seaQuest DSV (1993) s02e19 Episode Script

Clay, whatever you're about to do, don't.
There are no choices here, Laura.
You could go to the UEO.
They were afraid enough of what I was before.
They'll want to destroy what I have become.
Clay! Get out! Here I come, boy.
Here I come.
Hello? Help me.
Who are you? Tony? Tony! What's wrong? What's the matter? It hurts, Lucas.
It hurts.
All right, okay.
Medical emergency, Piccolo's quarters.
Got you.
What's wrong with me? Nothing, according to diagnostics.
Something's wrong.
I hurt.
I know.
I know you hurt.
This may not be a good time.
The "thump-thump.
" The "thump-thump"? You heard it? It was a bad noise.
He's in a severe panic.
It's not a physical disorder.
I'm going to give him an anxiolytic.
It should calm him down.
Why did the ball explode? I don't know.
What are you two talking about? I had a nightmare.
I had his nightmare, too.
Laura! Clay? Hey, Clay.
Come on.
Hurry! Stop being afraid.
Look at what I have become.
The entire Chicago PD is after us, thinking we're the getaway car from a local convenience store robbery.
I'm thinking it's because it's way past her curfew, and her father's a maniac.
That's a tough call.
Who do you deal with? The police or your date's angry father? The police.
Right.
Right, so I careen into the driveway and hit the brakes, but the driveway is only like a car length long, so after I hit the brakes, I hit the garage door, her mother's car in the garage, which shoves the washing machine through the kitchen wall, where her father is having his weekly poker game, right? The police rush in, arrest her father for conducting illegal gambling activities.
Oh, man! I can't beat that one.
Commander.
He's with us.
Come on, he's supposed to be here.
Your turn, Luke.
Worst date of your life.
Here with you guys.
I don't like being around these things.
Why are we replacing these missiles anyway? How many times have we killed people? Safety, Lucas.
These missiles There's plutonium in there, Commander.
Not any more.
See? Don't! Don't do that! What, guys? Guys, warheads are our friends.
Perfectly harmless, see? Brody What? Look, there's no radium, no hydrogen, no vanadium.
That's syntium, blue moon.
Got nothing to worry about.
It's an inert synthetic compound.
Until it comes into contact with a nitrogen cartridge, at which point it becomes the densest liquid energy known to man.
So we don't manufacture plutonium anymore.
We're getting rid of what's left.
That's an oxymoron, Lieutenant.
It's a build-down defense policy.
We're still producing weapons.
It's not an oxymoron.
It's an oxymoron.
No, it isn't.
Maybe we should just stick with moron.
We had the same dream.
Dagwood was at an aqua tube watching my Aunt Gianna drown.
There was this blinding light in the Mag Level.
A ball bounced out, and a hand picked it up and threw it at me, and it exploded.
When was the last time you saw your Aunt Gianna? She died three years ago.
Are you certain Dagwood had the same dream? The thump.
The!thump-thump.
! I know Tony was there.
I know!thump-thump.
! And there was a woman in Darwin!s tube.
I don!t like Tony!s dream.
Congruent dreaming is virtually unheard of.
Tony's afraid he's losing his mind.
I want to take them to the Chatton Parapsychology Center.
You think this is a psychic episode? It's more than a dream.
It's more than a dream to you, Doctor.
Why? watching my Aunt Gianna drown.
When I was a child, I experienced a vivid dream of my aunt drowning.
It scared me to death.
I told my father, and he said I had an overactive imagination.
A week later, they found my aunt underneath the ice of a frozen lake.
She left a suicide note in a Christmas card.
My father became so depressed he had to be hospitalized.
Tony's experience could scar him emotionally.
Chatton could help prevent that.
Foreseeing my aunt's death was the only clairvoyant experience of my life.
It brought me to Chatton.
They helped me develop my telepathic skills and my faith in myself.
Launch Bay.
Prepare a launch.
Aye, sir.
Thank you.
Science searches for and has yet to find quantifiers to account for this phenomenon.
I can!t explain it.
I just know what it takes out of me to do it.
I!m going to take a few minutes for myself.
Clear your minds.
Oh, it's the little "levitating a little black box" trick.
How does he do that? You don't know? Laura! God, Wendy.
You, too.
Nine years at least.
And then I'll never admit it.
Exactly.
They're reading each other's minds.
I'm sorry.
Laura, this is Dagwood, Tony Piccolo.
Welcome to Chatton.
I'm Laura Fletcher.
Laura Fletcher, you know my name.
I thought this was supposed to be a psychic center.
Yeah, you know, this was never part of the curriculum when I was here.
We're experimenting with denying developed senses in order to accelerate the maturation of the sixth sense.
Laura, what's wrong? Nothing.
Don't read me, Wendy.
Horsy.
We have a lot of animals now.
Built a lot of natural habitats.
Psychic senses and nature.
Welcome home, Wendy.
I didn't know you'd be here.
I didn't want you to.
My God, Clay, look at you.
You look great.
You look younger.
Your boots! El Paso, custom made.
These were a gift from my mother.
I care.
This guy's boots were in my dream.
It wasn't a dream.
It was a prophecy.
There's a difference.
You knew you were coming here.
You had a clairvoyant episode, Tony.
The first one can scare you out of ever having another.
Wendy knows that.
How's your arm, Dagwood? You can ride him if you want to.
No, I'm too big.
Chaucer's a strong horse.
I'm sure he'd like you riding him just fine.
We should get them to their rooms.
Do that, Laura.
I'll show Wendy some of the changes I've made around here.
You have to let go of skepticism, Tony, for the sixth sense to happen.
Then it's just as natural as breathing.
Breathe this.
This way, guys.
I don't like him.
I do.
He gave me his horse.
You're holding his horse.
What he gave you was bull.
Come on, horsy.
I had a bad dream, okay? That's it.
I'm fine.
I'm over it.
You're putting me inside a jelly donut.
I feel like an egg.
No, Tony, you're returning to an emotional embryonic state.
It's a very peaceful place.
No sight, sound, taste, touch, smell.
Absolute prenatal environment.
Why would I want to do that? Genetic regression.
I don't want my genes to regress, and I don't like you.
Let go of your fear, Tony.
You let go of my fear.
I'm only trying to help you.
Wendy.
He doesn't trust me and won't cooperate while I'm here.
Kid's got a lot of raw cognitive power, though.
I've never sensed it.
I do.
But his suspicious nature will never let it develop.
You're not losing your skills, are you? No.
What am I thinking? What else? That's all you're letting me read.
You have to exercise your abilities if you want them to reach your full potential.
You're still asking permission to read other people's thoughts, aren't you? I believe in being ethical.
The boundaries of ethics change when we do.
Laura, take over.
The regression pod will suppress your five tactile senses.
Your sixth sense, if it's not inactive, will respond to the lack of stimuli.
You'll become aware of the history imprinted on your genes.
You'll be able to read the unknown past and sense the immediate future, and we'll be able to determine the depth of your psychic skill, or lack of it.
Why can't Dagwood go? His genetic structure is engineered.
He has no genetic history to read.
Tony, you don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it might explain the dream and why Dagwood experienced it.
We'll see if Dagwood can experience here what you experience in the regression pod.
It might open a door to incredible skills.
Like yours? Like mine.
Well, what the hell.
Watch your head.
I don't like this.
All right, here we go.
It!s all right.
Go with it.
Something's scaring him.
Tony, it!s all right.
No, we have to stop this.
Tony, I!m getting you out.
Access denied.
We have a system failure.
It's not responding.
It's not responding! Get him out! Tony.
I want to go home.
Please, Dr.
Smith.
Okay.
I'll feel a lot better once we have these things under lock and key.
Yeah, well, I won't feel better until they're in their launch silos.
Hey, that's it, guys.
You can go.
Hey, Miguel? Yeah? Does Lucas think I'm an idiot or something? I mean, he basically called me a moron.
He was joking.
Pretty sensitive, aren't you? No, I just Well, yeah, you know, I mean, I'm the new guy on the boat, and there's a lot of resentment from people working under me.
I just don't want it to spread to the rest of seaQuest.
That's all.
What? Lieutenant Tough Guy, you care what people think about you.
Hey, everybody cares what people think.
Piccolo doesn't.
Well, yeah, Piccolo.
He!s a distrusting kid, Captain.
He needs to be examined in an environment he's comfortable in.
SeaQuest is where Mr.
Piccolo is most at ease.
Aren!t we making a pretty big megillah about one dream? One dream shared by two crewmen.
They're your sailors.
They were brought to us.
We were asked to investigate a congruent dream.
This is the next step.
This is an inappropriate time to have visitors on seaQuest.
Laura and I are class-one security cleared by the UEO.
Dr.
Smith, you seem very quiet.
Tony had a bad experience in the regression pod.
Part of me doesn't want to put him through any more stress.
And the other part? Well, the undeveloped sixth sense ebbs and flows without logic.
The closer we are in time to the actual psychic event, the more likely we are to capture the reason for it.
I've been there.
It's an epiphany.
If it can happen for Tony, he will be better off for it.
If your UEO clearance stands, I!Il make accommodations.
Thank you, Captain.
I think it's a mistake.
Come in.
Sir, the syntium missiles are secured in ordnance.
It's a mistake inviting them in.
Probably.
But I prefer them to be out of his institution and be here on my ship.
I think there's something else going on, too.
You think he has a hidden agenda? Yes.
He's a very powerful psychic, and, given what you two know, I don't want him in your heads.
How do you keep a mind reader out of your mind? Concentrate on nothing.
Look, tell Lucas I want to know everything about this guy Marshall.
Not just the PR.
I want to know who he is.
slew of books on prophetic telepathy.
Over 200 public predictions, and he's never been wrong.
Oh, my God! What? He predicted the 1999 earthquake that destroyed Los Angeles.
Everybody was predicting an earthquake would wipe out LA back then.
Yeah, well, how many of them hovered over the city in a helicopter to watch the destruction? Hounded by the media, he went low profile.
Resurfaced quietly when Chatton was founded as part of his effort to accelerate man's metamorphosis to the next level of intellect.
This guy doesn't have much of an ego.
He thinks we can force ourselves to evolve.
Commander.
They dated.
Look how old he looks there.
The photo is 12 years old.
He hasn't aged a day.
Are there any younger photos? Yeah, yeah.
Twenty-two years, and he hasn't aged.
Find out how he comes by a class-one security clearance.
Maybe you'd like me to unlock the secrets of Stonehenge while I'm at it.
Come on, Lucas.
Come on.
Do you ever laugh, Commander? Can't laugh, Lucas.
Why not? 'Cause when I laugh, I'm too good looking.
I see what you mean.
Yeah.
Want to take the wheel, Dagwood? Really? Sure.
You see the attitude indicator? Just keep the little picture of the shuttle level with where the two colors meet.
You're doing fine.
You know, you're a watershed in human history.
You're the future, and you're the first.
One day, man, however he remakes himself, will look back on you as Adam on the eve of his existence.
You talk so no one understands you.
You bet.
Clay is very attentive with Dagwood.
I think he feels a common bond.
Laura, what's going on? Nothing.
He's altered himself, hasn't he? Laura, take the column.
I lead a private life.
Is there any reason you can't respect that? What's happened to you, Clay? I have become.
Become what? Progeny of myself.
My own descendant.
Cloning? You're still the school girl, aren't you? As concerned as you are, and it's a real easy read, you still won't look into my mind for your answers without permission.
Your ethics won't let you.
I don't think I'd like what I'd see.
I don't think you'd understand it.
One clairvoyant experience scared you away from looking into the future.
How could you possibly withstand the exhilaration of stepping into it? Blue Moon! Lucas Stay at the column! We'll deal with this.
Notify seaQuest we hit a thermal.
We've got an injury.
I'm notifying seaQuest.
What did you do to her? Mayday! SeaQuest.
Emergency.
I won't let you do this.
It's Wendy.
We've hit a thermal.
Woman Injured.
Coming in.
Mayday, seaQuest.
This is Chatton Submersible MR3.
Emergency.
We hit a thermal.
Crew member injured.
We're coming in.
Mayday! How bad is she? Physically, I don't know.
Neurologically, she's fine.
You did a neuro-scan? I'm a psychic.
I looked inside her mind.
And I'm a physician.
I look at hard data.
Prep a neuro-scan.
There's nothing wrong with her neurology.
I need medical facts, not mysticism.
Mysticism? The fact is, Doctor, you've been on this boat two weeks as a support physician.
Your mother has Alzheimer's and you feel terribly guilty about wishing her dead so you can stop dipping into her assets to pay for an in-home care provider.
Would you like me to tell you what you keep locked in a box in the back of your sock drawer? Scrub the neuro-scan.
Prep an MRl and blood work up.
Let's go.
Clear the room.
Clear the room.
I'll call you as soon as I know anything.
Two units, prilo-methocaine.
Prep two units, prilo-methocaine.
Right away, sir.
Captain, I'd like to postpone the clinical study until we know if Wendy is out of the woods.
Fine.
I'll have Lieutenant Brody take you to the guest quarters.
Lieutenant.
Yes, sir.
Right this way.
Here you go, Doctor.
What is it? Prilo-methocaine.
Why? No.
This is your room, Mr.
Marshall.
Ms.
Fletcher's is across the hall.
Thank you, Lieutenant.
The only thing in Brody's head are women and hockey scores.
He's blocking our efforts to read him.
They're suspicious of our being here.
They're just suspicious of psychics.
That's all.
It's more than that.
There it is.
What? Computer port.
The only person we have to worry about is Wendy.
How could you do that to her? Don't whine to me.
This is more important than any one person.
No, it's not! And I won't be intimidated by you anymore.
What you are saying is you are more important than any one person.
Well, you're not, Clay.
You're not.
You haven't evolved.
You've devolved.
You hurt a person who loves you just to get your fix of syntium.
You're an addict, a junkie, and I was your facilitator because I once blindly admired you.
You haven't been worth admiring for a long time.
I just stayed blind to it.
Laura, if I don't do this.
I'm going to die.
Well? Marshall is more than telepathic and clairvoyant.
He doesn't just read minds.
He can tell them what to think, and that's why he has a class-one security clearance.
Responsive telepathy? His benign term for the questionable practice of altering people's thoughts.
The UEO used him in seminars with some of their most important scientists.
Marshall convinced the UEO that science's world of rigid procedure limited the scientists' ability to think beyond their methodology.
He promised to unlock their potential by implanting the subliminal message to go beyond their limits.
Four years ago, he stayed with a group of metallurgists, chemists and engineers through the completion of project Blue Moon.
Syntium.
Oh, wait a minute.
Someone's scanning me.
We've got to block all this out.
We don't want him to know we know this.
Come on.
C- Deck.
Thank you for riding Mag-Lev.
Will you excuse us, please? Yes, sir.
Thanks.
Mag-Lev engaged.
Be seated to avoid injury.
Next stop, B-Deck.
Is he scanning you? Why is he here? Well, we went to him about Dagwood and Piccolo's congruent dream.
I think we went to him because he sent for us.
I think he planted that dream in Piccolo and Dag's head so we'd go to him.
Then he put Piccolo's aunt in the aqua tube to get a rise out of Smith because she'd turn to Chatton for help.
Now, he was connected with the Blue Moon Project.
Syntium.
He's after our nuclear missiles.
Oh, no, no, no, his ego is too big for that.
He'd never go to a force outside himself.
Then what does he want? It's not enough.
Hurry.
Wendy, I'm here.
She was scanning you? Yes.
Captain, Clay Marshall is 50 years old.
He doesn't look it.
Right.
Why? Syntium.
It's secured.
It's responsive telepathy.
If he can control minds, he can slip past the guards.
But how is he going to get past the security codes? Help.
We're right here.
No, help Lucas.
We're going to take a little tour of the boat now, Lucas, okay? Okay.
My God, what happened? Clay.
Guest quarters.
Security.
No, no, no! They can't handle his psychic ability.
We'll do it ourselves.
You work hard, don't you, Dagwood? Yes.
And you don't get much back for it.
Dagwood gets what Dagwood needs.
That's what they tell you.
No, Dagwood.
Don't listen to What's wrong, Lucas? Lucas hurts because he made mistakes.
I know about that.
I made a mistake.
I hit a thermal, and Dr.
Smith got hurt.
And you hurt because of it.
Yes.
Dagwood, what's the one thing you always wanted? Something you've seen, desired, something you've wished for.
I'm Yes? different.
And you wish you weren't.
Yes.
You wish you were like everyone else.
Yes.
Normal.
Yes.
Look in the mirror.
Would you like to see what he sees? No.
You should see it, Lucas.
You should see.
You have to go with us now.
I have to go.
Yes.
Where is he? Gone to get what he needs.
It's the syntium, isn't it? Why? What does he intend to do with it? Survive.
It's the blood in his veins, Captain.
Afternoon, Sergeant.
Sir.
Access affirmed.
Your access is affirmed.
Strat-globe One confirmation.
Yes, sir.
Captain! Open up! That's the Secretary General's authorization code.
You're not supposed to know that.
Neither are you, are you, Lucas? Open this up! Strat-globe One confirmation required, sir.
Get out of here! Access denied.
Strat-globe One operational.
Both of us believe we have the right to function outside boundaries the average man adheres to, but we're not average, are we? We're just a couple of above-average guys looking to make the most of ourselves.
Override code.
I don't have it.
I need that code! I'm I don't have This could be damaging.
Go to hell.
What's wrong with Lucas? His guilt is painful.
Don't have guilt, Lucas.
That's one.
Marshall! Notify the UEO we have a breach in the nuclear ordnance.
Give them our coordinates and clear the seas.
Tony! Tony! Two.
This is wrong.
You can help him.
How many minds can he manipulate at once? You could fill a stadium.
You have to stop him.
I can't.
You have to.
She can't.
He won't listen to her.
He used her.
He uses everyone.
Why is he here? He's the one Marshall manipulated.
I need him here.
He is psychic.
He saw Clay's boots in the nightmare.
Clay didn't project them.
All right, Marshall's in there with three dozen nuclear missiles and Lucas.
And Dagwood.
He's overriding the security codes on a missile.
He has three numbers Four.
Access confirmed.
That's five! He's in.
Lucas? Lucas won't move.
Good.
Help him.
You help me.
But Dagwood! Rotate it, please.
Dagwood's removing the tip of a missile.
The detonator.
He'll blow them to kingdom come.
We are the new flesh, Dagwood.
Everyone before us will be relegated to the history books.
Hurry! Be very careful.
Careful.
My life is contained here, and the UEO won't give it to me! I'm a blue blood victimized by red tape.
Clay, don!t do this.
I have to.
Look at your arm.
You're not a real person, either.
I am a real person! I have become the next step in man's evolution.
Lucas and Dagwood will die.
Don!t let that happen.
I need this! Do you want me dead, Wendy? Is that really what you want.
I've got the second digit.
It's a five.
Dagwood, don't let them in.
He's manipulating Dagwood.
Tony, speak to Dagwood.
How? Just think about him and nothing else.
Smash the panel.
Dagwood.
Tony? Smash it! Help Lucas.
Smash it! No.
Clay! Open the door! You don't You can!t be a murderer.
Don!t let them die.
I love them.
I've forgotten what that's like.
Please, Clay, remember.
Dagwood, the panel.
Eight, five, seven, one, nine, five, three, four, two.
Stop! Run, Dagwood! Run! Dagwood.
Oh, man.
Call Med-bay.
Get them here immediately.
You're gonna be all right, Dagwood.
You're gonna be all right.
Is he the only one? Is he? No, there are others like him.
I don't know who or how many.
He guarded that secret well.
Wendy, I'm sorry.
I tried to help it, but his will was too strong.
I know.
Hurt.
Dr.
Smith? Yes, Dagwood? Clay said Yes? You can tell me later, Dagwood.
No.
Clay said, "I died many years ago, "but before I died, "I loved you.
" All right, let's get him to Med-bay.
Come on.
Come here.
Come on.
Come on.
I got you.
I got you.
Hi, I'm Peter Deluise, and my brother Michael is here to talk about coral reefs, one of the ocean's most beautiful ecosystems.
I'll translate.
!Often mistaken as plants, !coral are breathing animals that eat, !grow and reproduce.
!Known as the nurseries of the sea, !coral reefs are home to hundreds of animals !from sponges to sharks.
!Nearly all of the !are found in the Atlantic !and Indo-Pacific Oceans.
!Most are considered endangered "with pollution being their greatest threat.
" See you on the next adventure of seaQuest.
