02x01 & 02x02 - Daggers

[bunniefuu]

All guards on duty.

Must display holographic
ID imprints.

Maintenance crew report
to sector four immediately.

Prisoner release mode engaged.

Time to let the animals
out of their cages.

Welcome back, sir.

Well, how was the vacation,
Lieutenant Brody?

Nice, Reynolds.
Open the gate.

Ah, you got the password?

Just open the gate!

Yes, sir!

What's going on, DeNado?

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 is their birthday.

Some birthday.

Twenty years ago 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.

"GELFs," 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, DeNado.

I'm a UEO lifer.

They're alive, DeNado.

Come on, they can't
even reproduce.

They were just supposed
to be soldiers,

the perfect jarheads
out there

dying for the holy cause
of the moment, you know.

If you hate them so much,
DeNado, Why'd you sign up for this?

Because when some young Louie
like you ain't around

bleeding through his heart for these
"Genetically mismanaged GELFs,"

I'm in charge.

Then you better make
the most of it, Sergeant.

Trust me, Lieutenant, I am.

Where'd they go?

It's hard to say, Lieutenant. But
they're quick little devils, aren't they?

Well, my shift's up.
Good luck.

Get me
a prisoner status report.

They're all here,
Lieutenant, relax!

Attention,
vehicle ----,

traveling at miles above
acceptable speed allowance.

Infraction level seven.

Nine hundred and thirteen
dollars has been deducted

from your
social security account.

Thank you.

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 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 the president
is going to be there.

The president?

Yeah, I guess he wants
to see the new boat.

And what happened
to the old boat?

It sunk.

And what happens
if this one sinks?

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

You better.

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?

Right.

Yeah, and I'm going to 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?

I've got... 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?

Ah, about minutes.

Must have been a hell
of a summer, huh?

Oh, it was great.

You think she'll wait for me?

Absolutely.
Really?

Absolutely.

It's just a show
of strength, Mariah.

No.
Nothing more.

It's what birthdays are for.

A celebration
of what we've become.

We 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 k*ll us.

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

If we stay here,
they already have.

You still up, huh, Matty?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, well tomorrow's
gonna be a big day.

You guys are all gonna be .

You know, that used to
mean something once,

used to mean that
you were a man.

I am a man.

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.

Welcome to seaQuest.

All visitors please report to the
deck officer before proceeding.

Okay, folks, listen up!

'Cause I'm only going to
go through this once.

Hi, how are you doing?
Harmsen,

Henderson, Ioki, Innes,

Jamison, Johnston,
Jones, Kellogg.

Enlisted crew quarters,
deck , section I.

All
maintenance personnel should report

to engineering immediately
after...

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

Did you call Henderson yet?
Ah, did you call me?

Yes, I did.

Ah, sorry, I didn't hear.

Ah, where do I go?

All crew
members must display holographic ID.

"Where do I go, sir?"

Where do I go, sir?

...must display holographic ID.

First generation Navy, right?

My father ran a solar station but
I'm pretty good with the wrenches.

Sir.

Deck , section L.
Bunk . 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 , 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.

Ah, 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 bunk-mate
assignment.

Ah, I get to choose my own
bunk-mate 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 someone
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.

Okay.

...Dr. Smith on sea deck after...

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.

That's what they call me.

You're a GELF?
Yes.

If you want to, sir,

Captain.

Sir, you can call me Dagwood.

Like a joke,
Dagwood the Dagger.

It makes me laugh sometimes.

See?

Welcome aboard.

You're gonna do just fine.

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

I was 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.

Reynolds!

Hey, Reynolds.

Yeah, post -D.

You guys are on duty,
corporal.

Yeah, we're on duty. Hey,
this is the duty here, Lieutenant.

Have you seen DeNado?

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

Did you check
with his old lady?

Sometimes DeNado gets home
late and likes to sleep in.

No, 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 DeNado.

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

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

Player one, victorious.

Yeah, well, do me a favor, write
me a ticket off of this sand pile.

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.

Hey, DeNado?

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

Oh, great.

What's the problem?
Oh,

this boat is two months from
being finished, that's the problem.

Commander Ford,
is that any better?

Oh, yeah, lots.

Tony Martinez is b*ating
Gorgeous George on points.

Yeah. Miguel, can you get me
an R- line-up, please.

Yeah. And let's see if we
can move this turbine vent.

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

How's that?

Much better.

Now Woody Woodpecker's
ahead on points, too.

Swell.

We've been polluting the universe
with radio and television waves

for the last hundred years.

And somehow seaQuest has
turned into a giant antenna.

Hey, you know,

I've never seen Abbott and
Costello meet Frankenstein.

Do you think you could
get that? I hear it's a classic.

Miguel, the turbine unit,
please.

Thanks.

Come on,
put your shoulder to the...

It's still not working,
O'Neill.

Where's Captain Bridger?

Looking for me, Commander?

Where have you been?
Oh, I mean, hello.

How are you?

I'm fine. Good, well.
Where have you been?

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

Where's Lucas?

Ah, 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.

Don't ever change, Jonathan.

I wasn't planning on it.

How's that?

Oh, that's great, O'Neill.

Glad to
have you back, Captain.

See that? I come on 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.

Oh, 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.

Oh! I can't move it!

We're gonna need
some help, Captain!

Let's go get them!

Warning,
structural collapse, Section D.

Oh!

Come on.

I can't breathe!

Get another air jack in here!

Oh!

Stand back, stand back.

I can help.

No, there's no room.
No go. No.

Hey!

Easy, O'Neill.

You can let that down now.

Where?

Anywhere you want, pal.

Who is that?

That's Dagwood.
He's a GELF.

A dagger?

Hey, he saved my life.

Thanks.

Okay.

I am a dagger.

The prototype.

Can we keep him?

I hope so.
That'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 medbay.

Aye, sir.

This is Lieutenant Brody,
we have a code red, repeat.

Code red security breech,
repeat.

This is Lieutenant Brody,
we have a code red.

Does anybody hear me?

Escape module activated.

Launch
Sequence engaged. Three, two, one...

Our future! Our freedom!

This is an ...
emergency beacon -----.

Repeat this is an S.O.S.
beacon ----C-.

Do you read?

This is Lieutenant
James Brody.

GELF colony in revolt.

Emergency beacon
----C-. ls anybody out there?

How's it going?

I'm finding everything
we need to know.

They got a restaurant here? I
could go for some eggs Bennie.

You got a boat to catch.

Hey, what's the chance of you
flat-heads 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 NYPD.

Yeah, you must of 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 underwater, sir.

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 then 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, David.

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 suppose 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.

I mean, when I was a kid they
thought it was just luck, intuition,

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

I mean 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?

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,
I mean, he's much older.

But I like that in a dad.

I'm a traditionalist myself.

You must be...

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.

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 PhD is Bio-Physics.

My passion is para-psychology.

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."

Hole in one, huh, Captain?

Sorry, sir.
It's... It's no problem.

It might be.

We have a m*llitary police launch
requesting permission to board.

Did you check their security?

They checked out, sir.

Open the launch bay.

We'll have to continue this
at another time.

Well, it was a pleasure.

My mother told me you were a
bit pretentious. But I hardly noticed.

Oh, thanks.

Nice to meet you, Captain.

D- has arrived.

You were lucky to catch up
with us.

You have no idea. I need
three signatures on the bottom.

Prisoner early release
program.

Why seaQuest?

He's an experimental.

UEO's placing hardship cases
in places where

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, sailor.

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.

Any place to get a beer
on this tug?

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

No can do, Cap. It's my gig.

Later, Cap.

Security, we got a prisoner
loose here.

Call ahead. Stop him.

Prisoner headed your way...

Look out! Look out!

Follow him. Come on, Jonathan,
we'll cut him off on the sea deck.

Captain, you're not going
to believe it,

but I got this guy swimming
through the aqua tunnels.

I give LIP-

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 were you trying
to do, k*ll 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.

This just isn't fair.

Lucas,
it's part of growing up.

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 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 Walen-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.

Okay.

What did you do in here?

What is this?

What?

The place needed serious
babe-ing up.

Yeah, well.

Use your imagination, huh?

Hey, that's good.
Maybe you're okay after all.

But a little visual stimulation
never hurt anybody.

And 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 you?

Captain, I've got
a UEO Distress Beacon.

-----. Very weak.

What's the location?

I'm having trouble
with my locators.

Well, keep on it.

Aye, sir.

I told you this would happen,

but you insisted that we wire the P-
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 re-route
through my console.

That should shortcut
the patch bay.

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

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

Uh-oh.

I 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 five.

And he's not a thing sir,
remember, his name is Addison.

Addison.

We could use a little
good luck on this boat.

There, that should work now.

Try it now, O'Neill.

Got it.
Beacon at , kilometers.

-- south, southwest.

Let's go.

Okay, we
got the capsule in sight.

Going into check it out.

Launch seems to be okay.
We're gonna try and open the hatch.

You okay, 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.

Ah, forgive me for not saluting,
sir, but my arms fell asleep.

Were there any casualties?

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

The GELF population has lived peaceful
ever since they were first created.

Not for the last
six 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.

Ah, they were bred
to be warriors.

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 you ' Trident

and have me, what was it,
"Check out your transmission?"

Grow up, Lieutenant.

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'?
- Yes, sir.

Bring her around bearing
two-eight-zero. 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.

Do you need some water?

Make sure this man gets
some water.

If I were to respond like you, I would
lose my right to pity you for what you are.

We've sent out some
radio calls to the UEO.

But we're not getting
any response.

Maybe Mariah was right,
Joseph.

No, Matthew.

Sometimes it takes a sword
to defeat a sword.

How are Sarah and the baby?

Sarah is frightened
and the baby,

the baby looks like me.

Joseph, we've just contacted
a UEO submarine.

They're , kilometers
north, northeast of here

and they're headed in this
direction. They want to talk.

We want to discuss the terms
of our freedom.

The UEO will not negotiate
as long as you have prisoners.

When we don't have prisoners,
we are prisoners, Captain.

I understand your feeling
that way.

But if either side digs in, it's
going to result in casualties.

The hostages are in no danger
at the moment, Captain.

Please don't make this
any tougher on them.

Stall them, Joseph.
Just give me four hours.

I believe they're prepared to k*ll us,
even if it means losing their men, Mariah.

In four hours, losing their men
will seem like a day at the beach.

Mariah out.

You'll have to reconsider.

This isn't the way
he wants it.

Joseph, I have a feeling that this
decision is not entirely your own.

There are others
I have to consult, Captain.

However, the final decision
is mine.

There are others that I have to
consult, and the final decision isn't mine.

We will not release the hostages
until we are guaranteed our freedom.

Get me General Thomas.

Aye, sir.

They're scrambling
at , megahertz.

Try the standard
decode algorithm.

It's conducting a secured
transmission, Matthew.

There's nothing standard
about this.

I'm not going to negotiate with
you, Nathan. This is a direct order.

Don't care how you do it.

But if the GELFs fail to release the
hostages, you will destroy the colony.

I'm rated triple A-six
in demolitions.

I led the underwater demo team
during that skirmish in Tonkin.

Tell me, is there anything
you can't do?

Yeah, I'm having one heck of
a time learning the bagpipes.

Oh, bet you look good
in a skirt.

Somebody needs to get in
and disarm the security system.

Lieutenant, tell me, if I wanted to
get armed men onto that island

under the cover of darkness,
what am I looking at?

Well, the UEO's got sensor
registers surrounding the colony.

My guess is the GELFs know
how to use them.

So, you can't get a man within
miles without them knowing it.

Suppose they were unarmed
or carrying plastic weapons?

No. They're using
quartz-sonar equipment.

Anything more dense
than a fingernail,

a simple breathing unit,
even a wetsuit,

and they'd be alerted
in a second flat.

So I swim in,
get your guys in undetected.

What's in it for me?

What's in it for you?

You get to do
something worthwhile.

Worthwhile isn't
in my vocabulary.

It is now,
or you're back in the brig.

You know, nobody on this boat
has a sense of humor.

I do.

Wait to you see what you do
when you come back.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Get going-

You will hear many things
about your parents,

about who you are
and where you came from.

Keep the truth in your heart
and always take it with you.

I can't let you die with me.

The main complex is here. The officer
and staff quarters come out on this hub.

The yard is
the most central area

and it gives them a
-degree view of the island.

My best guess is this is where
they've got their hostages.

So in short, even if Piccolo
manages to slip through their sensors,

there's no way to get the rest of the
men into the colony without being spotted.

Unless they're being led by
someone who knows the island

and has ground combat
experience.

Don't tell me.

You were the first to hit
the beach at Normandy.

Ah, if I were a century older,
you could count on it.

You're not going to believe
this, Captain. Check out the sea view.

Sea Deck.

Nothing.

No readings of any kinds
of electronics or expl*sives.

Beyond that...

Oh, my God, get it open.

Hey.

Hi, there.

A GELF baby?

They aren't supposed
to be able to reproduce.

Well, he sure looks like
the real thing to me.

If this is their baby, that
means they're becoming human.

Come here, come here, yeah.
Come here.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Find me General Thomas.

Okay.

He's on the sixth floor.

I'm deactivating all elevator
and corridor sensors.

I can't control
the sixth floor from here.

We'll come down from
the seventh. Let's go.

We've already got leaks,
Frank.

We're getting complaints and
concerns from the human rights whiners.

Now we've got to have
a position on this.

We do have a position.

They're not human.

What in God's name
do you think you're doing?

God had nothing to do
with this, General.

You're responsible for
what we are. You created us.

Let's go.

Captain, bringing a sector
seven prisoner aboard seaQuest

is strictly
against UEO policy.

She's not a prisoner,
Jonathan. She's a baby.

And what a little
heart breaker, Commander?

Don't look at me.
You're the one who's a father.

Yeah, not for many,
many years.

Sounds like a little gas.

I'm here.

Here we go.

I practically raised
my sister's kid.

Where was your sister?

Prison.

It's all right,
you can come in.

Here.

No. My hands are too big.

How's Lucas doing trying
to dig us up some information?

He's doing fine.

I'm only trying
to save you time.

Yeah, well, don't bother.

I've been hacking into secured
data bases since I was nine.

Yeah, but you can't hack into
something that doesn't exist.

All records on the GELF
experiments were destroyed.

I mean, even if you find someone,
they'd never come forward.

Half of them
still face prosecution.

Let me try.

We're talking the dark ages
of genetics, here, Lucas.

Scientists playing God, desperate to
get into the genetic soldier business.

I did my thesis
on ecological integrities.

To obtain m*llitary superiority
in nuclear and chemical w*r,

ground forces have to survive
in less than eight percent oxygen.

I mean, that way, if they lost
their human quotient,

genetic personnel
could continue to make w*r.

How humanitarian.

Yeah, well, they were.

They developed the oxygen
regenerators for those that might survive.

Which is a good thing, considering
we destroyed all the rain forests.

I mean, without the oxygen
regenerators, we'd all suffocate.

So basically, we owe the
m*llitary for the air we breathe?

Something like that.

Access confirmed.

Ah, here we go.

Captain Bridger, UEO
headquarters has been breached.

The GELFs have taken
General Thomas

and a fully-armed
Navis- sub.

All right, listen up.

The UEO m*llitary
Headquarters has been att*cked,

and General Thomas was taken
prisoner in a Navis- submersible.

That's a
major piece of equipment, sir.

It certainly is.

Fully operational, cleared
in stealth and satellite recon,

all phases of extreme
R- evasives.

An undetectable,
self-contained w*r station.

Isn't that what I just said?

All right, that enough.
Let's find the submarine.

I'll die before I cooperate.

I doubt that.

Your background in cooperation
is well documented.

What are you talking about?

The Korean conflict in .

You were captured along
with three of your men,

but you managed
to come out alive.

I escaped.

You're a politician, General,
not a soldier.

Survival is in your genes.

Look, I need your help.
Sorry.

Two seconds.

Look, could you
just help me out.

No way, Lucas.
It's not my shift.

I'll pay You-

Not me. I hate kids.

It's all right. It's
all right. It's all right.

Okay, come on.

Lucas, babies have different
cries for different problems.

You got to learn to listen.

Her diaper needs changing.

You can hear that?

No, I can smell that.
Put her on the table.

Thanks. I own you one.

Here.

You sure
you don't wanna do this?

No, go ahead. Trust me.
It's good for the soul.

Okay.

Oh!

That's what they do, Lucas.

Hey, Lucas, hurry up.

You realize that this one act of
terrorism negates all our negotiations.

Please. Don't hurt my baby.

Your baby is doing fine.

We stand as one, Captain, I'm
sorry you can't understand that.

They don't know, Captain.
He's telling you the truth.

I understand what a miracle
this baby is for you.

It must have been very hard
for you to let her go.

It was my only choice.

We intercepted the general's message
ordering you to detonate the island.

We had no intention
of following that order.

Why should we believe you?

Joseph, I was at
the GELF colony long enough

for you to know
that not all of us lie to you.

Captain Bridger is
one of those people.

We all want to help, so please end
this thing before that chance slips away.

The power to end this
is with you.

Confirm. Thomas, Francis
Gideon, General, United Earth Oceans.

Please enter UEO Passive
level identity code now.

-- stroke -.

Identity code accepted. Enter
vector codes and sat-com initiatives.

Thank you
for your cooperation, General.

Now wait a minute, that's a very
sophisticated piece of weaponry.

I know.

Target the air regeneration
station in the Congo region, David.

With pleasure.

Those air exchangers produce
the oxygen in our atmosphere.

You destroy them,
you k*ll us all.

We require less than eight
percent oxygen to survive, General.

You humans need three times
that much.

If I destroy four
of these plants,

the world is left
with eight percent.

You die, we live.

She just turned an S-
defense satellite around

on the Congo regeneration air
exchange and blew it to hell.

She's going
to suffocate us all.

At :
Greenwich time today,

a t*rror1st att*ck
by unknown persons

destroyed the Congo Basin
Atmospheric Regeneration Station

in the African Confederation
state of New Zaire.

A part of the planet-wide
atmospheric regeneration system,

the Congo Station was
constructed in

following the clear-cutting of
the Equatorial African rain forest.

The ARS System
is only a supplement

to the normal generation of breathable
oxygen by the earth's ecosystems.

Officials say
the loss of the station

will have no discernible
impact on citizens' lives.

How many of these stations
can we afford to lose

before it impacts
on our lives?

I'm on it.

Since the plankton die-off
after the Beta-Q toxic spill?

Four stations.

Yeah, if they destroy the four
largest stations, all human life will die,

except the GELFs.

Greetings,
citizens of the UEO.

Wish I could call you
my fellow citizens,

but that is something your
leaders have always forbidden.

My skin reflects all the colors of
mankind, and if you cut me, I bleed.

But there is one difference. We
don't need as much oxygen as you.

I've seized control of anti-m*ssile
satellite weapons system number

known as the Ronald Reagan
Memorial Laser Space Base,

and I've used it
to destroy the first

of the ten air regeneration stations
that keep this planet breathing.

Oh, my God.

Unless your leaders recognize
our humanity and equality as citizens,

I'm going to atomize
the other nine.

We want the freedom to raise
our children in peace.

I'm going to keep destroying these
plants at the rate of one an hour

until the UEO accedes
to my demands.

Give her what she wants.

UEO Policy prohibits
negotiating with t*rrorists.

Human beings in violation of
international law are t*rrorists.

Are you saying
that she's human?

No.

UEO Policy gives
great deference to the views

of the senior commander
in charge at the scene.

In this case,
that would be you.

Now, I've been in touch with
the people in the GELF colony,

and they only want what
everyone else wants, their freedom.

I suggest
you give it to them.

ls the baby good?

The baby
is very good, Dagwood.

It's remarkable.

Congratulations.

Dagwood is a brother now.

In a way.

A cousin?

Actually, more like an uncle.

You share some of the same DNA
characteristics, same gene pool,

skin colors,
she even has your nose.

Is that good?

Yes.

But her fundamental life category
data doesn't correspond with yours.

Not completely.

It suggests
that she's a human.

Her lung capacity, her oxygen
needs, her blood pressure,

all are human.

But daggers aren't human.

We didn't have a god that made
us, we had a man that made us.

I'm afraid this little girl
had a god, Dagwood.

HOW?

Spontaneous evolution.

The UEO Senate has confirmed
citizenship for your people

and granted you amnesty.

I suppose you want to collect
your friends from the colony now.

I'd like to collect
General Thomas, too.

He's been delightful company.

Will you contact your people on the
island and arrange for the transfer?

Of course.

Thank you.

Welcome to the human race.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I'm human.
I learned how to lie.

But you won.

I spent years in prison. I'm not
going to start believing them now.

The New England plant
will be next, David.

Spontaneous evolution?

That's right.

Spontaneous evolution is
an oxymoron, doctor.

It's like m*llitary intelligence.
One cancels out the other.

Well, then
what would you call it?

Well, you should be able
to tell me.

Or the word ridiculous
keeps coming up,

but I think that mainly
applies to your opinion of me.

Well, don't take
that personally.

A man's mind used to be
his castle.

This baby is human.

HOW?

I don't know.

Speculate.

Well, this might sound
somewhat anthropomorphic,

but applying human
characteristics to non-human life

is a place to start, Captain.

But when a living thing,

I mean, whether it's a
water bug or a ballet dancer,

becomes self aware, they start
taking the necessary steps to stay alive.

I mean, it's evolutional,
it's survival.

A flower will bend towards the
morning sun, birds fly south in the winter.

I mean,
dolphins learn to talk.

Make your point.

The GELFs became self-aware.

I mean, they began to engage in
the social intercourse of community,

they shared feelings.

I mean, first it was probably
fear, then anger, then maybe hope.

And then they wanted
their freedom.

I mean, because they had become
autonomous, they become their own species.

And once that happened,
nature took over.

I mean, nature needs
to protect life.

I mean, if it didn't
the universe would die.

Are you talking nature
or some divine force?

Why, semantics,
I mean, take your pick.

I mean, but somehow it knew that
the only way the GELFs could survive

was to take the next evolutionary
step which is to become human.

And then they began
to procreate.

This GELF baby has all the physiological
characteristics of a human being, Captain.

The GELF t*rrorists are continuing
to destroy the air exchange plants.

Captain Bridger,
abandon hostage exchange

and engage
the h*jacked UEO submarine.

Necessary sanction
with extreme prejudice.

I thought we had a deal.

I thought so, too.

I'm sorry, doctor.
They're human after all.

Full att*ck procedure,
Commander.

Aye, Captain.

Red alert.

Battle
stations. All hands to battle stations.

O'Neill, do we have
her location?

I can't break
the code, sir.

I can.
That used to be my sub.

Input code two baker
one five victor seven.

Access confirmed.

Got it.

Is there anything
I can do, Captain?

I think Henderson
could use some support.

You've got it.

Captain, New England quadrant
losing oxygen.

Outer regions...

Eighteen percent and dropping.

What's our estimated time
of engagement, Commander?

Seventeen minutes.

I'm Lucas.

Ah, I'm...

Scared?

Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Me, too.

Helmsman Henderson.

Helms-man?

Helms-person.

Let's just go
by first names, huh?

Sure. I'm Lonnie.

I'm Lucas.

You already told me that.

Yeah, I guess I did.

Lucas, thanks.

It's seaQuest.

How did they find us?

I don't know, but we can't
shake them, we're at maximum.

She's just ahead, sir.

I see her. Say with her now,
stay with her.

It's time to turn and fight.

We can take her out, Captain.

No, no, no, it's her move.

SeaQuest is within
weaponry perimeters.

Do it.

Enemy torpedoes coming at us dead
ahead at o'clock, impact in seconds.

Arm full counter att*ck.

Not yet, Commander.

Piccolo, go up there
and assist Ortiz.

Yes, sir.

Load intercepts.

Intercepts loaded, sir.

Fire intercepts.

Intercepts fired, sir.

It's going to be okay.

Fire again.

Second barrage of enemy
torpedoes underway, sir.

Fire intercepts!

Intercepts fired, sir.

We have to counter, sir.
Maximum att*ck levels.

No we don't.
She's out of torpedoes.

Get me Mariah on the vidlink.

Aye, aye, sir.

Destroy us, Mr. Bridger.

But we will have plenty of time to
destroy the last of your needed air supply.

And destroy yourselves
as well?

I'm willing to die.

My people will live on.

No, they won't.

You see this baby,
this baby is human. Like us.

She needs to breathe
the same way we do.

You're lying.

No. I'm not.

But it's up to you
to believe that.

Look at this child.

Can you take that risk?

I'm telling you
the truth, Mariah.

The only risk would be
believing any of you.

I've never heard the truth
from your kind before.

It's true.

These people have never lied
to me before.

And I should know,

I'm almost her uncle.

But you're my brother.

Then believe me.

I do.

Ah, look at that.

Captain Bridger.

What will happen to Mariah
and our brothers?

Well, they've broken our laws
and they'll have to live by that,

and you'll have to live
by those laws as well.

Now you have your freedom.
Congratulations.

But what will we do now?

That is a question that free
men have been asking themselves

since time immemorial.

I can only wish you good luck.

Thanks.

She looks just like him.

Excuse me.

I think we owe you something.

You do.
We do.

Why?

You told the truth.

I didn't know
what else to tell.

I know that.

That's why
I want to thank you.

Um, I better go back to work.

You don't want Dagwood
to work here anymore?

Yes, just forget that.

Welcome aboard.

Thursday.

Tuesday.

Friday.

I was hoping
you were Saturday.

Ah, thank God.
You found Addison.

Addison? I've been
looking all over for him.

Who?
I can't sleep without him.

Oh, there,
some guys have all the luck.

You think that's weird,
don't you?

You're talking to a guy who
organizes his underwear by the day.

Um, you did really well
up there, Henderson.

For your first time
and everything, I mean.

I was afraid.

Who wasn't?

You know, I think
I'm going to like it here.

You got your Thursday's
in the Tuesday pile.

I hate it when that happens.

Oh...

You do this, too?

Doesn't everybody?

Goodnight.

Friday.

Come on, Piccolo,
stop showing off and just deal.

I like showing off,
it's what I'm good at.

Ls there anything
you're not good at?

Not lately.
Okay, here we go.

The game is Black Mariah,
Chicago style.

Spade both, but it's
only alive when it's under.

One-eyed Jack is wild, first red
two showing gets an a*t*matic card.

su1c1de king cancels the hand,
ante is progressive,

straights can walk around the
corner and a four flush beats a pair.

High card only wins
with the dealer.

Any questions?

Is this the guy that invented
"Crazy Eights?"

A simple game
for a simple mind, Ortiz.

I agree with that.

All right, who's in?

Ah, yeah, I'm in.

Yeah, me, too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in.

Okay, dealer's in and he has all
the power. So he's raising them.

History, Ortiz,
k*lled by the dead king.

Tough luck.

I'm out.

Oh, and I'm still in. Here
we go. And I raise everybody.

I'm gone.

He's bluffing.

I know, but I can't breathe.

All right then,
it's to you, Luke.

What do you say?

I---

I get the top bunk.

Pretty gutsy, cuz.

Yeah, well, I've got
a large lung capacity.

Too bad, k*ller trip sixes
with the spade queen covered.

Shouldn't play
with the big boys.

Full boat Jacks,
high ace under. I'm sorry.

You're gonna have to dream on
from the bottom bunk.

I read that.

Oh, yeah?

First half is okay,
but the ending...

The police captain
is the m*rder*r.

Pretty predictable, huh?

Yeah, it is now.

Hey, nothing worse than
reading a whole book

and realizing
the ending stinks, right?

Well, I can think of
a few things, actually.

Like not being given the opportunity
to make that determination on my own.

Waste of time.

And from what I hear, the crew
of this tug has wasted enough of it.

Oh, come on, Commander, you
guys a sank a $ billion boat last year.

It was for a higher good.

It doesn't matter.

So the Captain wants me to sign on to
help make sure that doesn't happen again.

You're kidding, right? Would
I kid about a thing like that?

I hope so.

You know, we can be friends.

It's a long tour, Jim, why
don't we just think about that.

We don't have time.

Bridger told me I'm rooming with you
until they finish remodeling my quarters.

What's wrong
with your quarters?

No place to put
the pool table.
