Six months
of basic training

and advanced
combat techniques,

and they stick me
on this rock.

Light duty
on an island paradise

out of harm's way.
Got to be rough.

I need to be tested
in battle.

Our next battle's going
to be four seconds
of nuclear flash

and four centuries
of fallout.

Easy for you to say.

You've seen combat.

Yeah, I've seen battle,

but there's not
going to be a war.

President bourne
wouldn't let it happen.

He came close
over the nexus colony.

And both sides
pulled back.

President bourne
isn't a madman,

and neither
are the people

running the ueo.

Nobody wants war.
It would mean
armageddon.

Oh, my god.

What is it, lieutenant?

Incoming ueo missiles--
Clayton warheads.

Impact in 30 seconds.

Satellite tracking
confirms--

10 ueo ssn-52s

heading for the Palau base.

Impact--20 seconds.

Alert president bourne.
We have confirmation?

We have
confirmation, sir.

Mara, I'm sorry.

10 seconds. 9...

8...7...

6...

5...4...

Please tell my father i--

Sir...

I have the president's
chief of staff on line.

What do I tell him?

You tell president bourne

that the ueo
has declared war...

On macronesia.

Captioning made possible by
universal television,
national broadcasting company,

and 1995 nci caption club/
grantsmanship

Ueo shuttle on approach--

priority one emergency.

Welcome aboard, sir.

Sorry for
the unannounced
visit,

but I can't be sure

if vidlink
communications
are secure.

Commander Ford,
I need to speak

with captain Hudson
alone.

A priority one emergency?
Are we at war?

Not yet.

6 hours ago, 10 ssn-52s

destroyed a macronesian
alliance sub
rearmament base

in the philippine sea.

It was
an unprovoked attack,

launch without warning
of any kind.

Who's responsible?

We are.

We told
the macronesian alliance

it was
a tragic accident--

a computer malfunction
caused a remote,
automated silo

to fire its missiles.

Did it?

That's what you're
going to find out.

The missiles came
from our base in
the Mariana trench

deep in macronesian
waters.

We don't have
a Mariana base.

Officially, that's true.

Unofficially, we dropped
a mobile weapon station

into the trench
a year ago,

armed with
long-range missiles
and nuclear warheads.

They were only
supposed to be used

if tensions with
the alliance escalated
into global conflict.

Or for a first strike,
right?

Six months ago,

Mariana missed
its first scheduled
burst transmission.

We've sent two ships
to investigate.

Neither has ever
reported back.

You're saying you've got
somebody in that trench

with their finger
on the nuclear button,

and you haven't talked
to them in six months?

Not just anyone.

Vanalden.

We are counting
on you

to bring
the admiral out.

And if he refuses?

You have 24 hours
to take that base

by whatever means
necessary.

If you can't,

seaquest is ordered
to destroy it.

Lose something?

Found something.

Ugh. Allow me.

No.

Dagwood,
it's a cockroach.

He didn't do anything
to you.

He's disgusting.

[Sighs]

Cockroaches
infest our food.

They can make us
really sick.

I'm getting sick
just looking at him.

I can put him
in a container...

And...

When we go ashore,

I can set him free,

and that way,
we won't get sick,

and he can live.

All personnel on watch
report to the war room.

The Mariana base
is commanded

by admiral Aaron vanalden.

This man inspires such
devotion from his troops

that his second-command,
commander Pamela loper,

walked away from
her 3-year-old daughter
to serve him.

We don't know
what happened down there,

but we can't rule out
the possibility
they've gone rogue.

Mariana has enough
nuclear firepower

to destroy
a small continent.

And that was the idea,
wasn't it?

We're not here
to debate politics.

Our mission's
to neutralize the base

and prevent a world war.

I'll take
an assault craft

to relieve
the admiral of his command,
if he's still alive.

Why not take
seaquest?

Because I need you here.

If you don't hear
from me in 24 hours,
destroy the base.

There are over 100 people
on that base.

And how many people
are on the planet?

Dagwood, I'm going
to need you with me.

Yes, sir.

You'll need me, too.

My guess is
the systems there are
pretty sophisticated.

You know this could
be a one-way trip?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Dismissed.

I wasn't aware "dismissed"

was a vague term,
lieutenant.

With the exception
of you and me,

everyone in this room

spent the last 10 years
in oblivion.

Make your point.

There's a reason
they're sending you

that has nothing
to do with seaquest.

Don't you think Lucas
and dagwood should know

before they go with you?

If I need a critique,
I'll ask for it.

With all due respect,
sir,

if that was true,

you'd be with vanalden
today instead of loper.

Good luck, sir.

Thank you, commander,

but luck is a luxury
we don't have.

Launch your missiles
at 0800

and not one second later.

Understood.

We've traced the ssn-52s
that destroyed our base

back to their origin,
general.

A ueo robot
installation gone awry,

which secretary mcgath
has destroyed

to show their sincerity.

A pathetic gesture.

Politics
will win the day.

It wasn't a robot
installation, general,

and it has not
been destroyed.

Sir...

What I've done
is run the data

through
satellite tracking,

using infrared resonance

and Sonic imaging
against all vessels
and undersea structures.

Seaquest.

What do we do, sir?

Mcgath said
the source
of the missiles

would be destroyed.

If his people can't
handle the task,

the macronesian
alliance will.

General,
attacking seaquest

could start
the next world war.

They started it.

We're just
returning fire.

Mr. O'Neill, status?

All quiet, sir.

Mr. Brody,
weapon status?

All systems armed
and ready.

Mr. Piccolo?

Maintaining position, sir...

Just like I was when
you asked 10 minutes ago.

Commander...

Is something wrong?

We're on the brink
of war,

and I have orders

to annihilate
our own soldiers

if I don't get word
within 18 hours.

Yes, something's wrong.

Maybe you
shouldn't do things

just to do them.

You're making
the crew nervous.

When this thing
is over,

assuming the world isn't
a radioactive asteroid,

I'm taking a vacation

as far away
from the ocean

as I can get.

Champagne powder
on a perfect slope.

Steep and deep.

Ajax.

Aspen, Colorado.

Bell mountain buckaroos.

Maybe I'll see you there.

You know, maybe the missiles
were launched by accident.

The target could have
been preprogrammed.

Palau isn't
strategic enough

to be
a preprogrammed
target.

Somebody
specifically
chose that island

and fired upon it
for a reason.

Reason being
to start another war.

Neither side wanted that.

Somebody does.

Look.

What have we got,
ensign?

Sensors scanning wreckage.

Positive I.D., sir.

We found the two
ueo recon subs.

Long-range scan.

Anything else
out there?

That's hard to say.

Sensors show that
the trench narrows

a thousand meters ahead.

Can't see anything
past it.

How narrow?

Well, we can
make it through

if we hold our breath.

Arm our weapons,
ensign.

We'll have company
on the other side.

How do you know that?

Admiral vanalden taught me
everything I know.

He is your friend?

I was his exec
on the Valiant

during the siege
of the manihiki plateau.

I disobeyed an order.

I was replaced
by Pamela loper.

Sensors detecting drones
500 meters dead ahead, sir.

Plasma torpedoes,
lasers, mines--
they're loaded, sir.

Fire torpedoes.
Torpedoes
away.

Drone's destroyed.

There are more.

How many?

Too many.

I don't get it.

That blast was 70% below
normal strength.

That wasn't a blast.
It was a nudge.

We're being herded.

Let's see where.
Ahead 1/3.

I'm captain Oliver Hudson
of seaquest.

I'm here to see
admiral vanalden.

A boy, a freak,
and a clown.

How generous of the ueo

to send a circus.

That's loper.

Commander.

He always knew
you'd come, Oliver.

He knew from the start.

Get that out
of my face, soldier.

That's a nice attempt
at asserting yourself,
captain,

but this is
admiral vanalden's
command.

Not anymore.

Really?

You're relieved,
commander.

Give your weapon
to the ensign.

The rest of you
stand down.

Put your weapons
on the shuttle now.

The ueo doesn't
exist here, Oliver.

It does now.

Dagwood!

Dagwood!

No.

Take him away.

The dagger comes with me.

Sir, we're tracking
two high-speed contacts

launched
from the alliance's
balintang silo.

Profiles consistent
with sea-skimming
attack missiles.

Bearing 270 degrees,

range 800 kilometers
and closing.

Track
and extrapolate.

I need
a projected target.

Us.

How long
until impact?

2 minutes, 20 seconds.

Mr. Brody,
rig for anti-air warfare.

Open missile hatches.

Missiles up,
targets locked.

Fire!

Targets down.

[Explosion]

What the hell was that?

Plasma torpedo, deck 7.

There's flooding
in hydroponics.

Evacuate and lock it off.

Sir, two macronesian
alliance war subs
dead astern.

I've got incoming--
six torpedoes.

Fire intercepts.
No time,
sir.

Confirmed impact
in 30 seconds.

All decks, rig for impact.

Where did they come from?

20 seconds.

The noise
from our propulsion system

hid their approach.

Those missiles
were a distraction.

15 seconds.

7...6...5...

4...3...

2...

Hull breech
decks 4, 8, and 7.

Flooding tubes
Charlie 1 and 2,

delta 1 and 2.

Prepare subfighters
for immediate launch.

No!

Taking helm control.

Diverting all power
to impellers.

Rig for emergency speed.

Secondary intakes open.

Terminal leaders engaged.

War subs are firing.
Incoming torpedoes.

What do you think
you're doing, lieutenant?

I'm in command.

I'm getting us
the hell out
of here!

Strap yourself in!

This must have been
an armory at one time.

This looks like
the recharging unit

for a t-class
pulse rifle.

What do you think
they've done with
dagwood, sir?

You know,
vanalden used to call
dress inspection

twice a week.

Sir?

One time
he opened up my locker,

found a shirt that
was improperly folded.

He had me detailed
to the laundry room.

I folded shirts
until I got it right.

Well,
either he's changed

or he's not
commander anymore.

If he's alive,

he's in command.

Sir,
exactly what order
did you disobey?

That's not relevant.

It might be, sir.

What do you know
about the manihiki plateau?

Well,
just that shortly

after seaquest
disappeared,

the alliance
invaded it.

The debron colony,
it was declared
a ueo safe haven,

but before
we could get there,

it got annexed
into greater macronesia

at a cost
of 15,000 civilian lives.

Didn't the ueo
mount a blockade

to starve out
alliance troops?

The Valiant stood off
the north quadrant

for 47 days.

On the 48th day,

a sub tried
to break out.

It was big, fast.

It wasn't answering
our radio signals.

Vanalden ordered me
to destroy it,

but it came straight out.

It wasn't trying
to avoid detection,
no evasive action.

If it was
an alliance ship,

why would it do that?

He wouldn't listen to me.

And you refused
to fire.

Mm-hmm.

Busted me on the spot.

Ordered Pamela loper
to fire the torpedoes.

Did she do it?

Before it could come
to that,

we picked up
a faint radio signal

coming
from the sub--
refugees.

They'd been hiding
in the ducts

of the colony
for seven weeks

before they
took the sub and
made their escape.

You saved their lives.

It's the only
thing that kept me

from being
court-martialed,

but
the demotion stuck.

Well, then he did
the wrong thing, sir.

Right or wrong,
an order's an order.

And in his mind,

I'm a coward.

And in yours?

Do you have a plan,

or are you
just redecorating
this thing?

Yes, sir.

If we reverse the polarity

in this recharging unit,

we may be able to send
a plasma energy pulse

back through
the power conduit,

knocking out
the entire grid.

You mean like
sticking a fork
in an outlet.

Essentially, yes.

Tricky part's
going to be refiguring
this recharging unit

so we don't get killed
doing it.

We're going to be
dead in eight hours

if we don't
take chances.

Yes, sir.

Vanalden wants you.

We have a date in Aspen,
remember?

Lieutenant.

How is he?

Coma.

Subdural hematoma,

but the doctor thinks
he'll come through.

You initiated
full-ahead
emergency speed

without clearing it
with me.

I got us out before
they could sink us.

Seaquest doesn't run
from a fight,
not under my command.

No one was in command.

I was, and I am.

We're going back.

It's not your decision.

Chain of command,
lieutenant--

captain Hudson,
commander Ford,
and me.

This is my boat now.

And we're taking
those war subs out.

With all due respect,

our orders
are to stand ready

to destroy Mariana base
in eight hours.

I'll take that
under advisement.

O'Neill,
can you locate

those alliance
war subs?

Bastards are where
we left them, sir.

Fredricks,
ready a specter.

Draw their fire and
bring them to us.

Where are you
going to be?

Lying on the bottom.

They won't see us
until they're right
above us.

You can't do this, Brody.

The decision
has been made,
lieutenant.

Man your station.

We have a mission
at Mariana trench.

I don't want to
remove you from
the bridge.

All ahead full,
Mr. Piccolo.

Aye, sir.

Have you come
to kill me, Oliver?

No, sir.

I'm here
to relieve you
of your command.

Semantics--

the cloak of cowards
and politicians.

Which one are you?

What happened here,
admiral?

The inevitable.

Serving on doomsday watch,

alone in the darkest,
deepest place on earth,

one begins
to understand man's
true nature.

The men
began to fight
among themselves.

There was blood
everywhere.

You could taste it,
touch it.

You could feel
the drying itch
of it on your skin.

Isolation dementia--

that's what killed everyone
on the Jupiter probe.

I almost released
the grapnels

and sent the base
into the abyss.

What stopped you, sir?

The realization that
my men were right

and I was wrong--

wrong to try
and stop them.

That wasn't a realization.

It's a symptom.

Paranoia, fear, violence,

it's all part
of the sickness.

You know what
the sickness is,
Oliver?

The sickness
is peace.

Peace is an
unnatural condition

I was trying
to impose on my men,

like this base
was meant to impose

on the world.

[Hollering]

What good
is torturing him
going to do?

I am not
torturing him.

I am setting him free.

Warriors exist for war.

That is what
makes us men.

That is
our real true nature.

End this, sir.

We bred it
into the daggers,

but we deny it
in ourselves.

However, you don't
have to bleed much

to be free.

End it now.

That didn't take long.

Release my men,

send your people
to the escape pods.

Have you the courage?
Have you?

Yes.

It won't make
any difference.

Do you think they're
going to follow you?

Do you think
that he will?

Yeah!

[Plasma blast]

Yeah!

Yeah!

Vectoring in on target--

8,000 meters,

bearing 179.

It's not too late
to bring her back.

Get as close
as you can,
then strafe them.

Don't try to take
them on by yourself.

I'm not crazy, sir,

at least not
with this chip in my head.

How much time
do we have left?

Five hours.

And it will take
at least an hour

to get back
into firing position.
We don't have time.

They attacked.
Commander Ford
is in a coma.

We're not running
from this fight.

Put us on
the ocean floor.

Our duty is to be
at Mariana trench

to destroy the base
if captain Hudson's
mission fails,

not chasing
after alliance subs

to satisfy a grudge.

Mr. O'Neill, rig
for silent running.

She's got
a very good point, sir.

Which
I have considered
and rejected.

You have
your orders.

Aye, sir. Rigging
for silent running.

I don't suppose
you approve

of men fighting
to the death, do you?

When it's for sport,
no, I don't.

Is that
what you saw?

What would you call it?

Basic training as
it should be done,

like medieval
knights did it,

culling the weak
from the strong,

keeping
their warriors
fit for battle.

My god, man.
You attacked Palau island

to pick a fight?

We could use
a good war.

There's no such thing
as a good war.

Even you must admit
that maintaining
peace is futile.

Why should we
deny ourselves

our most
basic instinct?

Because
it keeps us human.

It's living a lie,

one that the ueo
is trying to impose
on humanity.

My first attack
did not provoke
a war.

My second one

most assuredly will.

You're insane.

History will decide.

If there's anyone left.

Survival
of the fittest,
Oliver.

That is the point.

[Shouting]

Dagwood!

What did they do to you?

I almost
killed a man.

You were defending
yourself, dagwood.

Part of me liked it.

And part of you didn't.

That's the part that
makes you human, dagwood.

Now, dagwood--

don't!

Now, dagwood,
we have to disable
these missiles.

It's our only chance.

Well, then do it.

O.k.

We have to find an
energy-conducting alloy

and jam it into
the recharging unit.

Now, the hard part
can be overloading--

dagwood!

Dagwood!

Thank you.

Specter 1's
in position, sir.

Fire when ready, lieutenant.

I've definitely
got their attention.

Repeat firing sequence,

then return along
previous coordinates.

Affirmative.

What happens
if we lose this fight?

We won't. Surprise
is on our side.

We're not
going to retreat.

We could win this fight

and still sustain
heavy damage.

They're coming in--5,000
meters and closing fast.

If we don't destroy
Mariana base,

vanalden could launch
a nuclear first strike.

Do you want that
on your conscience?

Mr. Piccolo,
flood forward tubes

able 1 through 5.

Be prepared to fire

the moment
those war subs
are overhead.

We've already been hit
pretty hard, sir.

They get one lucky hit,

we could be stuck here
for real.

Not you, too.

We're doing this
to get even. That's selfish.

The courageous thing would
be to carry out our mission.

Courage is the temporary
absence of selfishness.

Stephen crane wrote that.

War sub 3,000 meters.
2 minutes until contact.

They could pass
right over us

and never know
we were here.

Is this mutiny?

It's a plea for reason,

but we will follow
your orders.

1,500 meters,
60 seconds till impact.

Fredricks,
can you shake them?

I can lose
my own shadow.

Do it.

Plot a course for
the Mariana trench.

Aye, sir.

Stephen crane?

Red badge
of courage, sir.

It's a great book.

They've managed to blow out
the main power grid.

Weak but inventive,
I'll give you that.

So you thought
you could disable
the missiles

and prevent me
from launching?

That was the idea.

And once again

you disobeyed me.

Some people
never learn.

The missile system is on
an independent power grid.

Now I will destroy
seaquest

and Honolulu...

And Brisbane.

And nothing I say
will convince you

not to provoke war.

War?
I am not destroying
the world, Oliver.

I am saving it.

I guess your daughter's

going to miss Christmas
this year.

It's easy
to push a button

and send other people
off to die,

but I don't see you
doing any fighting.

Let's settle this
your way--

you and me in the arena,

or don't you
have the guts

to live and die
by your own rules?

Leaders only fight

when their
best warriors
have failed.

This has been
a long time coming.

Let's go!

Captain.

What are you
going to gain
by fighting her?

Time. He's
watching a fight.

He's not
pushing buttons.

It's up
to seaquest now.

He's insane, commander.

You can stop him

from taking us
to armageddon.

It started in Eden.

You can't believe
that anarchy is
better than peace.

Peace is fantasy.

Anarchy
is the truth.

Get up! Get up!

Get up! Get up!

Is this the kind
of world

you want
your daughter
to grow up in?

Is it?

Yeah!

You're frightened,
aren't you?

That's good.

That means
you value life.

There's hope
for you yet.

You haven't found
humanity here.

You've lost it.

And we refuse to be a part
of this madness.

Very well.

Execute them.

Yeah!
Yeah!

[Plasma blast]

Saving us for yourself?

Five minutes ago
I would have.

Five minutes from now

I just still might.

You have to go.

We came here to disable
the missiles, Pamela.

I already have, captain.

What changed your mind?

My daughter.

I realized
that if I had won,

there wouldn't be a world
for her to live in.

I don't want that.

So...

What does that make me?

It makes you a human being.

Come with us.

It's too late for me.

Now it's too late
for all of us here.

You just tell my daughter

that in the end...

I did the right thing.

Go.

Time.

H-minus 30 seconds.

Any sign
of the assault craft?

No. Nothing
on the sensors.

Mr. Piccolo, flood
all forward tubes.

Tubes flooded.

H-minus 15 seconds.

Lock
onto coordinates
of Mariana base.

Locked and ready, sir.

Fire on my Mark.

No.

The captain is still
down there somewhere

with Lucas and dagwood.

I'm well aware
of that fact,
Henderson.

Mr. Piccolo,
fire torpedoes.

Give them half an hour.

Don't you think
I want to?

But you showed me
I can't.

I wanted revenge
for what those
alliance subs did

to my boat,
to my friend.

You reminded me
that no matter what
I wanted,

the mission
came first.

I think I liked you better
when you were wrong.

Mr. Piccolo...

Fire torpedoes.

Torpedoes away.

Let's pray our people are.

Incoming torpedoes--

10 confirmed.

Seaquest?

Impact 1 minute,
10 seconds.

Hudson?

I let him go, sir.

You let him go.

You and Hudson,

you never could make
the hard choices.

They all died, you know...

The refugees.

Two days after Hudson
gave up his rank for them,

an m.A. Missile hit
their refugee camp,

and there was not
a single survivor.

Sir.

Yes.

If we had
been able to,

would you
have launched

the first
nuclear strike?

Perhaps...

This...

Impact in 10 seconds.

Is what I wanted
all along.

8...7...6...

5...4...3...

1.

All torpedoes
hit their target.

Base destroyed, sir.

Any escape pods,
lifeboats?

No, sir. Just debris.

And one ueo assault craft

requesting permission
to board, sir.

Whoo!

Permission granted.

Aye-aye, sir.

Not to sound melodramatic,

but you may have saved
the world today.

What did happen down there?

A computer malfunction

complicated by cases
of isolation dementia, sir.

You would do this
for vanalden

after what he did
to your career?

You have my report, sir.

You're going to be o.K.

You say that like
it's a good thing.

It isn't?

Well,
when captain Hudson
finds out

what I let happen
to this boat,

I want to look
as sympathetic
as possible.

Mr. Brody.

Sir.

Brief me, please.

Sir?

Captain,
xo out of commission,

seaquest
in a heated battle

without a commander.

Any problems?

No, sir.
Never came up.

It didn't?

No, sir.

We're all familiar
with the chain
of command.

Keep the helm, sir.

Get us underway.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Piccolo...

All ahead full.

Yes, sir.

I just came by
to see

if you were o.K.

I almost became a killer.

I feel...

Sick.

Then you are o.K.

Dagwood, we all
have an animal
inside ourselves,

and...

learn how
to tame it.

And that's why
I have this--

to remind me.

A cockroach.

I'm saving a life.
