Original subtitles

This was their first view of it.

If you didn't look too close you'd think it was Earth.

Breaking ground on the Town Hall.

Is that Captain Mitchell?

No. I think that's Mitchell.

Are we there yet?

Three hours, 17 minutes to go, sir.

Travis has been digging through the archives.

There's ton of data here-- crew manifests...

survey photos... weekly status reports.

I was hoping to find something-- a clue to what happened.

You'd be the first.

I've been fascinated by Terra Nova since I was a kid, sir.

I always thought lost colonies affected boomers more than anyone else.

Something about people who choose to live off-world.

Captain... do you think anyone's still there?

I'll let you know... in about three hours and 17 minutes.

It's been a long road Getting from there to here

It's been a long time But my time is finally near

And I will see my dream come alive at last I will touch the sky

And they're not gonna hold me down no more No, they're not gonna change my mind

'Cause I've got faith of the heart I'm going where the heart will take me

I've got faith to believe I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul No one's gonna bend or break me

I can reach any star I've got faith

I've got faith Faith of the heart

006 [1x06] Terra Nova

"Terra Nova"?

I'm surprised you've never heard of it.

I'm not familiar with the early years of human space exploration.

Really?

Every schoolkid on Earth had to learn about the famous Vulcan expeditions.

Name one.

History was never my best subject.

It was called the "Great Experiment."

Could humans colonize deep space?

They'd already built New Berlin on the Moon Utopia Planetia on Mars

even a few asteroid colonies, but all within our solar system.

When they found an Earth-like planet less than 20 light-years away,

it was hard to resist.

Took them, what, nine years to get there?

Nine years there, nine years back, but they made it.

My grandfather remembered seeing their first transmissions when he was a kid.

What happened to them?

People have been trying to answer that question for a long time.

No one's heard from Terra Nova in over 70 years.

After the colony was built relations with Earth became strained.

The Space Agency figured nothing succeeds like success

so they decided to send another vessel.

The colonists protested. They'd been there five years.

This was their home. They didn't want another 200 people arriving.

But the folks back on Earth argued that they weren't any other habitable planets within reach

but the colonists dug their heels in.

There were a few angry messages sent back and forth and one day...

nobody heard from them again.

Why didn't you send a vessel to find out what happened?

Nine years there, nine years back--

it would have been a pretty long trip.

A Vulcan trip could have made the journey in far less time.

Why didn't you ask them?

Asking favors of the Vulcans usually ends up carrying too high a price.

My experience with humans is limited

but I've come to learn that they're quite resourceful.

Terra Nova may still be there, Captain.

200,000 kilometers.

Let's see it.

I promised my dad I'd see this place someday.

Put us in orbit over the colony.

Terra Nova Colony!

this is Captain Jonathan Archer of the Starship Enterprise.

We've come from Earth. Please respond.

No answer, sir.

Any bio-signs?

No, but the colony appears to be intact.

I'm also detecting low levels of surface radiation.

From what?

I can't tell.

Let's take a look.

Closer.

Looks like a ghost town.

Let's hope the ghosts can give us some answers.

How bad is the radiation?

Less than 800 millirads.

A few hours of exposure shouldn't pose a risk.

Trip, take the Bridge.

Travis?

A housing unit.

No sign of weapons fire... only rust.

Whatever happened, I got to believe they tried to let Earth know about it.

We've got the schematics for the communication's tower.

Good.

See if the data buffer's intact.

We might be able to access their last transmission logs.

Aye, sir.

Walk the perimeter. See what else you can find.

Judging by the isotope decays the radiation levels

70 years ago would have been lethal.

If that's what killed them, where are the bodies?

Maybe they left the planet before it could affect them.

That would have been difficult.

That's a bulkhead.

They designed their ship to be disassembled.

That's how they built the colony.

It was a one-way trip.

Hello?

We're not alone, sir.

There's someone in the forest.

On our way.

I believe he went in there.

Did you get a look at him?

Yeah. He appeared to be a couple of meters tall biped,

odd-looking scales...

This leads to a network of caverns that extend for several hundred meters.

- Archer to Mayweather. - Go ahead, sir.

Get back to the shuttle, and grab a pair of flashlights.

- Make it quick. - Yes, sir.

It'd be best if I went first, sir.

After you.

Captain.

My name is Archer.

We're looking for some people.

I was hoping you could help us.

We're not going to hurt you.

We're just trying to find out what happened to them.

Which way?

T'Pol to Captain Archer.

Captain?

We're under attack and I think we just took a wrong turn.

We could use a little help navigating down here.

Just a moment.

In approximately three meters a tunnel will branch off to your left.

Take it.

I don't see a tunnel.

Correction: ten meters.

I'm all right, sir.

Malcolm?

Malcolm!

Where's Malcolm?

Go.

Take us up!

If those aliens killed the colonists they could kill Malcolm, too.

Those weren't aliens. They're human.

I don't get it.

If they're human, why were they shooting at us?

Archer to the Bridge.

What have you found?

We've got a pretty good picture of those caverns

and we've picked up 52 bio-signs so far-- all human.

The only one I'm interested in right now is Lieutenant Reed.

We've got to get him out of there. Have you found him?

Yes, sir, he's about 90 meters below the surface.

He's not responding to hails, Captain, but he's alive.

Have Dr. Phlox join us in the Situation Room.

Aye, Sir.

If these are the descendants of the original colonists

they've never seen other humans before.

Maybe we looked as strange to them as they did to us.

Twelve-point-six kilometers worth of tunnels.

Looks like they even dug a few wells.

The geology's a little shaky.

Some of these passageways have collapsed.

They may have been driven underground by the radiation.

Have you figured out what caused it?

Not yet.

What do they do for food?

Many species feed on underground fauna and flora: tubers, fungi, insects.

They also hunt some kind of burrowing animal.

- Where's Malcolm? - Right here, sir.

There are two people with him.

Can we use the Transporter?

He's too deep.

A section of this tunnel is collapsed-- it's empty.

If we could get into it we could clear the obstruction with phase-pistols.

We'd be less than 20 meters from Lieutenant Reed.

What about these two? We have to assume they're armed.

A stun grenade would solve that problem.

I don't want to risk any more casualties.

Despite how they look, they're still human.

We've got to find some way to talk to them.

They didn't seem too eager to talk.

If I can't make first contact with other hu...

I don't have any business being out here.

Malcolm was shot.

Grab your medical kit and meet me at the Launch Bay.

Right away, sir.

Captain?

Try to find out what irradiated the surface.

You and Hoshi, get to work on that data buffer.

I want to know if they tried to send any messages to Earth.

Do you think they know we've returned?

Hard not to hear a shuttlepod landing on your roof.

I'm unarmed.

I just want to talk.

I'm concerned about my officer.

I'd like to see him.

Fancy meeting you here.

How's the leg?

I've lost a bit of blood, sir but I don't think it's too serious.

May I have my medical supplies, please?

Human?

That's right.

What's that?

My name is Phlox.

I am a Denobulan.

I am Captain Archer's physician.

You tracked from Earth... on a Sky Ship.

It's called Enterprise.

To what?

Gut the rest of us?

No.

We're here to find out what happened to the colony.

We came to help you.

Novans have had enough "help" from you.

We're not so easy to hunt as Diggers.

Go back to the Overside, or we'll seal your passage.

I told you.

We're not here to hurt anybody.

Take that one, and don't track back.

All right but he won't be able to get through these tunnels on one leg.

My doctor needs to treat him.

What makes you think we're here to hurt you?

Humans hurt Novans.

Why do you think that?

They gutted us.

Our families.

Our before-families.

I don't understand.

The Poison Rain.

I was no taller than a Digger but I can still see back.

We lived on the Overside.

Then the humans dropped the Poison, burned our skin gutted the grown ones.

There was no place to go but here.

To the... "Underside."

I think I know what you're talking about.

The Poison Rain.

It was some kind of radiation.

I don't know what caused it, but I'm sure it wasn't humans.

He can walk... more or less

but I'll need to get him back to Sick Bay to remove the projectile.

I know this will be hard for you to accept

but you're the descendants of human beings.

Your ancestors colonized this planet over 70 years ago.

They came from Earth, just like I did.

I don't know what happened

but maybe we could work together and find out.

He speaks in shale.

If that's your way of calling me a liar give me a chance to

prove what I'm saying.

My... "Sky Ship" has tools that can help us find out what happened here.

No.

Are you aware that your mother is sick?

This is one of the tools the Captain spoke of

which can tell me all kinds of things about the inside of your body.

She has an illness that we call "lung cancer"

but it's easily cured.

Dr. Phlox can make her well

but she'd have to come back to our ship.

This is shale.

They want to trap us on the Overside... to gut us.

How long of a day would it take?

Not long. A few hours, at the most.

Hours?

She'd be back before the sun rises on the Overside.

Let us help you.

We track together.

This one stays.

He needs to be treated, as well.

He'll be fine, for a few hours.

Don't worry about me, sir.

I was just getting used to the place.

Probably best if you lead the way.

That's Enterprise.

It's a lot like the ship that brought the colonists to this planet.

It was called the Conestoga.

Maybe you were born on board.

Or were you born after your parents got here?

My parents were Novans.

They came from the Overside.

No more! Let me out!

- Open the passage. - Just a few more seconds.

- Jamin! - Open it!

It's all right.

My apologies for any discomfort.

Is she healed?

Not quite.

First, we have to determine how far her sickness has spread.

That is you.

The inside of you, anyway.

This picture will tell me what kind of treatment you'll require.

Ah. Interstitial tumors.

The malignancy has spread to her lymphatic system.

She'll need a series of cytolytic injections.

Injections?

Medicine.

He's just going to give her some medicine.

I'll need a few minutes to synthesize it.

I've got some other pictures you might like to see.

One of my crewmen found these in our database.

They might help you remember what it was like

living on the Overside before the Poison Rain.

It's human shale.

They're confusing our path.

You will lose your tracks in this.

I'm just trying to help you see how you got here.

All I see is Digger Filth.

Well, look again...

because whether you want to believe it or not

we're both human.

Bury your drawings.

Doctor... keep me posted.

Captain's Starlog, supplemental:

Sub-Commander T'Pol has discovered the remnants of an impact crater

that could explain the radiation.

How far away is it?

About 500 kilometers north.

How deep?

It's been partially filled in by erosion over the years

but I'm reading impact fractures down to nearly 2,000 meters.

Comet or an asteroid?

An asteroid; a large one.

The tectonic analysis puts the impact at approximately 70 years ago.

The Poison Rain.

The geology was comprised primarily of beresium ore.

The thermo-shock would have created a radioactive cloud

that probably covered the northern hemisphere for more than a year.

They spent all those years getting here...

and for what?

That's an old MK-33, isn't it?

Or is it a 34?

Impressive body armor you're wearing.

Did you make it yourself?

Right.

I don't suppose there's a lavatory on the premises, is there?

I wouldn't mind freshening up a little.

No.

Didn't think so.

Is your belly hollow?

That all depends.

What's for dinner?

Digger meat.

Looks a little, uh... undercooked.

Humans are like damp moss.

They rot on the Underside.

Not bad.

Come in.

It's a transmission, sir.

It's the last one anyone made as far as we can tell.

It was still in the buffer.

It's Captain Mitchell.

No matter how angry Logan's threats may have seemed

there had to have been a way of dealing with this other than attacking us.

Nearly half the adults are dead,

including Dr. Tracey and everyone else is getting sick

except for the younger children.

If they have any chance of surviving

the least you could do is have the Vulcans send a ship for them.

But for all I know they were the ones you talked into attacking us.

You wanted Terra Nova enough to do this?

Well, it's yours now but I doubt

you'll be very pleased with what you find when you get here.

Mark Logan was the head of the opposition--

the ones who were against a second wave of settlers.

Supposedly, he threatened to fire at any ship that came into orbit.

The irony is that Captain Mitchell's message never reached Earth.

The debris in the atmosphere was too dense.

So, for some reason the young kids survive and begin living underground.

Their last memories of their parents are hearing them blame humans

for destroying the colony.

The idea that humans are the enemy has been embedded in them

for more than two generations.

This isn't going to be easy.

Sick Bay to Archer.

Go ahead.

Would you come see me, please?

Is everything all right?

Nadet's cancer has been eliminated.

Nice work.

But I found something quite troubling.

Both she and her son are showing signs of microcellular decay in their endocrine systems.

Their underground water supply has probably become contaminated.

I don't have any medication to treat this and it's only going to get worse.

Would bringing them to the surface help?

T'Pol says the soil and foliage is going to remain irradiated for at least another decade.

How's she doing?

She's as disagreeable as she was before I treated her.

Bring them to the Situation Room.

We are not leaving.

It's not safe for you anymore.

When the asteroid hit the fallout contained certain poisons.

Humans under the age of four or five can usually build an immunity to them.

That's why they survived.

For the last two or three generations that immunity kept you all alive

but now the poisons have gotten into your water supply.

As Captain Archer says, it is no longer safe.

You humans tried to gut our Go-befores when they lived on the Overside.

Now you're trying to gut us.

Dr. Phlox just saved your life.

Perhaps you should give him the benefit of the doubt.

After all he's not human.

Neither am I.

Giant rocks falling from the sky.

Shale! It's all shale!

Take us back!

I went through about 200 to 300 photographs before I found this.

Look familiar, Nadet?

It's the Overside...

before the Poison Rain.

And what about the people?

Humans.

What were humans doing in your colony before it was destroyed?

I think I can help answer that.

You're sure none of these people look familiar?

From the data we retrieved on this photograph,

we're pretty sure this woman's name was...

Vera Fuller.

Ring a bell?

It's the medicine they put in you.

They're confusing your path.

We need to leave.

Look closely.

Vera Fuller.

What do you remember?

Shale!

They're trying to trap you.

Vera had a daughter named Bernadette.

She'd be about 75 now in Earth years.

Nadet?

Bernadette?

You say this is me?

They're trying to make us leave the Underside.

If we're not back before day, your crewman will be gutted.

Take us back.

Is her treatment finished?

I should take one more thoracic scan.

Fine. As soon as you're done bring them to the Launch Bay.

Sub-Commander.

There are 58 human beings in those tunnels and they're all going to die

if we don't get them out of there and what do they think?

They think we're a bunch of hostile aliens

trying to take their colony over.

Stun grenades.

What?

Commander Tucker has continued to enhance the sensor resolution of their tunnels.

We could transport stun grenades to specific locations

detonate them, and use both shuttlepods

to bring them back to the ship.

And then what?

Put them in chains?

I'm sure Mr. Reed could devise appropriate restraints.

What the hell do you think this is, a slave ship?

We can't relocate them by force.

The alternative was made quite clear by Dr. Phlox.

We have to convince them

that returning to Earth is the right thing.

We can't take them by force.

Are you certain it is the right thing?

What are you talking about?

When you get them back to Earth, what will you do?

Send them to school?

Teach them to read and write?

Wear human clothing, eat human food teach them to live on the surface?

Enjoy the sunshine?

You're damn straight.

They're human beings.

It's their birthright.

It might take a little while, but they'll adapt.

It's a hell of a lot better than dying down in those tunnels.

They've lived in those tunnels for three generations.

You can't just pluck them up and bring them

to a strange world and hope they'll learn to conform.

You'd be destroying their identity destroying the Novan culture.

Archer to Tucker.

Captain?

Get up here on the double and bring your maps with you.

The debris cloud reached to about here--

ten or 12 degrees north of the equator.

The southern hemisphere?

Unaffected by the asteroid.

- Captain Archer? - Go ahead, Doc.

The two Novans are in Shuttlepod One.

Will you be escorting them back to the surface?

I'll be there in a couple of minutes.

There's got to be similar underground topography on one of these southern continents--

caves, caverns.

Find them.

Put that on a PADD for me.

And it wouldn't hurt if they were crawling with those--

uh, what do they call them?--

Diggers.

Your planet has three large islands to the south.

We call them continents.

The climate is nearly identical to your Overside.

We don't know how similar the Underside is

but my people are working on that now.

The important thing is the Poison Rain never fell there.

You'd be safe.

Your children would be safe.

You could even spend time on the Overside, if you wanted to.

If our tunnels are infected, you wouldn't want them so badly.

We don't.

We only want to help you make you healthy.

Was that photograph of Vera Fuller and her daughter shale?

Do you really believe that we created it to trick you?

You're human.

So am I.

Humans help each other.

When we track back to the Underside

we'll return your crewman only if you promise to leave.

I've got the landing site locked in, Captain.

Would you at least talk to your people--

tell them what I proposed?

All thrusters are down.

Fire them up again.

Pod One to Enterprise. We've got an emergency.

Is anyone hurt?

We're okay but getting out of here is going to be tricky.

Can you give us the coordinates...?

Captain?

I think we're done dropping.

How far have we gone?

You're down about eight meters.

Looks like a couple of the abandoned tunnels gave way.

Open it.

Open it.

Hold on.

Trip, if I open the port hatch, what am I going to find?

Open it!

You're on the floor of a stable tunnel.

You should be okay.

You're going to have to build a rig to get this pod back on the surface.

Aye, sir.

We're in the down-slope passage.

We need to pass the cut-through to get to your crewman.

Give me your pistol.

What are you talking about?

If you want to see your human alive you'll give me your pistol.

Stay here with the shuttle.

Keep your com open.

Help me!

Hold on a second.

Do you hear that?

Help! Help!

It's Akary.

Help! Help!

Help!

He must have fallen when your Sky Ship quaked the tunnels.

Are you hurt?

I'm leg-broke.

The root has me sealed down.

Would you risk your bones to save a Novan?

I'll do what I can but I doubt I can make it down there.

We'll track together but you'll need to trust me.

The water's rising. We have to hurry.

I need you to give me my phase-pistol.

My gun!

Why?

So you can go free your hostage?

So I can free this man.

It's your turn to trust me.

Give me a hand.

Captain.

How are you holding up?

Not badly, all things considered

but I really wouldn't mind getting this bullet out of my leg.

Tell them.

Tell them what Archer said about the islands to the south.

They promised to leave. Let them go.

We'll be fine here.

We're not fine.

None of us is fine.

We're rotting-- all of us.

They've promised to leave.

I've seen back.

Vera Fuller was my mother.

That girl in the picture was me.

A human girl.

Our go-befores shared the same path.

We should listen.

Ever heard of Judge Crater?

Crater?

Disappeared in the early 20th century.

How about Amelia Earhart?

No.

1937.

Never found a trace of her.

A lot of people spent years-- decades--

trying to figure out what happened to them.

But neither of those mysteries holds a candle to Terra Nova.

And we solved it.

Did more than that.

Those people were a year or two away from extinction.

We didn't just find them... we saved their lives.

All these years wondering about that colony.

I never thought I'd become a part of their history.

Tell you what, Travis.

Why don't you put together the report for Starfleet?

If I'm not mistaken it'll be headline news back home.

"The Terra Nova Puzzle: Solved at Last...

as told by Ensign Travis Mayweather."

Thank you, sir.
