Original subtitles

All guards on duty must display holographic I.D. Imprints.

Maintenance crew report to sector 4 immediately.

Prisoner release mode engaged.

Well, time to let the animals out of their cages.

[Buzz]

[Buzz]

Welcome back, sir.

Well, how was the vacation, lieutenant Brody?

Nice, Reynolds. Open the gate.

Uh, you got the password?

Just open the gate.

Ha ha ha! Yes, sir!

[Buzz]

[Buzz]

[Hissing]

[Hissing]

What's going on, donato?

I'll tell you what's going on.

They're up to something, lieutenant.

I can feel it.

Ah, they're always up to something this time of year.

Tomorrow's their birthday.

Some birthday.

20 years ago, 50 test tubes get poured out into a petri dish,

and that's why we get to baby-sit a bunch of camouflaged freaks.

They're not freaks.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, g.E.L.F.S--

genetically engineered life forms.

But it was a failed experiment, Jimmy,

just like those dead astronauts

we got stuck up there circling in the milky way.

You're a real humanitarian, donato.

I'm a ueo lifer.

They're alive, donato.

Come on! They can't even reproduce.

They were just supposed to be soldiers--

the perfect jar heads out there dying

for the holy cause of the moment, you know?

If you hate them so much, donato, why did you sign up for this?

Because when some young Louie like you ain't around

bleeding through his heart for these...

Genetically mismanaged g.E.L.F.S,

I'm in charge.

Then you better make the most of it, sergeant.

Trust me, lieutenant, I am.

Where did they go?

It's hard to say, lieutenant,

but they're quick little devils, aren't they?

[Watch beeps]

Well, my shift's up. Good luck.

Get me a prisoner status report.

[Door buzzes]

They're all here, lieutenant. Relax.

[Buzzing]

[Police radio]

Attention, vehicle 32189,

traveling at 64 miles above acceptable speed allowance.

Infraction level 7.

$913 has been deducted from your social security account.

[Woman] Thank you.

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo! Yeah!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Whoo! Yeah!

Whoo!

Come on. Let's do that again.

Ah, I can't. I'm already late.

So?

So?

I'm in the Navy. Navy guys can't be late.

You're not in the Navy.

Well, I'm almost in the Navy.

Well, I'm almost your girlfriend.

I've just got to sail up to New York,

no big deal or anything--

just a parade for the new seaquest,

and I got to be there on account that I'm one of the crew,

and, uh... The president's gonna be there.

The president?

Yeah. Guess he wants to see the new boat.

What happened to the old boat?

It sunk.

What happens if this one sinks?

I'll swim back to take you for another ride.

Ha, you better.

[Bridger] Very nice.

Very, very nice.

Captain. Hi.

I was just waiting around here for you,

and then I met Cindy.

Cindy, this is my captain-- captain Bridger.

A captain!

Hi.

Yeah, and i'm gonna be one, too, someday.

So...relax.

How have you been, sir?

Apparently not as well as you.

You know we're shipping out at dawn.

Yeah, I know. That's why I've been hanging around here for you.

Don't hang around for me. I'm ready to go. Are you packed?

Not exactly. I'll see you when I get back.

You'll wait for me, right?

Hey, Mr. Captain.

That's a cool motorcycle.

Can I have a ride?

Ha ha ha! I've got enough points on my license already.

You guys are so boring.

I can't believe that. Two seconds ago,

she was ready to give me a tonsillectomy.

Come on. Get on. We'll go get your gear.

I like the beard, sir.

And I love the earring, but it's not regulation.

How long have you known this girl?

Uh, about 20 minutes.

Must have been a hell of a summer, huh?

Oh, it was great.

She'll wait for me?

Absolutely.

Really.

Absolutely.

[Engine revs]

[Thunder]

It's just a show of strength, Mariah, nothing more.

No.

It's what birthdays are for--

a celebration of what we've become.

You must have Patience.

Patience?

Patience is a feast for fools.

What we want is freedom.

Things are different now, Joseph.

What's happening with Sarah has made them different.

And that's why they must listen to us this time.

No!

That is why this time, we must fight.

Fighting is why they made us...

And I won't dignify that mistake.

David, what are you doing?

This is only supposed to be a demonstration.

A demonstration of our resolve.

Choose your sides, Matthew, or die here.

David, they're not going to kill us.

They can't. It's not their law.

If we stay here, they already have.

[Whistling]

[Beeping]

[Buzz]

Still up, huh, Matty?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, well, tomorrow's going to be a big day.

You guys are all going to be 21.

You know, that used to mean something once.

It used to mean that you were a man.

I am a man.

[Beep beep]

[Beep beep]

[Buzz]

Have you been waiting for me?

I'm always waiting for you.

You're a man...

A real one.

Yeah. And you're almost a woman.

I guess that's what makes this work so well, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Thank you, sir.

[P.A.] Welcome to seaquest. All visitors please report

to the deck officer before proceeding.

O.k., folks, listen up,

because i'm only going to go through this once.

Barnson. Henderson.

Hayoki. Hines.

Jameson. Johnston.

Jones. Kellogg.

Enlisted crew quarters,

deck 13, section "l."

[P.A.] All maintenance personnel

should report to engineering immediately...

I'm Henderson, Lonnie Ellen, fort Smith, Wyoming.

Did you call Henderson yet?

Uh, did you call me?

Yes, I did.

Sorry. I didn't hear.

Uh, where do I go?

"Where do I go, sir?"

Where do I go, sir?

First-generation Navy, right?

My father ran a solar station,

but I'm pretty good with the wrenches...

Uh, sir.

Deck 13, section "l," bunk 53, upper "k."

And only one duffel per sailor, sailor.

Oh, but I need this.

This is my...

Addison.

Addison.

He doesn't take up a lot of room.

I'm afraid Addison is going to have to miss this tour, sailor.

Deck 13, section "l." Move it.

I could sing her to sleep

until she gets used to being at sea, commander.

Secure it, Ortiz.

You know, if I remember correctly, last year,

you tried to smuggle your blankie aboard.

No. That was a blanket,

and it was an heirloom.

My great-grandmother knit that by hand.

No. It had little animals on it.

They were tigers raising their fists in triumph.

They were kittens waving bye-bye.

Here's your bunkmate assignment.

I get to choose my own bunkmate this tour, right?

Last guy kept cutting his toenails and leaving them all over the floor.

Look, Ortiz, I got to have this boat ready

for a parade around the statue of Liberty by tonight.

We're leaving at dawn, but the boat isn't even done yet.

The paint is still wet.

You ever stepped on somebody else's toenails

in your bare feet?

I don't care about your bare feet.

O'Neill can't boot up the vidlink,

Bridger is missing in action,

half the new crew's uniforms don't fit,

and the rest of them want to call their mommies.

It's very creepy.

Look, Ortiz, could you just go help O'Neill?

[P.A.] Science personnel

should check in with Dr. Smith on "c" deck...

Has anybody seen captain Bridger?

Ah, what do we think of the new seaquest, pal?

Feels good.

Feels great to be back again, doesn't it?

Hello.

I'm captain Bridger.

Have you been assigned to the seaquest?

I clean it.

Yes. It's very clean.

I'm not done yet.

You're an Alpha model "k," aren't you?

I'm a dagger.

Well, that's kind of a nasty word.

It's what they call me.

You're a g.E.L.F.

Yes.

If you want to, sir, um...

Captain...

Sir...

You can call me dagwood,

like a joke.

Dagwood the dagger.

Makes me laugh sometimes.

See?

Welcome aboard.

You're going to do just fine.

Um...

I'm not for sailing, sir, captain, sir.

I'm supposed to be effective fighting personnel,

but now i'm just effective cleaning personnel.

The fighting personnel part

didn't work out very...Right.

I know that.

They said it was because I was the first--

the prototype.

So then they made a lot more of me.

Yeah. Well, that part didn't work out so well, either.

Everything works out in some way.

I suppose so.

[Brody] Reynolds.

Hey, Reynolds!

Yeah. Post 9-b.

You guys are on duty, corporal.

Yeah, we're on duty.

Hey, this is the duty here, lieutenant.

Have you seen donato?

It's not my turn to watch him, sir.

Did you check with his old lady?

Sometimes donato gets home, and he likes to sleep in.

He's not on his watch, and where is everybody now?

They're supposed to be exercising.

Look, everybody's here, lieutenant,

but if you mean the daggers,

on their birthday, they usually do whatever they want.

Yeah, well, I want you to find donato.

Look, we're in the middle of a game here, lieutenant.

Find him, damn it! Then I'm writing you up!

Ugh!

[Game] Player one, victorious.

Yeah, well, do me a favor.

Write me a ticket off of this sand pile.

[Groaning]

It's all right, Sarah.

Everything's going to be fine.

How do you know, Mariah?

I mean, you've never done this. None of us have.

Today is not the day for revolution, Mariah.

Today is the only day for revolution, Joseph.

What about the baby?

What about our baby?

This child will be born free.

What more can we ask for?

We are people now, and this baby proves it.

[Groaning]

Hey, donato.

Hey, where you at, ray? I tell you, Brody's on your tail, pal.

[Snapping sound, man screams]

[O'Neill] Ohh. Great.

What's the problem?

Oh, this boat is two months from being finished.

That's the problem.

Commander Ford? Is that any better?

[Ford] Oh, yeah. Lots.

Tony Martinez is beating gorgeous George on points.

Yay. Miguel, can you get me an r7 lineup, please?

Oh, and let's see if we can move this turbine vent.

I think it's causing interference in our free-search field.

[O'Neill] How's that?

It's still not working, O'Neill.

Where's captain Bridger?

Looking for me, commander?

Where have you been?

I mean, hello! How are you?

How are you?

I'm fine. Where have you been?

I got in late, so I took a look at the boat and got some sleep.

Where's Lucas?

He's resting. He's had a tough summer. How was your vacation?

Excellent. I took a course

in the fractal theories of cold fusion.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

Don't ever change, Jonathan.

I wasn't planning on it.

[O'Neill] How's that?

Oh, that's great, O'Neill.

[O'Neill] Glad to have you back, captain.

See that? I come aboard,

and it starts ticking like a Swiss watch.

Oh, we have to be in New York for dinner.

Well, we got plenty of time.

I'm in the wardroom interviewing new officers.

Don't flush the toilet.

Last time it was used, it flooded the galley.

It seems our Swiss watch

isn't quite water-resistant yet.

It's just a shakedown cruise, Jonathan. Relax.

[Crash]

[Ortiz] Oh!

I can't move it!

We're going to need some help, captain.

Let's go get them.

[Computer] Warning. Structural collapse, section "d."

[Man] Hang in there, O'Neill.

[O'Neill] Oh!

Come on!

I can't breathe!

Lift it.

[Man] Let's get a Jack in here.

Stand back. Stand back.

I can help.

No. There's no room. No. Go.

Hey.

Captain!

Easy, O'Neill.

[Bridger] You can let that down now.

Where?

Anywhere you want, pal.

[O'Neill] Who's that?

That's dagwood. He's a g.E.L.F.

[Ortiz] A dagger?

Hey! He saved my life.

Thanks.

O.k.

I am a dagger...

The prototype.

[Ford] Can we keep him?

I hope so. It's up to him.

What do you say?

Like I said before, sir, captain, sir,

everything works out in some way.

It would be...

Good.

Let's get you to med-bay.

Aye, sir.

[Turns off satellite dish]

[Beep]

This is lieutenant Brody. We have a code red!

Repeat, code red security breach!

Repeat, this is lieutenant Brody. We have a code red.

Does anybody hear me?

[Alarm sounding]

[Computer] Escape pod activated.

[Computer] Launch sequence engaged.

3, 2, 1.

Our future!

Our freedom!

[Cheering]

This is an s.O.S.

Emergency beacon 1793c5.

Repeat, this is an s.O.S. Beacon 1793c5.

Do you read?

This is lieutenant James Brody.

G.e.l.f. Colony in revolt.

Emergency beacon 1793c5.

Is anybody out there?

How's it going?

I'm finding everything we need to know.

[Door buzzes]

They got a restaurant here?

I could go for some eggs Benny.

You got a boat to catch.

Hey, what's the chance of you flatheads letting me

catch a wave or two before I start my new career?

Two chances: Zero, never, and none.

Let me guess. You were a math major, right?

You got a lot of attitude, piccolo. I'll give you that.

Yeah, and it comes in two sizes: Extra large and "oh, my god."

Heredity, Jack. My old man was n.Y.P.D.

Yeah, you must have made him real proud.

Who knows? He took off with my aunt

after they shook down a pretzel vendor in the east village.

Sounds like a very classy guy.

Yeah. The relatives are loaded with it.

Every Christmas, we decorated the family tree with our arrest warrants.

But hey, what are holidays for, right?

Piccolo, do you ever shut up?

Only under water, sir.

[Man] We have the hostages.

We make our demands.

That was the agreement. That was our plan.

Everything's changed now, Joseph.

They made us to fight,

but now we can be fathers and mothers.

Let's lead our children into the future without fear.

You forget too quickly, Joseph.

I'm sorry for that.

Don't feel sorry for me, Mariah...Ever.

I would rather fight and die

than live like this again...

In a zoo like an animal!

I won't leave my daughter.

We'll talk to the ueo. They'll listen this time. They have to.

We have their men. That's leverage, Dave.

No.

This is leverage.

I'm sorry, Joseph.

See who will join us, David.

Oh! I'm sorry. This must be the wrong place.

I'm always doing that.

Doing what?

Going to the wrong place when I'm supposed to be in another place.

But then it usually turns out to be the right place after all.

Do it all the time.

You do?

Yeah. When I was a kid,

they thought it was just luck, intuition,

and then, you know, the big bugga-bugga.

I could have made a fortune in Vegas.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no. I'm... I'm mesmerized.

I know. Where can I find captain Bridger?

Bridger?

Mm-hmm.

He's me.

You're captain Bridger?

I thought you'd be older.

I'm working on it.

Oh, but older's good.

I mean, my father, he's older.

He's much older, but I like that in a dad.

I'm a traditionalist myself.

You must be...

[Computer beeping]

Dr. Smith.

Yes.

Sit down.

Thank you.

But please, call me Wendy.

Well, not yet.

There's no need to be so formal.

We're going to be on this ship a long time, Nathan.

It's captain.

And it's not a ship. It's a boat.

A boat is a vessel that can be carried on a ship,

and seaquest is too big, so therefore, it's a ship...

Captain. Third-generation Navy.

My mother is admiral Lexington Fisher Smith.

Sexy lexy Smith is your mother?

Not if you ask my father. Ha ha ha!

She...

She fired me from my first assignment.

Still a little angry, are we, captain?

What's that? Psycho-babble?

I only took my residency in psychiatry.

My Ph.D. is biophysics.

My passion is parapsychology.

I can bend keys and spoons. I can read minds.

You can read minds and you didn't know I was the captain?

Well, it's a bit like golf. Some days you just can't putt.

You're thinking this girl's as smart and pretty as her mother,

but man, what a mouth.

[Chuckles]

Hole in one, huh, captain?

[Beeping]

Sorry, sir.

It's no problem.

It might be. We have a military police launch

requesting permission to board.

Did you check with security?

They checked out, sir.

Open the launch bay.

Uh, we'll have to continue this at another time.

Well, it was a pleasure.

My mother told me you were a bit, uh, pretentious,

but I hardly noticed.

Oh, thanks.

Nice to meet you, captain.

You were lucky to catch up with us.

You have no idea.

I need 3 signatures on the bottom.

"Prisoner early release program."

Why seaquest?

He's an experimental.

Ueo is placing hardship cases

in places where they, uh,

they think they'll do the most good.

What's he like?

Oh, he's a little rough around the edges,

but he's got a very healthy attitude.

Bring him down.

Thanks, captain.

And, hey, good luck with the new boat, huh?

Thank you.

I'm captain Bridger.

Seaman Anthony piccolo, sir.

At ease, seaman.

Thanks.

Hey, nice digs.

What were you in for?

Armed robbery. I held up a health-food restaurant

with a slice of pizza.

Come on, cap, that's a joke.

Striking an officer.

Relax. He had it coming.

Anyplace to get a beer on this tug?

Why don't you shove that tough-guy routine back in your pocket?

No can do, cap. That's my gig.

Ah!

Later, cap.

Security, we got a prisoner loose here!

[Alarm sounding]

Full ahead. Stop him.

Prisoner headed your way. Corridor 17.

Look out! Look out!

Follow him!

Come on, Jonathan. We'll cut him off at the "c" deck.

Captain, you're not going to believe it,

but I got this guy swimming through the aqua tunnels.

I give up.

What is that thing?

It's a dolphin. I give everybody

on this boat a second chance,

but you're pushing it.

What the hell are you trying to do? Kill yourself?

No. I'm fine. I was just trying to get out to the ocean.

Without oxygen?

Come on. I'm an experimental.

When I was in the can, they asked for volunteers.

I raised my hand. That's how I got out early.

What is he talking about?

No idea.

This is what I'm talking about.

I got gills.

I'm a surfer. I figured they might come in handy.

Where are we going?

Ueo headquarters. When you want to slay the dragon, David,

you go straight for its heart.

[Bridger] It's part of growing up.

Yeah. Can't I grow up in private?

This kid is a hardship case.

He should have a role model.

What about Ortiz, huh? He got to pick his own roommate.

What about me? I've got a room of my own.

Maybe I should take him in.

Make the best of it.

Great.

Hey, girls.

Whoa! Hey.

Hey, kid, these yours?

Yes, they're mine.

And the name is Lucas wolenczak.

Whoa. Lucas wolen what? Let's settle for Luke.

Tony piccolo. You really listen to this stuff?

If you don't like it, don't listen to it.

O.k.

What did you do in here?

What is this?

What? The place needed serious babe-ing up.

Well, use your imagination, huh?

Hey, that's good. Maybe you're o.K. After all.

But a little visual stimulation never hurt anybody.

And, uh, this is my bunk.

Oh, yeah. Dream on.

I will... From up here.

I got a large lung capacity,

and I ain't gonna waste it

breathing the bottom of your mattress.

Hand me the tape, will ya?

[O'Neill] Captain, I've got a ueo distress beacon.

1397c5. Very weak.

What's the location?

I'm having trouble with my locators.

Well, keep on it.

Aye, sir.

Told you this would happen, but you insisted

that we wire the p-12 connectors directly into the patch bay.

That's because we couldn't wire them anywhere but the patch bay.

You wanted to go to the parade.

I'll reroute through my console.

That should shortcut the patch bay.

[Ford] Guess it helps to be the daughter of a solar station jockey.

Yes, sir. I learned a lot from my father.

Uh-oh. I, uh, thought we got rid of this.

Uh, we did, sir. I mean, you did.

I mean, I'm sorry.

It's sort of good luck, if you know what I mean.

You've had this thing a long time, haven't you?

Yes, sir. Since I was 5.

And he's not a thing, sir.

Remember? His name is Addison.

Addison.

We could use a little good luck on this boat.

[Beep]

There. That should work now.

Try it now, O'Neill.

[O'Neill] Got it. Beacon at 3,200 kilometers,

0-6-niner, south southwest.

Let's go.

[Helicopter]

[Ford] O.K., we have the capsule in sight.

Going in to check it out.

[Banging]

He appears to be o.K. We're going to try and open the hatch.

Are you o.K., soldier?

Just throw in a couple of vid-disks,

and who needs company?

Humor under pressure. I'm impressed.

Commander Jonathan Ford, ueo, seaquest.

Lieutenant Jim Brody.

Uh, forgive me for not saluting, sir,

but my arms fell asleep.

[Bridger] Were there any casualties?

I had to get out of there pretty fast, sir.

The g.E.L.F. Population has lived peacefully

ever since they were first created.

Not for the last 6 months or so.

Things have been changing around there.

I don't know. Subtle things.

It's hard to describe.

But they're artists and dancers.

They were bred to be warriors.

[Bridger] Wait a minute.

In the North Korean crisis,

you were the lieutenant Brody that led the stealth invasion.

Yes, sir, but it's not something I like to brag about.

No, no, no. That was a nifty piece of work.

I'll be in my quarters.

So, what's the prognosis?

Will I live?

Not long enough to get me in the back seat of your '99 trident

and have me-- what was it?

Check out your transmission?

Grow up, lieutenant.

Did--did I say anything?

The secretary general has given me authority.

I need seaquest, and I need her now.

Seaquest may be ready for a parade,

but she's not ready for active duty.

Make her ready.

We'll miss the parade.

Forget the parade!

No parade.

Commander?

[Ford] Yes, sir?

Bring her around, bearing 280, engines full ahead.

Aye, captain.

Nathan, take all and any necessary action.

There are still hostages on that island.

I'm aware of your predilection

for Harmony and understanding,

but these...

There's no way to attempt

understanding or reconciliation

with something that came out of a test tube.

If you have to blow that island to hell and back,

do it.
