"Mining underwater." "I don't know." "What do you do if there's a cave-in?" "You die." "Which would make it kind of tough to send a distress signal, wouldn't it?" "[beeping]" "We stick together." "Find out who's in charge." "See if they need any assistance." "I got a detail prepped and ready back on board seaQuest, just in case, Cap." "(man on intercom) Welcome to Broken Ridge." "All arrivals please sign in at the supervisor's office." "[door opening] [water dripping]" "I said I'd meet him over here." "All right." "[people chattering]" "Must be the place up there, huh?" "Not your typical sounds of distress, are they?" "Dad." "I see them, Gibby." "Take these." "Go on home." "Tell your mom I'll be there as soon as I can." "Go." "@@[music playing on stereo]" "[music stops playing] [man coughing]" "[music starts playing]" "I don't think they'll bite." "[sighs]" "Let's ask around." "Hi." "(Buck) What'll it be?" "I'm looking for a Mr. Cobb." "I was told at the docking port that he was in charge here." "Haven't seen him yet." "A little early for lunch, though." "Never too early for a drink, which is all you're gonna get out of me." "No, I think you might be right." "You wouldn't happen to know anyone who might be trying to send out... a distress signal?" "[chuckles]" "Take a look around, pal." "You see anyone who wouldn't?" "Good point." "So, what are you doing here?" "We're the entertainment." "We're singers." "How did you end up getting booked into Broken Ridge?" "We're not very good." "(woman) Oh, but they don't care." "And it's a good place to be bad." "Practice and polish your act." "Good luck to you." "(Crocker) Excuse me, gents." "We picked up a distress signal coming across the Ceylon Plain." "Oh, yeah?" "(Ford) It's pretty weak." "Disappeared before we could pinpoint it, but, yeah, we think from here." "Can't help you." "Only person in distress here is me." "Wait." "I'll take that back." "False alarm." "[laughing]" "[sighing]" "I heard what you said about my wife." "[people clamoring]" "[grunting]" "Don't leave." "Please help us." "[gun cocking]" "Welcome to Broken Ridge." "Frank Cobb's the name." "Something I can do for you?" "(Bridger) The 21st century." "Mankind has colonized the last unexplored region on Earth...  the ocean." "As captain of the seaQuest and its crew, we are its guardians." "For beneath the surface lies the future." "[electronic beeping]" "Duke." "We're just a small town." "We're more a family, really." "With the good fortune to be sitting on a mountain of gold." "I'm afraid that makes us a bit skittish around strangers." ""Don't leave." What did you mean?" "Especially when they wear uniforms." "Right, Lenny?" "Oh, almost forgot." "I've sent a couple of my men over to your place." "I thought we ought to let your wife know not to worry." "At least until I decide what to do with you." "Joan." "Lovely woman." "And your boy, Gibby?" "What's he now, seven?" "Eight." "Family's important down here." "Man who's lucky enough to have one does what he has to, to protect it." "Well, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." "Far as I'm concerned, the matter's closed." "You and your men are free to go back to your ship." "[clearing throat]" "But we still don't know who sent the signal." "I told you, if there'd been a signal, I'd have heard about it." "[chuckles]" "You guys are unbelievable." "For years we scratched away at this rock... just trying to get enough out of her to stay alive." "And where were you?" "Nowhere." "Now all that miserable, hard work is paying off." "We're getting somewhere, getting ahead." "All of a sudden, the mighty UEO shows up wanting to help." "[scoffs]" "Kind of makes a man wonder." "You don't understand." "You really care that much about us?" "Or is your outfit just looking for somebody new to tax?" "We heard a call for help, that's all." "Yeah, well, your help's not needed." "Now, I think it better if you and your men moved on." "We're sorry you feel that way." "And we still have to find that distress signal." "Well, good luck to you, Captain." "[people chattering] [clears throat]" "Is it my imagination, or were we just told to get out of town by sundown?" "I think that's a fair translation." "Captain, that man was asking for help." "Hitting me was just a cover-up." "Yes, but this isn't the place to discuss it." "We have to go back, Captain." "Maybe, maybe not." "This is an open territory, it's not UEO." "I don't think we can go back without an invitation." "[dog barking]" "Did you hear that?" "Yeah." "[laughing]" "A stowaway." ""Please come back." "Help us." "I don't want them to hurt my daddy."" "I don't know, Captain, but this sounds like an invitation to me." "Plaster deposits are like rivers of gold... pushed off the continental shelves by glaciers during the great ice ages." "It wasn't until a few years ago, however, that it made sense... cost-wise to mine underwater." "Broken Ridge is just one of dozens of mining camps... formed off the coast of Australia during the great oceanic land rush there." "What do we know about it specifically?" "(Katie) Well, it's definitely legit." "The probe found gold in the mineral samples it collected." "Anything else?" "No, the prospectors are wildcatters." "They don't report to anybody." "And if they do keep records, I haven't found any yet." "Well, keep digging." "Who's next?" "I've set up a perimeter with Whiskers." "Haven't picked up anything unusual yet." "I'll be running a constant communications sweep, Captain." "Maybe we'll get lucky and hear something." "Wait a minute." "Aren't we ignoring the obvious here?" "We take a security detail down, we find this kid or his dad... and we ask them what's going on." "We gotta be careful." "We're liable to hurt some people." "But you're right." "It would be nice to have someone there to ask questions." "I don't think Mr. Cobb's all that open to having strangers in his little town." "Maybe not strangers." "Lt. Krieg tells me there's a constant flow of people... on the shuttle from Australia." "Yes, sir." "Singers, musicians, comedians..." "They rotate through Broken Ridge on a weekly basis." "You're a comedian, Lieutenant." "We could send you." "[all laughing]" "Yes." "Well, thank you, sir." "But it's more of a spontaneous kind of thing." "I don't exactly have an act." "Not that you need an act." "I spoke to my buddy, Murray." "He books talent at your smaller venues." "He told me that the miners at Broken Ridge are mostly single men... who'll pay top dollar for female entertainers, no matter how bad they are." "I can be bad." "What?" "I can sing." "I'm not a pro, but I can carry a tune well enough for Broken Ridge." "Katie, you sang in the shower." "Yes, and maybe you want me to shower for them." "Is that what you're saying?" "No, I just don't think you should go in there unprotected." "Cobb's a tough man." "We don't want her putting herself at risk." "Somebody has to." "Look, I can't be a part of asking someone to do something I'm not willing to do." "Commander, you feel confident about this?" "Yes, sir, I do." "Okay." "Let's get some musical charts for our lounge act here... and tell your friend Murray to book her into Broken Ridge immediately." "[people chattering]" "Nice to see you, girls." "(man) Come on in." "Nice of you to come." "Welcome to Broken Ridge, ma'am." "Can I help you with your bag?" "Thank you, mister..." "Frank Cobb." "Mr. Cobb." "Yes, that would be nice." "(Cobb) Gold." "Should I be impressed?" "@@[music playing]" "There isn't a man here who has the same or more." "And if I let you leave this table more than one of them is gonna be trying... to convince you to spend the rest of your life with him." "The thing is, I want you here with me." "Do you think we can slow things down a little?" "When it comes to beautiful women second chances are pretty rare around here." "I'm not the only woman who just got off the boat." "Why me?" "Your eyes." "They're stunning." "But they're hiding something." "And that intrigues me." "What do you think they're hiding?" "I haven't figured that out yet." "Is it fear?" "[people chattering]" "You're not afraid of me, are you?" "Should I be?" "My mother had eyes like yours." "Ma." "She just kept doing... what needed to be done." "I see that same look in your eyes." "I'm afraid I didn't come here to get married." "Entertainer, eh?" "So, how about you entertaining me?" "You want a song?" "That's a cover charge and a two-drink minimum." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try to find out where I'm staying." "[people chattering]" "Hi, there." "What're you drawing?" "Listen, maybe you can help me." "I have some friends, and they found this dog." "I told them I'd try to find out who he belongs to." "He seems like a great dog." "I know if he were mine, I'd sure hate to give him up." "His name's Banjo." "[barking]" "It wasn't easy to find." "They keep mapping and remapping the ocean floor." "What used to be part of one confederation is now part of another." "But you found it?" "Yeah..." "I found it." ""Department of Oceans, Fisheries, and Wildlife." ""New Ausland Confederation."" "(Bridger) That's him." "(Kristin) Who?" "Commander Ford's sparring partner." "His name is Sutter, Lenny Sutter." "[computer beeping]" "(Lucas) Must be his dad." "Harry." "According to this, they own all mineral rights at Broken Ridge." "Grabbed them in the oceanic land rush of 2013." "Well, doesn't that mean that everyone at the mine works for the Sutters?" "I guess so, yeah." "Records don't show any change of ownership." "That doesn't make sense." "Unless..." "Unless... there was a mutiny." "Yes." "It all comes down to greed." "Cobb was just a hired hand... until he convinced the others they'd get a bigger cut... if he was running things." "He convinced all the miners?" "Enough of them." "He can be pretty persuasive." "You have to remember that this was almost five years ago." "It was a much smaller operation then." "All the men brought in since have been Cobb's." "But there's gotta be something you can do." "Well..." "I can't fight him." "Cobb says... if I try anything, Joan and Gibby will be the ones that pay for it." "I know my son must think I'm a coward sometimes... but I've already lost my father to Cobb." "I can't lose anybody else." "Why does Cobb keep you around?" "Just to torture you?" "No, we're alive on a technicality." "The folks who started the land rush, they weren't interested in speculators." "They wanted to settle the ocean." "So in order to claim the land, you had to agree to work it... for five years." "The deed's in the Sutter name... so no gold can be sold without our signature." "Drives Cobb crazy." "Five years, that..." "Yeah." "Time's about up." "And Cobb won't be needing us anymore." "We gotta get your family out of here." "[gadget beeping]" "Is there someplace we can go where this will work?" "Yeah." "This shaft's pretty much mined out." "Doesn't get much traffic." "I come down here as often as it's safe to send out a distress signal." "I'm gonna call my captain." "Would you mind keeping a lookout?" "No." "[beeping]" "There you are." "I've been looking for you." "[sighs]" "What do you want?" "I heard you had company today." "One of the new ladies in town." "That's not like you, Lenny." "Family man and all." "She likes kids." "We saw her talking to Gibby, so... she stopped by for a few minutes." "Had coffee." "That's all." "What did you talk about?" "Nothing." "Gibby." "I want to know what she's doing here." "Oh, come on, Cobb." "What do you think she's doing here?" "She's like most women who come to Broken Ridge." "She's looking for a husband." "I've met her, Lenny." "She's not at all like most women." "Believe you and me." "Not by a long shot." "[groans]" "Please, Lenny." "I need to know who she is." "She's nobody." "I'm not going away, Lenny." "Now tell me." "Who is she?" "[sighing]" "She's nobody." "One more time, Lenny." "Tell me who she is." "I told you." "She's nobody." "I'd hate to have this conversation with your wife." "[metallic clanking]" "[beeping]" "Closed caves." "Tunnels?" "Mine shafts." "Hitchcock was right." "Mr. Ortiz?" "I've got a Whisker on Darwin's mark now, Captain." "Thanks, buddy." "We gotta take care of Katie, don't we?" "I owe you one." "(Ortiz) What do you think?" "Some sort of back door?" "Well, a complex as large as Broken Ridge would have at least... a dozen mine shafts." "And I bet every one of them had a docking bay." "It makes sense." "They can clear away the waste and slag... without hauling it through the main facility." "If that's the case, why can't we bring out Hitchcock and the Sutters the same way?" "And avoid the main docking bay entirely?" "I'll get a launch ready now." "We got to go." "Now." "How?" "Where?" "The seaQuest is sending a launch to pick us up." "They'll be here in half an hour." "Well, do they plan on coming in firing?" "'Cause that's the only way Cobb's gonna let us anywhere near the docking bay." "They're not coming to the docking bay." "They're coming in through Mine Shaft 7." "Can you get there?" "You better believe we can." "What about Cobb?" "What if he's watching us?" "He can't keep an eye on you if he's got them both on me." "(man) Fourteen's here." "Just clean that out and replace it." "Let's get loaded, Chief." "Twenty minutes to rendezvous." "Right behind you, Commander." "I thought I told you if Commander Ford needed someone... he'd take them from Security." "Captain, no one from Security's been down there." "I have." "I know my way around." "No." "Captain." "Look, please." "Had I not opened my big mouth, Katie wouldn't be down there right now." "I know she can take care of herself... but if anything goes wrong, and I'm not there..." "Okay... but you be damn sure that she doesn't have to take care of you as well." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, sir." "[keys rattling]" "Frank..." "What happened to your head?" "[stuttering]" "It was a little accident in the mine." "Maybe some company would take away the pain." "Some other time." "I've got a lot of paperwork to take care of." "That's just too bad." "I was thinking I may forget about that two-drink minimum... and cover charge tonight." "Hmm?" "[people chattering]" "Locked and ready, Commander." "Simple in and out." "Let's be invisible." "I hope she's got them ready." "@@[music playing] [slurps]" "If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go use the ladies' room." "You think I don't know what you're up to?" "You're trying to sneak away without singing for me."

"Yes, I do." "What do you propose to do?" "What is it, Nathan?" "You've exceeded a comfortable response time." "That's because I'm not comfortable." "I'm angry." "Cobb doesn't care what damage he does." "He's got the whole town cowed into getting what he wants." "Is that what makes you angry, his values differ from your own?" "No, that's not what makes me angry." "What makes me angry is he wants a fight." "And I wanna give him one." "There's no shame in fighting for a cause, providing it's just." "But I want to hurt him badly, and that makes me no better than him." "Can Frank Cobb match the firepower of seaQuest?" "No." "Then where does his power come from?" "The town." "And why do they support him?" "Why do they give him the power?" "Captain, we're on Broken Ridge approach." "Docking bay is open." "(Bridger) Thank you." "Ease up, Lenny." "It's gonna be all right." "Commander Ford risked his life for my family, Captain." "He didn't even know us." "I can't ease up." "Not until this is over." "Not until we have Cobb... and Mr. Ford is safe." "I owe him that."

"I mean, you brought back Lenny in such good shape." "We want him now." "First I get Lenny." "And then what?" "And then?" "Well, you leave." "And we all get back down to business as usual." "No more business as usual." "In fact, from now on in Broken Ridge, there's gonna be no business at all." "Period." "Broken Ridge has no ties with the UEO." "Like it or not, you have no authorization to control what we do down here." "That's right." "So you can dig all the gold you want out of this ridge." "But what are you going to do with it when you've got it?" "Sell it and get rich, mate." "[all laughing]" "Who are you going to sell it to?" "I've contacted the mineral dealers in Melbourne." "They tell me that they're responsible for 100%% ... of the gold purchased in this part of the world, yours included." "This is a free-enterprise zone." "The UEO isn't authorized to interfere..." "Unlike Mr. Cobb... the people I spoke to are very happy with the UEO." "The new peace and our presence here has been very good for business." "This is blackmail." "No, not blackmail." "A boycott." "It's very simple." "You have no one to sell your gold to." "[whispering] Mister?" "(Bridger) And no one's gonna get rich." "Not with Mr. Cobb around." "(Cobb) No, don't listen to him." "He's lying." "It's the truth." "And you know it." "Well, then, the Captain will just have to find someone else to buy our gold." "Right, Captain?" "Wrong."
