06,414
Affirmative, eruption has begun.
107
00:06:06,738 --> 00:06:08,136
It's gonna rip wide open any second now.
108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,158
No, too soon!
109
00:06:11,921 --> 00:06:13,919
No...no...
110
00:06:17,538 --> 00:06:19,835
Jim,
we're not showing you can launch in time.
111
00:06:20,259 --> 00:06:21,858
I won't turn back now.
112
00:06:22,058 --> 00:06:23,444
We're going in, dammit.
113
00:06:23,468 --> 00:06:24,854
All units, evacuate now.
114
00:06:25,454 --> 00:06:27,441
Prepare to fire engines, on my mark.
115
00:06:37,578 --> 00:06:41,293
Geo Explorer, this is Control.
Final countdown engaged.
116
00:06:41,493 --> 00:06:44,919
Jim, pairing in the final launch angle now.
117
00:07:07,870 --> 00:07:12,603
Geo Explorer, this is Control,
... do you copy? Over.
118
00:07:13,341 --> 00:07:15,788
Jim, this is Control, come in please.
119
00:07:18,385 --> 00:07:20,522
Firebird, this is Control.
120
00:07:20,562 --> 00:07:22,719
Can you confirm ship's status? Over.
121
00:07:23,941 --> 00:07:25,539
Negative, Control.
122
00:07:29,709 --> 00:07:31,020
Not a chance in hell.
123
00:07:31,444 --> 00:07:33,264
Geo Explorer, this is Control.
124
00:07:33,265 --> 00:07:35,181
Do you copy? Over.
125
00:07:35,382 --> 00:07:39,745
No way they lived through that.
Sorry, Mr. Turner.
126
00:07:39,746 --> 00:07:42,372
Chris?
127
00:07:47,077 --> 00:07:49,621
Chris? Mr. Turner?
128
00:07:50,645 --> 00:07:52,089
Mr. Wentworth can see you now...
129
00:07:52,090 --> 00:07:54,716
can see you now... can see you...
130
00:07:56,006 --> 00:07:57,103
Yes, yes.
131
00:08:07,414 --> 00:08:09,328
Mr. Turner, would you follow me, please?
132
00:08:09,429 --> 00:08:11,976
Mr. Wentworth is ready for you, now.
133
00:08:15,271 --> 00:08:16,892
Welcome, Mr. Turner.
134
00:08:18,214 --> 00:08:19,535
Thanks for coming.
135
00:08:19,536 --> 00:08:20,954
Thank you, sir.
136
00:08:22,852 --> 00:08:24,807
Broca's theories are a hobby of mine.
137
00:08:25,008 --> 00:08:28,144
Brilliant man, Jim Harlech, unorthodox yet
138
00:08:28,145 --> 00:08:30,620
a free thinker, a priceless commodity, a
139
00:08:30,621 --> 00:08:34,574
mind like that, which is why you are here.
140
00:08:34,675 --> 00:08:37,252
Exactly, now sir, I have factored out my
141
00:08:37,253 --> 00:08:39,758
uncle's seismic predictive methods...
142
00:08:41,256 --> 00:08:43,264
We're aware of your results.
143
00:08:43,564 --> 00:08:48,797
Excuse me, Christopher Edison Turner,
Dr. Margo Peterson.
144
00:08:50,995 --> 00:08:52,762
Oh, I'm sorry. You know one another?
145
00:08:53,391 --> 00:08:57,236
We've met. Dr. Peterson and I come from
146
00:08:57,237 --> 00:09:01,240
opposite sides of the scientific tracks.
147
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:02,938
Why is she here?
148
00:09:02,961 --> 00:09:04,186
Dr. Peterson is head of
149
00:09:04,187 --> 00:09:05,595
my research division. I thought you were
150
00:09:05,596 --> 00:09:07,726
aware of that.
151
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:10,359
No sir, I - I wasn't.
152
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:14,185
I'm a futurist, Mr. Turner,
I'm concerned with where
153
00:09:14,284 --> 00:09:18,508
we're going, and we're rushing headlong
154
00:09:18,509 --> 00:09:21,764
into oblivion; pollution, overpopulation,
155
00:09:21,765 --> 00:09:24,470
apathy. We live in a planetary community
156
00:09:24,471 --> 00:09:25,809
Mr. Turner.
157
00:09:25,810 --> 00:09:28,694
My father was making billions destroying
158
00:09:28,695 --> 00:09:32,470
the surface and I used my allowance to
159
00:09:32,471 --> 00:09:34,364
tunnel under it.
160
00:09:35,786 --> 00:09:36,894
Life in outer space is
161
00:09:36,895 --> 00:09:40,111
centuries off, inner space is not.
162
00:09:40,111 --> 00:09:42,627
You are not the only one,
for varying reasons, who
163
00:09:42,726 --> 00:09:46,032
is intent on going under, whereas I am
164
00:09:46,033 --> 00:09:48,160
the only one rich enough
to risk paying for it.
165
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,917
And that's why I'm here, sir.
166
00:09:51,516 --> 00:09:54,581
And this is how I'm gonna get there.
167
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,787
Four crew,
powered by thermal steam turbines,
168
00:09:58,187 --> 00:10:03,071
once we're under, and this is gonna
169
00:10:03,071 --> 00:10:05,617
render all previous
tunneling technology obsolete.
170
00:10:06,017 --> 00:10:07,744
Sonic blaster.
171
00:10:09,342 --> 00:10:11,422
Behold ...
172
00:10:11,446 --> 00:10:13,527
the Avenger.
173
00:10:13,626 --> 00:10:16,751
182 feet long, 200 tons fully loaded,
174
00:10:16,752 --> 00:10:18,909
with a 4 inch thick solid titanium hull
175
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:22,355
on a triad of all-terrain treads, 7 crew
176
00:10:22,356 --> 00:10:24,602
with room for 3 more, self generating
177
00:10:24,603 --> 00:10:26,728
fuel supply, completely omniphibious in
178
00:10:26,729 --> 00:10:29,485
nature, Sonic 4 units are incorporated in...
179
00:10:29,586 --> 00:10:32,672
You stole my design, my research!
180
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:34,499
I liberated your ideas, Mr. Turner,
181
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:36,477
expanded them, and started construction
182
00:10:36,478 --> 00:10:38,577
almost two years ago.
183
00:10:39,599 --> 00:10:41,191
Sue me,
184
00:10:42,390 --> 00:10:44,617
or come on board as a full partner.
185
00:10:44,617 --> 00:10:46,488
Captain Turner.
186
00:10:48,809 --> 00:10:50,588
There's just one condition.
187
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:52,393
What's that?
188
00:10:52,417 --> 00:10:55,192
Dr. Peterson goes with you.
189
00:10:55,793 --> 00:10:56,480
What?
190
00:10:56,504 --> 00:10:58,485
As my personal representative if you like.
191
00:10:58,509 --> 00:11:01,063
Why, she's been with the
program from the beginning.
192
00:11:01,087 --> 00:11:02,484
She'll co-supervise mission
193
00:11:02,564 --> 00:11:05,379
preparations and you will, of course, be
194
00:11:05,380 --> 00:11:08,127
in command, Captain,
once the mission is under way.
195
00:11:10,354 --> 00:11:14,089
It's an irrevocable condition, Mr. Turner.
196
00:11:14,588 --> 00:11:18,793
Decide. I'm an insanely busy man.
197
00:11:30,798 --> 00:11:32,553
For what it's worth, Turner, you made the
198
00:11:32,554 --> 00:11:34,621
right choice. Now should we discuss the
199
00:11:34,622 --> 00:11:35,816
rest of the crew.
200
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:38,047
Fine, who'd you have in mind?
201
00:11:40,814 --> 00:11:42,761
Dr. Tesue Ishikawa, from the
202
00:11:42,791 --> 00:11:44,799
Bio-botanical Institute. She's the world's
203
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:46,566
foremost authority on plant-based food
204
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:49,613
sources, and the ship's medical officer.
205
00:11:49,812 --> 00:11:54,216
Good, done. Here's the rest of the crew.
206
00:11:56,673 --> 00:12:00,598
Unacceptable, unacceptable, unacceptable.
207
00:12:00,798 --> 00:12:03,255
Miss Peterson, when's the
last time your life was in danger?
208
00:12:03,334 --> 00:12:05,400
I mean besides some virus jumping out of
209
00:12:05,401 --> 00:12:06,258
a Petri dish at you.
210
00:12:06,282 --> 00:12:07,728
What does that have to do with it ...
211
00:12:07,752 --> 00:12:09,935
Assembling this team is about balance.
212
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:13,379
We can't go poking around world's
213
00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:14,808
unknown with a bunch of lab coats.
214
00:12:15,309 --> 00:12:17,817
There's an inherent risk factor.
215
00:12:17,841 --> 00:12:19,605
I'm well aware of the risk.
216
00:12:19,628 --> 00:12:22,137
No, not risk - risk factor,
217
00:12:22,161 --> 00:12:23,968
a statistical variable defining
218
00:12:24,027 --> 00:12:27,342
response to danger in the unknown.
219
00:12:27,343 --> 00:12:29,081
The stuff that attacks the lizard brain in
220
00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:30,938
all of us and then either cripples you
221
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:33,543
or it makes you stronger.
222
00:12:33,567 --> 00:12:36,614
Lab coats have never been exposed to that.
223
00:12:36,738 --> 00:12:38,226
These people have.
224
00:12:38,350 --> 00:12:39,801
In fact, they like it.
225
00:12:40,125 --> 00:12:42,815
These three fit every conceivable physical
226
00:12:42,838 --> 00:12:45,382
situation we could possibly encounter.
227
00:12:45,406 --> 00:12:48,582
Sandra Miller,
psychologist and champion rock climber.
228
00:12:48,605 --> 00:12:49,701
Also spelunker.
229
00:12:51,123 --> 00:12:53,018
... master caver.
230
00:12:54,838 --> 00:12:59,380
Anthony LaStrella, world's
youngest jet aircraft test pilot and
231
00:13:00,850 --> 00:13:03,003
video game champion.
232
00:13:03,027 --> 00:13:06,103
Has the world's fastest
hand-eye reaction time.
233
00:13:07,641 --> 00:13:08,744
Joe Briggs?
234
00:13:10,067 --> 00:13:12,295
Ex-navy SEAL, still holds the
235
00:13:12,295 --> 00:13:14,421
all-time solo descent diving record.
236
00:13:14,422 --> 00:13:18,857
This only makes six crew members,
what about the seventh?
237
00:13:19,256 --> 00:13:22,132
Well, I - I haven't got a recent photo,
but it's
238
00:13:22,133 --> 00:13:23,938
Dr. Cecil Chalmers.
239
00:13:23,962 --> 00:13:24,646
What?
240
00:13:25,369 --> 00:13:26,950
The decision's already made,
241
00:13:26,974 --> 00:13:28,210
there's nothing you can do about it.
242
00:13:28,234 --> 00:13:30,260
You can't be serious.
243
00:13:30,483 --> 00:13:32,259
What possible function could that
244
00:13:32,259 --> 00:13:33,747
supernatural crackpot...
245
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:35,645
Dr. Chalmers is
246
00:13:35,645 --> 00:13:37,871
the categorical expert on legenderology
247
00:13:37,872 --> 00:13:39,758
and all mythic lore dealing with the
248
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:41,029
inner world.
249
00:13:41,052 --> 00:13:42,191
So what?
250
00:13:42,715 --> 00:13:44,224
Of what there is to
251
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:46,470
know about where we're going
252
00:13:46,471 --> 00:13:49,017
he knows everything.
253
00:13:49,018 --> 00:13:51,495
He advised my uncle...
254
00:13:51,619 --> 00:13:55,289
Did your uncle a lot of good.
255
00:13:58,365 --> 00:14:00,670
Closed minds...
256
00:14:00,894 --> 00:14:02,898
Miss Peterson ...
257
00:14:02,899 --> 00:14:06,573
every great civilization has stories of
258
00:14:06,574 --> 00:14:10,059
vast magical inner world.
259
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:15,082
My uncle believed that. Chalmers knows it.
260
00:14:15,183 --> 00:14:18,828
That is why I'm going down there,
to prove it.
261
00:14:24,042 --> 00:14:26,620
You haven't sold out Chris.
262
00:14:26,644 --> 00:14:28,822
Now - now, not another word.
263
00:14:28,846 --> 00:14:31,223
You made the right decision.
264
00:14:31,312 --> 00:14:35,126
Besides,
Wentworth may have stolen your ideas
265
00:14:35,127 --> 00:14:37,973
but once we're under, we will have
266
00:14:37,974 --> 00:14:41,169
effectively stolen his ship, so to speak.
267
00:14:41,170 --> 00:14:45,553
By Jove, it's brilliant. I'll be with you
268
00:14:45,554 --> 00:14:49,159
Monday week, as ordered, Captain.
269
00:15:28,777 --> 00:15:30,835
Oh no, no, not to worry.
270
00:15:31,435 --> 00:15:33,877
It's just turkey expanding.
271
00:15:36,198 --> 00:15:38,114
Hey, aw I got this one.
272
00:15:44,836 --> 00:15:49,533
Eh, I think I'm in love.
273
00:15:50,356 --> 00:15:53,655
Hey, hey, can't you read?
274
00:15:53,655 --> 00:15:55,342
You touch this stuff the wrong way,
275
00:15:55,641 --> 00:15:57,055
Boom!
276
00:15:57,079 --> 00:15:59,947
All they find is a shoe heel.
277
00:16:03,942 --> 00:16:05,278
Thank you, my man.
278
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:07,986
Now, it's critical you all
279
00:16:08,085 --> 00:16:10,113
appreciate the danger of this project,
280
00:16:10,314 --> 00:16:12,510
constituting a risk factor 10 times
281
00:16:12,511 --> 00:16:14,867
that of any NASA mission to date.
282
00:16:14,868 --> 00:16:16,593
Now,
if you decide to sign on you'll be paid
283
00:16:16,594 --> 00:16:18,252
one million dollars in cash.
284
00:16:18,253 --> 00:16:20,583
The mission should take six months.
285
00:16:20,906 --> 00:16:22,496
Hey, not that I
286
00:16:22,497 --> 00:16:24,654
couldn't use a cool mil, maybe get me a
287
00:16:24,655 --> 00:16:27,610
Porsche, or two, but Captain, I couldn't
288
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:28,798
help but notice we're sitting on the
289
00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:30,605
edge of one of nature's time bombs.
290
00:16:30,706 --> 00:16:32,493
Is there something you're not telling us,
Captain?
291
00:16:32,494 --> 00:16:34,240
Everything you need to know is detailed
292
00:16:34,241 --> 00:16:35,918
in the manuals, once you sign the
293
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:37,476
contracts and secrecy agreements.
294
00:16:37,477 --> 00:16:39,455
According to our data, within a year
295
00:16:39,456 --> 00:16:42,381
Mount Oliver is due for a major eruption.
296
00:16:42,482 --> 00:16:44,298
Now, our training and preparation is
297
00:16:44,299 --> 00:16:46,096
scheduled to be completed in six months,
298
00:16:46,097 --> 00:16:48,002
well ahead of the window of opportunity.
299
00:16:48,803 --> 00:16:52,009
Now, at that time, we will launch...
300
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:54,265
administering a sonic blast to the
301
00:16:54,266 --> 00:16:56,691
molten lava opening a momentary doorway
302
00:16:56,692 --> 00:16:58,583
to the inner world.
303
00:16:59,206 --> 00:17:01,096
Well, that about wraps it up, Turner.
304
00:17:01,897 --> 00:17:03,573
I'll take that return ticket, now.
305
00:17:03,574 --> 00:17:05,841
You haven't heard everything yet,
Mr. Briggs.
306
00:17:05,932 --> 00:17:07,527
I've heard enough. Now, I've dived
307
00:17:07,528 --> 00:17:10,495
everything from oil to toxic waste; even
308
00:17:10,496 --> 00:17:12,141
did a gig in a nuclear reactor once
309
00:17:12,142 --> 00:17:14,240
because some fool
dropped his Walkman in it,
310
00:17:15,141 --> 00:17:16,925
but I have never heard of anybody
311
00:17:16,926 --> 00:17:19,026
diving through solid damn rock.
312
00:17:19,050 --> 00:17:20,741
Not solid ... liquid.
313
00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:23,069
Right ... liquid damn rock.
314
00:17:23,693 --> 00:17:25,771
Do you know what kind of
temperatures you're talking about?
315
00:17:25,795 --> 00:17:28,293
We're not free diving through magma,
Briggs.
316
00:17:28,316 --> 00:17:30,863
Well then how in the hell are
we supposed to get down there?
317
00:17:30,887 --> 00:17:31,929
In a sub?
318
00:17:31,953 --> 00:17:32,995
Not exactly.
319
00:17:51,332 --> 00:17:55,177
Welcome to your new home, the Avenger.
320
00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:19,795
- Oh, Margo, this is incredible.
- You got to be kidding me.
321
00:18:20,718 --> 00:18:23,913
Oh, a tad large, don't you think, Chris?
322
00:18:26,487 --> 00:18:28,002
Reminds me of myself in many ways.
323
00:18:28,026 --> 00:18:30,761
Ah, geez, you broke it.
324
00:18:32,358 --> 00:18:34,336
No, next time I break it.
325
00:18:35,435 --> 00:18:37,651
The systems, Mr. Chalmers, required a
326
00:18:37,652 --> 00:18:40,877
housing of this size, no more, no less.
327
00:18:41,478 --> 00:18:44,403
What if we encounter a subterranean sea?
328
00:18:44,603 --> 00:18:47,278
The Avenger is completely
omniphibious in nature.
329
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:48,807
Like a frog?
330
00:18:48,808 --> 00:18:50,426
No, that's a dual environment species.
331
00:18:50,549 --> 00:18:51,753
This is omniphibious,
332
00:18:51,953 --> 00:18:54,857
Not all-terrain, any terrain.
333
00:18:54,858 --> 00:18:55,900
We're gonna fly this?
334
00:18:57,023 --> 00:18:58,815
Yes. Mr. LaStrella, we are.
335
00:18:58,914 --> 00:19:01,480
We're also gonna drive it and tunnel
336
00:19:01,481 --> 00:19:02,556
it through the Earth.
337
00:19:02,580 --> 00:19:03,918
What's the power source?
338
00:19:03,918 --> 00:19:06,113
It's in the reactor chamber, back this way,
339
00:19:06,314 --> 00:19:08,231
just ahead of the main thrusters.
340
00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:11,211
Nice.
341
00:19:11,235 --> 00:19:13,204
Sixty pounds of synthetic fusionable
342
00:19:13,205 --> 00:19:15,042
self-regenerating material.
343
00:19:15,043 --> 00:19:16,664
Has indefinite range.
344
00:19:16,688 --> 00:19:18,309
No stops at Texaco.
345
00:19:18,409 --> 00:19:19,664
Damn straight.
346
00:19:19,688 --> 00:19:22,172
I still don't get it. It's so big,
347
00:19:22,373 --> 00:19:24,989
How can we possibly move around down there?
348
00:19:24,989 --> 00:19:27,026
I mean, what if we run into like - like a
349
00:19:27,027 --> 00:19:28,794
really small cave or something?
350
00:19:28,795 --> 00:19:30,112
I thought you'd never ask.
351
00:19:30,213 --> 00:19:32,249
That's why I designed the sonic blaster.
352
00:19:32,450 --> 00:19:34,005
And why I perfected it.
353
00:19:34,229 --> 00:19:36,406
We've prepared a small demonstration.
354
00:19:36,406 --> 00:19:38,032
With your permission, Captain.
355
00:19:38,033 --> 00:19:40,459
Absolutely. It's over this way, people.
356
00:19:40,459 --> 00:19:42,466
Commence with the sonic bore test, Tom.
357
00:19:43,789 --> 00:19:45,087
Now hear this.
358
00:19:45,511 --> 00:19:47,109
Now hear this.
359
00:19:47,133 --> 00:19:48,454
Sonic bore firing in 20 seconds.
360
00:19:48,255 --> 00:19:50,253
Everybody ready?
361
00:19:52,554 --> 00:19:54,681
Clear the area.
362
00:19:58,018 --> 00:20:01,274
Power grid engaging.
Target coordinates locked and final.
363
00:20:01,297 --> 00:20:04,019
All systems green and
ready to fire on command.
364
00:20:05,518 --> 00:20:07,015
Prepare to fire.
365
00:20:08,637 --> 00:20:09,635
Fire!
366
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:30,184
We've tested the sonic bore on every
367
00:20:30,208 --> 00:20:31,963
existing geo structure known to man.
368
00:20:32,123 --> 00:20:33,851
Nothing withstands it.
369
00:20:34,074 --> 00:20:35,668
When do we go inside?
370
00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:37,984
Right now. If anyone has any
371
00:20:38,385 --> 00:20:40,475
reservations about the project,
372
00:20:40,699 --> 00:20:42,519
now's the time to decline.
373
00:20:49,053 --> 00:20:50,959
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
374
00:21:02,943 --> 00:21:04,479
To be honest about it, I was still
375
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,966
burning inside from Wentworth having
376
00:21:05,967 --> 00:21:09,232
stolen my work, but that first day when
377
00:21:09,333 --> 00:21:11,809
the crew all signed on and came aboard,
378
00:21:12,210 --> 00:21:14,366
I realized that this whole crazy project
379
00:21:14,367 --> 00:21:16,003
was gonna get off the ground I'd have to
380
00:21:16,004 --> 00:21:19,389
put that behind me now. For reasons I
381
00:21:19,390 --> 00:21:21,756
can only guess at Wentworth had put me
382
00:21:21,757 --> 00:21:25,591
in charge. I was their captain and it
383
00:21:25,692 --> 00:21:27,189
didn't take long to see that was bound
384
00:21:27,190 --> 00:21:29,047
to be as much of an adventure as getting
385
00:21:29,048 --> 00:21:31,760
to the center of the Earth.
386
00:21:32,084 --> 00:21:34,581
Don't even think about it.
387
00:21:36,877 --> 00:21:38,204
Like cramming these seven
388
00:21:38,205 --> 00:21:40,631
type-A Gonzo's in a titanium tin can
389
00:21:40,832 --> 00:21:42,399
for the next six months and keeping them
390
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,086
from blasting holes in each other.
391
00:21:45,187 --> 00:21:46,504
Not that the Avenger didn't have its
392
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:48,491
creature comforts but it was clear my
393
00:21:48,492 --> 00:21:50,379
job is gonna be looking past even what
394
00:21:50,380 --> 00:21:52,717
Margo's whiz-bang computer could see.
395
00:21:55,424 --> 00:21:56,900
We're outfitted for every possible
396
00:21:56,901 --> 00:21:59,277
circumstance Devin could anticipate.
397
00:21:59,478 --> 00:22:01,376
Hey, you know Captain,
I think I'll bunk right here.
398
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,224
I don't think that
would be appropriate.
399
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:04,175
Who's Devin?
400
00:22:04,699 --> 00:22:05,801
Sounds like a babe to me.
401
00:22:09,795 --> 00:22:13,460
Digital Electroplasmic Virtual
Intelligence and Navigator.
402
00:22:13,460 --> 00:22:14,898
Devin for short.
403
00:22:14,958 --> 00:22:16,784
Good morning, Devin.
404
00:22:16,807 --> 00:22:18,332
Good morning, Captain Turner.
405
00:22:18,333 --> 00:22:19,994
Is this the crew?
406
00:22:20,018 --> 00:22:21,878
Yes, it is. This...
407
00:22:21,879 --> 00:22:23,226
Dr. Tesue Ishikawa,
408
00:22:23,227 --> 00:22:25,234
your work precedes you doctor, I've so
409
00:22:25,235 --> 00:22:28,649
looked forward to meeting you, and you
410
00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:30,836
Dr. Chalmers, I hope we have time for
411
00:22:30,837 --> 00:22:32,184
lengthy conversation.
412
00:22:32,185 --> 00:22:33,492
Indeed.
413
00:22:35,813 --> 00:22:37,458
She controls every system on the
414
00:22:37,459 --> 00:22:39,672
ship, Cecil, I wouldn't mess with her.
415
00:22:39,696 --> 00:22:41,124
Devin, if you please.
416
00:22:41,723 --> 00:22:43,210
The upper deck stations
417
00:22:43,211 --> 00:22:45,247
control the Geoscience evaluation
418
00:22:45,248 --> 00:22:47,764
systems while all other mechanical and
419
00:22:47,765 --> 00:22:49,652
operational modes, from sonic bore
420
00:22:49,653 --> 00:22:52,049
deployment to flying, are controlled from
421
00:22:52,050 --> 00:22:54,715
the flight deck. Navigation shares a
422
00:22:54,716 --> 00:22:57,092
redundant link to Dr. Peterson ...
423
00:22:57,093 --> 00:23:00,198
I had to admit,
Devin gave new meaning to the word
424
00:23:00,199 --> 00:23:03,224
database, but I still wasn't about to
425
00:23:03,225 --> 00:23:05,112
just follow the bouncing ball, no matter
426
00:23:05,313 --> 00:23:07,159
how many megabytes she had up her sleeve,
427
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:09,236
at least not when hanging ten on the
428
00:23:09,237 --> 00:23:11,663
edge of an active volcano, which I knew
429
00:23:11,864 --> 00:23:13,571
could have the nasty habit of ignoring
430
00:23:13,572 --> 00:23:17,885
everyone's projections, and all the more
431
00:23:17,886 --> 00:23:19,463
reason to get right down to business.
432
00:23:19,964 --> 00:23:22,271
Step one was to have Margo familiarize
433
00:23:22,370 --> 00:23:25,315
our crew with the ship. Of course, knowing
434
00:23:25,316 --> 00:23:27,343
LaStrella he was in a hurry to just get,
435
00:23:27,444 --> 00:23:31,807
well, familiar, and the truth was Margo
436
00:23:31,808 --> 00:23:33,694
did seem more at home programming Devin.
437
00:23:33,695 --> 00:23:35,971
When it came to anything high-tech, no
438
00:23:35,972 --> 00:23:38,478
question Margo was in a class by herself,
439
00:23:38,479 --> 00:23:40,645
but somehow she couldn't seem to cut
440
00:23:40,646 --> 00:23:42,005
much slack for us mere humans.
441
00:23:45,131 --> 00:23:47,557
Fortunately, I knew Sandy and her smile
442
00:23:47,558 --> 00:23:48,775
would be as good at pulling us all
443
00:23:48,776 --> 00:23:51,353
together as she was at scaling mountains.
444
00:23:53,361 --> 00:23:56,017
Not to mention the
famous Dr. Tesue Ishikawa,
445
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:57,194
who had her own curious
446
00:23:57,195 --> 00:24:00,041
formula for uniting the crew.
447
00:24:00,041 --> 00:24:01,408
Oh, Margo was right.
448
00:24:01,409 --> 00:24:02,996
Tesue was first-rate as a medical
449
00:24:02,997 --> 00:24:05,393
officer, but she hauled all of us in for so
450
00:24:05,394 --> 00:24:07,011
many tests, Briggs took to calling her
451
00:24:07,012 --> 00:24:07,851
Marcus Welby.
452
00:24:11,836 --> 00:24:13,334
I don't think he meant anything by it.
453
00:24:13,744 --> 00:24:15,190
Hell, within the first week, Briggs had
454
00:24:15,191 --> 00:24:17,348
picked a nickname for most of us, so I'm
455
00:24:17,449 --> 00:24:18,976
sure it was just a coincidence, but when
456
00:24:18,977 --> 00:24:20,534
the time came for us to gather in the
457
00:24:20,535 --> 00:24:23,271
galley and try out some of
Tesue's more bionic grub,,,
458
00:24:24,141 --> 00:24:26,146
well, for some reason, she seemed to think
459
00:24:26,147 --> 00:24:29,283
Briggs was the man for the job.
460
00:24:29,733 --> 00:24:30,802
Meat loaf.
461
00:24:32,426 --> 00:24:33,656
I'm not sure but I don't think
462
00:24:33,657 --> 00:24:35,695
he ever called her Marcus Welby after that.
463
00:24:39,710 --> 00:24:41,256
I mean it didn't take a rocket scientist
464
00:24:41,257 --> 00:24:42,455
to know it would be tough enough
465
00:24:42,456 --> 00:24:43,604
learning to get comfortable in such
466
00:24:43,605 --> 00:24:45,471
tight quarters without looking to rattle
467
00:24:45,472 --> 00:24:47,928
each other's cages, and that I'm afraid
468
00:24:47,929 --> 00:24:50,115
included Chalmers' beloved briar number
469
00:24:50,116 --> 00:24:52,991
12, not exactly a big hit with fitness
470
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:57,409
freaks like Briggs and Sandy,
471
00:24:58,633 --> 00:24:59,253
so I had no
472
00:24:59,254 --> 00:25:01,680
choice but to tell him, Cecil, with his
473
00:25:01,681 --> 00:25:05,475
smoke there's mutiny. Besides where we
474
00:25:05,476 --> 00:25:06,793
were going, there was likely to be enough
475
00:25:06,794 --> 00:25:08,142
smoke even for his taste.
476
00:25:09,861 --> 00:25:11,817
And one good look at the volcano cookin'
477
00:25:11,818 --> 00:25:13,615
outside was all it took to settle that
478
00:25:13,616 --> 00:25:15,272
question and remind everyone that we
479
00:25:15,273 --> 00:25:17,040
were training on borrowed time.
480
00:25:17,441 --> 00:25:20,696
Two months,
15 days till operational readiness.
481
00:25:21,246 --> 00:25:23,702
I knew Devin could keep good time, but
482
00:25:23,703 --> 00:25:25,050
wary of putting all our eggs in her
483
00:25:25,051 --> 00:25:26,668
basket, I had Margo build us a
484
00:25:26,669 --> 00:25:28,585
holographic navigation unit so we could
485
00:25:28,586 --> 00:25:29,903
eyeball our way through the inner world
486
00:25:29,904 --> 00:25:32,630
if it came down to that, and I started
487
00:25:32,631 --> 00:25:34,218
drilling with LaStrella until he could
488
00:25:34,219 --> 00:25:35,836
not only fly the Avenger without me
489
00:25:35,837 --> 00:25:37,933
but deploy and fire the sonic bore
490
00:25:37,934 --> 00:25:41,519
blindfolded, if necessary.
491
00:25:45,164 --> 00:25:47,121
I need to be sure this ship and crew
492
00:25:47,122 --> 00:25:50,797
could survive even if,
for some reason, I didn't.
493
00:25:51,598 --> 00:25:53,044
Briggs was assigned with ship
494
00:25:53,045 --> 00:25:55,779
security and backup on navigation, and I
495
00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:57,187
told Margo to program a series of
496
00:25:57,188 --> 00:25:58,655
emergency drills for us, running the
497
00:25:58,656 --> 00:26:01,712
gamut from an onboard
fire to an all-out crash.
498
00:26:02,913 --> 00:26:05,227
Like my uncle's Geo Explorer, the
499
00:26:05,228 --> 00:26:07,474
Avenger was one of a kind.
500
00:26:07,575 --> 00:26:09,631
While we could guess
how the ship might react if
501
00:26:09,632 --> 00:26:11,399
things got gnarly, what the crew would do
502
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,497
was another story.
503
00:26:13,198 --> 00:26:15,205
But whether Margo and I chose well or
504
00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:16,433
we just got lucky,
505
00:26:16,634 --> 00:26:18,760
I was glad to see they all came through
506
00:26:18,761 --> 00:26:21,946
it like the pros they are, and then there
507
00:26:21,947 --> 00:26:23,803
was the so-called book of knowledge.
508
00:26:23,804 --> 00:26:25,979
I finally recognized a picture of it and
509
00:26:25,980 --> 00:26:27,808
Wentworth's office and I was sure
510
00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:30,055
Chalmers could fill me in if anyone could.
511
00:26:30,556 --> 00:26:32,981
Well, he did one better by revealing what
512
00:26:32,982 --> 00:26:34,989
he claimed was an actual piece of this
513
00:26:34,990 --> 00:26:37,236
magical book, supposedly coughed up by
514
00:26:37,237 --> 00:26:40,911
Vesuvius over a century ago and, frankly,
515
00:26:40,912 --> 00:26:42,139
I had trouble keeping a straight face
516
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:46,394
about it all, but Chalmers,
well, he wasn't laughing.
517
00:26:51,029 --> 00:26:53,005
According to Devin, the eruption was
518
00:26:53,056 --> 00:26:57,889
still months off, but it didn't look that
519
00:26:57,890 --> 00:27:00,016
way when I go out and walk the rim alone
520
00:27:00,217 --> 00:27:00,785
at night.
521
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:02,913
I knew this ship and crew were ready for
522
00:27:02,914 --> 00:27:05,978
anything, but then it never fell to me to
523
00:27:05,979 --> 00:27:07,807
be the captain of a
mission like this before,
524
00:27:07,807 --> 00:27:09,334
so maybe what was troubling me was
525
00:27:09,535 --> 00:27:12,080
whether or not I was ready.
526
00:27:12,581 --> 00:27:14,267
Dr. Chalmers, Hiram Wentworth.
527
00:27:14,268 --> 00:27:15,166
Very nice to meet you.
528
00:27:15,167 --> 00:27:18,432
I'm a great enthusiast of your work,
Dr. Chalmers.
529
00:27:21,833 --> 00:27:23,944
Hiya, Mr. Wentworth, Tony LaStrella.
530
00:27:23,945 --> 00:27:25,439
Mr. LaStrella.
531
00:27:26,463 --> 00:27:29,762
Hi. Sandy Miller.
532
00:27:30,086 --> 00:27:31,632
Charmed.
533
00:27:32,434 --> 00:27:35,520
A vessel and crew worth drinking to,
eh, Mr. Wentworth?
534
00:27:35,558 --> 00:27:38,563
Mr. Wentworth, fungal champagne,
535
00:27:39,387 --> 00:27:42,092
one of my more favorite synthetics.
536
00:27:43,393 --> 00:27:45,082
Hey, not too shabby.
537
00:27:45,106 --> 00:27:46,896
I say, Doctor, well done.
538
00:27:46,897 --> 00:27:50,608
A speech, a speech, ah, Chris?
539
00:27:52,409 --> 00:27:55,682
Yes, Mr. Turner, inspire us.
540
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,526
The past 24 weeks haven't been easy on
541
00:28:01,527 --> 00:28:04,273
any of us, but your hard work and
542
00:28:04,274 --> 00:28:08,287
dedication have paid off. Tomorrow we're
543
00:28:08,388 --> 00:28:11,324
fully operational. One final week of
544
00:28:11,325 --> 00:28:13,331
tests to flush out the gremlins on the
545
00:28:13,332 --> 00:28:16,267
system and then we'll just sit on our
546
00:28:16,268 --> 00:28:19,403
hands and wait for Old Faithful to blow.
547
00:28:19,404 --> 00:28:21,171
Now, I'm not gonna stand here and tell
548
00:28:21,172 --> 00:28:23,788
you that none of us is in any danger and
549
00:28:23,789 --> 00:28:25,325
that everything will be smooth sailing
550
00:28:25,326 --> 00:28:28,681
on the journey because, well, that might
551
00:28:28,882 --> 00:28:32,136
not always be true, but I will say what
552
00:28:32,137 --> 00:28:33,554
we're doing has got to be done.
553
00:28:33,555 --> 00:28:35,832
The potential of what we discover could be
554
00:28:35,833 --> 00:28:37,450
the salvation of our planet Earth;
555
00:28:37,651 --> 00:28:39,657
thermal energy sources, pure air that
556
00:28:39,658 --> 00:28:42,003
could revitalize our atmosphere.
557
00:28:42,004 --> 00:28:43,411
The good doctor here
might even discover a cure
558
00:28:44,012 --> 00:28:47,475
for cancer and who knows what else.
559
00:28:48,376 --> 00:28:51,671
I am so proud to be
part of it and I couldn't
560
00:28:52,072 --> 00:28:53,868
have a better crew if I had hand-picked
561
00:28:53,869 --> 00:28:56,963
every single one of you, which I did.
562
00:29:00,302 --> 00:29:03,186
So here's to us,
and whatever lays before us,
563
00:29:03,187 --> 00:29:06,781
or beneath us, or whatever. We are a team,
564
00:29:06,782 --> 00:29:09,272
a unit, we are...
565
00:29:09,296 --> 00:29:11,785
The Descenders.
566
00:29:11,786 --> 00:29:14,541
Descenders... descenders... descenders...
567
00:29:14,542 --> 00:29:16,809
that's cool.
568
00:29:26,377 --> 00:29:28,753
Captain Turner,
I detect an unsettling development.
569
00:29:28,843 --> 00:29:30,999
Well, forgive me, Devin, we didn't mean to
570
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,126
forget you. You're as
much a part of this ship
571
00:29:33,127 --> 00:29:36,442
or crew has anyone. To Devin.
572
00:29:36,466 --> 00:29:37,694
To Devin...to Devin...to Devin...
573
00:29:37,718 --> 00:29:38,719
I - Captain - I - I
574
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,306
Don't just hang there babe,
575
00:29:41,307 --> 00:29:42,469
say something.
576
00:29:42,693 --> 00:29:44,382
The volcano is about to erupt.
577
00:29:45,392 --> 00:29:46,701
What?
578
00:29:46,725 --> 00:29:47,700
When?
579
00:29:47,724 --> 00:29:48,987
How much time?
580
00:29:49,011 --> 00:29:50,174
According to my
581
00:29:50,175 --> 00:29:51,742
calculations we can make it if we launch
582
00:29:51,743 --> 00:29:53,419
in 30 minutes.
583
00:29:56,818 --> 00:29:57,734
This is no drill.
584
00:29:57,758 --> 00:29:59,393
Everybody, man your stations.
585
00:29:59,394 --> 00:30:01,241
Man your stations, let's go. The count is
586
00:30:01,242 --> 00:30:03,128
back in t-minus ten, the shuttle is going
587
00:30:03,129 --> 00:30:05,345
to full power as soon
as your butt hits the seat.
588
00:30:05,346 --> 00:30:06,843
If anybody's got any
questions ask 'em on the run.
589
00:30:07,044 --> 00:30:10,069
There's all the system checks
needed we can test them almost --
590
00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:11,897
I can't think of a better test,
can you doctor?
591
00:30:11,998 --> 00:30:13,315
Let's go people, put a move on we're a
592
00:30:13,316 --> 00:30:15,290
minute behind already.
593
00:30:15,314 --> 00:30:16,727
Unless you plan on
getting your hands dirty,
594
00:30:16,751 --> 00:30:19,183
Mr. Wentworth,
I suggest you get off my ship.
595
00:30:20,707 --> 00:30:22,661
My ship, Mr. Turner.
596
00:30:23,992 --> 00:30:25,759
My ship.
597
00:30:36,157 --> 00:30:38,583
I love it, God I love it.
598
00:30:39,407 --> 00:30:40,450
Cross your fingers.
599
00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:43,766
Prepare launch sequence, on my mark.
600
00:30:43,767 --> 00:30:45,516
Forward scanners, 5 x 5.
601
00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:46,182
Now.
602
00:30:48,306 --> 00:30:49,906
Launch count initiated.
603
00:30:50,028 --> 00:30:52,004
Clear the flight deck.
604
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,880
Give me heads-up display, eruption status,
605
00:31:02,881 --> 00:31:04,203
and countdown readouts.
606
00:31:04,227 --> 00:31:04,637
We are in
607
00:31:04,638 --> 00:31:07,124
pre-programmed launch sequence, Captain.
608
00:31:07,125 --> 00:31:08,562
Cancel program and transfer
609
00:31:08,563 --> 00:31:09,511
launch control to the helm.
610
00:31:09,512 --> 00:31:10,418
You read me?
611
00:31:10,442 --> 00:31:11,448
Affirmative.
612
00:31:14,775 --> 00:31:16,548
All monitors up and active.
613
00:31:17,072 --> 00:31:19,399
Project full eruption in three minutes
614
00:31:19,423 --> 00:31:22,550
and we are at T minus 2.24 and counting.
615
00:31:22,656 --> 00:31:25,242
Dr. Peterson,
give me fuel and booster status.
616
00:31:25,543 --> 00:31:28,577
Boosters armed and fueling.
617
00:31:39,643 --> 00:31:40,898
Prepare for hydraulic lift.
618
00:31:41,222 --> 00:31:42,370
Preparing for lift.
619
00:31:50,394 --> 00:31:52,194
Activate lift.
620
00:31:52,335 --> 00:31:55,931
We are now at T minus
one three six and counting.
621
00:32:09,243 --> 00:32:12,070
Stand-by to fire main
boosters in four seconds.
622
00:32:12,194 --> 00:32:14,194
Buckle in, everybody,
we're going ballistic.
623
00:32:28,161 --> 00:32:32,345
Now approaching optimum release angle.
624
00:32:39,648 --> 00:32:41,912
Repeat, we are ready for launch, Captain.
625
00:32:42,013 --> 00:32:42,541
Captain.
626
00:32:42,942 --> 00:32:43,799
Captain
627
00:33:01,447 --> 00:33:05,202
Escape velocity now three
kilometers per second and rising.
628
00:33:36,344 --> 00:33:38,344
Minus ten kilometers.
629
00:33:40,180 --> 00:33:41,966
20 kilometers
630
00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:44,990
40 kilometers
631
00:33:46,314 --> 00:33:48,014
80 kilometers
632
00:33:48,738 --> 00:33:50,438
150 kilometers
633
00:33:52,462 --> 00:33:54,462
220 kilometers
634
00:33:56,786 --> 00:33:59,986
325 kilometers and descending
635
00:34:18,103 --> 00:34:20,249
Activate side thrusters!
636
00:34:21,607 --> 00:34:24,051
Negative, they're not responding!
637
00:34:24,075 --> 00:34:26,075
Hit the backup gyros, now!
638
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:29,099
Coming in too fast!
639
00:34:29,252 --> 00:34:31,248
Get her nose up.
640
00:34:32,114 --> 00:34:33,620
Hang on!
641
00:34:33,694 --> 00:34:35,738
We're gonna hit. We're gonna hit.
642
00:35:23,124 --> 00:35:25,299
You all right?
643
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,005
Sound off, anybody injured?
644
00:35:27,029 --> 00:35:28,636
- I think I'm okay.
- I'm okay.
645
00:35:28,637 --> 00:35:30,612
Talk about a new ticket.
646
00:35:34,858 --> 00:35:36,954
How bad?
647
00:35:36,955 --> 00:35:39,790
Can't tell. What does Devin say?
648
00:35:49,329 --> 00:35:52,136
Devin
649
00:35:54,812 --> 00:35:57,877
I detect seven carbon-based life-forms,
650
00:35:57,878 --> 00:36:00,243
I presume the crew is intact.
651
00:36:00,364 --> 00:36:04,318
Yes, everyone survived.
Get these alarms off and then
652
00:36:05,019 --> 00:36:06,875
I'll need a complete damage report.
653
00:36:06,876 --> 00:36:09,212
All major systems appear to be functional.
654
00:36:09,213 --> 00:36:11,729
The sonic bore unit is impacted but
655
00:36:11,730 --> 00:36:14,925
repairable, surface communication is out.
656
00:36:14,926 --> 00:36:17,981
I'll need time for further determination.
657
00:36:17,982 --> 00:36:20,538
Have you run self-diagnostics.
658
00:36:20,539 --> 00:36:23,362
I'm battered but not broken.
659
00:36:24,363 --> 00:36:26,200
I'm gonna shut you down to sleep level for
660
00:36:26,201 --> 00:36:27,373
a while until I can factor out
661
00:36:27,397 --> 00:36:28,568
your potential for error rate.
662
00:36:28,631 --> 00:36:29,885
Maybe you're right.
663
00:36:29,886 --> 00:36:31,194
A little rest might be just what the
664
00:36:31,195 --> 00:36:33,821
doctor ordered.
665
00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:49,060
Devin?
666
00:36:49,084 --> 00:36:51,208
I shut her down but her data
667
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:52,301
systems are available.
668
00:36:52,325 --> 00:36:53,065
Can you rely on
669
00:36:53,066 --> 00:36:54,553
her to run an atmospheric analysis?
670
00:36:54,554 --> 00:36:55,393
We gotta check the hull.
671
00:36:55,417 --> 00:36:56,499
Chris, Margo,
672
00:36:57,500 --> 00:37:00,256
I'm afraid some of the food is, well, it's
673
00:37:00,257 --> 00:37:02,593
blended itself... it's ruined.
674
00:37:02,594 --> 00:37:04,960
You're breaking my heart.
675
00:37:04,984 --> 00:37:08,498
I should really gather some specimens.
676
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:10,422
Captain, if you don't mind me asking,
677
00:37:10,446 --> 00:37:11,454
what do we do now?
678
00:37:11,522 --> 00:37:13,548
Well, we compile a detailed damage report
679
00:37:13,549 --> 00:37:14,717
and effect whatever repairs are necessary
680
00:37:14,818 --> 00:37:16,575
for the continuing of the mission.
681
00:37:16,576 --> 00:37:20,170
Continue the mission? Are you all blind?
682
00:37:20,171 --> 00:37:22,232
Mission over, we're finished...
683
00:37:22,256 --> 00:37:22,594
Briggs.
684
00:37:22,618 --> 00:37:23,206
No, I say we...
685
00:37:23,207 --> 00:37:23,606
Briggs!
686
00:37:23,607 --> 00:37:24,479
...call the surface and...
687
00:37:24,503 --> 00:37:25,252
At ease.
688
00:37:26,253 --> 00:37:28,949
Hey, relax, all right?
689
00:37:29,150 --> 00:37:31,806
According to Devin,
the atmosphere is breathable.
690
00:37:31,907 --> 00:37:34,162
What if she's wrong?
691
00:37:34,763 --> 00:37:38,456
That's the hatch.
Give me an outside camera.
692
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:45,667
Sorry for the alarm. You must come and
693
00:37:45,668 --> 00:37:48,813
see this Chris. Talk about breaking
694
00:37:48,814 --> 00:37:50,520
through to another world.
695
00:38:27,622 --> 00:38:30,657
Invaders from the overworld
696
00:38:30,658 --> 00:38:36,551
with the book,
they have a piece of the book.
697
00:38:36,552 --> 00:38:40,695
Impossible, the book belongs only to the
698
00:38:40,696 --> 00:38:45,928
center realm. If what you say is true,
699
00:38:46,329 --> 00:38:48,575
then bring it to me now.
700
00:38:53,976 --> 00:38:58,497
Just one more piece, added to my own,
701
00:38:59,321 --> 00:39:04,604
and I will be free from this living death!
702
00:39:33,847 --> 00:39:36,413
Hey, just look over here.
703
00:39:36,414 --> 00:39:38,391
Briggs, take point.
704
00:39:38,515 --> 00:39:40,249
LaStrella, watch our backs.
705
00:39:52,133 --> 00:39:55,398
Behold, the inner world.
706
00:39:57,546 --> 00:39:59,891
How can there be light?
707
00:39:59,892 --> 00:40:03,128
Actually, a self-suspended subterranean
708
00:40:03,152 --> 00:40:07,457
bioluminescent mineral source,
to be precise.
709
00:40:07,916 --> 00:40:10,690
Living Rock?
710
00:40:10,714 --> 00:40:12,389
And maybe more than just rock.
711
00:40:12,413 --> 00:40:14,038
Look at that lake,
712
00:40:14,062 --> 00:40:16,087
where there's water there's life, right?
713
00:40:16,111 --> 00:40:19,111
And who knows what
forms of it we might find here.
714
00:40:19,234 --> 00:40:21,047
I'd kind of like to start by being grateful
715
00:40:21,071 --> 00:40:23,379
that we're still alive. all right?
716
00:40:39,841 --> 00:40:43,315
A stunning sight, if ever I saw one.
717
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:45,083
Agreed, but we won't be able to explore it
718
00:40:45,384 --> 00:40:48,100
unless we get started on some repairs.
719
00:40:48,501 --> 00:40:50,236
Turner, the ship.
720
00:41:02,232 --> 00:41:05,227
Well, the design worked,
no major structural breach.
721
00:41:06,528 --> 00:41:09,783
Sure hope somebody
popped for the insurance.
722
00:41:36,618 --> 00:41:38,165
What the hell was that?
723
00:42:03,124 --> 00:42:04,320
Chris?
724
00:42:33,174 --> 00:42:36,072
I hope you're satisfied, both of you.
725
00:42:37,496 --> 00:42:39,496
What the hell happened here?
726
00:42:50,749 --> 00:42:52,235
Did I miss something?
727
00:42:52,259 --> 00:42:53,545
Oh, just Briggs here,
728
00:42:53,546 --> 00:42:55,492
shooting up our main control link and a
729
00:42:55,493 --> 00:42:57,559
few other miscellaneous but vital relays.
730
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,642
I was shooting at someone, something.
731
00:43:02,043 --> 00:43:03,037
It was in the crew quarters.
732
00:43:03,061 --> 00:43:04,041
Doing what?
733
00:43:04,042 --> 00:43:06,857
I don't know what. Maybe we should check
734
00:43:07,058 --> 00:43:09,491
our gear, see if anything's missing.
735
00:43:10,292 --> 00:43:13,517
Now wait, wait a minute, wait!
Let's get this
736
00:43:13,518 --> 00:43:15,346
squared away. Did anybody see anything?
737
00:43:15,347 --> 00:43:18,483
Just what or who were we supposed to see,
Briggs?
738
00:43:18,584 --> 00:43:19,821
We're the only ones down here.
739
00:43:19,822 --> 00:43:22,336
Yeah, well then who blindsided me over the
740
00:43:22,337 --> 00:43:24,643
back of the head, huh,
how do you explain this?
741
00:43:25,344 --> 00:43:27,300
Oh,
come on man that's nothing look at this.
742
00:43:27,301 --> 00:43:28,221
I got one, too.
743
00:43:28,245 --> 00:43:29,187
Yeah, check this out.
744
00:43:29,488 --> 00:43:33,443
All right, all right, let's go.
We got work to do.
745
00:43:33,535 --> 00:43:34,900
I trust it's repairable.
746
00:43:34,924 --> 00:43:36,046
I think we can crawl,
747
00:43:36,070 --> 00:43:38,142
the flying might take a little doing.
748
00:43:38,166 --> 00:43:41,660
LaStrella, Sandy, Briggs, you're with me.
749
00:43:41,984 --> 00:43:45,539
I want to set "Homer".
750
00:44:18,485 --> 00:44:21,050
You're trying to go somewhere.
751
00:44:43,283 --> 00:44:46,917
You bring me words about strem spirits
752
00:44:46,918 --> 00:44:48,595
in this ship of theirs,
753
00:44:48,619 --> 00:44:50,956
but you were sent for the book.
754
00:44:53,857 --> 00:44:56,472
Do not anger me with your excuses.
755
00:44:57,773 --> 00:45:01,503
It is clear you must have help.
756
00:45:01,527 --> 00:45:03,447
Go into the Maze
757
00:45:03,448 --> 00:45:06,552
and find Katheoc of the Crogs
758
00:45:06,553 --> 00:45:08,121
and bring him to me.
759
00:45:08,645 --> 00:45:11,398
That much I know you can do.
760
00:45:15,941 --> 00:45:17,816
Briggs, be cool, okay?
761
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,115
Now listen up everybody.
762
00:45:20,116 --> 00:45:21,202
Try and stay in sight of the ship.
763
00:45:21,203 --> 00:45:22,969
We're gonna rendezvous here in 30 minutes.
764
00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:23,998
Then what?
765
00:45:24,022 --> 00:45:25,356
Then we eat.
766
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,714
Maybe I should keep an eye on her.
767
00:45:27,785 --> 00:45:31,371
Not to worry, I'll go with her.
768
00:45:38,571 --> 00:45:41,707
Here, this way.
769
00:45:50,987 --> 00:45:53,804
Oh, isn't this amazing?
770
00:45:53,928 --> 00:45:55,487
Yes, indeed.
771
00:45:59,264 --> 00:46:00,490
Secure.
772
00:46:01,214 --> 00:46:02,590
Activated, Cap.
773
00:46:03,214 --> 00:46:05,216
Alright, Homer's in place.
774
00:46:05,317 --> 00:46:07,442
In case we want to get back.
775
00:46:07,443 --> 00:46:09,319
Say the word, I'm ready.
776
00:46:41,015 --> 00:46:41,715
What was that?
777
00:46:41,740 --> 00:46:42,766
It came out of that cave.
778
00:46:42,790 --> 00:46:44,214
Chalmers and Tesue are in there.
779
00:46:44,238 --> 00:46:45,205
Come on.
780
00:46:50,219 --> 00:46:51,495
Just when I was starting to think Briggs
781
00:46:51,496 --> 00:46:54,580
might be seeing things, but it hadn't
782
00:46:54,581 --> 00:46:57,269
made an aggressive move since we found it.
783
00:46:57,270 --> 00:46:59,654
With all due respect, Captain, are you
784
00:46:59,655 --> 00:47:02,101
out of your mind? First, this thing breaks
785
00:47:02,102 --> 00:47:03,360
into the ship, then it knocks out Chalmers.
786
00:47:03,961 --> 00:47:05,127
Actually, it was my fault.
787
00:47:05,128 --> 00:47:06,965
It's bigger than any
two of us and you bring
788
00:47:06,966 --> 00:47:07,556
it onboard ship.
789
00:47:07,580 --> 00:47:08,983
You're out of order, Briggs.
790
00:47:09,084 --> 00:47:10,910
The creature's obviously harmless.
791
00:47:10,911 --> 00:47:12,813
Now stow the weapon and sit down.
792
00:47:19,721 --> 00:47:20,978
You understand what he's saying?
793
00:47:20,979 --> 00:47:24,660
No, but it sounds similar to a Tibetan
794
00:47:24,684 --> 00:47:26,965
dialect found in the high Himalayas.
795
00:47:26,988 --> 00:47:29,175
I can't believe this.
796
00:47:29,807 --> 00:47:32,241
We found the abominable snowman.
797
00:47:32,242 --> 00:47:33,679
You mean, like a Bigfoot?
798
00:47:33,703 --> 00:47:34,967
Please, some respect.
799
00:47:35,468 --> 00:47:36,906
We're standing in the presence of a
800
00:47:36,907 --> 00:47:39,603
life-form believed to be extinct,
or even non-existent.
801
00:47:40,604 --> 00:47:42,808
If only we could talk to it.
802
00:47:43,709 --> 00:47:44,958
Try this.
803
00:47:46,982 --> 00:47:48,031
A Walkman?
804
00:47:48,132 --> 00:47:50,917
An AIT, aural impulse transducer.
805
00:47:51,318 --> 00:47:53,604
It scans the incoming sounds for patterns
806
00:47:53,628 --> 00:47:56,014
of intelligent communication and translates
807
00:47:56,112 --> 00:47:58,300
them into something
maybe we can understand.
808
00:47:58,301 --> 00:47:59,832
I didn't get a chance to test it before
809
00:47:59,856 --> 00:48:02,287
we left so don't expect any miracles.
810
00:48:03,811 --> 00:48:05,711
Who are you?
811
00:48:05,735 --> 00:48:06,735
It works.
812
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:08,155
How did you get here?
813
00:48:09,656 --> 00:48:13,181
Keep talking, it adjusts for pitch.
814
00:48:13,441 --> 00:48:15,926
How did you get here?
815
00:48:15,950 --> 00:48:16,984
We came here
816
00:48:16,985 --> 00:48:21,958
through a volcano, in this ship, to
817
00:48:21,959 --> 00:48:24,405
explore beneath the surface of the Earth.
818
00:48:24,906 --> 00:48:26,651
Are there more like you?
819
00:48:26,675 --> 00:48:30,276
I am a Fabrice,
that lives within this planet.
820
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:32,880
Where do you live, where are your people?
821
00:48:32,885 --> 00:48:36,078
I live here, in the Maze.
822
00:48:36,102 --> 00:48:36,378
The Maze?
823
00:48:37,279 --> 00:48:40,344
I think he's referring to
the puzzle of the deep.
824
00:48:40,345 --> 00:48:42,591
According to ancient mystics,
825
00:48:42,592 --> 00:48:45,267
a portion of the inner world is a tangled
826
00:48:45,268 --> 00:48:47,524
web of passages that constantly shift
827
00:48:47,625 --> 00:48:48,863
and change direction.
828
00:48:48,864 --> 00:48:50,661
Please, Mr. Chalmers, this is no time for
829
00:48:50,662 --> 00:48:52,376
hocus pocus theories.
830
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,916
Oh, really.
831
00:48:54,940 --> 00:48:56,715
But it is not by chance that
832
00:48:56,739 --> 00:48:58,514
I dwell alone in the Maze.
833
00:49:00,061 --> 00:49:02,874
I must tell you of my crime.
834
00:49:03,098 --> 00:49:04,494
I knew it.
835
00:49:05,895 --> 00:49:08,696
And we see him attack me on the ship.
836
00:49:08,997 --> 00:49:10,149
What were you trying to steal?
837
00:49:10,173 --> 00:49:10,717
Briggs...
838
00:49:11,441 --> 00:49:12,232
Enough.
839
00:49:12,832 --> 00:49:13,939
Sit down.
840
00:49:22,821 --> 00:49:25,495
My people are a gentle race.
841
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,393
We live by two commandments.
842
00:49:28,893 --> 00:49:32,616
First one is - no harm.
843
00:49:33,317 --> 00:49:37,968
We cannot hurt any living thing,
844
00:49:37,969 --> 00:49:41,912
but we also live at the hand of fate.
845
00:49:42,113 --> 00:49:44,150
It is forbidden to
846
00:49:44,174 --> 00:49:47,577
interfere with it in any way.
847
00:49:49,301 --> 00:49:52,636
Even saving a life is taboo.
848
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,202
A girl was playing at
849
00:49:59,226 --> 00:50:01,327
the bottom of a rocky slope.
850
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,614
The stones gave way.
851
00:50:03,638 --> 00:50:07,492
I grabbed her, saving her life.
852
00:50:07,542 --> 00:50:09,492
It just happened.
853
00:50:09,616 --> 00:50:11,966
I saw the boulder.
854
00:50:12,266 --> 00:50:14,507
I grabbed the girl.
855
00:50:15,031 --> 00:50:18,628
I don't know what came over me.
856
00:50:19,247 --> 00:50:24,679
It is for this,
that I was banished to the Maze.
857
00:50:31,041 --> 00:50:33,214
I shame you with my presence.
858
00:50:33,743 --> 00:50:34,592
No.
859
00:50:36,916 --> 00:50:39,487
On the surface we consider the saving of
860
00:50:40,188 --> 00:50:44,142
a life to be a sacred act. Your deed was
861
00:50:44,143 --> 00:50:46,760
one of profound courage.
862
00:50:46,761 --> 00:50:47,883
You are jesting.
863
00:50:48,284 --> 00:50:49,967
No, it's true.
864
00:51:01,592 --> 00:51:06,923
There are strangers among us now, come in a
865
00:51:06,924 --> 00:51:09,650
great ship from the overworld to destroy
866
00:51:09,651 --> 00:51:16,541
you all but do as I command and your people
867
00:51:16,942 --> 00:51:20,276
will live. Soon I will cause this
868
00:51:20,277 --> 00:51:24,101
great ship of theirs to become lost,
Katheoc,
869
00:51:24,302 --> 00:51:29,845
and then you and your
warriors will find them.
870
00:51:29,864 --> 00:51:31,750
Before we theorize on a future, perhaps
871
00:51:31,751 --> 00:51:33,288
we should make decisions about the
872
00:51:33,289 --> 00:51:35,205
immediate, such as what to do with your
873
00:51:35,206 --> 00:51:36,384
friend here.
874
00:51:37,008 --> 00:51:38,482
You know my vote
875
00:51:38,483 --> 00:51:40,628
I say we video it, take some blood and
876
00:51:40,629 --> 00:51:42,296
tissue samples, and put it back.
877
00:51:42,297 --> 00:51:44,544
I think he'd make an
invaluable addition to the crew.
878
00:51:44,545 --> 00:51:45,692
I agree.
879
00:51:45,816 --> 00:51:47,880
We can't take on everything
880
00:51:47,881 --> 00:51:49,946
we find down here, this isn't Noah's Ark.
881
00:51:50,447 --> 00:51:52,883
She's right. We know nothing about this
882
00:51:52,884 --> 00:51:54,630
thing, that could be a man-eater.
883
00:51:54,731 --> 00:51:57,655
My people are vegetarian.
884
00:51:57,756 --> 00:51:59,756
It's even worse, it's a liberal.
885
00:52:00,180 --> 00:52:01,740
Would you like to join us,
886
00:52:02,541 --> 00:52:05,178
become part of our team?
887
00:52:05,802 --> 00:52:07,646
Oo, yes.
888
00:52:10,470 --> 00:52:11,539
Now that that's settled,
889
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:13,936
what did they call you at home, big guy?
890
00:52:13,937 --> 00:52:15,281
mm-hmm
891
00:52:17,205 --> 00:52:18,813
What is your name?
892
00:52:18,837 --> 00:52:19,960
How do others recognize you?
893
00:52:20,261 --> 00:52:21,913
Ah, my sounds.
894
00:52:22,337 --> 00:52:26,129
We are each given one at birth.
895
00:52:26,153 --> 00:52:28,153
Mine is ------
896
00:52:33,354 --> 00:52:33,754
Pinto...
897
00:52:33,830 --> 00:52:35,043
Oh, Bob's good.
898
00:52:35,067 --> 00:52:37,424
Bubba, Ed, Jack, Bob, anything.
899
00:52:37,625 --> 00:52:38,730
How is Rocky?
900
00:52:38,754 --> 00:52:39,419
George?
901
00:52:39,443 --> 00:52:42,169
Chalmers, you found him, you name him.
902
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,196
Well, there is a name I
903
00:52:44,197 --> 00:52:45,934
always wished my parents had called me.
904
00:52:46,235 --> 00:52:48,271
Yeah,
with a name like Cecil I'm not surprised.
905
00:52:49,211 --> 00:52:50,656
What is it Chalmers?
906
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,325
Daedalus... Daedalus is
907
00:52:54,025 --> 00:52:56,799
the Greek god of labyrinths and mazes,
908
00:52:57,100 --> 00:52:59,260
father of Icarus.
909
00:52:59,484 --> 00:53:02,283
Everybody, say hello to Daedalus.
910
00:53:03,184 --> 00:53:04,629
Yea, that really rolls off the
911
00:53:04,630 --> 00:53:09,264
tongue, doesn't it? Daedalus, Dedal, Datal,
912
00:53:09,565 --> 00:53:13,759
Dallas...Dallas!
Yeah, that's close enough for me.
913
00:53:14,284 --> 00:53:15,268
Dallas,
914
00:53:17,892 --> 00:53:19,368
welcome to the crew.
915
00:53:20,992 --> 00:53:21,768
All right, let's run
916
00:53:21,769 --> 00:53:23,525
your checks people, we're goin' mobile.
917
00:53:23,726 --> 00:53:26,602
Tony, we're gonna wanna
track to clear this debris.
918
00:53:26,603 --> 00:53:28,600
Kick her around,
hundred eighty, hard right.
919
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,185
Aye aye, Captain.
920
00:53:31,509 --> 00:53:33,543
Briggs, initiate forward scanner.
921
00:53:34,344 --> 00:53:36,219
Margo, set Devin to standby and
922
00:53:36,220 --> 00:53:37,896
activate holograph navigation scanners.
923
00:53:38,197 --> 00:53:40,703
Setting Devin to standby and HG
924
00:53:40,704 --> 00:53:42,413
navigation activated.
925
00:53:42,437 --> 00:53:43,718
Okay, let's truck her
926
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:44,691
out of here, LaStrella.
927
00:53:44,715 --> 00:53:46,376
Tread circles on and rolling.
928
00:53:46,477 --> 00:53:48,433
Devin, prepare to fire main engines
929
00:53:48,434 --> 00:53:50,529
in maximum lift mode.
930
00:53:50,530 --> 00:53:53,756
Firing sequence engaged
and active controls enabled.
931
00:53:57,812 --> 00:54:01,457
Three seconds...activate
side thrusters at full.
932
00:54:01,958 --> 00:54:02,834
Side thrusters on.
933
00:54:02,858 --> 00:54:03,958
Devin?
934
00:54:03,982 --> 00:54:05,882
We have liftoff, Captain.
935
00:54:20,433 --> 00:54:21,908
Steady as she goes, Tony.
936
00:54:22,432 --> 00:54:25,276
All right, Margo,
find us a course out of here.
937
00:54:26,877 --> 00:54:28,024
Looks like there's an opening to
938
00:54:28,048 --> 00:54:30,186
another cavern, bearing two two seven.
939
00:54:30,310 --> 00:54:31,872
Two two seven, I got it.
940
00:54:32,507 --> 00:54:33,843
Scanner systems clear,
941
00:54:33,867 --> 00:54:35,631
could be a mile, maybe more.
942
00:54:40,377 --> 00:54:44,300
Been a rough start, for all of us, but my
943
00:54:44,301 --> 00:54:46,157
uncle had been right, there was an inner
944
00:54:46,158 --> 00:54:48,584
world, and even at a crawl I was
945
00:54:48,785 --> 00:54:50,643
determined to give it our best shot.
946
00:54:51,444 --> 00:54:53,768
I knew Briggs was against keeping Dallas,
947
00:54:53,769 --> 00:54:56,244
but for all our high-tech toys, the truth
948
00:54:56,245 --> 00:54:59,061
was, we were flying blind, and if Dallas
949
00:54:59,062 --> 00:55:01,119
could help us get through this maze, then
950
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,624
it was worth the risk, but then who or
951
00:55:03,625 --> 00:55:05,392
what really did attack Briggs back there
952
00:55:05,593 --> 00:55:08,549
and why?
953
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:18,386
Scanner show's us clear for that passage
954
00:55:18,387 --> 00:55:21,432
high and to - wait, check that.
955
00:55:23,421 --> 00:55:24,613
What the...
956
00:55:25,037 --> 00:55:26,186
That's impossible.
957
00:55:26,187 --> 00:55:27,808
It's sealing itself off.
958
00:55:27,832 --> 00:55:28,903
And damn fast, too.-
959
00:55:29,204 --> 00:55:30,517
If the sonic bore was operational
960
00:55:30,541 --> 00:55:31,689
we could blast our way out.
961
00:55:31,790 --> 00:55:33,637
Full reverse, we're out of here.
962
00:55:33,638 --> 00:55:35,356
Reversing engines now.
963
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:36,383
Devin, you got some
964
00:55:36,384 --> 00:55:38,031
way to analyze this, just feel free to
965
00:55:38,132 --> 00:55:39,178
jump in anytime here.
966
00:55:39,179 --> 00:55:41,806
Processing now, Captain.
967
00:55:43,086 --> 00:55:45,291
Wait, Chris, kill that reverse, man, and
968
00:55:45,292 --> 00:55:46,963
check your aft monitors!
969
00:55:46,987 --> 00:55:48,367
Look, it's closing off!
970
00:55:48,368 --> 00:55:49,022
Devin?
971
00:55:49,046 --> 00:55:51,333
Hull sensors indicate the passageway
972
00:55:51,334 --> 00:55:53,131
is now constricting on all sides.
973
00:55:53,132 --> 00:55:54,657
Did she say we're going to be crushed?
974
00:55:54,658 --> 00:55:57,044
Extend hull stabilizers, now!
975
00:55:58,568 --> 00:56:00,868
Stabilizers extending, maximum reach.
976
00:56:01,192 --> 00:56:03,386
Shuttle power from main
engines to stabilizers.
977
00:56:03,410 --> 00:56:04,600
And cut off side thrusters.
978
00:56:09,910 --> 00:56:10,792
Do it, LaStrella.
979
00:56:10,816 --> 00:56:11,691
Briggs, buckle in.
980
00:56:11,716 --> 00:56:12,806
Everybody brace yourselves.
981
00:56:13,030 --> 00:56:15,530
Devin, give me a hull pressure readout.
982
00:56:15,923 --> 00:56:19,157
Hull pressure now at
12,000 pounds and rising.
983
00:56:27,594 --> 00:56:30,394
Pressure now at 18,000 and still rising.
984
00:56:30,418 --> 00:56:31,621
Margo, what's our maximum.
985
00:56:32,022 --> 00:56:34,118
That was the maximum.
986
00:56:34,119 --> 00:56:35,425
We're not gonna make it.
987
00:56:35,449 --> 00:56:37,943
Anticipate hull collapse in 30 seconds.
988
00:56:38,144 --> 00:56:41,010
29...28
989
00:56:43,324 --> 00:56:45,924
Devin, drop ballast and
increase internal air pressure.
990
00:56:45,982 --> 00:56:48,744
Negative, Captain, circuits not responding.
991
00:56:58,896 --> 00:57:00,931
It will end soon.
992
00:57:00,955 --> 00:57:02,031
We're going to die?
993
00:57:02,032 --> 00:57:03,809
He's saying we're going to die.
994
00:57:03,833 --> 00:57:07,276
No, the way, the way of the Maze.
995
00:57:08,100 --> 00:57:10,277
Path close, path open.
996
00:57:16,312 --> 00:57:17,878
What the hell's he talking about?
997
00:57:19,702 --> 00:57:20,502
That!
998
00:57:20,516 --> 00:57:22,469
Transfer full power back to main engines
999
00:57:22,493 --> 00:57:24,037
and prepare to release the stabilizers,
1000
00:57:24,060 --> 00:57:24,933
on my mark.
1001
00:57:25,857 --> 00:57:26,941
Thrusters, LaStrella.
1002
00:57:26,966 --> 00:57:28,014
That's where we supposed to stop.
1003
00:57:28,438 --> 00:57:29,354
We don't know if we can
1004
00:57:29,355 --> 00:57:30,220
clear that, Turner.
1005
00:57:30,244 --> 00:57:31,309
We can't stay here.
1006
00:57:31,333 --> 00:57:32,333
Mark.
1007
00:57:34,557 --> 00:57:36,257
Releasing stabilizers!
1008
00:57:38,464 --> 00:57:39,840
Now, ahead full for 30 meters,
1009
00:57:39,864 --> 00:57:42,315
then 90 degrees hard to port,
when I holler.
1010
00:57:42,339 --> 00:57:43,276
Got it.
1011
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,337
Come on.
1012
00:57:46,983 --> 00:57:48,436
Turn it, LaStrella.
1013
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:49,938
Hard to port, 90 degrees.
1014
00:57:49,939 --> 00:57:50,756
Briggs?
1015
00:57:50,757 --> 00:57:52,494
Nobody's expanding but
I can't tell you if we'll fit.
1016
00:57:52,795 --> 00:57:53,409
Devin?
1017
00:57:53,433 --> 00:57:54,391
Pressure now at
1018
00:57:54,392 --> 00:57:57,617
19,000, Captain, but if kept at full power
1019
00:57:57,618 --> 00:57:59,724
the engine vibrations will cause a hull
1020
00:57:59,725 --> 00:58:04,518
rupture in nine seconds-eight-seven-six-
1021
00:58:04,619 --> 00:58:06,525
Make a braking turn to starboard and cut
1022
00:58:06,526 --> 00:58:07,832
engines to one-third.
1023
00:58:07,856 --> 00:58:09,456
Turning to starboard.
1024
00:58:11,770 --> 00:58:13,756
Hull rupture in four seconds.
1025
00:58:13,780 --> 00:58:15,134
Cut the power, LaStrella.
1026
00:58:15,135 --> 00:58:17,372
I can't, switch is stuck on full.
1027
00:58:17,373 --> 00:58:19,060
Rupture in three seconds.
1028
00:58:19,084 --> 00:58:21,206
Devin, reverse engines, now.
1029
00:58:21,207 --> 00:58:21,947
But, Captain...
1030
00:58:21,971 --> 00:58:22,513
Just do it!
1031
00:58:22,937 --> 00:58:23,882
Reversing engines.
1032
00:58:24,582 --> 00:58:26,278
Negative, blow back failsafe
1033
00:58:26,302 --> 00:58:27,728
triggered full engine shut down.
1034
00:58:27,752 --> 00:58:28,028
Yes!
1035
00:58:28,029 --> 00:58:28,828
And the hull?
1036
00:58:28,829 --> 00:58:30,164
Vibrations falling
1037
00:58:30,165 --> 00:58:32,266
back within normal tolerances.
1038
00:58:32,284 --> 00:58:33,524
No rupture.
1039
00:58:35,348 --> 00:58:36,548
Way to go, way to go guys.
1040
00:58:36,726 --> 00:58:39,492
Devin, restart engines, power to one third.
1041
00:58:39,493 --> 00:58:41,240
And when Briggs says it's clear, prepare to
1042
00:58:41,241 --> 00:58:42,239
take the helm.
1043
00:58:42,263 --> 00:58:45,016
Oh, and thanks for listening.
1044
00:58:45,117 --> 00:58:46,989
Any time, Captain.
1045
00:58:49,613 --> 00:58:52,844
Now that they fear the Maze, the ship will
1046
00:58:52,845 --> 00:58:55,451
keep to the great Canyon, even as it
1047
00:58:55,452 --> 00:58:57,274
brings them closer.
1048
00:58:57,298 --> 00:58:59,796
Go, and silence the voice
1049
00:58:59,977 --> 00:59:03,422
enough to call them back, before I give
1050
00:59:03,423 --> 00:59:05,766
them to the Crog.
1051
00:59:07,790 --> 00:59:08,964
Scanner shows we got a
1052
00:59:08,965 --> 00:59:10,851
clear channel for as far as it can see,
Captain.
1053
00:59:11,052 --> 00:59:12,210
All right then, I want you all to
1054
00:59:12,211 --> 00:59:13,738
grab some rest while we got the chance.
1055
00:59:13,939 --> 00:59:15,704
I'll keep watch up here.
1056
00:59:17,934 --> 00:59:19,680
I was hoping without the crew around,
1057
00:59:19,681 --> 00:59:21,048
I could think through what had happened.
1058
00:59:21,449 --> 00:59:23,536
One instant this world seemed to want us
1059
00:59:23,537 --> 00:59:25,113
by the throat, and the next it was as
1060
00:59:25,114 --> 00:59:28,289
gentle and amazing as Dallas, but was it
1061
00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:30,067
really this world or was there something
1062
00:59:30,068 --> 00:59:32,813
else I just couldn't see yet?
1063
00:59:33,414 --> 00:59:35,528
It's beautiful, isn't.
1064
00:59:36,829 --> 00:59:38,485
Yes, quite.
1065
00:59:39,525 --> 00:59:41,477
Uh, what's your heading?
1066
00:59:41,701 --> 00:59:43,880
What's your hurry, enjoy the...
1067
00:59:43,881 --> 00:59:46,236
Mr. Turner, do I have to remind you
1068
00:59:46,237 --> 00:59:47,794
that at this moment we have lost all
1069
00:59:47,795 --> 00:59:50,029
relays with our base above.
1070
00:59:50,253 --> 00:59:50,790
She had a
1071
00:59:50,791 --> 00:59:52,957
lousy way of saying it, but I guess that
1072
00:59:52,958 --> 00:59:55,514
meant Margo was scared of something, too.
1073
01:00:12,473 --> 01:00:15,798
What, what did I do? Did I say anything?
1074
01:00:33,507 --> 01:00:35,649
What the...?
1075
01:00:36,173 --> 01:00:37,179
No.
1076
01:00:41,315 --> 01:00:43,511
I've lost Homer.
1077
01:00:46,109 --> 01:00:47,203
So have I.
1078
01:00:47,427 --> 01:00:49,060
We'd better go back.
1079
01:00:49,084 --> 01:00:49,732
And miss a
1080
01:00:49,733 --> 01:00:51,112
chance to maybe find out who's been
1081
01:00:51,113 --> 01:00:52,623
after us since we landed?
1082
01:00:52,647 --> 01:00:53,419
After us?
1083
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,092
Turner, you don't think...?
1084
01:00:55,116 --> 01:00:55,725
I don't think
1085
01:00:55,726 --> 01:00:57,432
it's safe to assume our problems are
1086
01:00:57,433 --> 01:00:59,710
just happening at random, Doctor.
1087
01:00:59,711 --> 01:01:01,697
Look, just keep us on this course for now
1088
01:01:01,698 --> 01:01:03,585
and tell the crew break time is over.
1089
01:01:03,586 --> 01:01:06,572
I want everyone back up on the bridge.
1090
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:14,200
Yes, the invaders draw close. I can feel
1091
01:01:14,201 --> 01:01:17,557
the presence of the book within their ship.
1092
01:01:17,558 --> 01:01:21,482
Now, that it is time for their journey to
1093
01:01:21,483 --> 01:01:26,744
end in the fires of the Crog!
1094
01:01:27,245 --> 01:01:30,000
Continue bearing on course 195 for...
No, wait!
1095
01:01:31,701 --> 01:01:32,457
Full stop.
1096
01:01:32,781 --> 01:01:33,437
Full stop!
1097
01:01:33,461 --> 01:01:34,661
I see it ... I see it!
1098
01:01:36,074 --> 01:01:37,901
Reverse forward thrusters, LaStrella.
1099
01:01:37,902 --> 01:01:39,597
Let's try and put down on that shelf we
1100
01:01:39,598 --> 01:01:40,827
just passed before this cavern
1101
01:01:40,828 --> 01:01:41,758
shifts anymore.
1102
01:01:41,782 --> 01:01:43,402
Roger, Captain, reversing
1103
01:01:43,403 --> 01:01:46,271
and preparing to land.
1104
01:01:47,549 --> 01:01:51,471
Ah, full stop. Ease her are down.
1105
01:01:51,472 --> 01:01:52,942
Landing sequence engaged.
1106
01:01:53,166 --> 01:01:54,398
Reducing main engines
1107
01:01:54,599 --> 01:01:56,715
to 1/8 and beginning descent at
1108
01:01:56,716 --> 01:01:58,502
15 meters per second.
1109
01:01:58,903 --> 01:02:01,220
Switching forward scanners to ground view.
1110
01:02:01,621 --> 01:02:07,173
Touchdown in 4 seconds -3 -2 -1
1111
01:02:07,174 --> 01:02:09,070
We have touchdown.
1112
01:02:11,358 --> 01:02:13,195
Margo, as soon as were secured I want
1113
01:02:13,196 --> 01:02:14,932
the sonic bore back in operation.
1114
01:02:14,933 --> 01:02:16,098
These walls get pushy,
1115
01:02:16,122 --> 01:02:17,798
I'd like to know we can push back.
1116
01:02:17,822 --> 01:02:18,864
The rest of you come out with me.
1117
01:02:18,888 --> 01:02:21,040
I want to check our antenna to Homer.
1118
01:02:27,417 --> 01:02:30,122
Let's hope it's only the antenna.
1119
01:02:30,123 --> 01:02:31,609
Sandy, LaStrella, check it out
1120
01:02:32,510 --> 01:02:35,166
Briggs, keep an eye out.
1121
01:02:35,190 --> 01:02:37,446
Briggs, be cool, alright?
1122
01:02:41,847 --> 01:02:44,091
If I could offer my assistance?
1123
01:02:44,115 --> 01:02:45,726
It's not needed.
1124
01:02:46,450 --> 01:02:47,760
Oh, really?
1125
01:02:47,761 --> 01:02:49,722
What possible help could you
1126
01:02:49,746 --> 01:02:51,426
be to me, Mr. Chalmers?
1127
01:02:51,527 --> 01:02:53,452
Well, let's see. I should
1128
01:02:53,453 --> 01:02:55,489
remind you I have doctorates in
1129
01:02:55,490 --> 01:02:57,617
electromagnetic theory, charmed quark
1130
01:02:57,618 --> 01:02:59,493
physics, and applied systems engineering,
1131
01:02:59,794 --> 01:03:03,039
along with advanced degrees in eighteen
1132
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,616
other varied subjects.
1133
01:03:25,662 --> 01:03:28,983
Voila. Care to close, doctor.
1134
01:03:30,484 --> 01:03:33,611
Listen, professor,
I need to say something to you.
1135
01:03:33,612 --> 01:03:35,278
I apologize.
1136
01:03:35,279 --> 01:03:37,126
Whatever for?
1137
01:03:38,350 --> 01:03:40,242
I've always rejected
1138
01:03:40,243 --> 01:03:42,818
anything or anyone connected with the
1139
01:03:42,819 --> 01:03:45,485
supernatural and it's affected the way I
1140
01:03:45,516 --> 01:03:46,096
thought of you.
1141
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:46,923
My dear miss Peterson,
1142
01:03:46,924 --> 01:03:50,039
you're simply confused. Let me explain it
1143
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,065
this way, I believe science and magic
1144
01:03:53,066 --> 01:03:56,471
represent mankind's highest aspirations.
1145
01:03:56,472 --> 01:03:58,808
Right at first, they seemed like opposing
1146
01:03:58,809 --> 01:04:02,074
forces, at some point their paths converge.
1147
01:04:20,947 --> 01:04:22,934
All right, come on everybody, bring it in.
1148
01:04:22,935 --> 01:04:24,051
Let's go.
1149
01:04:34,975 --> 01:04:36,575
My God, look!
1150
01:04:41,481 --> 01:04:43,217
Hold your fire - hold your fire.
1151
01:04:55,932 --> 01:04:58,297
My people are familiar with these beasts.
1152
01:04:58,398 --> 01:04:59,342
What are they?
1153
01:04:59,366 --> 01:05:02,283
If I'm not mistaken, they're troglodytes.
1154
01:05:02,384 --> 01:05:06,817
Evolutionary transition from ape to man.
1155
01:05:07,718 --> 01:05:09,433
Some of the species must have
1156
01:05:09,434 --> 01:05:11,620
found an amiable environment below the
1157
01:05:11,621 --> 01:05:15,344
surface, thereby avoiding extinction.
1158
01:05:16,145 --> 01:05:17,222
You mean missing links?
1159
01:05:17,646 --> 01:05:19,481
Speaking of missing links,
1160
01:05:19,682 --> 01:05:21,239
where's Tony?
1161
01:05:21,963 --> 01:05:23,840
LaStrella.
1162
01:05:24,265 --> 01:05:24,724
This is the
1163
01:05:24,724 --> 01:05:27,348
scientific chance of a lifetime.
1164
01:05:27,772 --> 01:05:28,448
Sidearm.
1165
01:05:29,249 --> 01:05:30,148
LaStrella.
1166
01:05:30,974 --> 01:05:31,988
We have to gather data
1167
01:05:32,064 --> 01:05:34,101
on these creatures. It could prove
1168
01:05:34,202 --> 01:05:36,349
invaluable in our search for habitability.
1169
01:05:36,550 --> 01:05:40,315
LaStrella!
1170
01:05:42,091 --> 01:05:44,017
Look at this.
1171
01:05:44,418 --> 01:05:46,274
Wait wait wait wait wait.. hold it hold it
1172
01:05:46,475 --> 01:05:48,162
just stay here,
just stay here, just stay here
1173
01:05:49,463 --> 01:05:50,489
I've got the uncomfortable
1174
01:05:50,490 --> 01:05:53,066
feeling they've already made contact.
1175
01:05:55,534 --> 01:06:00,526
All right, Margo, run a geo stability scan
1176
01:06:00,527 --> 01:06:02,182
I'm going after him.
1177
01:06:03,683 --> 01:06:08,215
Devin, I need you to run a geo structural
1178
01:06:08,216 --> 01:06:10,292
analysis of the surrounding area.
1179
01:06:10,293 --> 01:06:12,361
We might have to be here for a while.
1180
01:06:12,362 --> 01:06:15,715
There is a disturbing
number of serious deep
1181
01:06:15,916 --> 01:06:17,773
level geo structural faults in the
1182
01:06:17,774 --> 01:06:20,559
immediate area. I do not suggest
1183
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,237
remaining here for more than two hours.
1184
01:06:22,438 --> 01:06:24,607
Even that may be pushing it.
1185
01:06:24,631 --> 01:06:26,553
I'll let the Captain know.
1186
01:06:28,954 --> 01:06:29,929
Let me go with you, Cap.
1187
01:06:29,938 --> 01:06:31,754
No, I need you here, they need you here.
1188
01:06:32,555 --> 01:06:35,090
Besides, when we find LaStrella, Chalmers
1189
01:06:35,091 --> 01:06:36,199
here is the only one who might be able
1190
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,387
to talk 'em into giving him back.
1191
01:06:37,388 --> 01:06:39,466
Devin says two hours, maximum.
1192
01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:41,611
Well then, if we're not back in
1193
01:06:41,635 --> 01:06:43,601
two hours or haven't made radio contact
1194
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,307
you do whatever you have to to save
1195
01:06:45,308 --> 01:06:46,345
the Avenger.
1196
01:06:46,369 --> 01:06:46,901
What?
1197
01:06:47,225 --> 01:06:50,243
I say, Chris, is that absolutely necessary?
1198
01:06:50,344 --> 01:06:52,020
For the good of the many, Professor.
1199
01:06:52,021 --> 01:06:52,420
... Captain...
1200
01:06:52,494 --> 01:06:55,369
that's an order.. you clear?
1201
01:07:01,754 --> 01:07:03,778
Looks like we're not the first.
1202
01:07:04,622 --> 01:07:06,129
Not even close.
1203
01:07:21,343 --> 01:07:26,105
My God, Chris, look at this. This might be
1204
01:07:26,106 --> 01:07:29,191
their history, how they came to dwell
1205
01:07:29,192 --> 01:07:33,886
below the surface... through a volcano.
1206
01:07:35,065 --> 01:07:38,793
Uncle Jim was right.
1207
01:07:38,817 --> 01:07:42,144
Look, there's more.
1208
01:07:42,545 --> 01:07:44,951
It'd appear the trogs don't like visitors.
1209
01:07:44,952 --> 01:07:49,296
My God, you don't think LaStrella is...
1210
01:07:57,627 --> 01:07:59,015
I'll try and talk to them.
1211
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:00,039
Cecil...!
1212
01:08:00,063 --> 01:08:02,063
I guarantee they know
how to use these things.
1213
01:08:02,087 --> 01:08:03,387
Then what do we do now?
1214
01:08:03,411 --> 01:08:04,715
I'll let you know when I think of it.
1215
01:08:04,916 --> 01:08:06,556
Repeat, access not authorized.
1216
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:07,919
Dallas?
1217
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,278
It's cold in here.
1218
01:08:10,602 --> 01:08:11,786
We have to keep it cool
1219
01:08:11,787 --> 01:08:14,092
to protect the computer system.
1220
01:08:14,293 --> 01:08:16,193
I do not mean that kind of cold,
1221
01:08:16,217 --> 01:08:17,818
my people are used to that.
1222
01:08:19,219 --> 01:08:21,153
I am talking about woman
1223
01:08:21,154 --> 01:08:23,587
who lives within this wall.
1224
01:08:24,111 --> 01:08:25,938
She has no heart.
1225
01:08:29,939 --> 01:08:32,150
What do you suppose that was all about?
1226
01:08:32,494 --> 01:08:34,377
Maybe he meant... Devin?
1227
01:09:23,363 --> 01:09:25,205
How long they been out?
1228
01:09:25,229 --> 01:09:26,717
Little over an hour.
1229
01:09:27,118 --> 01:09:29,466
Forget this, I'm going after 'em.
1230
01:09:29,490 --> 01:09:31,857
Sit down and relax, Mr. Briggs.
1231
01:09:32,081 --> 01:09:33,144
It's an order.
1232
01:10:38,386 --> 01:10:40,653
Captain, Chalmers.
1233
01:10:40,777 --> 01:10:43,458
Tony! You alright?
1234
01:10:43,459 --> 01:10:44,229
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
1235
01:10:44,253 --> 01:10:46,575
That's more than I can
say for the company.
1236
01:10:52,649 --> 01:10:54,557
They're offering us food,
1237
01:10:54,581 --> 01:10:55,995
always a good sign.
1238
01:10:56,019 --> 01:10:57,104
Let's sit.
1239
01:11:01,676 --> 01:11:03,343
Chris, do you read me? Over.
1240
01:11:03,444 --> 01:11:05,480
Dr. Chalmers, this is Margo. Come in,
1241
01:11:05,681 --> 01:11:06,683
please. Over.
1242
01:11:07,607 --> 01:11:08,205
Anything?
1243
01:11:08,229 --> 01:11:09,229
No.
1244
01:11:13,731 --> 01:11:16,604
They still got 20 min...minutes.
1245
01:11:19,384 --> 01:11:24,275
Oh God, I can't eat anymore of this crap.
1246
01:11:24,376 --> 01:11:27,255
Force yourself, smile.
1247
01:11:29,579 --> 01:11:31,058
They want to have us for dinner.
1248
01:11:31,058 --> 01:11:32,725
Well, why are they feeding us now?
1249
01:11:32,726 --> 01:11:34,612
You don't understand,
they're fattening us up.
1250
01:11:34,913 --> 01:11:36,999
They are having us for dinner.
1251
01:11:37,023 --> 01:11:38,023
What?
1252
01:11:44,447 --> 01:11:46,847
You have only three?
1253
01:11:47,071 --> 01:11:49,471
You were sent to take them all.
1254
01:11:52,734 --> 01:11:54,734
Silence [ ].
1255
01:11:54,958 --> 01:11:58,458
You talk to me of white furred demons.
1256
01:12:06,252 --> 01:12:09,503
I'm the demon you must fear, damn you!
1257
01:12:13,854 --> 01:12:16,497
No, let him go for now.
1258
01:12:17,121 --> 01:12:19,864
But see to it the ship is watched.
1259
01:12:20,488 --> 01:12:22,688
I must think.
1260
01:12:30,191 --> 01:12:32,585
It's been two hours.
1261
01:12:32,709 --> 01:12:33,501
Well?
1262
01:12:33,825 --> 01:12:36,203
Well what, Mr. Briggs?
1263
01:12:36,313 --> 01:12:38,520
We just gonna leave him out there or what?
1264
01:12:39,521 --> 01:12:42,214
I don't know about you, but I had a
1265
01:12:42,215 --> 01:12:44,191
real hard time understanding the
1266
01:12:44,192 --> 01:12:46,162
Captain's last order.
1267
01:12:46,486 --> 01:12:49,356
You know, I couldn't make it out either.
1268
01:12:51,554 --> 01:12:54,556
Yeah, I didn't hear a thing.
1269
01:12:56,260 --> 01:13:00,011
I heard him, he said "if we're not
1270
01:13:00,012 --> 01:13:03,017
back within two hours" we're supposed to
1271
01:13:03,018 --> 01:13:05,114
leave without him.
1272
01:13:11,896 --> 01:13:14,951
Gear up, we're going after him.
1273
01:13:15,852 --> 01:13:16,986
You stay here.
1274
01:13:17,210 --> 01:13:18,656
I think we should take him with us.
1275
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,526
He would make an excellent guide.
1276
01:13:21,344 --> 01:13:22,096
I like it.
1277
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,799
Devin,
I'm putting you on full security alert.
1278
01:13:24,900 --> 01:13:25,728
What are you doing?
1279
01:13:25,752 --> 01:13:28,005
You gear up, I gear down.
1280
01:13:28,029 --> 01:13:29,016
Yeah, whatever.
1281
01:13:29,154 --> 01:13:32,029
Security program loading now.
1282
01:13:40,974 --> 01:13:43,603
Now activating ship security.
1283
01:13:43,627 --> 01:13:44,129
Warning.
1284
01:13:44,224 --> 01:13:47,249
Main hatch closing and hull electrified at
1285
01:13:47,250 --> 01:13:49,136
500 megawatts.
1286
01:14:08,503 --> 01:14:09,696
What does this mean?
1287
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,378
It means trouble.
Come on, let's go - go.
1288
01:14:22,504 --> 01:14:27,309
It is as I thought,
the others follow.
1289
01:14:27,333 --> 01:14:31,247
And the book ... their spirit keeps
1290
01:14:31,271 --> 01:14:33,470
guard over it within their ship
1291
01:14:33,494 --> 01:14:35,264
and prevents our entry.
1292
01:14:35,288 --> 01:14:37,694
Then quickly, bring Katheoc back
1293
01:14:37,726 --> 01:14:40,152
so I can warn him of their approach.
1294
01:15:03,281 --> 01:15:06,604
Eh, no way. Nothing there.
1295
01:15:07,528 --> 01:15:09,183
So where are they?
1296
01:15:09,384 --> 01:15:10,314
They - they have gone through
1297
01:15:10,338 --> 01:15:11,819
that passageway, beyond.
1298
01:15:15,524 --> 01:15:18,077
What damn passageway?
1299
01:15:18,394 --> 01:15:21,354
The one beneath the boulder.
1300
01:15:21,378 --> 01:15:22,557
Come on.
1301
01:15:28,088 --> 01:15:30,030
You don't feel it?
1302
01:15:30,054 --> 01:15:32,253
The bat, it's still warm.
1303
01:15:35,818 --> 01:15:36,948
It's a dead end.
1304
01:15:36,972 --> 01:15:39,602
No, look further.
1305
01:16:14,050 --> 01:16:17,865
Yeah, lights out.
1306
01:16:17,875 --> 01:16:20,778
They're ugly, but they ain't stupid.
1307
01:16:20,779 --> 01:16:23,025
They got sentries all over the place.
1308
01:16:23,026 --> 01:16:25,323
We gotta find a way over that ridge.
1309
01:17:25,567 --> 01:17:26,763
Heads up.
1310
01:17:49,044 --> 01:17:50,238
Okay, go.
1311
01:18:33,039 --> 01:18:34,456
They're gonna burn them alive.
1312
01:18:34,457 --> 01:18:35,479
Oh no.
1313
01:18:35,803 --> 01:18:36,992
Oh, there's one more thing.
1314
01:18:36,993 --> 01:18:38,960
They've got these two big stone heads.
1315
01:18:38,961 --> 01:18:40,518
They look just like Dallas.
1316
01:18:40,542 --> 01:18:42,846
Crogs are deathly afraid of my people.
1317
01:18:43,070 --> 01:18:45,286
They think we are demons.
1318
01:18:45,323 --> 01:18:47,329
How come it's like pulling teeth to get
1319
01:18:47,330 --> 01:18:48,240
anything out of you?
1320
01:18:48,264 --> 01:18:49,546
No..no.
1321
01:18:49,547 --> 01:18:52,497
Miller, help me rig a harness
and tackle for the big guy.
1322
01:18:52,521 --> 01:18:53,346
You got it.
1323
01:18:53,870 --> 01:18:54,163
Hmm
1324
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,939
You worthless slime.
1325
01:19:05,163 --> 01:19:08,533
You were told to bring him, not kill him.
1326
01:19:08,634 --> 01:19:11,456
He's useless to me now.
1327
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,982
Go,
tell me if the Crog have taken the others.
1328
01:19:17,042 --> 01:19:18,365
Quickly!
1329
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,652
For three millennia,
1330
01:19:23,676 --> 01:19:27,189
I have been left to suffer in this hell,
1331
01:19:27,213 --> 01:19:30,094
but freedom reaches for me now.
1332
01:19:35,670 --> 01:19:37,270
Why are you doing this?
1333
01:19:37,595 --> 01:19:38,396
You're gonna help us
1334
01:19:38,420 --> 01:19:39,731
get our friends out of there.
1335
01:19:39,832 --> 01:19:40,486
Wha?
1336
01:19:40,684 --> 01:19:43,569
Strap you in a cradle,
1337
01:19:43,596 --> 01:19:44,761
hang you on a roller,
1338
01:19:44,785 --> 01:19:47,382
sail you across the rope.
1339
01:19:47,583 --> 01:19:47,883
oh oh
1340
01:19:47,907 --> 01:19:49,130
Fly over the troglodytes,
1341
01:19:49,259 --> 01:19:50,486
scare the hell out of them,
1342
01:19:50,510 --> 01:19:51,416
they run for cover,
1343
01:19:52,017 --> 01:19:53,321
we duck in and grab the
1344
01:19:53,345 --> 01:19:54,649
Captain and the others.
1345
01:19:54,673 --> 01:19:55,442
I'll get sick.
1346
01:19:55,543 --> 01:19:58,427
Good, go ahead and puke.
1347
01:19:58,528 --> 01:20:00,587
That'll scare 'em even more.
1348
01:20:17,863 --> 01:20:20,063
Don't you see, I - I can't.
1349
01:20:20,488 --> 01:20:22,252
You either do it on a rope
1350
01:20:22,276 --> 01:20:23,903
or you do it free fall.
1351
01:20:23,904 --> 01:20:26,553
It's all the same to me.
1352
01:20:27,177 --> 01:20:29,626
... won't allow any threats.
1353
01:20:29,727 --> 01:20:31,587
I've seen guys like him,
1354
01:20:31,611 --> 01:20:33,262
they just need to be convinced.
1355
01:20:33,363 --> 01:20:34,840
You've seen guys like him?
1356
01:20:34,850 --> 01:20:36,888
I don't think so, Briggs.
1357
01:20:37,812 --> 01:20:39,513
I thought we were your friends.
1358
01:20:39,537 --> 01:20:40,880
My first.
1359
01:20:41,104 --> 01:20:43,275
Then why won't you help us?
1360
01:20:48,112 --> 01:20:50,899
We believe that a friend is more
1361
01:20:50,900 --> 01:20:53,254
important than any law.
1362
01:21:00,217 --> 01:21:01,724
You get straight over the village,
1363
01:21:01,725 --> 01:21:03,701
drop these, they detonate on impact.
1364
01:21:04,302 --> 01:21:05,628
No, no harm.
1365
01:21:06,852 --> 01:21:08,319
They won't hurt anyone,
1366
01:21:08,343 --> 01:21:10,455
Dallas, they just fireworks.
1367
01:21:10,513 --> 01:21:12,930
Yeah,
you'll be the bright spot of their day.
1368
01:21:12,931 --> 01:21:14,105
You ready?
1369
01:21:14,229 --> 01:21:15,404
No!
1370
01:21:15,528 --> 01:21:16,603
Good.
1371
01:21:17,927 --> 01:21:19,627
Give 'em hell, big guy.
1372
01:21:53,396 --> 01:21:54,303
I'll do the Captain.
1373
01:21:54,327 --> 01:21:55,327
Get Chalmers.
1374
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,058
Escaped!
1375
01:22:18,682 --> 01:22:21,600
I don't care how, damn you.
1376
01:22:21,701 --> 01:22:24,596
But they run for their ship, yes?
1377
01:22:57,514 --> 01:22:58,613
Okay, big guy,
1378
01:22:58,614 --> 01:23:01,239
Let's find some cover. Come on.
1379
01:23:12,987 --> 01:23:14,752
Okay, big guy, do your thing.
1380
01:23:21,834 --> 01:23:24,176
That's no way to treat a demon.
1381
01:23:24,900 --> 01:23:25,900
Wait.
1382
01:23:33,224 --> 01:23:36,218
They cannot be allowed to leave.
1383
01:23:36,942 --> 01:23:40,142
I have no choice, now.
1384
01:23:40,319 --> 01:23:43,334
Prepare yourself to insure my return.
1385
01:23:43,435 --> 01:23:46,740
I can venture from here but no more than a
1386
01:23:46,741 --> 01:23:49,916
handful of minutes, but I must have their
1387
01:23:50,017 --> 01:23:51,685
piece of the book!
1388
01:23:57,477 --> 01:23:59,922
Damn, gun's jammed.
1389
01:24:02,761 --> 01:24:06,136
It's the gut for us
1390
01:24:12,046 --> 01:24:13,469
Yeah!!
1391
01:24:13,493 --> 01:24:15,493
Yeah!!
1392
01:24:17,017 --> 01:24:17,732
Come on, Dallas,
1393
01:24:17,756 --> 01:24:19,017
let's get out of here, man.
1394
01:24:22,594 --> 01:24:24,594
Go! Let's go. Let's go.
1395
01:24:37,316 --> 01:24:38,951
It is time.
1396
01:24:39,675 --> 01:24:41,702
Go now, all of you,
1397
01:24:41,726 --> 01:24:44,505
and be there when I call.
1398
01:25:06,259 --> 01:25:07,840
LaStrella, Devin, initiate
1399
01:25:07,864 --> 01:25:09,444
emergency takeoff protocol.
1400
01:25:09,445 --> 01:25:10,620
Let's get this thing in the air.
1401
01:25:10,694 --> 01:25:12,493
Roger, side thrusters going to full.
1402
01:25:12,521 --> 01:25:14,147
Elift protocol engaged.
1403
01:25:14,148 --> 01:25:16,082
Main engines firing in 8 seconds.
1404
01:25:16,083 --> 01:25:17,682
Margo, Briggs?
1405
01:25:17,983 --> 01:25:20,529
Activating HG navigation now, Captain.
1406
01:25:20,530 --> 01:25:21,716
Scanners up and sweeping.
1407
01:25:21,717 --> 01:25:23,743
We have ignition on all main engines.
1408
01:25:24,744 --> 01:25:26,939
Prepare for liftoff in ten seconds.
1409
01:25:26,963 --> 01:25:29,017
Nine. Eight
1410
01:25:29,041 --> 01:25:30,717
Time to strap yourselves in, people.
1411
01:25:40,041 --> 01:25:44,641
Four. Three. Two. We have liftoff, Captain.
1412
01:25:44,808 --> 01:25:46,874
Assume stable hover at 18 meters.
1413
01:25:46,875 --> 01:25:48,841
Prepare for level flight.
1414
01:26:03,124 --> 01:26:05,130
Approaching stable hover, 18-meters.
1415
01:26:05,131 --> 01:26:06,503
Clear to take it out that hole
1416
01:26:06,527 --> 01:26:07,898
you blew to get us out, Captain.
1417
01:26:12,124 --> 01:26:13,008
Come ahead one quarter
1418
01:26:13,032 --> 01:26:14,664
and turn us to port, 12 degrees.
1419
01:26:23,444 --> 01:26:26,349
Engines ahead at 2.53, Captain.
1420
01:26:26,404 --> 01:26:28,160
And bearing 169 just below
1421
01:26:28,184 --> 01:26:29,740
that cliff ahead, LaStrella.
1422
01:26:33,205 --> 01:26:34,003
Oh!
1423
01:26:34,060 --> 01:26:36,296
Danger! Full hull anomaly.
1424
01:26:38,897 --> 01:26:41,093
Primary bridge, overloading.
1425
01:26:45,164 --> 01:26:47,688
Circuit relay failure imminent.
1426
01:26:50,851 --> 01:26:52,915
Initiating bi-control sequence.
1427
01:27:02,716 --> 01:27:07,331
Give me your piece of the book!
1428
01:27:09,714 --> 01:27:12,162
Flight control, reaching critical.
1429
01:27:32,907 --> 01:27:34,439
Somebody want to tell me who,
1430
01:27:34,463 --> 01:27:35,823
or what the hell that just was.
1431
01:27:36,663 --> 01:27:37,742
Well, I can't swear to it,
1432
01:27:37,766 --> 01:27:39,641
but I think that's who's been
1433
01:27:39,664 --> 01:27:41,339
hounding us since we got here.
1434
01:27:41,438 --> 01:27:43,407
I think this is why.
1435
01:27:43,431 --> 01:27:44,671
For this?
1436
01:27:44,772 --> 01:27:46,101
But, what is it?
1437
01:27:46,125 --> 01:27:48,377
That piece is only a small
1438
01:27:48,378 --> 01:27:51,103
part the book of knowledge.
1439
01:27:51,327 --> 01:27:52,881
Doesn't look like book.
1440
01:27:52,905 --> 01:27:54,731
More like a puzzle, really.
1441
01:27:54,767 --> 01:27:56,779
It's a cosmic force that makes the
1442
01:27:56,803 --> 01:27:59,415
Holy Grail pale into insignificance.
1443
01:28:00,038 --> 01:28:02,626
Just before the demise of Atlantis,
1444
01:28:02,650 --> 01:28:05,271
the high priests of the city used
1445
01:28:05,595 --> 01:28:08,015
a craft to descend into a volcano.
1446
01:28:08,082 --> 01:28:12,165
Sound familiar? Mythology states that the
1447
01:28:12,166 --> 01:28:14,082
priests then built deep within the Earth
1448
01:28:14,083 --> 01:28:17,608
the legendary library of Atlantis.
1449
01:28:17,609 --> 01:28:18,598
The library?
1450
01:28:18,622 --> 01:28:21,112
Probably destroyed. What we saw
1451
01:28:21,513 --> 01:28:23,331
were only a few pieces of the puzzle.
1452
01:28:23,332 --> 01:28:26,776
It's a spiritual circuit board of sorts,
1453
01:28:26,777 --> 01:28:29,183
contains a mystical energy that could
1454
01:28:29,184 --> 01:28:30,662
enlighten mankind.
1455
01:28:31,186 --> 01:28:33,848
However,
if it were to fall into the wrong hands,
1456
01:28:34,072 --> 01:28:36,025
it would be a source of evil power,
1457
01:28:36,049 --> 01:28:38,406
it could enslave the human race forever.
1458
01:28:39,093 --> 01:28:41,537
He wasn't lying.
1459
01:28:41,561 --> 01:28:42,247
Who?
1460
01:28:42,271 --> 01:28:43,205
Wentworth.
1461
01:28:43,206 --> 01:28:47,369
He knew all about this... puzzle. I was
1462
01:28:47,370 --> 01:28:49,337
supposed to let him know if we found it.
1463
01:28:49,338 --> 01:28:51,954
Looks like your billionaire has a hidden
1464
01:28:51,955 --> 01:28:54,672
agenda, world dominion, if you will.
1465
01:28:54,696 --> 01:28:57,532
How many of these pieces are there?
1466
01:28:57,556 --> 01:28:58,594
No way of knowing till
1467
01:28:58,617 --> 01:29:00,055
they're all assembled.
1468
01:29:00,279 --> 01:29:01,944
It's based on a technology
1469
01:29:01,968 --> 01:29:03,404
that doesn't yet exist,
1470
01:29:03,427 --> 01:29:04,599
or rather used to,
1471
01:29:04,623 --> 01:29:06,387
it was lost with Atlantis.
1472
01:29:06,825 --> 01:29:09,160
It's a crossing point, the bridge from this
1473
01:29:09,361 --> 01:29:11,967
world, it's finite knowledge, to the next
1474
01:29:11,968 --> 01:29:14,228
one, to the infinite.
1475
01:29:14,252 --> 01:29:16,712
So, it must store...
1476
01:29:16,912 --> 01:29:17,878
If I'm not mistaken,
1477
01:29:17,902 --> 01:29:19,707
the combination to the Maze.
1478
01:29:19,708 --> 01:29:22,224
Without it, we may never get out of here.
1479
01:29:27,032 --> 01:29:30,943
I know this journey has not been a
1480
01:29:30,944 --> 01:29:33,190
smooth one, there's not one of us who
1481
01:29:33,191 --> 01:29:35,677
hasn't had second thoughts, fears about
1482
01:29:35,678 --> 01:29:37,924
what may lay ahead,
1483
01:29:37,925 --> 01:29:42,608
but down here, we and only we,
1484
01:29:42,632 --> 01:29:44,867
control our destiny.
1485
01:29:44,868 --> 01:29:49,141
Our strength is in us as one, and as one,
1486
01:29:50,268 --> 01:29:52,016
we will survive.
1487
01:29:55,093 --> 01:29:56,228
Let's do it.
1488
01:29:57,229 --> 01:29:58,367
[ ] Captain.
1489
01:30:06,867 --> 01:30:08,589
Devin, status and helm
1490
01:30:08,613 --> 01:30:09,435
control, if you please.
1491
01:30:09,435 --> 01:30:12,490
Maintaining level flight at 50 meters.
1492
01:30:12,491 --> 01:30:14,506
Forward scanners read all clear
1493
01:30:14,507 --> 01:30:16,453
and the helm is yours now, Captain.
1494
01:30:16,554 --> 01:30:17,636
Full ahead, LaStrella.
1495
01:30:17,637 --> 01:30:24,013
Forward, ever forward.
1496
01:30:24,254 --> 01:30:25,130
I guess it wasn't until
1497
01:30:25,213 --> 01:30:27,669
then I realized there exists a strange
1498
01:30:28,070 --> 01:30:30,366
and unknown place like this in all of us.
1499
01:30:30,367 --> 01:30:33,392
For me, it was becoming captain, but I'd
1500
01:30:33,393 --> 01:30:35,849
looked into that darkness now and seen
1501
01:30:35,850 --> 01:30:38,425
more than I ever thought possible, and a
1502
01:30:38,426 --> 01:30:41,401
journey was just beginning.
