[John F. Kennedy]
It's because we
all came from the sea,

and it is an interesting
biological fact

that all of us have
in our veins

the exact same percentage
of salt in our blood

that exists in the ocean.

And therefore, we have
salt in our blood,

in our sweat, in our tears.

We are tied to the ocean.

And when we go back
to the sea,

whether it is to sail
or to watch,

we are going back
from whence we came.

Jenny, they're firing
at me!

Jenny, answer me!

Say your prayers,
reef runner.
There's no escape.

Firing!

Whoa!

Reloading.

Reef runner to home plate!
Come in!

Jenny, come on,
pick up! Jenny!

Home plate to reef runner,
go ahead.

Jenny, it's Bobby!

Bobby! Where
have you been?

Just open the main
air lock. I'm coming in.

I've got two hornets
on my tail.

Boy, your time
is at hand!

Hold your fire till
we clear the refinery.

Come on!

Oh!

Lock on target.

It's locking!

Fire!

Jenny, start closing
the main air lock now!

You're not through yet!

Just close it!
Start closing it right now!

Think thin, Bobby boy.

Disengage. Let's call
in the big guns.

Hey!

Whew! Jenny!
I thought those
hornets had me.

Your timing
with those doors--

you were prospecting

over the territorial
line again.

No way.

Well, maybe a little.
But everybody does it!

I've got--i had some
great magnesium samples.

Where's Earl?

With everyone else,
out battening down
the perimeter.

There was a skirmish

near the northern
marker this morning.

What happened?

You know better
than to jackrabbit

another
confederation's border.

Those hornets
were just waiting

for an excuse to fire
on this facility.

Wait. Wait.

What is it?

It's those two
that chased you.

They're on their
home base satellite.

They're asking for
military intervention.

Every confederation has
attack subs lurking
outside these walls.

Once again, information
has reached earthcast news

that warrior submarines
from several economic
confederations

are converging on
the Livingston trench
in the north Atlantic.

Representatives
are frantically meeting,

trying to keep
the situation
from escalating...

The subs are trying
to reach their
upworld bases.

They want
the green light to fire.

What the hell--

what's wrong?

These parameter readings--

there's something down
in the trench.

There's nothing
that big out there--

except seaquest.

Captain, nor-pac command
is trying to get through.

It's breaking up,
heavy sat-link interference.

Keep trying, lieutenant.

Aye, sir.

Deploy w.S.K.R.S., Mr. Ortiz.
Narrow cone sweeps.

Feed data directly
to fire control.

W.s.k.r.s. Out.
Feeding data now.

Four plasma torpedoes,
charged and loaded.

Thank you, Mr. Phillips.

Captain, there's
still no message
from nor-pac command.

How many
of these standoffs

will we have before
someone makes a decision?

Don't they understand?

The only way to secure
peace is with strength.

This cat-and-mouse game
is going to go on forever.

Come around to 2-0-9
and hold her steady.

W.s.k.r. Data
coming in.

Five class "c" shooter subs.

Target status.

May I remind you--

not now, commander.
Mr. Ortiz.

All targets
78% vulnerability.

We're locked
in attack position.

Target grids.

Grids activated.

Captain,
I strongly recommend

we wait for clear orders
from nor-pac.

Clear orders?

Aren't you tired
of this game?

We aim at them,
they aim at us,

and the world stops.

Look at this boat.

We have the strength,
the advantage.

We can end this madness
once and for all,

doing what we
were trained to do.

Captain, orders are coming
in from nor-pac command.

Do not fire.
Repeat--do not fire.

The other subs are receiving
similar orders.

Mr. Phillips, initiate
firing sequence.

Mr. Phillips.

Thermonuclear warhead arming
sequence initiated.

Confirm authorization.

Confirmed.

Thermonuclear launch
authorized.

Captain stark,

under article 20,
section 8 of nor-pac
command regulations...

I'm relieving you
of command.

Stay with me, now.

6 miles.

Commander Ford.

Noyce.

Commander.

How's seaquest's refit
coming?

We're a few days
ahead of schedule.

I'll bet
you're looking forward

to getting back
into the water.

Six months is
a long time, sir.

The brass is under
intense pressure
from the political powers

to find someone
to captain her

who's not considered
strictly military.

Someone who commands
respect outside the ranks.

And only one man meets
that qualification

but can still
shoot when he has to.

And...he'll never take
the job.

Nathan Bridger.
He was one of my heroes.

What makes you think
we'll get him back?

I served with him
for 30 years.

You live and breathe
Navy that long,

it never gets
out of your blood.

I can get him here.
That part doesn't worry me.

It's keeping him.

The incident
at Livingston trench

had us all staring
down the barrel
at the same time.

It was terrifying.

It was bad
for everybody,

but you had
the hardest task.

Relieving a superior
officer of duty

is a horrible thing
to have to do.

You handled it with
a great deal of courage.

However...

It's nothing
compared to the pain

I'm about to ask you
to suffer.

Jonathan, I need you
to be prepared

to appear arrogant,

incompetent, even cowardly.

To be everything a commander
shouldn't.

It may be the only way
to persuade him
to assume command.

Sir--
it's all in there.

I got to run.

I know you
can handle it.

Don't let me down,
Jonathan.

[Chirping]

Excuse me.

Pardon me.

So sorry.

Captain Bridger?

Bridger--there's one

on the other side
of the island.

Goes to work early.
You may have
to hurry.

That is
a very nice outfit.

Nathan Bridger,

we've come at the request
of ueo command.

Who?

The united earth oceans
organization.

Doesn't ring a bell.

But I've been
out of touch.

Captain, we've gone
to great lengths--

I don't really know what
you people are selling,

but I'm really
not interested.

Now, why don't you do
yourselves a big favor

and get the hell
off my island?

Hello, Nathan.

Go home, bill.

Nathan, wait.

Will you just listen?

She's finished.

She's been operational
for three years.

Nathan!

Nathan, don't pretend
you don't care.

I know you do.

All right. Come on!

[Chirping]

Come on! Come on!

All right, Darwin,
me boy...

You know the routine.

Oh!

Don't be cute.

I'm in no mood.

Now listen.

You're going to go down...

1, 2, 3...

You're going to...
Tag the marker.

Tag the marker.

Go!

Go!

[Radio static]

Hand motion
communication.

It's not perfect,
but we understand
each other.

More than I can say
about you and me.

It was Carol who
got you interested
in this.

I heard about what happened.
I'm sorry.

She was a wonderful woman.

Yeah. How did you hear?

The Navy's not going to let
one of its most valuable

human resources
run to some island

and not keep tabs on him.

What ever happened
to privacy?

Last I looked,
the bill of rights
was still intact.

Everything's changed,
Nathan.

I've come halfway around
the world

to tell you about it.

Once the oceans became
a frontier for mining,

pharmaceuticals, farming, the
world became a dangerous place.

Undersea borders, nations
split into confederations

to protect their
territorial claims.

They hammered out
a peace treaty.

The united earth oceans
organization

was formed
to administer it.

It's different
out there now.

There's farms and colonies,
families.

Ueo needed a way
to maintain the situation.

That's why nor-pac gave
us the seaquest,

not as a warship,
as a peacekeeper.

What's the difference?

She's being refitted
to include a large
science contingent.

What for?

Research,
deep ocean exploration,

the largest deep-submergence
research vessel ever.

No way. That part
of my life is over.

Don't you understand
what I'm offering you?

Nathan,
you can't pass this up!

For god's sakes,
Carol is dead!

Let it go!

I won't!

I gave her my word.

I know how much
losing Robert hurt you,

how you blame yourself
for his joining the service.

I have kids.

Look around you, Nathan.
You're totally alone.

Don't you see how your
research, your passion,

could be used
aboard a ship

you poured
your life into?

Come see her.

Let me
at least show you

what I'm talking about.

O.k., let's go.

Stand clear of
docking-collar hatch.

Check for personal belongings.

Don't get
too full of yourself.

As soon as this
show-and-tell is over,

I'm out of here.

[Announcement in French]

...customs with inoculation
papers before proceeding.

[Announcement in Chinese]

Crew members please display
holographic I.D. Imprints.

That's not
too helpful.

You think these people

have heard about
your peacekeeping program?

They're going to be
a little touchy

about having these
science types
on board.

No offense.

Come on,
lots to see.

The last time
you saw her,

she was no more
than a keel

laid out
in a shipyard.

There's two complete decks
of science labs

and research facilities--

everything you could
ever want or need
is right here.

Who's footing the bill?

Grants, industry
contributions,

private donations.

Government?

Only through the ueo.

Mag-lev engaged.

Be seated
to avoid injury.

Nathan.

Please wait
for full stop.

Bridge.

Thank you
for riding mag-lev.

After you.

Admiral on the bridge.

As you were.

There was a time
when my future

was one of
boundless profits...

Petroleum from the deep seas
of international waters

and vital minerals
from the deep-sea trenches,

coral from the new-found
barrier reefs.

It..it was fantastic.

It was beautiful.

You just take. Ja?

Well...
Now we have the ueo,

and this is what
the ueo has left me,

and now
they want more even

in the name of peace
and Harmony.

What does peace and Harmony
have to do with business?

I don't know.

We have to do something
about the seaquest.

There's no competing
with seaquest.

No, my son,
mein kind,

I'm not talking
about competing
with the seaquest.

I'm talking about
getting rid of her.

What?

Ja.

The ship has lost
its leader.

And the crew...

The crew's
full of dreamers

and eggheads
and wannabes.

Not one ounce
of practical knowledge
in the whole group.

That's a fact. Ja.

And the result--

she's vulnerable.

Am I right,
captain stark?

You have the delta 4 submarine
at your disposal, ja?

The ship
is as good a ship

as any ship on, above,
or around the water.

I want you should
take out the seaquest.

What you need,
what you want,

I buy.

And when you've finished...

You will be rich.

So, tell me, captain...

How do we beat
the seaquest?

I've already
beaten seaquest.

What I want...

Is to be there
when she drowns.

That's good. Ja.

Ja. that's good.

Ja.

Can I help you?

No. No, thanks.

W.s.k.r.s.

Wireless sea knowledge
retrieval satellites.

We used to call them
roving periscopes.

How many w.S.K.R.S.
Are you operating
out of here?

We planned three--
one forward
and two aft.

Sir, this is a highly
restricted area.

This tourist
bothering you, Mr. Ortiz?

He's asking for
classified information.

Well, they really
scraped the bottom
of the barrel

for the crew
this time.

They did some digging
beneath that barrel, too.

What the hell is
that supposed to mean?

What that means
is that it's sure good
to see you again.

How are you?
It's been 10 years.

It's 12 at least.

Where you been?

Scuttlebutt had it
you'd gone bug-eyed--

you were making like Tarzan
on some desert island.

I don't think
I went deep enough
into the jungle.

Now you're
part of this
peacekeeping group.

You know the military.

To play the game,
you got to join
the team.

I was surprised, though,
when I got the call.

The call?

Yeah. From admiral noyce.

I was ready to turn in
my discharge papers

when he asked me back
as security chief.

I'm not sure what he wants
with an old war horse
like me onboard

with all these
academy pups.

He wanted the best crew
he could get.

Giving tours now, chief?

I don't like visitors
at my station.

Your station?

That's right.

If you want to
see some sights,

try the Arizona memorial.

What kind of security
clearance you got?

Indefinite?

Perhaps introductions
are in order here,
lieutenant,

before you swallow
your entire leg.

Katherine Hitchcock,
chief engineer,

this is Nathan Bridger,

captain Nathan Bridger.

How do you do?

It's a pleasure, sir.

You and I will have
a long talk later.

Yes, sir. I'll be
looking forward
to that.

Captain.

He's, uh, some guy,
isn't he?

Yes, sir, he's
a great guy.

Thank you.

You must know this boat
pretty well.

I'll put my knowledge
against anybody's.

I'm sure.

Hyper-reality probe.

That wasn't
in my original design.

With all due respect,

there's probably been
hundreds of changes
since you left.

I'd, uh, be happy
to give you a tour.

I'd like that.

Perhaps when I'm finished
over at the Arizona.

I guess all that talk
about him going native
was true.

You'd think the brass
would let us know.

Noyce was afraid
any kind of show
might scare him off.

You knew he was
coming onboard,

and you didn't
say anything?

Jonathan.

Ten-hut!

This was supposed to be
the missile prep room.

We pulled them out
after the treaty
was signed.

As you were.

And the forward
weapons room?

I won't lie to you.

This is still
a military vessel.

Not everybody
was satisfied

with the terms
of the treaty.

There are still
pockets of resistance.

Why all the science?

If the world
hangs in there,

and this thing
works out,

this could eventually
become a full-time
research vessel.

Why me?

We need a cool head,

someone who hasn't
been sitting

with their finger
on the trigger.

You understand
these science guys.

You speak
their language.

I told you
back at the island

I am not interested.

Nathan, just
listen to me.

Hey.

[Chirping]

Very funny.

You thought of it.

Thought of what?

A sub carrying
a Navy-trained
dolphin onboard.

The tubes I saw?

Yeah.
"Bridger's folly."

He has access
to the entire ship?

Just like
you designed it.

Hey, boy, come here.

Come on, come on.
Come here.

Darwin!

This is my dolphin.

I thought you'd enjoy
having him on board.

You talk peace,
but you act military.

You took him
for your own objective.

Now you're after me.

Both are not acceptable.

Easy, fella.

We'll have you
out of here
in no time.

[Electronic voice]
Darwin play.

What?

Darwin play here.

Who wants to play?

I think
he wants to play.

Smooth rocks.

He means the sides
of the tank.

I know what he means.

This is some kind
of a game, huh?

Oh, it's no game.

Cutting-edge technology.

Sensors in the tank
pick up the sighs,
clicks, and whistles.

The ship's computer
then interprets it,

translates it,

pumps it back
into these speakers...

Unless it fritzes out.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Lucas wolenczak,

Nathan Bridger.

Lucas designed
the system

that allows
Darwin to speak.

You're kidding.

You, uh,
seem surprised, captain,

or maybe just jealous.

Jealous?

I heard you were working
on a similar system
and gave up.

Switched to hand signals
or something?

So?

Nothing.

He can understand me?

Don't ask me.

Ask him.

All right, I will.

Darwin...

How did we meet?

Darwin hurt.

Island help.

Well?

I found him
floating in a lagoon,

cut up by
a fisherman's net.

Wait a minute.

Darwin...

What's the color
of my favorite
bathing suit?

No suit.

Skin.

He's right.
I don't wear a suit.

Thanks for painting
that picture for us.

I hate to break up
this little seminar,

but I got to go,

or should I say...

Impressive, isn't he?

I have other words
to describe him.

What's he doing here?

He lives here.

How so?

His father's
in charge

of one of our largest
corporate endowments.

He pulled a few strings
and got Lucas assigned
to seaquest.

There was
a disciplinary problem.

The father figured,
what better place
to put him?

You're not only
a peacekeeper,

now you're a babysitter.

The kid's a genius.

This dolphin thing's
just the tip
of the iceberg.

He needs discipline.
He needs guidance.

He needs a haircut.

Oh, commander.

This is the boat's
ex-o,

commander
Jonathan Ford.

Sir.

Commander.

I have to take care
of something.

I'll go with you.

It's just
some paperwork.

The commander
can entertain you.

Be honored
to show you
around.

Oh. Seeing you
here like this

somehow makes the boat
feel complete.

The admiral
seems pleased
to have you aboard.

It's a temporary condition.

Soon as this show's over,
I'm on the first jet
out of here.

Sir.

Have you been assigned
to the seaquest,
commander?

Three years.

I was part of
a hand-picked team

to get her
activated.

Must be
satisfying for you

to see your vision
realized.

Yeah, I guess it is.

But of course
I suppose

there have been hundreds
of changes made
since then.

At least.

Ah, flint stone...

With traces
of pink quartzite.

This is very pretty.

[Vibration]

Wha--

wait a minute.

What is this?

This boat's moving.
What's going on?

I don't know, sir.

Bridge.

This is commander Ford.
Who gave orders
to shove off?

Admiral noyce.

He set me up.

I want this boat stopped.

That's impossible.

Once we break port,
we're committed.

This isn't exactly
a rowboat.

I know.
I designed it!

If the captain likes,
a launch could shuttle
you back to Pearl

once we hit open water.

The captain would like.

Yes, sir.

Never trust the military!

Hmm. Military.

Hello, Nathan.

Welcome back.

Wait a minute.

The Navy refused
to install this program.

How'd you get here?

Young Mr. Wolenczak.

He brought me on-line
several weeks ago.

He's really
quite remarkable.

Yeah, so I've observed.

Wolenczak.

What's your mission?

I'm a hologram
here to provide
a sounding board

in times of moral
or ethical conflict.

Very good.

Lucas has given me

a wide range of
source material
to draw from.

You can also
change my image

by inserting
a photograph

in the imaging port
of the computer
main unit.

Really?

What's
our current depth?

100 meters.

What's the speed?

20 knots.

What's the meaning
of life?

Be more specific.

Jeez.

Ahh.

Captain, the seaquest has
just passed the harbor marker

and headed
for open water.

Lock course and rig
for silent running.

Course locked.

Activate silent running.

Weapons systems.

Armed and ready.

Shall we proceed?

By all means,
Mr. Maxwell.

By all means.

35 years--that's how long
we've known each other,

and now you treat me
like a stranger.

No. Worse
than a stranger.

Well,
I think it stinks.

I'm not going to deny
I might have misled you.

Misled?
How about lied?

Why did you do it?

Because you might have
died on that island.

What are you
talking about?

I'm talking about regrets,
about running away
from yourself.

Look at us, Nathan.
We're not kids anymore.

How much time
do we have left
to make a difference?

Oh, please.

Now, that's the truth.

You still have
too much left to offer

to spend the rest
of your life hiding
in the jungle.

That's your opinion,

and it doesn't
justify kidnapping.

You're not a prisoner.

I told commander Ford
to make a launch
available for you

anytime
you wanted to leave.

Very big of you.

Look, I'm sorry, Nathan.

My methods may be flawed,
but my intentions
were the best.

Intentions?

The road to hell
is paved--

with good intentions.

Current depth--
650 meters.

Speed--35 knots.

Course--2-9er-0
and holding steady.

We just received
this message for you.

It's from admiral noyce.

Rhabarbarum.

What?

Rhubarb.

[Birds squawk]

[Reading under
his breath]

The admiral's wondering
while I'm aboard

if I might take a look

at the main drive
propulsion units.

Seems there's some glitches
in the aqua-return jets.

Does this mean
the captain

won't be returning
to the mainland
as scheduled?

Can't wait to get me
off this boat.

All right, commander,
I understand.

I'm not here
to snake your command.

Snake, sir?

Are you telling me
you don't deserve
the command?

I'm not
saying that at all,

but those decisions
are out of my control.

I suppose they are.

But whatever the admiral
has in mind,

it's not going to work.

I'm not interested
in the job.

Does that mean the captain
is ready to leave
the seaquest?

Well, I'm here.

I might as well
look around.

What the hell?

Commander Ford.

Let's get something
clear, shall we?

My people will not
be treated like
so much cargo.

We are scientists.

We are not mindless
military drones.

Your point, doctor?

Your people have
occupied areas

clearly designated
as science research
labs.

I want them removed
immediately.

I remind you
you are aboard
a military vessel.

This is a research
and exploration
vessel.

Besides,
we outnumber you--

124-88.

Sounds like a threat,

you've a grasp
of the obvious.

Now understand--

don't you point
your finger at me.

Ooh.

You find this amusing?

Yes. As a matter
of fact, I do.

And what are you,
some kind of stowaway?

Something like that.

The name's Bridger.

Nathan Bridger?

The last time I looked.

I know your work--
topography,

thermal range
variances.

I tried to
contact you once.

They said you were...
Unreachable.

I'm sorry.

Kristin westphalen--

medical doctor,
physical oceanographer,

and head
of the science team
aboard this ship.

Doctor.

Well, I'm late
for a staff meeting.

Um...it was nice
meeting you.

I'm not finished
with this,
commander,

not by a long shot.

She seems very committed.

She ought to be committed.

Be careful.
Pretend it's your mother.

What's in the box?

Movie disks.

Open it up.

These are family films.

Yes, sir.

I thought I told you
to spice things up.

This is a submarine.
Can you say that?

Submarine.

Good. This is
not a monastery.

Forget it.

I'll pull some
from my personal library.

470...

Take over.

Clearance level, please.

Thank you, sir.

You're Nathan Bridger,
aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Have we met?

Oh, no, not really.

I mean,
not directly.

Uh, I knew your son.

Robert?

Yeah. We went through
the academy together.

He was my friend.

Forgive me, sir.
My name is krieg.

Lieutenant
Benjamin krieg.

Lieutenant.

I didn't know
you were back
on active duty.

I'm not.

The admiral's
giving me a tour.

I'll be leaving soon.

It's kind of funny,
isn't it?

What's funny.

That we only just met,

and it's like I know you
because Bobby--

Robert used to
talk about you
so much.

Anything good?

Occasionally.

I do remember him
talking about a Ben.

Are you the Ben who painted
the army mule yellow?

No.

Pink.

So, uh, if you
need anything,

I'm your friendly
supply and morale officer.

Supply and morale?

It's very important
that the crew
has activities

that keep their minds
off the isolation.

Mr. Krieg, I assume
we're stocked
and loaded.

Absolutely,
lieutenant commander.

Just finishing up here.

Good, because I've got
a schedule to keep.

Captain.

Thank you.

What a sweetheart.

The lieutenant
commander's
a sweetheart?

Oh, well, sir,
we were sort of...

Married.

Really.

Only for a year.

Seemed like a good idea
at the time.

I think she's sort of
still hung up on me.

It's been nice
talking to you.

Robert used to say...

That a son
would be lucky

to have a father
like you.

Thank you.

You called?

Yes. We've got
a distress call

Why are you
telling me?

Ueo regulations
require me to inform
the ranking officer aboard

of any emergency
situations.

That would be you, sir.

What's the source
of the call?

Gedrick power station.

It's under attack.

part of
the gedrick territory.

Well,

we should be there
in about 20 minutes.

Captain, I'm prepared
to offer you

command
of the seaquest.

Come again?

Would the captain care
to assume command
at this time?

I don't think
you're the kind of officer

who turns his back
on a command decision,
are you?

I'm just along
for the ride.

Remember?
