hey! You guys better come up with another song soon,

or I'll fly us into a cliff.

Feeling hostile, are we,

because we only got a 62 on our final exam?

How can you flunk a woman

in a sexual harassment seminar?

Maybe "been there, done that,

I know where to kick them next time"

was too brief an answer for the exam essay.

If the bureau of personnel

thinks I'm spending another week retaking that stupid course,

they're out of their minds.

[Siren wailing] You hear that?

Hear what?

Sounds like a distress beacon.

I think the battery's dying.

It's malfunctioning.

They're broadcasting coordinates from halfway around the planet.

[Lucas] What's its identifier?

Um, ueo endeavor.

The endeavor?

Isn't that Marcus rawlings' ship?

Yeah.

He discovered the Hemingway trench.

If he's in trouble, that signal's right.

He's halfway around the world.

The signal's coming from right below us.

Lucas, pinpoint the source.

Tim, you'd better call it in.

This is ueo shuttle 4600-2

calling seaquest dsv.

Ueo shuttle 4600-2

calling seaquest dsv. Over.

Tim, is that you?

You're breaking up. Tim?

[Tim] Seaquest dsv...

Tim, say again.

1, 2...

Tim, can you read me?

[Static]

We're getting close to that signal.

Strap in.

The thermal's getting a little turbulent.

Jeez, a little turbulent?

Seen it like this before?

Not exactly.

Lucas, can you help with the throttles?

How strong's the downflow?

22 meters... And increasing.

22 a minute? No. A second.

You've gotta break off.

I'm trying.

I've got thrusters on full lift,

but we're still corkscrewing in.

Oh, man! Pressure hole's stressing!

Go to emergency oxygen!

I can't reach my mask.

Jim!

You're cool. You're cool.

I got you covered.

Mayday! Mayday!

This is ueo shuttle 4600-2.

We have an uncontrolled descent

at GPS block 12009.

Does anyone read? Over.

Oh, my god.

What is that?

Mayday! Mayday!

We have an uncontrolled descent

in GPS block 12009.

Does anyone read? Over.

[Lucas] The sea floor's drawing us in!

Hang on. I can't stop it.

Into your hands, o lord, I commend my soul.

Give me full power to the bow thrusters!

You've got it.

The pressure hull's gonna blow!

Keep it off the walls!

I'm trying! Give me everything you've got!

We're entering a cavern.

It's widening out.

Steer for the ledge! Can you see it?

I'm on it!

Hang on! We're gonna crash!

Oh!

Ah!

The water's draining away.

Test the air.

Secure your systems.

We can breathe the air.

Everyone else o.K.?

Yeah, I think so.

I think I broke my leg.

What?

[Thump thump]

[Thump]

[Thump]

[Thump]

Something's on the roof.

Come on.

[Thumping]

You're a man.

Yes...

Marcus rawlings.

I'm sorry to make your acquaintance.

Where are we?

10 miles beneath the earth's mantle...

Though exactly where, I'm not too sure.

That's what remains of my dive pod over there.

Why are you sorry to meet us?

Because judging from the condition of your submersible,

I'd say we're all gonna die down here together.

Captioning made possible by universal television, national broadcasting company,

and kvue-tv/grantsmanship

They're too far away and too deep to pinpoint.

They could be anywhere along a 100 kilometer stretch of ocean.

Any chance of your picking something up?

I've been trying,

but they must be out of range...Assuming...

Assuming what?

I haven't been able to pick up anything at all.

I mean, unless they're in a lead-lined isolation chamber...

I should at least be sensing they're alive.

Captain.

I'm not entertaining the idea that they could be dead.

We've already rigged a rescue pack to the stinger.

You find them, we'll bring them in,

no matter what it takes.

Thank you.

I intend to bring them in.

Ortiz, spread your w.S.K.R.S. Out on as broad a plane as possible.

McKay, better come and replace Henderson at the helm.

Piccolo, you assist.

We're gonna follow the center line of their course.

And we'd better do it quickly,

because they're running out of air.

[Henderson] There you go. O.K.

Easy. Easy.

Take it easy.

All right. Carry on.

O.k.

Going up.

[Henderson] Good. Good.

[O'Neill] Slow.

Yeah.

Rawlings, give me a hand.

[Rawlings] Put your arm over my shoulder.

1, 2, 3, down.

Easy. Easy.

You got him?

All right.

Take it easy.

Hang on a sec. I'll prop his head up.

O.k.

I'll try and get the radio working.

How did you end up down here?

Too much curiosity

and not enough common sense.

I had a theory there were tunnel ways

penetrating the earth's mantle.

It was the only explanation

for the tectonic action I was mapping

and the anomalies in sea life.

That's why you were charting the Hemingway trench.

Yes. I was looking for a way in.

When I finally found it, I had no warning.

I was at 10,000 meters

approaching the epicenter of seismic activity,

and suddenly I was being sucked in.

Just like us.

I had a longer ride.

I've been here for three days.

My pod was armored,

but I've lost everything mounted,

including my propulsion units.

The water surges back and forth down here,

just like old faithful.

That would make sense.

Debris is sucked off the ocean floor

until it clogs up the tunnel opening,

shutting off the water flow.

Then when the water's superheated

down in the lower layer of the mantle,

it comes blasting up again.

It certainly matches what I've seen.

So, on the last blast to the surface,

you launched your distress buoy?

Yeah.

Even though you knew

the water flow was going to reverse

and anyone answering your signal

would be sucked in like you?

Was I supposed to die down here in silence?

You could have reprogrammed the buoy

to include a warning signal.

I didn't have the time.

Is that so? Or were you afraid

that someone wouldn't reach you?

Hey, hey. Can we calm down here?

I'm perfectly calm.

Well, I'm not.

How long till that water comes back?

10, maybe 15 hours.

We can try surviving in my pod, but--

but what?

I'm out of oxygen.

Each time the water sweeps through,

it carries my pod deeper underground.

Then we'd better get moving.

Let's see what we can do about that shuttle.

Uh...

Dr. Rawlings,

you didn't mention one thing.

What created these caverns?

If I knew, I'd tell you.

I'm pretty sure about one thing, though.

What's that?

They weren't caused by any natural geological process.

We're approaching the outer boundary

of where they might have disappeared.

Let's double the crew

on the communication and sensor stations.

If anybody picks up anything,

call it out.

Or senses anything.

O.k. Don't be shy.

Don't be embarrassed to be wrong.

You got it, sir.

O.k., people. Do something.

Tell me where you are.

The radio signal's bouncing right off the walls.

We're in the ultimate isolation chamber.

Got any more distress buoys up your sleeve?

I don't even have a bottle to stuff a message in.

Believe me, I've looked.

Not that it would help.

The only way to get a buoy out of here

is to wait till the water comes back in.

That'll be too late.

Unless we ride it out of here.

What?

Think about it, guys.

He's got this armored pod we can cram into.

There's just no way to steer it.

Or an oxygen supply.

No, but we do.

The shuttle's busted,

but the oxygen generator is still working.

We have the shuttle's thrusters.

Can you attach the thrusters to the pod?

If Henderson has the tools,

we can put this thing together.

There wasn't anything on my dad's solar farm

that wasn't jury-rigged.

You work out a design, I'll bang it together.

I knew there was a reason I asked to be your roommate.

All right, people. Let's get moving, huh?

[Faint beeping]

Hey.

Do you guys hear that?

You getting something on the radio?

Um...

No.

No, it's not on the radio.

I can feel it.

It's something low-pitched.

It's too soon for the water.

It's gotta be.

We gotta get in the pod.

No, wait.

Something's coming.

What do you mean?

I mean, something's coming.

Look.

What is it?

Wh-what is it?

[Lucas] It's a giant worm.

Fall back!

Grab what you can and get in the dive pod!

Henderson, help O'Neill!

Brody!

[Roars]

Help me!

What are you doing?

Fighting fire with fire.

Come on!

It's working.

It's backing up.

Look out!

You did it, Brody.

Fast thinking.

Yeah, I guess it was.

So...that's where the tunnels came from.

I'd say we're in the running for the nobel prize.

Too bad it's not awarded posthumously.

Brody.

Brody?

How did we come through?

Uh...

I'm not sure.

The electrical and propulsion units are o.K.,

but the oxygen generator's toast.

And, uh...

There's no air left in the tanks.

All we have left

is the oxygen in the emergency units?

Yeah.

About five minutes apiece.

When that water comes rolling back in here...

We're history.

We're at the end of the search path.

We should at least have spotted some wreckage.

That may be good.

If there's no wreckage,

the shuttle may be intact.

We could have just passed by

and not sensed anything, right?

It happens, especially when my emotions are involved.

Ortiz, you said it sounded like

they were trying to send an urgent message, right?

Yes, sir.

All right. Let's do this.

We'll correlate every call in the area--

emergency, disappearing ships,

renegade submarines--

anything.

You got it.

And, McKay,

take us back to the search zone-- very slowly.

We'll go over every centimeter of the ocean floor,

see if we can find any impact zone,

cliffs they could be sheltered under--

anything at all.

[Sighs]

You're right.

The oxygen's out.

Totally dry.

So, we're all gonna die.

Well...

Maybe not.

We've still got the propulsion units

and Henderson's tools.

With luck, we can have that pod ready to sail

before the water comes back.

Except we won't have any oxygen.

We still have the four emergency masks...

Which makes sense

because there's only room for four people in the pod.

And what do we do about the fifth person?

We hope they're still alive when the rescue party returns.

They won't be.

Now that creature's trashed it,

the shuttle won't survive the next flooding.

That doesn't change the mathematics.

There's no way to get five people out of here alive.

So who stays?

Let's get this thing ready

and figure that out later.

We can't rebuild the pod

with that hanging over our heads.

We've got to decide now.

Guys...

Whatever happened to all for one and one for all?

It isn't in the math.

Look at our body masses

and the travel time to the surface.

The oxygen just isn't there.

So...

We have to make a choice.

I can think of one way of making the cut.

How's that?

The guy who got us into this could get us out.

He had a right to call for help.

We're not objective enough

to decide he should have done it any differently.

Besides, we're going to be using his pod.

Jim, under maritime law,

we have to save the civilians first.

Let me make this easier on you.

I'm no more a civilian in that sense than Lucas is.

I'm not going to claim any special status.

So there's only one thing left to do.

We have to ask for a volunteer.

And...

No offense intended...

But...besides the fact that I'm injured,

I also happen to believe in an afterlife...

With more faith, I think, than any of you.

So, um...

It ought to be me.

No. No, no, no.

We're not taking advantage of your faith.

If we need a volunteer, then...

Then I'm the senior guy.

The shuttle isn't a ship.

You don't have to go down with it.

There's only one way to do this

that's fair and mathematical.

What's that?

A lottery.

We work together to get this thing going,

and then we hold the drawing.

Is that fair enough?

Yeah...

Fair enough.

Good.

Let's get this thing working.

In the meantime, you can pray that they find us

so we never have to pick a name.

Bridger searching for Darwin's friends?

Yes, we are.

Got any bright ideas?

Let Darwin search.

Give Darwin air pack.

No, no. We're going much too fast for that.

You come back later.

I will eat fish.

You believe this guy?

I said it wasn't a very good idea.

Wait a minute. Are you sure it's not?

What?

Maybe Darwin could spot something.

I mean, he's better equipped than any of our w.S.K.R.S.

Or are you afraid of losing him, too?

No. It's not that.

It's not.

We don't know what happened to that shuttle.

It makes sense that it could happen to Darwin, too.

I wouldn't blame you for fearing that.

Listen, my friend.

Do you know how dangerous this is, huh?

Darwin not afraid.

Darwin famous shark fighter.

Ha ha. I know you're a famous shark fighter.

I'm not afraid of sharks-- only humans.

Darwin not afraid.

Darwin find friends.

Give me air pack.

Bridger, give me air pack!

O.k.

You got it.

But I want you to remember something.

You'd better be careful.

I want you to bring them and yourself back alive.

How much torque is this designed to take?

10,000 Newtons.

Good enough.

Can you give me a hand?

Sure.

What were you thinking

when you were trapped down there all alone?

That there'd be a woman on the rescue team

as beautiful as you.

Give me a break.

Ever try that line before?

Yeah, actually, once.

On top of Everest.

Did it work?

I think so.

Of course it was 50 below,

so it was hard to tell.

I'm not even sure it was a woman.

How can you be so calm at a time like this?

Well...

Practice makes perfect.

I know.

What is it?

Are you one of those guys

who thinks his number's never going to be up?

I wish I was. I'd sleep better at night.

So, uh...

What do you believe?

That life's an illusion,

if it has any meaning at all.

Is that, uh...

Is that something you thought of

on top of Everest, too?

No. My sherpa guide did.

Are you o.K.?

No.

I can't believe i'm getting an anxiety attack.

I always thought I'd be the last person on earth

to feel--

I've never been this scared before.

Look...

Would you, uh...

Just hold me for a second, huh?

Until the shakes go away?

Hey.

Ever design a submarine before?

Ah, sure, 10 or 15 times.

It was always on the back of place mats

in a restaurant.

Where's Henderson?

Uh, she's attaching the last thruster

with rawlings.

You know...

Maybe this would be a good time to tell her.

It might be your last chance.

Tell her what?

That you have a crush on her.

What makes you think I do?

Instinct.

So what do you say?

Well, uh...

If they're attaching those thrusters,

it may be a good time

to test that pod

before that dragon worm

or the water comes back.

It's gonna be morning soon.

If they're near us, they're probably sleeping.

Sometimes it's easier to break through then.

I'm gonna try another scan.

Here you go.

So, what do you think?

The government really need

to pay all those engineers

to build these things for us,

or could we really have done it ourselves?

Only one way to find out.

Powering up now.

O.k. Stand clear.

Firing.

They're working! They're working!

Yeah!

Firing perfectly!

Well done.

Great job, man. You did it.

Yeah.

There's only one more thing to do

before the water comes.

We've got to hold the lottery.

Oh, boy.

Five wires.

One of them is short.

So who wants to go first?

Hey, with my luck,

I'll save you all trouble

and draw the short one now.

That's a long one.

Congratulations.

O.k., Lucas. I'll take my try.

Why am I never this lucky at cards?

Want to take your shot?

Ladies first.

It's better odds.

Actually...

The odds are the same for everybody.

The short wire could have turned up first

as easily as last.

Yeah.

Somehow it never seems that way,

does it?

What, another long one?

What is this, some kind of joke?

No.

There was just as much of a chance

that the last wire would be the short one

as the first one.

It's just the mathematics.

I mean, this isn't fair, man. It's--

it's not fair?

Why not?

I worked out the system, and it nailed me.

What could be more fair?

Come on. Let's do 2 out of 3.

No. It's done. It's finished.

I've picked the short wire.

Just, uh...

Just leave me alone.

O.k.

Let me hear them.

Let me find them.

Sure you want to be alone?

I was just thinking...

That this is gonna be o.K.

I mean, this is, uh, the...

Ultimate experiment, isn't it?

But I'm sure something will happen,

and...I'll get out o.K.

But if it doesn't, at least it'll...

Answer all my questions about...

Death.

You and I have the two lightest body masses here.

We could share a breather, Lucas.

We'd still have a chance.

No.

I know my mathematics,

and you'll be trapped in that pod

with too little oxygen as it is.

To make it to the surface would be a miracle.

If we share a breather,

we'll just both die.

I don't like this mathematics stuff.

I know.

It's like a curse.

But the numbers always tell the truth.

Isn't there anything you want, Lucas?

Something from the supplies?

Everyone's dessert from the survival rations?

Or, uh...

Or me to be with you?

Be with me?

Uh...

Just hold me.

Just help me get to sleep.

O'Neill?

Brody?

Henderson?

Call out to me. Tell me where you are.

Lucas?

[Lucas] Just hold me.

Lucas, I can hear you.

Lucas.

Just help me get to sleep.

Listen to me. Tell me where you are, Lucas.

Lucas?

Lucas?

They're alive.

They're alive.

[Water rushing in]

Wake up.

Wake up.

The water's coming. Come on.

Are you sure?

Yes. I could feel Lucas,

though he couldn't hear me.

We have to be near them.

Stop all engines.

What are you getting on your sensors?

Nothing, sir.

Darwin, we're getting close to our friends.

Have you heard anything, seen anything?

No. But water taste strange.

Strange? What do you mean?

Wrong ocean. Too much salt.

What do you think he means?

Beats me, but Marcus rawlings was reported lost

in the Hemingway trench three days ago,

and the trench has a much higher salt content.

That's 5,000 miles away, too.

Where are you, Darwin? Exactly.

Toward the rising sun. Hour swim. Water strange.

You think there's any connection between these disappearances?

I don't know. It's outside the search area.

Well, something took the shuttle

outside the search area, too.

I'm putting my money on Darwin and Smith.

Let's go to condition 3, Ortiz.

Condition 3. Condition 3.

All hands man your stations.

Stand by, rescue and assistance detail.

Bearing 090. All ahead full.

Where's rawlings?

Wasn't he with you?

No!

Get in! Where are you going? Come on!

Lucas! Lucas! Are you there?

Lucas!

What are you doing?

Contemplating the meaning of life in the shuttle.

What?

Take my place, Lucas.

You won it, rawlings, fair and square.

I prefer free will to mathematics.

You're younger than I am, Lucas,

and you'll be a better scientist

and probably a better man

because the truth is, I lured you all here.

Look, we'll send a rescue party!

You do that.

Will you give a moving speech to the media

about how self-sacrificing I was?

It'll drive all my ex-girlfriends crazy.

Button it up! Seal it!

Rawlings.

Rawlings!

Rawlings!

Come on! Come on!

Buckle it in!

All right! Launching now!

We've got to take the tunnel square,

or we're gonna crash!

I'm on it now!

Hang on!

Here we go!

I'm picking up a strange noise.

It sounds like a volcano.

Head for the source of that sound.

Darwin, come back inside right now.

How's my fuel?

Running low!

Throttle me back, Lucas! Make it last!

Tim, you all right?

His air's run out!

How far to the surface?

We've got to be near!

Breathe this! Take it in! Breathe it in!

We've lost a thruster!

Oh, god, what do I do now?

Just hold on!

Contact. Contact dead ahead.

Interruption from the sea floor.

Any sign of the shuttle?

I'm scanning.

I can't control it!

We're not gonna make the surface!

I'm out of air!

Here. Breathe this! Just breathe it!

All right?

Damn it! We came so close!

Target. Metal sphere bearing to port 2,000 yards.

Looks like a dive pod breaking up.

All ahead emergency.

Prepare the grapnels.

Range 1,200 meters.

1,100...

1,000.

Target in range.

Grapnels...fire.

What's that?

Here.

It's a grapnel.

It's a magnetic grapnel.

Seaquest has got us.

Just hold on.

We got them hooked.

No one's answering our hail.

Reel them in fast. Let's go.

Come on, piccolo.

Oh, yes. They're home.

We were so worried about you.

You all right?

I think so.

I got you.

Watch his leg.

We'll get you into med bay.

What about you?

I'm fine.

What's docked at the second port?

The stinger with a rescue pack.

The stinger? That could make it.

The stinger could make it.

What do you mean?

What is he talking about?

We left somebody behind.

Who?

Marcus rawlings.

Rawlings.

Lucas! Wait a minute! Stop him!

All hands, secure access to dive port 2.

All hands, secure access to dive port 2.

Lucas, what are you doing?

I've got a friend that's trapped down there.

Come on. Let me go.

No. Friends are important,

and I'm your friend,

so I will go with you.

No. You'll just die with me down there.

Better than dying alone.

O.k. Come on. Let's go.

Lucas, wait!

All right. Get it open.

I can't. He cycled the outer doors.

Lucas, don't do this.

I'm sorry, but I won't let rawlings die.

Launching...

Now.

You can't help him.

I've got to try.

Give me the telemetry to the tunnel

so I have a chance? Please?

Ortiz, guide him in.

O.k., Lucas.

Turn right 21 degrees.

Steady.

You're on course.

The mouth of the tunnel is coming up.

O.k.

Hold on, dagwood.

Here we go.

O.k. I've got it. I've got it.

I've just got to keep off the walls.

I wouldn't hit the rocks if I were you.

What? Whoa!

O.k., captain. We've got a lot of debris here.

We're 3 clicks into the tunnel,

coming up on 4.

Everything's holding together.

What happened?

The stinger's in too deep.

We lost the signal.

O.k. Brace yourself.

I'm going to make a hard dock.

Rawlings! Where are you?

Oh, god. Here.

Get out of here!

Come on! Help me!

The dragon worm's back in the bottom of the cave!

We got to get him back into the stinger.

Lucas.

Lucas, can you read me?

Lucas!

Yeah. We're going with the flow, captain.

We've got company.

What is that?

Target lasers.

Lucas, prepare to break to port.

Lasers up.

Break...

Now.

Fire.

Yes! Yes, it worked. He's clear.

Ha ha!

Lucas, can you read me?

Are you o.K.?

We're all right.

And we're coming home.

Shuttle mr-4 is clear...

Shuttle's ready to take you home.

Thank you, captain. Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Before I go and give all these interviews to the media,

I'd like to ask you one thing.

Yeah.

Why'd you come back for me?

Well, some people say

that what you send around comes around.

I just wanted to prove that was true.

You ever need anything, just ask.

Uh, there is one thing, actually.

When you give all those interviews to the media--

yeah?

Tell them how self-sacrificing I was.

Maybe it'll get me a girlfriend.

Everybody o.K.?

Everything's fine, right back to normal.

Glad to hear it.

Your orders, sir?

Move us out, commander. Move us out.

Hi. I'm Marco Sanchez.

Question--

what's the difference between a sea lion and a seal?

Although they're from the same family called pinnipeds,

there's some big differences,

the most obvious in their flippers.

A sea lion has flippers that are long and wing-like.

The sea lions are considered more social and more vocal.

It's their long, almost fierce roars

that have given them the name sea lions.

[Roar]

See you on the next adventure of seaquest.
