All language subtitles for Crusade [1x01] - War Zone

The alien forces
that attacked earth

struck without reason
or provocation.

Although they were driven
back by our forces,

on their way out
they left behind

a biogenetically
engineered virus

that has completely
penetrated the atmosphere.

As a result,
earth has been quarantined.

Repeat: earth has been
quarantined. Do not...

break it up!

I said, break it up!

Up yours! We're not goin'
to earth, you hear that?!

That's mutiny, mister.

We have our orders.

I don't give a rat's ass
about orders.

You heard what she said.

Earth has been quarantined
with some kind of a plague.

Now me and the other guys,
we were born on Mars.

It's not our problem.

We're not gonna let you
take us back there

and get us infected.

We'll take this ship
if we have to.

Not a chance.

You don't have enough
people to even try it.

No? Who wants to die?

Huh?

Then who's with me?

Come on!

Get out of the way,
captain.

This doesn't
concern you.

It's my ship.

You can't stop
all of us.

No. All I have to stop is you.
You're the mouth.

If you can't take me,

you sure as hell can't
take my ship.

You get past me,
she's all yours.

Aagh!

Who's next? Anybody else?

Half of you are alive
right now

because of my command of this
ship and the rest of this crew.

You gonna fall apart now?

You think i'm gonna
let you get killed?

Now everybody get back
to their stations,

and I will forget that
this ever happened.

Move it!

Stand down.
Get him to the brig.

Have the doc check him over,
make sure he's ok.

You all right?

Yeah, I think so.

Held 'em off as long
as we could

till you
could get down here.

You did the right thing.

This attack's got everybody
in a panic.

Yes.

We're
approaching coordinates

for earth orbit.

Ready to jump to
normal space, captain.

Jump.

Let's take a look.

See how bad this really is.

My god.

Matthew gideon, captain,

attached to the earth alliance
starship excalibur.

To find a cure
to the drakh plague

before it wipes out
all life on earth.

Anywhere I have to.

Who do you serve...

and who do you trust?

With over 240 destroyers

lost in the battle,

lists of casualties
are still being drawn up,

but current estimates
place the death toll

at between 6 and 7,000
killed in action.

President Susana Luchenko

has called for a week
of planetary mourning

for the brave men and women

who sacrificed their lives

in the battle
against the drakh.

While there
are countless heroes

worthy of distinction...

Yes.

Anything new?

Not much.

It's a mess down there.

Everybody's trying to
figure out what to do next.

What about the aliens
that attacked?

Anything more on them?

No. just a name-the drakh.

but apparently some of our
ships are still in pursuit.

They're hoping to capture
a couple of them.

Damn it!

Do you know what?
This is one of those times

I wish I was still
on a destroyer.

This ship was designed
for exploration, not combat.

We got here as fast
as we could.

It was over
before we even jumped.

There was nothing
you could've done.

Yeah? Well,
that's not good enough.

How's ensign James?

The doc checked him out,
said he'll be fine.

He thinks you should put
this attempted mutiny

on the record.

Negative.

He was scared.
Who could blame him?

We were all scared.

I put him down because
I had to. That's enough.

You're being a lot more
merciful than he will.

You know, his father's
a high-ranking official on Mars.

He probably got
on the line to his dad

as soon as he woke up.

And the political situation
between Earth and Mars colony

has always been sensitive.

Striking a crew member
like that,

they could turn around
and bring you up on charges.

Come on, we're in a state
of planetary alert.

Who's gonna care about-

yeah.

Captain,

we've just received
new orders.

Well, it's about time.
What are they?

We're to proceed
immediately to Mars.

Mars?

Did they say what
they want with us?

Not us, sir.

You.

And so it begins.

Drakh ship is
accelerating,

making a run for it.
Comm system's out.

We're venting air
on all decks.

We can't take
much more of this.

Stay with her.

Prepare to launch
the distress beacon.

Tell them we've located
one of the ships

that attacked Earth and
pursued it to this sector.

We intend to force her down
on the nearest planet.

Systems
on overload, sir.

Massive damage
to reactors.

Launch beacon.

Aye, sir.
Beacon away.

Let's just hope
someone else

can finish
what we've started.

Mr. Eilerson,
you see that?

I see it.

Might be a meteor,
piece of space junk.

Send Jenson up
to do a fly-over,

check it out.

We have to go that way
anyway in a few days.

Let's see if we
can't find

that damned
underground city.

No reason
we can't swing by,

see if there's
something of value.

Yes, sir.

That's the fun part about
being an archeologist, Sam.

The present constantly
getting in the way

of exploring the past.
But who knows.

Maybe we'll find
something of value

we can send back
to the corporation.

Nothing like
the occasional surprise

to keep things
interesting, eh, Sam?

Gideon is the wrong choice
for this assignment.

Do you understand me,
sen-

senator Mcquate.

Ah. Captain gideon.
Thanks for coming.

Mr. Ames-military
liaison, planetary security.

Captain.

Sir, i would like
to explain-

in a moment.

I assume you've
been briefed

on the situation
back home.

Well, you've only heard
part of the story.

The planet
is in a blind panic.

Massive rioting
across whole continents.

Doomsday cults springing up
all over the place.

Earth gov's in chaos.

Nobody's even
coming in to work.

Hell, why should they?

They'll all be dead
in 5 years anyway.

5 years?

That's just
a guess, senator.

The high-i. q. boys
back home

figured it
would take that long

for the plague to adjust
to our biology.

Once that happens, every
man, woman, and child

on the face of
the earth will die.

You know, captain,
some folks think

there might have been life
on Mars once upon a time.

If they did exist,

they left no sign.

We'll never know
who they were

or what they did,

what songs they sang,
what stories they told.

Mars is a dead world.

Can't imagine that
happening to the earth

in a few years.

Can't imagine that
happening at all.

Folks back home are doing
everything they can,

but the odds
of us finding a cure

in the time that's left
are just about zip.

We must look outside.

This plague didn't
come out of nowhere.

Somebody out there somewhere
has come across it before now.

Maybe some alien race

we've never even met
before can help us.

Maybe the cure

is buried beneath
some ancient alien city,

forgotten
under centuries of sand.

We need the right ship

and the right person
to find that cure.

The right ship
is the excalibur-

prototype destroyer,
top of the line.

That person...

is you, captain.

Well, i'm honored,
but...

why me?

There are others
just as qualified.

during your time captaining
an explorer class vessel,

you've come across
more new alien life forms

than anyone else
in the fleet.

There are
half a dozen captains

riding explorer ships.

The rest are either
too old, too cautious.

You're a dangerous man when
you want to be, captain,

and right now,
we need a dangerous man.

So, are you
up to the job?

Yes, sir.

Will I be able
to pick my own team?

Some, yes.

Some, no.

This is a highly political
situation back home.

We've had to make
certain compromises

to get this show
on the road.

There's gonna be
a lot of people

looking over your shoulder
on this one, captain.

I understand,
but just so we're clear,

once we go,
this is my command.

I'll do
whatever's necessary.

If that means turning the
entire galaxy upside-down

and shaking its pockets
to see what falls out,

that's what i'll do.

I'm not subtle,
I'm not pretty,

and I'll piss off
a lot of people

along the way...

but I'll get
the job done.

Do whatever you
have to do, captain.

Make sure earth doesn't
turn into this.

Base, this is shuttle 2.

Still no sign
of that crash.

Coming around for an-

just a sec.

Confirm, base.
I have visual lock.

It's definitely a ship.
Origin unknown.

Relaying position.

Ah, hell.

I'm being fired upon.

I repeat, I'm taking fire.

Evasive maneuvers.

I'm being fired upon.

I repeat, I'm taking fire.

Evasive maneuvers.

That's when
we lost contact.

Is there any way to get
word back to the company

to tell them
that we've got trouble?

Negative.

The atmosphere
is too heavily ionized

to get a signal out
very far,

and the transport
isn't scheduled

to come back and pick us
up for another 2 weeks.

We've been out of contact
ever since we got here.

Until now,
it wasn't a problem.

All right.

What options do we have?

Just one.

Move out before
they come after us.

We don't know
they're hostile.

They could have thought our
ship was going to attack.

They didn't try to
establish contact.

They didn't wait to see
what he was gonna do.

They ambushed him and
blew him out of the sky.

Now, I don't know about
where you come from,

but where I grew up,
that's definitely

considered
hostile behavior.

Trace, give it a rest.

Look...

they didn't send out
a general distress signal.

That means they don't want
anybody to know they're here.

Now that they know
they've got company,

guess what-
they'll come after us.

We can't just pack up
an entire expedition.

The hassle-

is a hell of
a lot less hassle

than being dead.

I got plans
for the weekend,

and being dead
ain't part of 'em.

I say we move
everybody out,

maybe into
those caves

we saw
down by the cliffs.

On foot?
What about the shuttle?

Well, we've only
got one left,

and it only carries
4 people at a time.

It'll take longer,
and we might be seen.

Besides, I need it.

I'm gonna take her up
outside the atmosphere

and, uh, send out
a distress signal

where somebody
might pick it up.

It's also possible
that the wrong people

could hear you. Whoever
those aliens are,

they probably sent for help
before they crashed,

and when that help gets here,

you'll be the first target
on their list.

I know.

But like I said,

I don't plan on being
dead anytime soon.

You just take care
of these people

and leave the rest
to me.

And this is
captain Matthew Gideon.

Captain, this is your team:

dr. Emil Horst,
microbiology;

dr. Elaine Moss, pathology
and life sciences.

We haven't selected
an archeologist

and a linguist yet,
and-

this is dr. Sarah Chambers,
medical chief of staff.

She'll be acting
as your liaison

with the rest of the team.

Just a minute, senator.
What team?

He didn't tell you?

Nobody's
told me anything.

I've just been sitting here
for a day and a half

cooling my heels.

I've asked you 4 times now
to let me go back to earth.

I have a sister back there.
I want to see her.

The earth is under quarantine.
it's too dangerous.

Fine. I can live with that.

I can do a hell
of a lot more good there

than sitting around
here on Mars.

No one's just going to be
sitting around here, doctor.

We have a job for you,
very important job.

For all of you.

We've held off in telling you
about it until now

for security reasons,

but not that you're
all together, I-

excuse me.
Excuse me.

Sir, there's, uh,
been a problem.

She got away. Again.

Excuse me for a moment.

What's
all this about?

What mission?

Apparently, they've got

some kind
of prototype starship

they think
can help us find a cure

to the plague offworld.

We're the new crew.
It's a-

get
your hands off me!

Stop it.

...take you out.
Let me go.

I said let me go!

Seems we've
found her, sir.

Are you Gideon?

That's right.

I'm supposed to be
on your team.

You tell them
to let me go.

Pay no attention to her.

Take her back
to protective custody.

No! I am supposed
to be on your team!

Damn it, let me go!

All right, everything's fine.
Everything's under control.

Just a sec.
I wanna talk to her.

Captain?

I said I wanna
talk to her.

After the meeting.

One more thing.

I want my first officer
John Matheson

on the crew with me.

Uh, that's problematic.

He's a telepath, after all.

There are a lot
of sensitive feelings

back home about that,

what with
the recent unpleasantness.

He's followed all the
new rules for telepaths

to the letter.

He's the best first
officer I've ever had.

He's on the crew.
Period.

Let's move it out,
people.

Just get your gear.

The drakh
killed my people,

my entire world.

I came here during
the war to stop them.

I know more about them

than anybody else
you're gonna find.

I can help.

I agree,
so what's the problem?

Our guest is a member
of the thieves guild.

She has a record
as long as your arm.

We've kept her
in protective custody

because we believe
she might have

some information
which may be of use.

Besides, the presence of
a thief would diminish

the prestige and importance
of the mission.

Captain,
let me do this.

Yes, i'm a thief,
and a damn good one.

You need to get
inside something,

you need to get out,

tunnel under, go around,
go through, I'm it.

You're gonna hit some
pretty strange places.

You're gonna need
a lockpick.

There isn't
a lock made

that I can't
get through.

That we can vouch for.

Look, I-

my world is dead.

I don't have
anywhere else to go.

She's in.

Captain-

she's in, or you can get
yourself another captain.

That's our ship.

That's a ship?

It's huge.

A mile and
a quarter long-

the most advanced
and fastest ship

ever built
by humans.

It's beautiful.

It'll do.

Good to see you,
lieutenant.

This is dr. Sarah Chambers
and Dureena Nafeel.

Dureena is a last-minute
addition to the team.

Pleasure.
Dr. Chambers,

ensign Rubino will show
you to your quarters.

Thank you.

thanks for
The invitation.

Wasn't sure they were
gonna let me join the party.

It wasn't a problem.
how are the new digs?

Great.
She's quite a ship.

We're still screwing down
some of the nuts and bolts,

but I think
she'll be just fine.

I set the coordinates
for the testing area.

It's well off the charts
so we won't be disturbed.

Any other surprises
I should know about?

Not now.

Uh, what do you mean?

Well, there was someone else
who came with me.

I thought he was gonna
be on the mission.

Where is he?

I don't know.

He disappeared
shortly after we arrived.

I tried telling the others
about him,

but they
wouldn't believe me.

No, if he wants to show up,
he will,

in his own way
and his own time.

Sir, engines
are on-line.

We can jump
at any time.

Excellent, lieutenant.
Anything else?

Actually, yes.

I know you said it wasn't
a problem getting me here,

and I hate to contradict
a superior officer,

but I suspect my status
as a telepath did...

come up.

John, you know what causes
most problems?

Ambiguity.

Not knowing which decision
is the right one.

You're the best first officer
I've ever served with,

and I consider you a friend,

so there was no ambiguity.

And no problem.

Now, stand by
to jump to hyperspace.

Jump engines
at your command, sir.

Ready to jump.

Jump.

Ship...

pursue.

Computer, status
on our distress signal?

No contact.

Are we getting
any signals at all?

Confirmed.
Signal from distress beacon.

Wait. I thought we were
the only ones around here

sending out
a distress signal.

Negative.
Earthforce military beacon

detected at coordinates
9 by 12 by 16.

Earthforce
military beacon?

Huh.

All right, listen.

If we could
hot-wire that beacon

to our system,

could we have
enough power

to punch through
a combined signal?

Unknown.

Well, of course unknown.
Why the hell am I asking

a machine for an opinion
in the first place?

Set course
for the beacon.

Stand by
to grapple and retrieve.

Confirmed.

Estimate we're 2 jumps from
the testing ground, captain.

E.t. a. 4 hours
and 20 minutes.

Outstanding, lieutenant.

Made it in half the time.

Aye, sir. She's quite-

stand by.

We're getting
a message from Mars.

Put it through
to the conference room.

Captain, there's
been a change in plan.

You are to proceed
at top speed

to sector 85
by 4 by 20.

What's happened?

We had a destroyer

pursuing one of
the drakh warships

which may have
been responsible

for releasing the plague
into the earth's atmosphere.

We lost contact
with them 2 days ago.

Apparently they launched
a distress beacon

before being destroyed.

According to
the modified beacon,

the drakh warship
went down on ceti 4.

Your ship is the closest
one we have to that sector.

We need you to get there
as fast as possible

to retrieve the ship
and any survivors.

You said a modified beacon?

Apparently there was
an archeological dig

which was sponsored by
interplanetary expeditions,

which was in progress
at the time of the crash.

One of them
hot-wired the beacon

to piggyback
additional information.

So there may be
civilians at risk?

Captain, right now
we're all at risk.

hello, Matthew.

I just wanted you
to know that I'm here,

and I'm watching.

In case you should
need help.

Who's this?

Have you forgotten me
so soon?

Sad, but the way
of the world, I suppose.

Expect me
when you see me.

What are...

hello?

Hello?

So you'll have to let us know
if the area around the ship

poses any risk
of contamination.

I'll do my best.

What about the
civilians down there?

Any wounded?

Unknown. We've tried
hailing them,

but there's
been no response,

and there's nothing
on the scanners.

Approaching flight deck.

All right, this is
where we get off.

You have the com,
lieutenant.

If any hostiles
show up, i'd-

you'll be
the first to know.

Good. Stand by for evac.

I'll be in touch
every half-hour.

And check
the comm system again.

I want to know where that
last message came from.

Aye, sir.

Yep.

This is bad, all right.

We got trouble.

Let me guess.

The aliens know
where we are.

Maybe they're telepathic.

Maybe they can sense
our body heat.

But they're minutes away
from our position,

and we're all going
to die soon. How's that?

You always jump to the end
of the story like that?

Why not?

Story of my life.

I finally find
a city like this, intact,

deserted for 10,000 years,

probably contains hundreds
of patents that I can exploit,

and I'm gonna die.

I can appreciate
dramatic irony

as much
as the next person,

but this is pushing it a bit.

Repeat. This is
the excalibur.

Can you receive?

Yes! Yes, we receive!

This is maximillian eilerson
of interplanetary expeditions.

Who are you?

No, I don't care
who you are.

Where are you?

this is the cavalry,
Mr. Eilerson.

We'd like to ride
to the rescue,

but we can't seem
to find you.

Uh, we've moved into an
underground cavern for safety.

Good.
Keep this channel open.

We'll home in
on your frequency.

One small problem.

We have enemy forces
converging on our location.

Confirmed, mr. Eilerson.

We have them on visual.
Stand by.

Gideon
to fighter squadron.

Did you get that?

Confirmed, captain.

Clear the road,
gentlemen.

Councilor L'shan
to fleet.

The enemy has received
reinforcements.

They will be here soon.

Be at peace,
counselor L'shan.

So will we.

Let's go, folks.

Move it. Move it.

Watch your step.

Mr. Eilerson.

Hmm. Captain.
Thanks for coming.

Now if we could just-

I've been told
you can lead us

to the crash site.

Well, yes,
in general terms.

But we can find it
just as well

from your ship.

I know the way.
I can show you there.

Not a good idea.

They've contacted
their fleet,

and we could have
company anytime now.

How do you
know that?

Because I intercepted

and translated one of their
recent transmissions.

You learned their
language that fast?

Eh, it's a knack.

It's like this place.

I got the lights to work.

I found
a system to shield it

from outside detection.

But now that you're here-

we're not leaving
without that ship.

He can take us there,

but I'll need you

to translate
whatever we find,

so that's the deal.

Take it,
or we leave you here.

Ah ha ha ha.

You're bluffing.

I never bluff.

Any sign
of contamination?

Not so far.

Seems to be clean
of the virus,

but I suggest we
keep the breathers on

just to be safe.

What are we
looking for?

Survivors

and computers,

anything to help us
figure out

what we're up against.

Well, here's one.

Food processor.

Yeah. Looks like.

Very funny.

Down!

Take cover! Cover!

Cover!

Got us pinned down.

We'll have to double back
and get behind 'em.

I don't think
that's possible

under this kind
of fire.

Where's dureena?

Hold your fire!
Hold your fire!

Captain.

Yeah.

We have enemy ships
on approach.

I think you better
get up here.

They'll probably try and
come down and take the ship.

All right, launch fighters.

Set up a killing zone
at surface plus one mile.

We need to get up there.

If we lose the excalibur,
we're screwed.

Besides, I just got this ship.

I don't wanna lose it
my first week on the job.

They'll probably dock my pay.

Captain,
this is Trace.

I can get you there.

Meet me
at the pickup point.

I'm on my way.

Eh,wait.

What about us?

The way they're
protecting this place,

There's probably
somebody else here,

someone in charge.
Can you find him?

Not a problem.
Do what you have to do.

We'll take care
of the rest.

I told you.

I will be here
when you need me.

What the hell?

Don't complain.

We can use all
the cover we can get.

It'll keep the enemy

from knowing how many
of us there are.

Ha. He's here.

Last cruiser's
on an intercept-

she's gonna ram us!

Forward guns
out of commission.

Ready main guns.
Prepare to fire.

Fire.

Enemy has
been destroyed.

One minute
to power rebuild.

Getting a signal
from our team on the ground.

They've eliminated
the opposition

and captured
the drakh captain.

Mission accomplished.

No, not yet.

Mission's
just beginning.

But as first days
on the job go,

it wasn't too bad.

Tell 'em
to come home.

Well, what'd he say?

Well, it's rough.

I've had to approximate
a few things.

I'm still trying to
figure out

their use of
the intransitive verb.

But basically,

he considers himself
a prisoner of war.

He says that he
will not cooperate,

and he will not
betray his people,

and he will not
answer any questions.

Well, that's fine.

For starters,
we have his ship,

and once we've analyzed
the delivery system

used to drop the plague
without infecting her crew,

we'll know how
to contain this thing.

As for him,

there are plenty
of people back on earth

who want to talk to him.

They'll make sure
he cooperates.

rrrr...

So you understand us.

Yes, we're sending you
back to earth.

And once you're there,

you'll be exposed

to the same plague
that you used on us.

So if we don't find a cure
before the 5 years is up,

you go when earth goes.

And when your world
is gone...

who will support you?

Who will you serve?

Who... will you be?

Captain.

Ah, lieutenant, good.

That shuttle pilot that
brought me here-Trace?

He's good. See if
he'd like to sign on.

I think we can use him.

And send a message
to Marsdome.

Tell them I want mr. Eilerson
on the team, as well.

Him?

Uh, captain...

captain, from what I can tell,
he's a pain in the ass.

Yes, he is, but we're
going to need

a xenoarchaeologist
and linguist,

and he knows his stuff.

He may be
a pain in the ass,

but he'll beour
pain in the ass.

Yes, sir.

Oh, uh, captain, that message
you asked about,

we tracked the source code
to this location.

It's not far from here.

Does it mean anything
to you?

Yes.

I almost died there
9 years ago.

Don't go.

Don't leave me here.

Set course for this sector.

Let me know
when we're ready to jump.

I'll be in my quarters.

And i just wanted to let
you know what was going on.

I don't know
when i'll be back.

Mom always said
that being the oldest,

I'd have to look after
everyone someday,

especially
your sister Jenny.

You know how she is.

You came out
just fine, Jen.

Now I have to do my part.

We'll be back
when we found a cure,

and we will find it.

I wanna be there

when my niece starts
her first day of school.

Send message.

Confirmed.

I remember you.

You're a technomage.

You use technology

to simulate
the effects of magic.

You were leaving
known space

with the rest
of your kind,

and you found me after
my ship was destroyed.

You saved my life.

What are you doing here?

I was having too much
contact with your kind.

They said I was
endangering the others,

that I risked exposing
our hiding place.

So...

they asked me to leave.

You've been
watching me. Why?

I've been penalized before
for helping other people.

I've been trying to decide

whether or not
I should risk it again.

If you were involved,

I would consider it...

if you should ask.

Then i'm asking.

With your skills,

you could be
a huge asset to us.

I'd like you
to come with me.

What do you want?

To find a cure
for the drakh plague

before it wipes out
all life on earth.

Where are you going?

Anywhere I have to.

Who do you serve...

and who do you trust?

Who do you serve...

and who do you trust?

I don't know.

Then...

I will go with you.
