All language subtitles for Crusade [1x05] - Patterns of the Soul

General �hompson,
you don't understand.

We are minutes away

from a new destination
with some good leads.

I don't care

what you're minutes away from.

I have express permission

from President Sheridan

to use the Excalibur
for this mission.

You will contact Robert Black

and his colonists

and take whatever
steps are necessary

to ensure they do
not leave that planet

until you have determined

whether or not

they are carrying the Drakh plague.

If the diagnosis is positive,

you will transfer them

to an Earthforce ship
waiting near Orion 7.

But why?

Theta 49 is uninhabited,

or at least it was
until they got there.

If these colonists are infected,

why can't they just
stay on the planet?

Transporting them out

creates all kinds of
logistical problems,

including the risk of
further contamination.

Captain, I told you I
want them in custody.

I don't need to explain
myself to a subordinate.

Yes, sir.

I don't like being
called and harassed.

Nonetheless, I have
been asked to remind you

that we have not received

any recent topographical readouts,

samples of alien technology,

or reports on anything
you have found out there.

All of this information

would be of use to our
archaeological expeditions.

We need profit margins here, Max.

I know.

Ipx depends on the information

from our scouts.

I know, I know.

I�ve been incredibly busy.

Not to mention the half-dozen

life-threatening situations

that I�ve been in
in the last 2 weeks.

This isn't a debate.

You are behind schedule
in your corporate updates.

The next mission you go on-

trust me. The next place

promises to be a gold mine.

You'll get a full report.

We'd better.

Your attention, please...

I understand we're changing course.

What's going on?

We're going to theta
49, Orion sector.

Why? The previous coordinates

promised to be a veritable gold mine

of alien technology.

Orion system... Theta 49...

looks incredibly dull.

This order came
directly from Earthforce.

Oh, that would
explain the dull part.

If this isn't a planet

that ipx can't exploit for profit,

then maybe this is your cue

to take a vacation.

Ipx doesn't give paid holidays.

For a cause like this,

I�d think we'd all happily chip in.

I just got the word.

What's on theta 49?

Approximately 30 people

who escaped from Earth
during the Drakh attack.

If they weren't able to get offworld

before the plague was released,

then they're infected.

They could be carrying this
plague all over the galaxy.

I hear you wanted to speak with me.

Have you made a decision?

Yes.

We rolled the stones,
and they came up blank.

Never in our history...

has there been such a terrible sign.

We mean your people no harm.

Roll your stones again.

You'll see I�m telling the truth.

No. Our stones have spoken.

On the eve of this, my death,

I hear whispers of a terrible curse.

A tragedy was brought to
my people from outside.

By coming here,

you brought doom to my people.

There is nothing left
to be said between us

that the stones
have not said for us.

Go now...

for I must die.

Please take away your people

so that mine can live.

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?

You sure this process is reliable?

I mean, this is the first time

we've used it in a situation

where we know we're going

into a contaminated area.

The nanovirus shield
has performed flawlessly

in 15 out of 15 tests.

It lines the lungs, and
it sloughs off anything

that comes in contact
with it for 48 hours.

Just don't eat or drink
anything down there.

We can't guard against
secondary contamination.

The tests were conducted on rats.

How do I know it's
going to work on me?

Well, to answer that,

we'd have to figure
out the difference

between a rat and
a starship Captain,

and, well, I don't think

we have that much time.

You all set?

Beginning sonic decontamination

to neutralize all bacteria,
microbes, and pathogens.

Proceed to station 2.

Beginning nanovirus mist.

Please breathe deeply and
fill lungs to capacity.

Nanovirus shield completed.

You now have 48 hours
of exposure time.

All right.

Bring on the rest of the rats.

I told you Black isn't here.

And until he gets here,
you'll get nothing from us.

I don't buy this story
about us being infected

by the plague before
leaving the Earth.

You left in the middle of a war.

Your ship was in the area

where the Drakh released a plague-

after we took off.

Look...

it took us 6 months
to find this place.

We're not leaving now.

You're just trying to get us

to go back to Earth

because we embarrassed

the politicians back home.

There are only 30 of you.

That's not enough

to warrant a propaganda campaign.

No? Well, what about you

and your propaganda campaign?

Look at you...

running around,

pretending to have all the answers.

Running off to another
mission, another war.

The human race doesn't
measure the quality

of what it's accomplished,

only the quantity.

The numbers how much can we do

before someone else can?

And we left, because we have tired

of having our futures dictated

at a breakneck pace.

The Earth has been
spinning out of control

for a long time, Captain,

but our world will remain constant

and our quality of life
something we're proud of.

We'll be here long after
Earth is just a memory.

Maybe that's the lesson
of the Drakh plague.

Slow down and enjoy life,

or it will be taken from you.

Maybe that's why we
were spared to come here.

I�m not here to argue
philosophy with you.

I have my orders.

And what orders are those?

I�m Robert Black.

I suppose you can say

I�m a designated town spokesman.

Mr. Black, we have reason to believe

that you and your colonists
may have been infected

by a highly advanced plague.

It was introduced into
the Earth's atmosphere

at approximately the
same time you left.

It's a trick.
They're trying to pre-

you were saying?

I need to take blood samples

from all of you.

No. You can sample me and only me.

If one of us has it,

then we'd all have it by now.

If I test positive,
you can have others.

But I�m sure you'll
find we're not infected.

I'm sorry about the plague,

but it really has
nothing to do with us.

We came here to start over,

and your troubles-

tour presence is
interfering with that.

But, if cooperation

will get rid of you
sooner than opposition,

you can have our cooperation...

for now.

Please follow me.

Are you all right?

Do you need help?

No, young one.

The twilight will soon become night.

It's... It's the way of things.

This was the way of
my people as well.

I always wondered
if it would be hard

to die alone when my time came.

When I was young,

I was afraid of the
journey into night,

I didn't want to die alone.

Though I have no choice.

There is no one left
to watch over me.

I'm the last of my kind.

I can stay, though,

and watch for you, if you want.

Who are you, young one?

You're not from our village.

You must be... The guide

who comes to take the dying.

No, I�m-

where did you come from?

Seek the cave, on the moor.

I'm glad you finally came.

My life is turning into night now.

I... I can finally see the stars.

Finished your examination?

We'll have the results
back in a few hours.

Just to be on the safe side,

if I were you, I�d be
ready to pack my bags

and return to Earth.

We have no desire to return.

It's not your choice.

You can destroy our ship.

I guarantee you we can't leave.

Earth won't take the risk.

Other races might still come here,

and we don't have the
resources to post troops

to guard a handful of people.

You're just lucky you came
to an isolated location.

There's no one else
here to contaminate.

We'll be back in a few hours.

Tell your people to get ready.

You're not going to let them

take us back, are you?

He's right, Tim.

If we're infected,

we're a threat to everyone.

Don't do this,

not after all we fought for.

We barely escaped Earth,

are you saying that our freedom

doesn't mean a damn thing now?

Tim, you don't have all the pieces.

I met with a Tribal Elder.

He told me that we
bring destruction.

I couldn't understand
what he meant...

till they showed up.

And you believe him?

Synchronicity like this?

It's the first sign of being

in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

Then let's leave.

Why are we waiting for an escort?

Earthforce will just use us

as lab rats again,

and that Captain probably knows

who and what we are.

Now I won't be locked up anymore.

If we're infected, we
shouldn't go anywhere.

We still have a little time...

enough to think of other strategies.

Like what?

Surrender?

Must be difficult for you

being a career military officer,

having to play the roles

of jailer, ferryman, executioner.

That's where we're different.

I just do what I�m told.

The corporation knows all,

sees all, and tells very little.

If we make a bad call,
we can honestly say

that we've acted in good conscience

based on the information available.

Absolutionin absentia.

The blessed state
of being able to say

that it's not my fault.

Gaining the knowledge
of good and evil

was the first
original sin, remember?

How much better of
a world it would be

if they hadn't formed an opinion,

if they had just eaten

of the forbidden fruit of knowledge.

Opinion doesn't enter into it.

Recently, I even get

a perverse pleasure out of that.

Dureena.

Yeah.

What are you doing down there?

Uh, nothing.

Captain,

what's the status of the colonists?

They're infected.

Then I think you better
send the doctor here.

What's wrong? What have you found?

Some...

indigenous life

you might want to check out.

I'll explain everything later.

Uploading my location now.

Priority signal coming in
from Earthforce, Captain.

I'll take it in my quarters.

Doctor, find out what
the hell this is about.

Interesting.

Computer, transfer
readings to com pad.

Transferring.

Captain Gideon, I was expecting

a status report 2 hours ago.

What's the situation?

The colonists are infected
with the plague, sir.

We've given them 3 hours to
get their equipment together.

That's extremely generous.

They aren't in
immediate danger, sir.

In fact, they're wondering

why they just can't be
quarantined on the planet

until we can find a cure.

Granted, there are difficulties.

Absolutely not.

The time and cost to
maintain a quarantine

isn't viable.

Before the colonists move out,

I want the record of
their ship's history

uplinked to my office.

We should know if anyone else

might need to be
quarantined along the way.

Yes, sir.

After you upload the
information to me,

you will erase the ship's log.

We don't want anyone else

stumbling onto those records.

God knows what nonsense
they've put in there.

But, sir-

that's all, Captain.

Enter.

I'm about to head
down to the planet,

but before that I
thought you should know

while I was doing my
work on the colonists,

I came across a cyberorganic
compound in their bloodstream.

I've never seen anything like it.

I shouldn't see something
like this in human biology.

Any idea what might have caused it?

One or two.

I'm running some tests now,

but won't have anything
solid for a couple of hours.

I see.

All right. Thank you.

Captain to team one.

Yes, sir.

Download all the records
in the colonists' ship

and relay that information
to the Excalibur.

Aye, sir.

All right, General,

let's see what's so
important in these records

that you want to delete them.

Computer, cross-check
the name Robert Black

against all Earthforce records.

Accessing.

Name Robert Black requires
Earthforce restricted,

ultraviolet clearance.
Do you wish to proceed?

Oh, sure.

Log in the ultraviolet
code name "benedict,"

Password "sharks. "

Commencing.

Security violation.

Confirmed.

Ante up.

You came in answer to our prayers.

We waited for a sign
at the sacred cliff.

You are that sign.

You walk among us,
but are not one of us.

No, no, no. I-I�m not
who you think I am.

I just came on a starship.

But I-I don't see how
you could be my people.

It doesn't make sense.

Our tale is a long
and difficult one.

I will tell you what has been

passed down to us for generations.

We were taken as labor
to help to form a colony

by the starship Qualtham.

It was when our people

were first taken to
the stars by others.

There was a terrible accident

before we could arrive
at our destination.

Something appeared near our ship,

and with weapons of
great destruction,

nearly destroyed our vessel.

When the ship was damaged,

our escape pods
landed on this planet.

Those of us who managed to escape

eventually gathered here, but...

we had no communications, no...

record of what happened, and...

so we were soon forgotten.

A lost tribe.

Yes?

Doctor, could you swing by

the colonists' ship on your way in

and take a look at their
waste disposal system?

Charming. What exactly
am I looking for?

I'm not sure yet,

but, uh, just let me
know what you find.

I could have been the chief medic

on the science vessel theolympus,

but, no, I chose this mission

because it was honorable,

commendable,

important.

Yecch! And this is how
I�m helping humanity.

Ugh.

Captain?

I'm getting a reading
from some of the food

the colonists picked up en route.

The package in my hand
hasn't been opened,

but there are traces of the plague.

That confirms what I found here.

According to the ship's log,

the colonists did get off Earth

before the plague was released.

I don't understand.

If the plague had broken out

at whatever supply
base this came from,

we'd have heard about it.

But this food

is definitely contaminated.

Is that possible?

No.

Not unless...

Unless it was

deliberately contaminated.

If the colonists were
deliberately contaminated,

then who did it, and
where did it come from?

Well, the package says
it was manufactured

by pro-zeta corporation.

Never heard of it.

Probably some low-grade
food or Black market drop

that could be sold quick and
cheap without any quarantine.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm going to try and find out more

about this pro-zeta corporation.

I think I know just the person

to help look into it.

You better get on up here.

Uh, I will

as soon as I�ve found Dureena.

If something funny's going on here,

somebody's got to warn her.

All right. Just be careful.

Ahh, Captain. What an honor.

I don't think that
I�ve had the pleasure

of a visit from you

in all the time that
we've known each other.

Come in.

I was just reading a
bit ofcanterbury tales

to amuse myself.

Chaucer, you know.

another astute individual.

Why, thank you.

Who said that I was
comparing him to you?

How can I help?

Pro-zeta.

We think they're dealing
in contaminated goods,

specifically the Drakh virus.

And I figured if
anyone knew about them,

it would be...

Mr. Corporation.

It's a protein manufacturing
synthetic meats.

They distribute throughout
the Earth alliance territory

and beyond.

How far beyond?

As far as they want.

That's a lot of permits.

Some serious government connections.

Very serious.

Their headquarters
are on Seti Gamma 2.

Understand that if they have done

something naughty,

that you won't be
able to trace it back.

You're lucky to
have gotten this far.

But you won't get any further.

Try, and you'll end up 6 feet under.

That any of us survived the crash

is a blessing.

Out of nearly 1,000
workers aboard our vessel,

there were only 100 survivors.

You've done well for yourselves.

And you've kept the traditions

of our world alive.

We have always kept our
reverence for the stones.

If you have come to take
us back to Xander Prime,

you must understand this
place is now our home.

I wish I could offer you that much.

But our home is-

Dureena!

Who is she?

I can't believe what I�m seeing.

I thought they were all-

I have to know if
they've been infected.

I need you to test them.

We've had contact with the humans.

I'm afraid your doctor's too late.

We've rolled the stones.

We know.

Our people have been
marked with doom.

Let the doctor help.

I know it isn't customary,

but...

your colony is the
last of our people.

No! Yes!

Xander prime is destroyed.

That's why I travel with the humans.

Our world as you remember it

is dead.

Until today,

I thought I was the
last of our race.

If you don't seek
help for the plague,

it will mean the true
end of our civilization.

When will you have the results?

A few hours.

But my guess is your people

are infected with
the plague as well.

I'm sorry.

I know this must be
very difficult for you.

When we get back to the ship,

we can arrange to transfer them.

They're not leaving here.

This is their home. They've
already lost one homeworld.

I won't have them lose another.

Dureena, be reasonable.

Reasonable? Reasonable?!

Let me tell you what reasonable is?

Reasonable is that you keep quiet

about my people being here.

Reasonable is that you
head back to the shuttle

and you finish their tests,

pretend you were examining
the wildlife or something

to see if they were infected.

Reasonable is doubling our
efforts to find the cure,

because now there are 2
very good reasons to find it:

Your race... and mine.

If you do report this,

and Earthforce endangers
the lives of my people,

I will hold you
personally responsible.

You should never have come here.

We don't want to go back to Earth,

and I�m going to make
sure we don't go back...

And so are you.

Help! Cap-uh!

I don't want to hurt you.
Please don't struggle.

Aah! Let go of me!

What?
- Cybernetic arms.

I'm afraid they aren't
very pressure sensitive.

Slight defect.

If you struggle, I might crush you.

Aah!

Dureena?

Captain, this is Dr. Chambers.

Dr. Chambers? Dr. Chambers?

Are we locked in? It's ok.

I meant to call the shuttle.

My mistake.

Chambers out.

Interesting.

Cross-reference
any classified files

on Seti Gamma 2 and
bioweapons division

with other Earthforce personnel,

specifically General Thompson.

Commencing.

Where's Black?

Still trying to negotiate

a way out of this.

He can't negotiate
with these people.

Earthforce will do
anything to get us back,

keep this cyber-enhancement

out of the wrong hands.

He's buying into their lies again.

Look, it's too late for
you to fight back now.

You're already infected.

If I do only have 5 years to live,

I want to spend them free,

not locked in a cage.

The ship has been powered
since they got here.

All we have to do
is make a run for it.

Now with the good doctor here,

no one's going to try and stop us.

Black, you have got a big problem.

Who are you?

Dureena Nafeel. I came
with the Excalibur.

Look, one of your
men just attacked me

and took Dr. Chambers captive.

Now considering

his unnatural speed and strength,

I would say you have

some serious explaining to do

about who you are and
what you are doing here.

Looks like you're too late.

What's going on?

It's the colonists' ship.
They're making a run for it.

We have a lock on
the departing shuttle,

heading 22 by 75 by 83.

Navigation, plot
an intercept course.

Dureena to Gideon.

Gideon here.

Several of the colonists
have just taken off.

They've also taken Dr. Chambers.

I think she may be
onboard as a hostage.

Got it. Dureena,

I suggest you get
up here immediately.

Negative. I�m staying here, Captain.

Suit yourself. Gideon out.

Patch me through to that ship.

Yes, sir.

On-line.

This is Captain Matthew Gideon

of the starship Excalibur.

You're too late for negotiation.

We've got your doctor.

I suggest you let us leave in peace.

Let them go. Earthforce
can track them from here.

They're fugitives now.

That's grounds for
calling Earthforce.

Not with Chambers on the ship.

In a few more hours,

the virus screen will wear off,

and she'll be infected
with the plague.

Tim, listen to me.

There's another way.

Why should I believe you?

If you don't, you're dead.

We're already as good as dead.

What can you say
that will change that?

Plenty.

Weapons off. Safety's off.

Repeat, safety's off.

Target acquired.

Fire when ready.

You're staying because of
your people, aren't you?

I understand how you feel.

You don't want them sent away

any more than I
want mine taken away.

They've suffered enough.

So have we.

Do you have any idea

what cybernetic implants
do to a normal person?

The sickness? The convulsions?

The body shock and trauma?

It's hard to watch
people you care about

go through that,

but we did it because we were
young and career military,

and we believed!

The operations were
illegal, of course.

Really deep, covert stuff.

When it started to leak out,

they shut down the program.

Tried to shut us down with it.

Even when we'd been lied
to, given hush money,

and forgotten by our own government,

we still had each other.

And I had Emma.

We went in together,

and we promised to go out together.

She was the kind of
person who knew your soul

from the first time
she looked in your eye.

It was her eyes that ended it.

She was going to lose them
to enhanced night vision

and ultraviolet spectrum receptors.

Brass figured it'd give
us an edge on alien worlds.

Something went wrong
with the operation, and...

I lost her.

When she went away, it
took away everything-

everything I believed
in, all my hope.

The others up there, they
helped me find it again.

I wish I knew what was happening.

The com system's been turned off.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Captain.

General Thompson.

We should have the destroyeranubis

meet you at Orion 7.

Anubiswon't be necessary.

Computer, play back the last record.

We're already as good as dead.

What can you say
that will change that?

Plenty.

Target acquired. Fire when ready.

I see.

How very unfortunate.

The irony, if I may, sir,

is that the colonists
weren't infected by the plague

when they left Earth.

They did get out in time.

We found evidence indicating
that one of their shipments

had been deliberately contaminated.

Unfortunately, we don't have
anything substantial enough

to prove who did it... or why.

I, uh, I thought perhaps

you might want me to look into it.

Of course it's a moot
point now, I suppose.

I suppose.

In any event, job well done.

We'll... Look into
this theory of yours.

Good work, Captain.

You acted in good conscience.

Yes, sir.

I did that.

Hey, hey, somebody's coming.

You're alive.

Hey, john.

Hello, Stan. Hey, Billy.

Mr. Black?

You were right.

You made it off of Earth uninfected.

It was Earthforce that infected you.

General Thompson used
to be commanding officer

of an advanced bioweapons
testing center on Seti Gamma 2,

Which happens to also be

the center of operation
for pro-zeta corporation,

the source of your food supplies.

My guess is that he was afraid

of the truth getting
out when you did,

so he decided to cover his ass.

So he arranged to get
infected shipments of food

onto your ship while
you stopped for supplies

on the last leg of your trip here.

So what Earthforce couldn't have,

they wanted to destroy.

Despite the fact
that Earth was dying,

all they really cared about

was keeping their
dirty little secrets.

I don't want to give
them that satisfaction,

so I�m giving you a chance.

I've put a reconnaissance
satellite in orbit.

The doctor can get authorizations

to quarantine the planet

now that the plague
has jumped species

and has infected some native fauna.

Anyone approaching
will be warned away.

What about our ship?

I saw it explode.

Oh, yes, that.

The Captain used a subchannel

to send us information

he discovered about our
cybernetic enhancements.

He also showed us that we
were infected by Earthforce.

We then left the ship
before it was destroyed.

My orders were to make sure

that you don't spread the infection.

Without your ship,
that problem is solved.

And as far as
Earthforce is concerned,

you're all officially dead.

Consider it the gift
of reincarnation.

But if you try to leave, I�ll know.

The satellite is set up to monitor

any attempt to leave here, so...

don't screw up.

Thank you.

You're not going to
tell me how you found out

about the cybernetic
enhancements, are you?

Why? You weren't
planning on telling us

about finding your own people

on Theta 49.

Point taken.

How did you-

Chambers told me.

She's a doctor, so she has to do

what she thinks is in
their best interest,

even in the face of certain threats

made in the heat of emotion,

which I�m sure someone
might want to take back

in calmer moments.

I can understand

why you would want
to keep this from me,

but we've gotta trust each other.

At least a little.

I trust Chambers as a doctor,

I don't trust who she reports to.

She reports to me.

That's not the point.

I don't trust your Generals

any more than you do.

What I meant is you should
trust me enough to decide...

who needs to know what.

Granted, I�m a bit
eccentric, as Captains go.

Yeah, you gamble.

Well, yeah. Yeah, you cheat.

That's subjective.

You never tell anyone
the whole truth.

And who does?

All right. But I want
a secret for a secret.

It's only fair.

What do you want to know?

How did you find out

about their cybernetic implants?

I have an advantage.

I've always been one
to associate myself

with troublemakers, like yourself.

There's a benefit in knowing
people in high places.

Some of them I consider friends.

Then one day I was
playing a game of sharks

against one of these...

individuals...

we were 4 sheets to the wind,
could barely hold the dice,

and we decided to...

raise the stakes.

We played for access
to his security codes.

He lost.

I've never compromised
his position, but...

they do come in handy
from time to time.

Ah, there.

Now you have something
for collateral.

But even without that,

I wouldn't compromise
your people, Dureena.

I may palm a card off the table

from time to time,

but killing off your trust...

isn't a fair game.

Well, Max, if you
have something to say,

just say it.

Well, I happened to
be in the map room,

and I noticed a number of life forms

very similar to Dureena's

on the scanner

when she called you down
to check out the fauna.

Don't you think you have
an obligation to the Captain

to tell him what you found?

Who you found?

What makes you think I haven't?

Then you won't mind
if I tell my people?

Max, that's my call,

not yours.

The folks back home
should know about this.

This is a decision that
means the continuation

or the extinction of an entire race.

Dureena's race.

Don't you think I realize that?

I don't need you

to help me make a
decision like this.

You're the one butting in

where you don't belong.

Now I appreciate your concern,

but I know full well
what's motivating it.

You just want to take
credit for finding them.

You have no real compassion,

just a wallet where
your heart should be.

Now if you don't mind...

I have work to do.

It's late.

I wasn't expecting
anyone to come by.

Especially you.

Yeah, I know.

I came by because...

I may have been more upset
than I should have been

back on the planet, so...

you know, I figured I�d stop by.

You're forgiven.

About my people...

and-and the plague. How...

how much time do they have left?

One year.

I'm sorry. I finished
the final analysis.

The plague uses a
template as a base.

While it works slow
on human biology,

it works faster on
your species than ours.

You were right...

about doubling our efforts.

I'll do everything I
can for your people.

I swear it on my life.

No.

Swear it on theirs.

To close my report,

I'd like to make one
note for the record.

That not all of the
colonists on theta 49

were killed in the explosion today.

A detailed surface scan
of the planet indicates

that there is another
race living there as well,

suggest that the corporation
check it out one of these days.

Report complete.

Ready to send.

Last entry deleted.

To close my report,

we found nothing of
interest on �heta 49.
