If this infection has
spread to marine mammals,

it could be
in the food chain

down to the plankton.

This entire ecosystem
could be in jeopardy.

[Hudson] Mr. Wolenczak,
what's your analysis?

I'm picking up
extremely high
concentrations

of a strange microbe
in the area, sir.

U.e.o. Database is
identifying it as...

Pherma-21.

That can't be right.

Pherma-21
is a synthetic microbe.

It was specifically
designed

to break down
industrial pollutants.

It shouldn't
have any effect
on marine life.

Looks like
it does now.

That's because
this isn't pherma-21,

not anymore.

Its micro structure
is entirely wrong.

This is a mutation.

How did it get here
in the first place?

Seaquest used pherma-21
to clean up a dioxin spill

near the Bermuda rise
12 years ago.

It must have drifted here
in that time.

Which means
this is our fault, sir.

And, in these currents,

the infection could drift
into commercial
fishing waters

completely wiping out
the economy

of the greater antilles
region.

Protein structure
doesn't seem
too complicated.

I might be able
to neutralize it

with a catalyzing
enzyme treatment.

You'd save the area
lots of heartache
and strife.

I hope so, sir.

Captain, I'm picking up
multiple contacts--

several ships in formation
dead ahead.

Hail the lead ship,

tell them this region's
off-limits.

Sir...

They're hailing us.

Put it through.

Aye.

Attention, seaquest.

This is Nathan Bridger.

I'm not letting you
go any further.

Shuttle mr-5
has arrived--

docking bay 2.

Thanks for
hearing me out, captain.

You make yourself
hard to ignore.

I know.

Well, well.

It's good to have you
back on board, sir.

Lucas.

Well, it's ensign
wolenczak now.

Yeah, so I see.

This is my colleague,
Dr. Johansen.

Oh, from the Ballard
institute.

Not anymore.

How do you do?

Why are you here,
Nathan?

Well, Oliver, this outbreak
is the direct result

of something I did
12 years ago.

We're here to see
it doesn't happen again.

So is seaquest.

Yes. We'd like to know
your intentions.

All right, but this is
a u.E.O. Operation.

I apologize,

but Dr. Johansen doesn't
have security clearance.

I'll wait in the shuttle.

Sorry.

What the hell
prompted you
to join up?

To give captain Hudson
a reason to keep me aboard.

We needed
a science officer.

The ensign's done
a wonderful job.

It's been an
educational
experience.

I never thought of you
as career Navy.

Captain on the bridge.

At ease.

Jonathan.

Good to see you, sir.

Mr. Piccolo.

Moved up
from the helm, I see.

Yes, sir. I took
the officer's exam.

I'm still waiting
to hear.

Congratulations.
You'll do just fine.

Where's Brody?

Lieutenant Brody
was killed in action

during the macronesian
spindrift incident.

A lot more's
changed around here

than the dress code.

That's not what
we're here to discuss.

O'Neill.

Sir.

Get mcgath
on the vidlink.

I'll be in the wardroom.

I've been studying
this pherma strain,

and all my data comes
to one conclusion--

that the outbreak
is ready to collapse.

It's spread all it can.

If left alone,
it'll burn itself out.

So you're suggesting
we do nothing.

Exactly.

A policy of hands off
is what's called for.

Wolenczak, is it?

No, sir,

I don't think it is.

Captain Bridger's
projections

are based
on a constant
mutagenic rate.

If we don't
take action

and his numbers
are off by even 1%,

the virus
won't collapse.

It'll get worse
and spread.

That's not going
to happen.

The only way
it won't happen

is if we destroy
the microbe now.

I've been working
on an enzymatic
treatment.

If we disperse it
through the zone,

the pherma strain
should die off
within weeks.

You want to introduce
a new bio-agent into
this environment?

That's how
the outbreak started.

It's an active solution
to the problem.

Oh. Oh, Oliver, you know
all about that.

What Nathan's
referring to,

I was on
the containment team

sent in to handle
the Caracas hanta virus.

We evacuated the area,

detonated an X-ray laser
at the center of the zone,

killed every organism
in a 50-mile radius.

Yes, and then he had
to walk those streets,

see those empty houses--

no sounds, no life.

Nothing ever
lived there again.

We contained the virus.

We had no choice.

We do.

I'm sorry, Nathan.

I'm going with
ensign wolenczak's
recommendation.

Seaquest will have
to go through my ships.

Be reasonable.
We're on the same side.

Not this time.

Captain Hudson.

Sir.

You have
your orders.

Yes, sir.

Captain.

We are not
going to move.

Nathan, I know you
well enough

not to try talking you
out of this,

but I'm going through,
no matter what.

I never thought we'd
see this day, Lucas.

With all due respect,
captain...

You always taught me
to think for myself.

That's exactly
what I'm doing.

I'm not so sure

that's what
you're doing...

Ensign.

Captain Bridger's
shuttle's returned
to his ship,

but still no sign
of movement along
the blockade.

Broadcast
a general hail.

I want to give them
a final warning.

No response, sir.

Helm.

Sir.

Ahead slow, bring us
around their line.

Aye-aye, sir.

They're moving
to block, sir.

What are you going
to do, sir?

Do you have
a recommendation,
Mr. Ford?

With all due
respect, sir,

I think
this is your call.

You're absolutely right.

Mr. Piccolo.

Sir.

Stand down.

Readying e.M.P. Torpedoes.
Maximum spread.

Relax,

I'm just going to knock out
their power systems.

Setting charge for 75%.

Flooding tubes
able-1, -2, -3.

Firing.

Three direct hits
confirmed, sir.

Full system failure
in two of the ships.

Captain Bridger's vessel
doesn't appear
to be affected.

He's shielded his systems.

He was expecting us
to come at him with e.M.P.S.

This was his boat, sir.

E.m. Shielding is holding.
All systems operational.

But they'll
be around us in minutes.

I don't think so.

Full ahead,
bearing 000.

Captain Bridger's ship's
increasing speed.

We're on collision course.

600 meters and closing.
They're not evading.

I didn't think he would.

300 meters
and closing--fast.

Should I begin
evasive maneuvers?

Steady as she goes,
fredricks.

200 meters.

Dive planes down
20 degrees now.

They're veering off.

I can't believe
Bridger blinked.

Man still loves
this boat.

Wolenczak,
what's going on?

Something's wrong
with the magnetic
drive impellers, sir.

The system's
totally destabilized.

Captain, we'll
blow the impellers

if we don't
shut them down.

Shut it down, ensign.

Engines off-line.

All power down.

Son of a bitch.

We're being hailed, sir.

It's captain Bridger.

Put him on.

Aye-aye.

Captain, I'm the one
who designed seaquest.

I know how
to disable her.

If you try to put
her systems back on-line,

I'll knock them
down again.

You'll forgive me
for trying anyway.

The only way to deal
with this pherma strain

is to listen to me.

We did listen, sir...

And we disagreed.

This is your response,
captain?

You didn't
give me much choice.

I'm going to keep
the seaquest here

until this outbreak
is over.

I believe
I'm right, sir.

I know you do, Lucas.

I know you do.

How well do you
know this ship?

Well enough.

Captain,
it's getting worse.

The time we've been out,

the infection zone's
increased 13%.

Doesn't look like it's
burning itself out,
does it?

Wolenczak,
what have you got?

Nothing yet, sir.

Somehow captain Bridger

locked on
to seaquest's engines,

disrupting our
magnetic drive frequencies,

which means
that the problem

lies with the propulsion
control grid.

That system
should be shielded.

It is.

I think captain Bridger

accessed a w.S.K.R.
Telemetry stream

to override it.

Clever of him.

Yes, sir.

Very, very clever.

I reconfigured
the propulsion relays

and w.S.K.R. Frequencies.

If captain Bridger
tries it again,
it won't work.

I know this is
difficult for you.

Yes, sir, it is.

Main power
standing by, sir.

We can power up
anytime.

Let's stay
dead in the water

just a little bit longer.

What's the status
on those other ships?

With the exception
of captain Bridger's ship,

they're still
on emergency power.

Good.

Piccolo.

Arm lasers.

Aye-aye, sir.
Lasers up.

Captain Bridger is not
a hostile target.

He was our commander
and our friend.

This is a mistake.

We have an outbreak
to deal with.

Bridger became
a hostile target

when he disabled
this ship.

There is no other way.
Back to your station.

Mr. Piccolo,
target the propulsion array

and fire
as it comes to bear.

They figured out
how to restore power.

Lucas did.

He fused our propeller
to our drive shaft.

Our systems
are crashing.

Direct hit
to main screws.

They're dead
in the water.

Their main power levels
are low, sir,

but stable.

Do they have
enough power
for life support?

Yes, sir.

Disabling his ship

was the equitable
response to his actions.

Then why doesn't
it feel equitable?

Our actions are based
upon a scientific
judgment you made.

Forget about your
personal feelings.

They're not the issue.

Mr. Ford, get us
underway.

Aye-aye, sir.

All stations
power up.

Helm. Resume
previous course.

Ahead 2/3.

Aye-aye.

Captain Bridger's
hailing us.

Put him on.

Aye, sir.

You're making
a big mistake, captain.

You didn't leave me
much choice.

Enzyme production
is at full capacity.

We're ready
to begin, sir.

Go ahead.

Deploying
enzyme charge...

Now.

I've programmed
the dispersal pattern

into fire control.

Charges will be released
as we move through
the zone.

How long before
we see results?

I designed the enzymes
to break down protein

in the pherma strain.

It's going to take time,

but we should see
the complete effect
within a few weeks.

Microbe levels should
begin to drop
immediately.

Good work, ensign.

Carry on.

Thank you, sir.

Sir.

Sir, uh...

Listen, we left
captain Bridger's ship

in a really bad state.

I'd like permission

to assign some
rescue assets
to his fleet,

if that's possible.

Absolutely.

My old man loved
to shoot pool.

He was good, too--
state champion.

He'd use me
for warm-up games

before his friends
would drop by.

Sir?

One afternoon,
when I was 17,

I ran 100 points
at him.

I beat him bad.

I felt like a hero,
then like a thief,

but mostly angry.

Angry because
my old man

turned out to be
a human being

just like
the rest of us.

Go easy on yourself,
ensign.

You released
your enzymes, didn't you?

Yes, sir, I did.

Remember that
years from now

when this ecosystem's
in ruins.

Sir, if you'd been monitoring
the water toxicity levels,

you'd notice that
my solution is working.

Yeah,
maybe for now.

Is it so hard
for you to admit

that maybe, just once,

you could've been wrong?

It's never been
a competition.

You should've
trusted me.

And, sir, you
should've trusted me.

I did.

Lucas sad?

I'm not sad,
Darwin.

I'm just...
Frustrated.

Darwin not understand.

Frustrated.

It's like, um...

It's like when
you're really hungry

and you go hunting.

No matter how long
you chase this fish,

you don't catch it.

That's frustration.

Darwin good hunter.

Always catch fish.

It's just a human
problem, I guess.

Oh, hey, Lucas.

Hey, Tim.

What brings you here?

I don't know.

Figured this
is the one place

Hudson wouldn't be.

Do you remember

when working
on this ship
was a career

instead of
an adventure?

It was always
an adventure, Tim.

Just a little
different now.

That's
an understatement.

Yeah, I guess it is.

You know, even
Bridger's different.

No, he's not.

He's the same.

We've changed.

Then why does he still
treat me like a kid?

I don't know, Lucas.

Half the time,

Hudson treats me
the same way.

Ford to wolenczak.

We're in position to release
the last enzyme charge.

Captain wants you to run
a water toxicity scan.

I'm on my way.

[Sigh]

You hit captain Bridger
pretty hard, ensign.

I hope it's worth it.

According
to our measurements,

most of the water
in the zone

is within u.E.O.
Safety levels.

I'll tell the antilles
fishing fleets

they can resume
commercial operation shortly.

Well done.

I'd like to get back
to the zone perimeter,

complete
my toxicity scans.

Right away.

Helm.

Sir.

Ahead 1/3.

Bring us to course
157 Mark 2.

Captain, I'm getting
an overpressure alert

on deck two.

It might be a faulty
baffle plate.

Thank you, lieutenant.
Check it out.

Try this one,
dagwood.

What is an...
Overpressure alert?

It's what happens
when we get

pressure fluctuations
on the hull.

What are fluctuations?

Problems.

O.k.

Is this a problem?

Bridge! We've got a problem
on engineering deck.

The whole compartment's
flooding.

We've got a ruptured
baffle plate!

This is a serious breach!

Damage control
to engineering.

Get those people
out of there.

Seal off that compartment.

Blow aft ballast.

Level us off.

Ballast tanks
responding, sir.

We're zero bubble, sir.

We have a hull breach.

It's not just
a structural collapse.

It's the ship's
bioskin.

It just ruptured, sir.

Dr. Perry
to bridge.

Captain here.

We've got a real
problem here.

We got lieutenant Henderson
and dagwood out,

but they're very sick.

I think they've been
infected with
the pherma strain.

Wait. That microbe
only affects
marine life.

No, no. Not anymore.

The protein
structure

of the pherma
strain has changed.

It's...mutated,

because it's affecting
different forms
of life now,

including the ship's
bioskin.

My enzyme
didn't destroy
the microbe.

It made it worse.

How'd this happen?

The microbe passes
from sea water right
through the skin

at an incredibly
fast rate.

The symptoms begin
almost immediately
thereafter.

Is there anything
we can do?

I'm trying
broad-spectrum
antibiotics,

but all I can
do for now
is reduce pain.

If we're going to
have any chance
of saving them,

we'll need a lot
more information
about this microbe.

We're in
the right place, doctor.
We're at patient zero.

Doesn't make sense,
Lucas.

Our bioskin
is genetically
engineered

to be completely
inert.

It's not supposed
to react to marine
organisms.

Apparently,
it doesn't apply
to the pherma strain.

Oh...what the hell
is that?

Massive...
Bacterial infection.

The microbe's breaking up
the ship's bioskin.

That must have been
what caused the rupture.

It also means
there could be more.

Well, we could increase
the hull pressure.

That should shore it up
for a while, anyway.

Yeah,
but not forever.

The microbe's turning
the bioskin into mush.

If more of it
gets infected,

seaquest
may not be able

to withstand
ocean pressures anymore.

It's over, Nathan.

We had our shot,
and we lost.

There's got to be
something in this
ecosystem

to stop the pherma
strain.

I've got to try
to find an antigen.

Our shuttle
will never survive

a deep submergence
mission.

You won't help
by getting killed.

I'm not helping
anyone here, either.

We've sealed off
decks 10-27,

and I've converted
all security teams

to damage control
details.

We'll need all
of them.

Six of the teams
have been infected.

[Hiss]
I want every
available--

sir.

Thank you,
lieutenant.

Warning.
active hull breach.

Executing emergency
protocol.

Sealing compartment.

Sir, I'm on a full
biomedical alert.

I can't contain
the outbreak.

I'm getting six
new patients an hour.

We can't send
a medical team in

while you're
in the infected zone.

And we can't leave.

We'll work this out
over the vidlink.

Give me a few hours
to assemble a viral
task force.

I don't have
a few hours.

Does she have
a chance?

I don't know
if any of us do,
sir.

Our projections indicate

this infection
will hit the coastline

in less than 12 hours.

Why didn't you
see this coming, ensign?

There's a lot
about the mutation
we still don't know.

We may have
a bigger time window
than we estimated.

Or we might not.
Do you know what
this microbe will do

to the population of
the antilles region

if it gets into
their water table
and food supply?

If we can't
neutralize the microbe,

we have to destroy it
completely.

I recommend detonating
a gamma warhead

in the contaminated area.

Captain...

We're in
the contaminated area.

As long as the bioskin
is infected,

we can't leave.

I know that,
commander.

Oliver.

There are over 200
people on seaquest.

Yes, sir.
And there are
10 million people

in the antilles region.

Barring any other
solution,

I think
this is the correct,
equitable response

to the problem.

I can have a missile
ready to launch in...10 hours.

Thank you, sir.

No, captain.

Thank you.

Thank you all.

All right.
We still have 10 hours.

Let's get ahold
of captain Bridger.

I've got a new sample
of the strain.

He knows more about
the outbreak than anyone.

Together we can figure
a way out of this.

Absolutely.
Give it a shot.

Wolenczak to Bridger.
Please come in.

This is Dr. Johansen.

I need to speak to
captain Bridger.

He went to
find something
in this ecosystem

to counteract
the pherma strain.

He was heading for
the nares trench,

but we lost contact
with his shuttle
20 minutes ago.

He took a ds-9 shuttle
down a 8,000-foot
trench?

It was the only way.

And he believed
it was worth the risk.

Doctor, the u.E.O.
Is sending in
a gamma warhead

to wipe out
the microbe in less
than 10 hours.

You must
evacuate the area!

Give me Bridger's
last position.

Transmitting
coordinates now.

O.k.

[Beep]

[Beep beep beep]

Captain Bridger,
this is Lucas.

I'm right alongside
your ship.

Please acknowledge.

Get away from here,
Lucas.

There's nothing
you can do for me.

I told you
to stay away.

Why are you
doing this, sir?

Somebody had to do
something.

Why couldn't you
trust me?

You were asking us

to stake
millions of lives
on your belief,

and I couldn't do that.

The situation demanded
an immediate response.

You wanted to stake

millions of lives
on your belief.

Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

But you've
never been able to
concede anything.

When you thought
your son died,

you turned your back
on the Navy.

When you felt that
seaquest stopped being
what it should be,

you left!

Lucas...

I've got my principles.

What else would I
have left?

And I have mine.

But they're just
not the same as yours
anymore, captain.

They've changed.
I've changed.

You were wrong.

If I could do it
all over again,

I'd make
the same decision...

Because I felt

that
that was the most
appropriate call

under
the circumstances,

and I believed
it was right.

I think...It's time
one of us had
a third option.

That's why I'm here.

Under those
circumstances,

I'm glad to see you.

I'm glad
to see you, too.

This dive...

Wasn't a complete
failure.

I found this.

It's a species
of algae.

It's still alive.

It's got a natural
immunity

to the pherma strain

I wanted to use it
as an antigen,

but there's not enough

to undo the damage
that's been done.

Maybe not here,
but...

It looks like it has
the same catalyzing
function

as my original
enzyme.

If we can modify
the synthesis rig--

we could manufacture
enough

for what we need.

You got room
for another passenger?

I know you probably
can't hear me...

But I had a girlfriend
all through high school.

Her name was
Kim Nichols.

We dated all through
my senior year.

And then I went off
to the academy,

and she went off
to college.

A few years later,

I heard that
she had gotten married.

I felt like this...

Gigantic...

Hole had opened up
and...

Swallowed me.

And being the emotional
genius that I am,

I realized that...

It was because I loved her.

But I had never told her.

I'm not going to make
that same mistake

with you, Lonnie.

I love you.

And I'm not
letting you go.

Not like this.

All senior officers
who are able,

report to the bridge.

O'Neill.

Sir?

Put me
on shipwide.

Aye, aye, sir.

To all crew,
this is the captain.

When we joined
the u.E.O.,

we took an oath
to protect
the world's oceans

at any cost.

That is why seaquest
was created.

That is why this crew
is here.

But it seems
that this ship
and this crew

have become
part of the danger.

And we may have to
pay the price

to finish our mission.

I don't have a lot
of comfort to offer,

but I want you to know

that we started this
together,

and we will
end this together.

Thank you.
That is all.

The warhead is ready
for launch, sir.

Proceed.

Attention.
this is a u.E.O. General alert

to all vessels
in the greater
antilles region.

Gamma warhead detonation
will occur in 1 hour,
30 minutes.

Minimum safe distance
from the blast center
is 100 kilometers.

You've got to admire
Hudson's convictions.

Let's not try to
kill ourselves
doing it.

Seaquest,
this is wolenczak.
Come in.

Hudson here.

Captain Bridger
found an algae

with a natural
resistance to
the pherma strain.

We think
we could synthesize
an antigen

and neutralize
the infection.

We'll be there
in five minutes.

I'll try and buy time.

What is it, captain?

We may have found
a cure, sir.

Recall the missile.

I can't.
It's past fail-safe.

We couldn't risk
anyone trying
to stop it.

Thought we'd try
and shoot it down.

You thought we'd panic.

You picked
the wrong boat!

How many subfighter
pilots we got ready?

They're all
in medbay.

We'll have to settle
for me.

Spector-two to seaquest.

Requesting missile
telemetry.

Switching now,
sir.

Changing course
to intercept.

The antigen's
working.

O.k. I'm flushing
the tanks.

Start downloading
antigen sequence.

I'm on it.

I think
he's going to
make it.

If we can increase
the rate of synthesis,

I think we're all
going to make it.

Come on.

Seaquest,

I have target lock.

Arming torpedoes.

Captain, wait!

That missile's
a tactical warhead,

which means it's probably
designed to explode
on impact.

If you use
your torpedoes--

it'll detonate
and take me with it.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Time to target.

3 minutes,
22 seconds.

If I can't use
a hammer,

I'll just have to
use a scalpel.

Arming pulse lasers.

Scratch one warhead.

Coordinate
and set recovery.

Captain,
we have enough
to try the antigen.

We're set for
a controlled release

through the ship's
hydropressure tubes
on your order, sir.

Proceed, ensign.

Yes, sir.

Ensign, you seem
to have the situation
well in hand.

He's coming along
very nicely, sir.

The antigen even
neutralized the microbes
in the bioskin.

Give it a week or so
to regenerate,

it should be
as good as new.

You're a stubborn man,
Nathan.

And what does that
make you?

How's the food?

Ah...

It's solid.

Beyond that...

What?

Uh...

I'm just happy
to see you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Jonathan...

That was a scary place
I was in.

Nothing...

But this lonely,
burning fever...

And the fear

that I might not
ever see my friends
or my family again.

And I might not
ever see you again.

But, um...

Even though I was afraid
and I was lonely,

I knew you wouldn't
let me go.

And that you loved me.

There's just one thing
I don't understand.

What's that?

Who is Kim Nichols?

And why do I feel like

writing her
a thank-you note?

What do you think,
Darwin?

What's the verdict?

Water clean,
but empty.

Well, we've killed
every microbe
in the area.

Of course,
nothing else is
living here, either.

You think this part
of the ocean

will ever thrive again,
sir?

I don't know.

But nature has a way
of finding her own
equilibrium.

I hope you're right.

I'm not always right.

I've had a chance
to study your data,
Lucas.

I think I was wrong
about the spread
of the microbe.

Would have eventually
burned itself out,

but not without
contaminating
a whole coastline,

so some action
was necessary.

There. I've said it.

That means a lot
to me, sir.

Thank you.

Bridger stay with Darwin?

No, I'm afraid not.

You going back
to your fleet,
captain?

[Laughing]
It's hardly a fleet.

Well, it's a group of
people that believe in
the same things you do.

That's true.
And there's a lot
of work to be done.

I still have to find
my son Robert
and his wife.

You're going to
find them, captain.

Maybe he'll find me.

By the way,

I would like very much
for him to meet you.

I think you two
would get along
just fine.

I'd like that.
