Quotes

Phase Six [1.1]

CDR Thomas Chandler: [grabs Scott's biosamples case] I swear to God, I will throw this overboard! I want answers! Dr Rachel Scott: You want answers? Seven months ago, outside Cairo, there was an outbreak-- a virus of unknown origin. Its genetic structure was like nothing any of us had ever seen. It swept throughout the village, killing everyone that it infected. Egyptian officials claimed the outbreak was contained, but it wasn't. Instead, it continued to mutate and spread. The CDC and the WHO wanted to sample the virus from the victims to create a vaccine. But nothing worked. It was my belief that we needed to find the primordial strain here in the Arctic. Chandler: The birds. Scott: They're just the carriers. They pick up the virus from the melting permafrost. We finally found their feeding ground. Chandler: So you have what you need to stop this thing? Scott: I won't know until we get it back to the lab. We're running out of time. The virus back home is moving quicker than any of us

Welcome to Gitmo [1.2]

CDR Thomas Chandler: I don't know how you feel about the water... but we sure could use your services. Tex Nolan: Where you headed? Chandler: We got some things to do, but when we're done, we're going home. Nolan: Yeah, I'll sign up for that.

Dead Reckoning [1.3]

CDR Thomas Chandler: Who else has been working on a vaccine? Dr Rachel Scott: What, in the world? Everyone. Chandler: What about the Russians? Were they close? Scott: I mean, nobody was making any real progress. And I hate to say it, but they're probably all dead anyway. Why? Chandler: If somebody had the primordial strain of the virus, the stuff you found in the ice, could they make a vaccine? Scott: I suppose, if they had the right equipment and someone qualified to run it. But they'd be months behind us.

We'll Get There [1.4]

CDR Thomas Chandler: Darien, I'm not going to the Med. Navy's sending us to the Arctic. Darien Chandler: The Arctic? That's crazy. Tom: Some cold-weather test on a new weapon system. It's all classified. It's happening very fast. We're gonna be at complete radio silence. No e-mails, no calls. Darien: For how long? Tom: Six months, maybe five. Darien: Figures. Tom: It's my last tour for a while. Then I'll be around the house so much, you'll be sick of me, I promise.

El Toro [1.5]

CDR Thomas Chandler: I'm guessing you must be El Toro. El Toro: I am, indeed. And who do I have the pleasure of talking to? Chandler: Tom Chandler, U.S. Navy. Your men took our weapons, CBR suits, and equipment. We're gonna need 'em back. El Toro: You won't need your suits. There is no virus here. As for your weapons, I cannot have your men walking around with machine guns. That would frighten my people. Chandler: Well, I'm afraid that's not acceptable. With respect, I don't have time to debate it. The remainder of my crew, some 200-odd U.S. Navy sailors, await our return aboard our destroyer, USS Nathan James, currently in the bay at the mouth of the river. We don't return by 2300 hours, they'll come looking. And rest assured, they will find us.

Lockdown [1.6]

Good evening, Nathan James. This is the captain. I wanted to inform you all of our progress in the mission. As you know, a small team entered Nicaragua to find primates for Dr. Scott's test, which she hopes will be a vaccine against the virus. While there, we encountered a drug lord who enslaved 150 people. We eliminated his men and we eliminated him, freeing those healthy people there to establish a life for themselves. We also encountered several dozen infected people, including children. Yesterday, we couldn't help them. But perhaps tomorrow, we will be able to, because we came back to the Nathan James with 34 monkeys. Dr. Scott will now conduct her trials on those monkeys. But we... We are not waiting. We're setting a course for home. By the time we get there, we believe Dr. Scott will have a vaccine, and our mission will be completed. Today's a good day. Carry on.

SOS [1.7]

Niels Sørensen: I don't understand why you won't listen to me. It's a splice overlap PCR reaction with an immune-modulatory gene. It will help the body identify the virus and create antibodies. Professor Lindblom: Yes, yes. You are young and have a bright career ahead. And don't waste your time with schoolboy science fiction. Sørensen: The virus is spreading. There are cases being reported beyond the Middle East. It will be in Oslo by winter. It is deadly and will likely mutate. We... Lindblom: Niels. I am well aware of what's at stake. But what you are proposing is too dangerous. The Australians tried it on mouse pox. It was a complete disaster. Sørensen: I've already done the experiment. Lindblom: What? Sørensen: On myself. Lindblom: While you were gone. And it worked. Sørensen: You are mad. Lindblom: I'm still here. Sørensen: Absolutely mad. Lindblom: I'm perfectly healthy. Professor Lindblom, please. Sørensen: You stay away from my lab. You hear me? I am finished with you! [storms

Two Sailors Walk Into a Bar... [1.8]

ADM Konstantin Ruskov: I'd like to treat you with the respect your rank affords, but you are going to have to meet me halfway. Now, tell me of Dr. Scott's progress with the vaccine. She's close, right? CDR Thomas Chandler: My name is Thomas Chandler, Commander, United States Navy, serial number 4242022634. Ruskov: There is no need for that. The Geneva Convention doesn't exist anymore. Hell, Geneva doesn't exist anymore! [laughs] Ah... Still won't talk? See, I told you. He would rather go it alone and die than share in the glory of saving the world. Why else would you, the ship's captain, personally lead the mission to save some poor island girl? Like with all tragic heroes, your hubris brought about your downfall. What do you have to say to that, Commander Chandler? Chandler: My name is Thomas Chandler, Commander, United States Navy, serial number 4242022634.

Trials [1.9]

Command Master Chief Russ Jeter: The ceremony will be at 0900. We'll have seven guns and the ensigns at half-mast. It'll be a hero's farewell. CDR Thomas Chandler: He wanted to redeem himself. Jeter: He never had to. Chandler: He gave his life for mine. Jeter: He gave his life for the mission. And now we're free... Chandler: To finish it.

No Place Like Home [1.10]

CDR Thomas Chandler: This is Tom Chandler, commanding officer of the USS Nathan James, over. Amy Granderson: Captain Chandler. You have no idea how good it is to hear your voice. We thought you were lost at sea. Chandler: No, ma'am, we're alive and well. Granderson: Oh! There you are. I got it. You must be nearby. I'm Amy Granderson. And I suppose an explanation is in order. As vice-chair of the President's defense policy board, I was briefed on your mission to the Arctic. I knew the risks of the coming pandemic, and I had my daughter transferred to your ship. You must forgive me. Chandler: No apology needed, ma'am. Your daughter's been an incredible asset. Pleased to hear from you. We had no word from the presidential bunker. Granderson: President Geller invited me underground. I declined. I-I felt the risk was too big to have so much of our civilian and military command in one confined space. Unfortunately, I was right. Chandler: So the government is gone. Granderson: For the most pa

Unreal City [2.1]

Amy Granderson: We have successfully taken control of the Nathan James. My people are collecting all your work as we speak. Now, with your research and your samples, Dr. Hamada and his team will eventually learn to make the cure themselves. Wouldn't it be better for everyone if you just agreed to work together? Dr Rachel Scott: Work together? What, on your Darwinian experiment? Save those that you deem worthy and, what, just forget the rest? Granderson: Perhaps I was overzealous in... "barbarians at the gate," I believe, is what you called them. Doctor, I watched a grown man beat a 12-year-old boy to death over a gas mask. I saw a woman stab her sister in the back for a can of beans. The apocalypse is here. It's been here for a long time. But I am willing to adjust my philosophy to suit your sensibilities if you just help me get the lab up and running. Scott: What about the captain? And my friends? Granderson: The best thing you can do for your friends is to let them know you've decide

Fight the Ship [2.2]

Attention people of Baltimore. USS Nathan James is back under the control of her crew. This ship is now engaged in the fight to free Baltimore and spread the cure for the Red Flu to all of its citizens. This message goes out to Amy Granderson and all those loyal to her. Nathan James has been liberated and has joined the fight against you. We demand your immediate surrender. Lay down your arms... or be subject to the full force of the United States Navy.

Fight the Ship [2.2]

CDR Thomas Chandler: There are 200 more where I came from. You heard my XO. We've taken back our ship, this building is ours, and we're telling the people of Baltimore that your kill zone at Olympia is out of business. You have two choices... a trial... or a funeral. Amy Granderson: [to bodyguard] I gave you a direct order. Shoot! [bodyguard wavers and stands down] Bodyguard: I am not going anywhere with you. Chandler: I found your daughter lying in a pool of her own blood, shot by your guards, under your order! My children were lined up to be murdered and sent to the ovens, along with thousands of desperate people... all so you can keep the lights on for your select few. Granderson: You don't know! The virus was spreading! So you get to decide who lives and who dies?! There was panic, Captain, and I remained calm. Everybody was fleeing underground, but I stood firm! There was no plan and I built this. I'm the reason these people have survived this long. Chandler: Except when you had t

It's not a Rumor [2.3]

Ray Mabus: [on video] Is this on? Can I start now? Man: Yes, sir. Mabus: The U.S. Navy is currently on a mission... CMC Russ Jeter: It's the secretary of the Navy. Mabus: ...to find the materials for a vaccine to combat the current deadly pandemic. Now, if y... you're viewing this video, you are a part of the new network of facilities in the United States and certain foreign nations which were chosen to produce and distribute the vaccine in the event their mission is successful. In order to protect the security of the labs in the new network, your locations have been kept secret. However, you'll be able to communicate with the civilian command, with each other via secure satellite connection. The codes for that connection have been embedded within the drive that contains this video. These codes have to be guarded at all cost. If... if and when a vaccine arrives... CDR Thomas Chandler: No one's decoded this yet? Lt Kara Foster: No, sir. We didn't know those encryptions existed until jus

Solace [2.4]

Damon: Me and my team were stationed up in Little Creek. When shit went down, we went inland. We only made it back here a few weeks ago. We got 34 military personnel in town as far as we can tell... some Army, some Marines, but mostly Navy. CDR Mike Slattery: Our intel says there's a biosafety Level IV lab on base here. Damon: There was, but the equipment got moved someplace and no one here can tell us where. We've been trying to divide the city into sectors, impose a level of control. We got people holed up in different safe houses... school gym, supermarkets, some of them even running on diesel generators. I don't know if we found them all yet, but we're still in the process of clearing the city. Slattery: My people are about to head out there soon, try to find their families. Any information I can give them ahead of time will be much appreciated. Man: And let me tell you something else... we are more than just survivors! We are more than our grief, we are more than our loss, and we

Achilles [2.5]

Dr Rachel Scott: Hope. Such a rarified concept these days. High in demand... [sighs] And short in supply. I'm enjoying recording these logs again. Until recently, I had given up on them. With no connection to the outside world, they were serving as little more than just a diary. But now with the satellite network up and running, they have become my trusty carrier pigeons. I am happy to report that the cure has landed safely in labs across the country and in Europe, and I am on my way to you, Dr. Hunter, my friend, my mentor. We'll be stopping first in Savannah to set up a lab there, before heading down to you in Florida with the cure. As promised, I am uploading my data to the secured satellite, and I would love for you to take a look at the work we've done, and get your thoughts on faster methods for replication. Because time, as you well know, is of the essence, and millions still continue to live at risk. So take of yourself, old friend, and I'll be seeing you shortly. Lt Carlton Bu

A Long Day's Journey [2.6]

Lt Alisha Granderson: It must have transmitted to the satellite right before the attack. Dr Rachel Scott: Have you watched it? Granderson: Only long enough to know that it was for you, ma'am. But even from what I saw... It wasn't easy to watch. [opens video] Dr Julius Hunter: Rachel, oh, God, I pray this gets to you. Listen, we're... We're under attack, Rachel, but it's important... It's important that you learn this. I've been working with the data you sent me about the cure. And I think I found a way to help. Using what I learned about the measles project... Now, I know you think that's crazy, but it works. I'm sending you the data now. It's here. Look, I don't... Oh, God. Listen, Rachel. It's all worked out. All you have to do is... I just somehow pray that this file gets to you, that you get it off the server, Rachel. [gets interrupted] MacDowell: Okay. Hunter: Got to know that... Rachel. MacDowell: Come on, now. Take it all. We need to find that server. Okay, doc. No. Stand up. Hu

Alone and Unafraid [2.7]

Jeffrey Michener: "...It is our responsibility as immunes to restore this great nation. And just as God chose Noah to survive the flood of the old testament, he has chosen us to survive this plague that washed away the sins of our world." CDR Thomas Chandler: Yes. Michener: Do I sound convincing? Do you believe it? Chandler: Why, yes. Of course, but I don't have Sean's charisma. Michener: I watched his videos. I've seen the translations into Spanish, Bulgarian. You don't understand the language, but you believe what he's saying. Chandler: Bulgaria? Michener: He has followers everywhere. I used to do Meet the Press every once in a while, but getting in front of crowds like this...

Safe Zone [2.8]

CDR Mike Slattery: Commander Mike Slattery. I'm the Executive Officer of this ship. Jeffrey Michener: I want to speak to the Captain. Slattery: Well, he's presently indisposed... Wanted us to get acquainted till he gets here. Michener: You are aware that kidnapping the President of the United States is a federal offense, punishable by death? Slattery: The Captain was under the impression he was rescuing you. Michener: At gunpoint, against my will? Slattery: Sir, I don't think you realize who the Ramseys are or what their goal is... Michener: You don't need to tell me anything. Slattery: No, sir, I don't. Unless you want to be fully informed. I'd like to show you something, if I may. This is from August. She was second in succession... President then. These were her orders to us. [plays video file of President Geller] President Kelly Geller: Morning, Commander. I know... the last you heard, I was Speaker of the House. The President died two months ago, the Vice-President a week later. W

Safe Zone [2.8]

CDR Thomas Chandler: You blame yourself. You think you could've done something differently. Somehow, all those people would be alive... Your wife, your daughters? What could you have done differently, Jeff? President Jeffrey Michener: Nothing. Nothing. Chandler: We're going to New Orleans. And you're going to help us defeat whoever it is that twisted you all around, but we are never gonna get there until you face whatever it is you can't let go of. Michener: There's nothing... Nothing to let go of! Chandler: It was your son, wasn't it? Michener: He was in Michigan. Summer session at the university. Chandler: You had him brought down to Florida. Michener: No. Chandler: Against CDC protocols!! Michener: No. Chandler: There was no way to test him, but he seemed okay, and you let him in the stadium. Michener: That's not... that's not what happened! Chandler: I have the records from the White House. Michener: No, you're wrong! Chandler: Two days after you brought him to Florida, there was a

Uneasy Lies in the Head [2.9]

CDR Thomas Chandler: He's not ready... Not yet, at least. CMC Russ Jeter: He's come a long way in a short time, Sir. Chandler: And I want you to get him the rest of the way there. Be his guide, his preacher, his father, his friend... Whatever he needs. Jeter: Aye, sir. LT Ravit Bivas: I was stationed in the West Bank for three years, another two in Gaza. Thought I'd seen everything. Then this pandemic broke out. And I thought, you know, maybe now we have this common enemy. We even have this cure that we want to give to people. Maybe, just maybe, we'll stop killing each other. But nothing's changed. It's all the same.

Friendly Fire [2.10]

CDR Thomas Chandler: I was hoping to get an update on your progress. Dr Rachel Scott: Well, I have a new plan. I was able to isolate the mutation in Niels' lungs that make him so contagious. And I introduced it to my vaccine. I injected myself with it about an hour ago, and then I breathed on an infected mouse, the same way that Niels used to breath on people as a way to kill them. If this works, if the mouse survives, in effect... I'll be able to breathe the cure onto people. And so will anyone else that I give this new shit to, which means that we won't need any more labs, any more infrastructure, or planes. All our problems will be solved. Chandler: Except one. [Inhales deeply] Did you do it? Scott: [scoffs] Oh, God. Are you really asking me this? Chandler: That's exactly what I'm asking you. Scott: The man who killed five billion people, including your wife and most of your crew's family, is dead. And now his lungs are gonna be used to save the rest of the people on this planet...

Valkyrie [2.11]

People of the surrounding area, my name is Sean Ramsey. I'm a lieutenant commander in the British Royal Navy. I came here as an ally of your United States Navy, but that was before I learned the truth. About the secret lab experiments, the release of the deadly virus by your military, and the subsequent government cover-up. By now, many of you will have seen the horrible video captured by witnesses on the scene. The US Navy ship that attacked New Orleans harbor was flying the American flag, but it doesn't represent you good people. That ship is a key part of a larger conspiracy to take over this country, and it won't be stopped until you are dead and a new world order is established. I know it's heartbreaking and Difficult to believe. But soon, you will have more evidence of the US Navy's role in creating the deadly virus. That is why we have created this mobile network to get out the truth... I am here to tell you that you are not alone. We Brits have not forgotten our special relatio

Cry Havoc [2.12]

CDR Thomas Chandler: Mr. President, as of today, this ship has gone from being one of the safest places on earth to one of the most dangerous. You'll disembark with a team of our most experienced operators, led by the XO, along with the other assets we can't afford to lose. US President Jeffrey Michener: I understand about the cure, about Dr. Scott, and about the children, but I'm the commander-in-chief... Chandler: Which is why you need to be protected at all costs. You saw what happened the last time we faced these guys. There's no real choice here, sir. Lt Danny Green: Kara. This sub... You've beaten them before. You'll sink it this time. Lt Kara Foster: Don't you dare make me raise this child by myself. Green: That will not happen. Okay?

A More Perfect Union [2.13]

US President Jeffrey Michener: This is President Jeffrey Michener addressing all Americans from the Navy ship the USS Nathan James, which is now entering the heart of this great nation, the Mississippi river. We are survivors of this great plague, just as you are. We have struggled, just as you have, and we still have great hope in the future, just as you do. I know that you've stayed alive this long by isolating yourselves... And your families, that many of you have been living in fear, Fear of the virus, fear of each other... Fear of the unknown. There have been people out there who have taken advantage of that. Despicable rumors and misleading videos have been broadcast from this network, lies designed to manipulate you, to make you believe that this ship and the people on it are your enemy. Nothing could be further from the truth. The men and women on this ship are some of the bravest, noblest that I have ever met, and it is an outrage that their commitment to bring all of us the c

The Scott Effect [3.1]

US President Jeffrey Michener: This is President Jeffrey Michener. As usual, I speak to you from the historic Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. On this, the 154th day of my presidency, I'm happy to announce that our American reconstruction plan continues on pace. In fact, if you're hearing me over an electric radio in the four corner states or seeing me for the first time on television, you already know that the Johnson hydroelectric plant is back online, providing consistent power to much of the Southwest. And from all over the country, we have more reports of Americans joining forces to fix the broken pieces of our nation. Yes, the American spirit is alive and well. Today, many of you will receive your newly printed ration cards to be used for all essential purposes. A reminder... These are not a replacement for U.S. currency. We continue to work with the banks to ensure everyone has access to their money and their property, but until our productivity can keep up with demand, th

Rising Sun [3.2]

US President Jeffrey Michener: Do you have some news for us? Chinese President Peng Wu: I'm afraid I do. It seems that Captain Chandler's plane had some very serious engine trouble as it tried to take off from our airport. Unfortunately, the plane went down. Michener: Plane went down? Are there any survivors? Peng: We are searching the waters now... but we are not hopeful. Allison Shaw: We walked right into this. Michener: It is certainly suspicious, Mr. President, with what happened in Vietnam. Peng: As I have told you, there are many rogue elements operating in the region. We suspected pirates at first, but your pilot radioed in with engine trouble. We are sending the transmission now between your pilot and our air traffic control. Michener: Yes. Obviously, we'd very much like to hear that recording. Peng: I assure you we will conduct a thorough investigation and keep you fully informed. Michener: Well, we appreciate that, President Peng, and we will speak soon. [Peng hangs up] Shaw:

Shanzhai [3.3]

CAPT Thomas Chandler: All that said, we have no concrete leads right now to help us find our people. US President Jeffrey Michener: But you're certain Peng is behind this. Chandler: He blew up our plane, to be sure But we have reason to believe that pirates from Shanzhai were responsible for the attack in Vietnam. Michener: So... We sortie the ships in Okinawa. Shackleton and Hayward can be in the region in a matter of days. Chandler: I appreciate that, sir, but those ships need to be in Japan, investigating the possibility of the virus mutation. And a larger presence here may draw attention, and it could be counterproductive. I need a lower profile. Michener: You? You're the Chief of Naval Operations and, for all intents and purposes, the head of our entire military. I need you running our global operations from here. Chandler: Sir, the James is without its senior leadership. I can't just leave anybody... Michener: I understand your loyalty to your people, Tom. Chandler: This isn't ju

Devil May Care [3.4]

Takehaya: America, I want you to see this. You have inhabited our lands and our seas for far too long. The plague has killed, but you're killed more. We want you out. So, Jeffrey Michener, you will hear my demands. There are two U.S. Navy destroyers at the port in Okinawa. You will order them to turn around and move out of Asian waters. I have already executed one of your sailors. Do not test me. If you do not comply within 36 hours, the executions will continue. CAPT Mike Slattery: What's with all the blood, anyway? Cure not good enough for you? Takehaya: The American cure is no cure. We were wiped out. Slattery: Then you didn't have the real cure. Takehaya: [shows vial] My dose. Made in USA. Slattery: Doesn't make any sense. Takehaya: The virus would've killed me. But I got lucky. I got shot. A transfusion from a cured person. The next morning, the symptoms were gone. But... it didn't last. Slattery: That's why you started hunting fresh blood. Our blood. You went to a lot of trouble

Minefield [3.5]

US President Jeffrey Michener: Gentlemen, Mrs. Price, I'll remind you that we were sitting around this table just five months ago. We put our hands together and we agreed that this was the best arrangement for the country under reconstruction. The presidency, here, in St. Louis with the Chief of Staff and my Secretary of Foreign Affairs chosen from your regions. Senator Beatty with the constitutional authority to ratify certain new laws, and I thank you for that... and an expectation that all of you would try to maintain control over your regions until we sorted out how the boundaries could be drawn or whether or not we needed to elect new governors. Now, we've got congressional elections coming up next month, after which the people, through the voice of the new Congress, can decide whether or not to retain my policies. Until then, I say this... get a handle on your people. If you can't and you really fear rioting, I will not hesitate to use the full force of our armed forces to mainta

Dog Day [3.6]

Your friends will die, but you will live, and you'll be tied to me for as long as your heart pumps blood.

In the Dark [3.7]

LT Danny Green: Dear Maria, earlier this morning, our team executed a mission to rescue the sailors who were taken from Vietnam. We were successful, but not without losses. Your brother, Javier, was among the three brave sailors who gave their lives in the operation. This was not the first time he put himself in harm's way for his shipmates. And I can honestly say that I'm alive today because of him. Javier was more than a sailor, Maria. He was a hero. He was not alone in his last moments. His last thoughts were of you and his beloved nephews. Javier never gave up and never gave in. And he lives on in the hearts of those of us who were lucky to serve with him. God bless. CAPT Tom Chandler: I want details about what happened after you received the cure. You can keep fighting us, thinking we're monsters, or you can cooperate, help us figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Takehaya: I heard the call over the radio. The Americans are coming with the cure. We rushed to the port, thou

Sea Change [3.8]

CAPT Mike Slattery: That's what Peng's hoarding. He could fire those missiles over uncured populations, so when the cure finally does arrive... It doesn't work. Sasha Cooper: That boat was headed to Taiwan on a run. Jesse saw the missile near Vietnam. Takehaya: And my wife saw the mist in Japan. By the time we got to the ports to receive the cure, it was already too late.

Paradise [3.9]

President Howard Oliver: And how certain are you of this intelligence? CAPT Tom Chandler: Fairly certain. Peng is too smart to do this out in the open. He'd build and transport these weapons out of sight to conceal his involvement. Oliver: And what do you need from me? Chandler: Sir, Shackleton and Hayward have been running in circles since this whole thing began. I'd like them to join us. We're gonna need them to take on Peng and what's left of his navy. Oliver: My understanding is that President Michener once offered you those ships and you turned him down, choosing to run this operation solo. Chandler: Yes, sir. Oliver: And since then, you've left a lot of bodies in your wake, many of them American sailors. Captain, we don't know each other well, but you need to know that if my first act in office is to declare war on China, I'd like to base it on something more than the testimony of smugglers and pirates. Chandler: Of course, sir. Oliver: Go to this Paraiso island, find the source

Scuttle [3.10]

Lt Kara Foster-Green: Maybe that's what the dots are. Jacob Barnes: No. The dots are prisons. Check them out. Green: Benton, Arkansas. Barnes: Yep. Green: Bismarck, North Dakota. Big Spring, Texas. Barnes: Yep and yep. 46 prisons for a population our size? All maximum security. And they're spread out evenly in the territories. Green: There's controlling the troops, hoarding the food, and expecting people to resist. Barnes: Beatty must've been getting cold feet. That's why he didn't go to the funeral. Green: That's why he was trying to get to Rivera.

Scuttle [3.10]

CAPT Joseph Meylan: Captain Chandler... Before we begin, you're entitled to make an opening statement. CAPT Thomas Chandler: I've spent half my life in the Navy. Like you, I did everything right. Worked my way through the pipeline just to get my chance to lead. Nathan James was my first command. Suddenly... I was thrust into a situation that no one can prepare you for. The world was turned upside-down, and all the rules were thrown out. But... the Navy taught me many things. Most importantly, it taught me to adapt. I had to make some difficult decisions. God knows I made some mistakes. But never once did I waver from what I knew to be right... The core values that run through all of our veins. Honor... courage... commitment. And I served my sailors as they served me and as we all serve this great country of ours. I didn't ask for this. I could've taken this uniform off at any time. But I always believed in the work that we were doing as a team, and the decisions that I was making as a

Legacy [3.11]

CAPT Tom Chandler: Peng's only destroyer now belongs to me. You should know Cobra Team found a payload of anti-cure missile on board. According to the crew, that's the last of it. Takehaya: So... it is done. The rest of Asia won't suffer as we did. Chandler: Let's get you home. Takehaya: I am home, Captain Chandler. I want to remain here... [Exhales deeply] On Japanese soil. Chandler: Takehaya. Takehaya: Kaito. My name is Kaito. Like my son. White House chief of staff Allison Shaw: ... We are strong people, and we have survived worse than this. And those who still love life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have come together and formulated a plan to move forward. So in the absence of any working federal government, and deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, your regional leaders, Price, Castillo, Wilson, and Croft hereby call for the immediate suspension of the government of the United States. Each region will be able to govern itself and focus on reconstruc

Resistance [3.12]

Manuel Castillo: Tom Chandler. Saved America from the virus, and they loved you for it. Then they got hungry. They miss things like heat, clean water, and Wi-Fi. They don't have any time for heroes now. So do your victory dance, and when the filthy masses turn against you, give me a call. I'll show you how to keep them in line. CAPT Thomas Chandler: But I will never cooperate. Here's the deal, Manuel... From here on out, you no longer get to decide what you will and will not do. See, you had the chance to kill me, again, and you blew it... again. So you will cooperate. Castillo: And why is that? Chandler: Your army turned on you without hardly a shot fired. Once your partners find out you lost control of your region and Beatty's... They will cut you out like the cancer you are. And let's not underestimate the "filthy masses." Once they hear what you're really about, you'll need more than an army to keep them in line. But we can always drop you back off at the depot, see for ourselves.

Don't Look Back [3.12]

Tex Nolan: You're a good man. [dies] Allison Shaw: Go ahead. Take me away. It won't matter. Somebody else will take my place, somebody who sees the world for what it is and seizes the opportunity. The people are too wounded and scared to think for themselves. Today they follow you, but tomorrow, they will find another golden calf to worship. That much I've learned. Are you so naive? Captain, ‭you didn't save the world. You unleashed the worst in human nature. You really want to save the people, you need to terrorize them. You need to take them by the neck and shake them. You need to be more terrible so that they don't have to be, and deep down inside, you know it's true. The America you believe in is gone! CAPT Thomas Chandler: I speak to you today a humbled man. I've made mistakes. I was silent when I should have spoken out. I ran when I should have stood and fought. But in adversity, we find strength and courage. The great Naval Captain Nimitz once said "God grant me the courage not

In Medias Res [4.1]

Gas Turbine System Technician First Class Michael O'Connor: [holds apple] So this could be one of the world's last apples? Chief Culinary Specialist Bernie "Bacon" Cowley: Nah, virus hasn't hit apples yet. O'Connor: Yet? Cowley: Six months ago, we said the same thing about corn. Cali: You are leaving. I can see it in your eyes. CAPT Tom Chandler: Alex told me that I couldn't run from destiny. I left home because I was confused... between justice and revenge. Cali: And now? Chandler: I want both.

The Pillars of Hercules [4.2]

CAPT Tom Chandler: Thank you very much. [sips] First-growth Bordeaux. Lucia Vellek: You have nice taste in wine, for a fisherman. Chandler: Just reading the label. Vellek: You shouldn't let it go to waste. Could be the last growth. Sasha Cooper: We can't wait! Lt Danny Green: Weapon now armed and locked! Requesting danger close fire mission! One five-inch round. I authenticate... Whiskey Lima Tango Niner Zero. Danger close. Confirm! LT Kara Foster-Green: [Sighs] We copy, Vulture. Set one five-inch round. Over. Batteries release. Kill target with guns.

Bread and Circuses [4.3]

Man: [in Italians] Next, hands. Give me your hands. CAPT Tom Chandler: I'm good. Man: Oh, you speak English, huh? Give me your hands. I'm gonna wrap 'em. You seem pretty calm for a guy facing death. Chandler: I've faced worse. Man: Oh, a warrior, huh? Yeah. Well, I've had my fill of warriors. Chandler: You picked a funny profession. Man: What, this? Oh, this is just a side gig, man. Here, they call me Il Dottore. Chandler: You're a doctor? Man: Philosophy. Everybody needs a philosopher, right? Especially now, this End of Days shit. Chandler: And you just hand out wisdom? Man: Indeed, I do. And here's your dose for today, man. Every single civilization since man walked out of a cave... Greece, Rome, Vikings, Asia, Aztecs, Africa... It's been ravaged and then decimated and devoured by the same set of fangs, and it ain't famine or plague or even war, in all of its lame excuse. It's the urge, man. The urge. Always dormant in our primordial brains, waiting like an arched leopard to pounce a

Bread and Circuses [4.3]

Announcer: [in Italian] Who is brave enough to fight Hercules? Man: [obviously drunk] I'll fight him. [stumbles trying to get past the ropes and everybody laughs at him] Announcer: [in Italian] Get out of here. Man: I'll tear him into pieces! Let's go. Giorgio... [Giorgio Vellek throws bottle at his feet. It shatters and everybody laughs at the man being startled] Distant voice: [in English] I'll fight him! [Mike Slattery appears] Announcer: [in Italian] Damn, what a big companion! People, our champion certainly has his work cut out for him today! [rings the bell] Crowd: Hercules! Hercules! CAPT Mike Slattery: Hercules? New call sign? CAPT Tom Chandler: You like it? [Chuckles] Come on now. Make it look good. [the men parry but Slattery gets one good hit] I probably deserved that. [the men lock up; whispers] Let me guess... You're here for seeds. Slattery: How'd you know that? Chandler: They're in the basement. Slattery: You're on the inside in this? Chandler: Buyer's in the VIP box. Sl

Nostos [4.4]

il Dottore: You two are the butt of the biggest con since Ulysses jumped out of a wooden horse. Tom Chandler, on my yacht, in my house. And you two let it happen. I was that close to that guy. I was that close. He could've recognized me. Giorgio Vellek: I didn't know it was Tom Chandler. I-I thought he was just a fisherman. il Dottore: What did you say? What did you say to me? Hmm? What did you say to me? Giorgio Vellek: I thought he was just a fisherman. il Dottore: A fisherman. You thought. God, Giorgio, we are in the midst of a tectonic shift of a paradigm of human behavior. Now is not the time for you to think!

Allegiance [4.5]

Dr Paul Vellek: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves." Climate, disease, famine terrify us. And our terror begets chaos, aggression, and violence. And there's your end of days, man. World of hazards shifts at the speed of light... [snaps fingers] and we are neither poised, facile, or quick enough to adapt, thus, we panic, accelerate into hysteria, and kill each other. And this deficiency is exactly what destroyed every single civilization before us and is exactly what threatens to obliterate us now if we do not rapidly resolve ourselves to the hard problems and salvation that lie within evolutionary biology. And this is where I come in. [students laugh] Face it, natural evolution is a bust, man. Natural evolution used to be smart, but now it's half-baked and inefficient. Remember the appendix? Who the hell needs the appendix now? Appendix has been rolling around inside of us like dead weight for more than a millennium. Natural evolution is done. But with trans

Tempest [4.6]

Dr Paul Vellek: I'll explain it one more time. Look, Admiral, it is right there. It is right there in that blank box. ADM Demetrius: What exactly am I supposed to be seeing there? It's as clear as a bell. Vellek: It's the answer, the key, the eye of the hurricane. The proverbial missing link to my formula to save this planet lies within those seeds. Without those seeds, I have no product. Without the product, your country continues to starve. And that is exactly, Admiral, what you should be seeing in that blank box. Demetrius: Doctor, I am a simple man. I don't have your gift with figures, but my patience can only last so long. You asked for our support. Greece gives you her confidence. You asked for fighters, we give you a warship. What, Dr. Vellek? What do you ask of my country now? Vellek: More, Demetrius. I'm asking your country for more.

Feast [4.7]

Christos Vellek: Well? Dr. Paul Vellek: You see? I told you. [puts arm over Christos' shoulder] We did it. Christos: Tell us, Papa. Paul: The virus weathered two ice ages. It didn't just jump species, it jumped kingdoms, and it unleashed the most massive twin pandemic the world has ever known. Yet this seed, this small palm, Elaeis Virilis, survived all of it. I'm now going to take a bit of the genius of Mother Nature, I am going to mix it with my own, and I'm going to save this planet in an act of such benevolence that people will question why they ever believed in any other God. ADM Demetrius: Something's wrong with me. I can feel it. Dr Paul Vellek: Can you now? Well, I've switched off a single primal compulsion in you, Demetrius. An ugly one. I've freed you, man. Demetrius: I must go home to my people, Doctor. They need me. Vellek: No, no, no, no, no, no, Admiral. You're staying with me now. You, sir, are proof of concept. The inaugural man... homo Pacificus. And judging by the res

Lazaretto [4.8]

CAPT Tom Chandler: So Vellek isn't just injecting the fighters with Nostos, he's baking it right into their food. LT Danny Green: It appears so, sir. CAPT Mike Slattery: So that's why he wanted the seeds. He cures the Red Rust, mixes in the Nostos to create food that'll pacify his enemies. Chandler: It's the perfect weapon. People eating it won't even know. Slattery: Well, even if they did, what choice would they have? CDR James Fletcher: I say again, Nathan James, this is Commander James Fletcher. You were right. A biological weapon, something to do with behavior control. I'm not sure exactly how he's planning on using it, but we're in a warship headed to Malta. I say again, we're headed to Malta. You must stop him. You're the only ones who can. I know this doesn't make things right. You must believe me, I only did this to serve my country. Sasha, I'm so sorry I hurt you. I hope even if you don't forgive me, that you'll understand. I never meant to hurt - [signal is cut] Christos Vell

Detect, Deceive, Destroy [4.9]

Giorgio Vellek: You'll do as my sister ordered and continue on to Malta. ADM Stavros: You Velleks, always looking for a battle with no idea how to fight one. Lucia Vellek: Let me remind you, Stavros, that it was my father who put you in charge. And you can easily be replaced. Greece doesn't eat until the Velleks are happy. Boatswain's Mate Third Class Ray Diaz: Hey, Nolan. You know, if you're still looking for a call sign, I got one for you: Cupid. Lucia Vellek: Giorgio's gone. Did you hear what I said, Dad? Giorgio's dead. Dr Paul Vellek: The Nostos... I'm out of it. Do you have any? Lucia: Your son has died. You need to feel that. Christos can't help you. He's been gone for years. And even dead, he cast a shadow over Giorgio and me. And now Tom Chandler has killed your only son. Giorgio died protecting me! He died protecting you! All Giorgio ever wanted to do was make you happy... and all you ever did was show him contempt. If you had just done what I said, that ship would never have

Endgame [4.10]

Lucia Vellek: All of our warships are gone, Dad. We can't go to Malta. Dr Paul Vellek: Leningrad. [sighs] We can't go there either. September 1941. Hittler's troops lay siege to Leningrad for days of the blackest, most wretched misery in human history. Do you have any idea what happens to your body when starvation sets in? It shrinks. Heart and lungs compress. Eyes, testicles, ovaries just shrivel up and wither away. Your muscles devour themselves. Temperature falls, you freeze. Lucia: Why are you telling me this? Paul: Nikolai Vavilov is why I'm telling you this, my daughter. I'm telling you this because hidden in a bunker barely feet beneath that monstrous decay and rot of existence in Leningrad was salvation, Lucia. The world's first global plant bank from Vavilov. Ten thousand seeds, roots, vegetables, protected not by guns but by science. By science. Yet even Vavilov's devoted acolytes couldn't beat the terror raging above them. And finally they, having never even touched one plan

Casus Belli [5.1]

ADM Thomas Chandler: This is how war begins. Athens and Sparta fought during a plague which wiped out much of the population. - Sound familiar? But the war brought only more death and destruction because people let their fear, their honor, their interest cloud their judgment. The Peloponnesian War may be ancient history, but its lessons are not. You here will be the first graduating class of midshipmen to enter the Navy since our own troubles ended just three years ago. We're in a time of peace, but peace doesn't keep itself. Ours is a small navy, which means... your importance to the mission is even larger. And you will take the lessons from history, both ancient and very recent, with you as you enter service. When you put on the uniform, you can't let your fear or your pride or your selfish interest lead you astray, or people die. We have to think differently because we are different. We are warriors. President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros: I will now speak directly to our enemies in a lang

Fog of War [5.2]

CDR Kara Foster-Green: Many of you here are new to the Navy... new to this ship. Some of you, we've been here before. Either way, what happened in Mayport is not something you ever get used to. It hurts. And it was meant to hurt. That's what our enemy wanted to do. And today, he succeeded. It caught us off guard, sent a powerful message, trying to shake our resolve. But a war isn't lost because we're hurt. For over three years, the United States Navy has built, sustained, and protected its war-fighting culture. This attack doesn't change that. In fact, it will once again bring out the best in us. Our enemies have underestimated us. And if you doubt that, look back at the past few years. Look at the people who've been on this ship. When trouble arises, we have proven time and time again, no matter the enemy, no matter the odds, one ship can do it. This ship can do it. Midshipman Clayton Swain: Admiral Chandler? ADM Thomas Chandler: Mr. Swain, before the planes came, the US was the victi

El Puente [5.3]

ADM Mike Slattery: Now, you listen to me. You and your men are gonna cut this shit out, you're gonna bury the hatchet. you're gonna make a deal, or I promise you, you will be swimming home. Escort them to the wardroom. Move! ADM Thomas Chandler: This is Nathan James, calling Gustavo Barros. We just took out your airwing, and you didn't lay a glove on us. And you can mark that up along with your Corvette. Payback for Mayport. You may have hit us hard, but you didn't finish us. You know why? Because you can't. And now Mexico and Cuba have joined the fight. So this message goes out to all of Central and South America. There is a choice now. Join us. Send Gustavo back into the dirt hole he crawled out of. We fight for peace. But make no mistake... we will fight. And this ship and this crew? They're damn good at it. So, Gustavo... come at us again. I dare you. This is Nathan James. Out. [to bridge crew] Now, they know who we are, where we are. Let's be ready for what they throw at us. Bridg

Tropic of Cancer [5.4]

CDR Alisha Granderson: I didn't want to believe it. All those questions. "Is Nathan James okay?" "Is Tom Chandler alive?" "Tell me, tell, me, tell me." You used me as a weapon. How long? Kelsi Baker: Since before we met. Granderson: Why? How?! Baker: It was my duty. Surely, you can understand that. Granderson: You're insane. Baker: I'm insane? No. Insane is believing in lies and closing your eyes to the truth. Insane is having blind faith in a corrupt power structure. No, we need... What the people yearn for is an awakening. Have you heard Tavo speak? Have you heard his message? "The first step towards tyranny" "is to believe" "the government will take care of everything." Granderson: Kelsi, did I mean nothing to you? Baker: Oh, I did care about you, Alisha. You should know that. And for awhile there, I thought I loved you, but... you and me, what we are... That doesn't even matter. Not now.

Warriors [5.5]

ADM Thomas Chandler: I was gonna wait till we were on the flight home, but it looks like we got a couple minutes, so let's take some time. You're the architect of Gustavo's war machine. What's the sequel to Plan Azul? Haiti, Puerto Rico, Bahamas? Dr Manuel Montano: I fight for the Latin American people. So that we will no longer be dependent on the whims of the north. Chandler: Now you sound like your boss. Montano: You're a man of war, Admiral. And a professor, as I understand. You tell me... how many invasions, bombs, coups, CIA black ops, and other interventions does it take before people push back? Chandler: America's not your enemy. Montano: America is a continent, not a country, Admiral. Learn that... maybe you'll understand La Revolución. Gustavo's not a revolutionary. He's not fighting to right old wrongs. Chandler: He's a strong man and an opportunist, and he's killing more of your people than ours. Montano: I did not say I support Gustavo. Chandler: You're not in Jamaica guar

Air Drop [5.6]

Reporter: I'm curious if your thinking has changed or if you regret starting a war with the United States. President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros: We didn't start this war. Reporter: You sank a US fleet in Mayport on the very day that your loyalists murder the duly-elected leader of Panama. That sounds textbook. Barros: Mayport wasn't an attack, nor was it the beginning. You're young, but smart enough to know the US's history of murder and political insurrection in Latin America. Guatemala '54, Cuba '61, D.R. '65, Chile '73, Nicaragua '82, Grenada '83. This war is a battle for the survival of the people of Gran Colombia. Reporter: So, is this your justification for the forced conscription, the purges, the death squads? Barros: Where do you get this information from? Reporter: Several accounts from defectors... Barros: Defectors from what? Our borders are not closed. People are free to come and go as they wish. Reporter: Their accounts are remarkably consistent. Barros: This isn't a war of pub

Somos la Sangre [5.7]

They built our Command Center. This is what Camp-X is for! They're training to take SOUTHCOM.

Honor [5.8]

General Hector Martinez: Tavo, you did it. You beat the president. You have his high command. Push now for surrender. President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros: Not yet, brother. Martinez: Forget Chandler. He is not worth it. Get out now, and you win. Barros: You know, that's your problem, Hector. You don't know what it means to win! I win when Tom Chandler is on his knees, bowing to me, chanting my name. Martinez: Viva Tavo.

Courage [5.9]

President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros: Bad news, Hector. The generals? They were plotting against me. General Hector Martinez: Who, Tavo? Barros: Eat, Hector. Gazpacho shouldn't be allowed to warm to room temperature. It's good. Martinez: There must be a mistake. You're telling me there was a coup amongst my generals? Barros: Your generals? I hope they aren't your generals, Hector. No. They're cowards. And I warned you against them. Martinez: [Spanish] Are you sure? I've known these men a very long time. I would have heard something. Barros: There is no mistake, Hector. Martinez: So you have proof? Barros: Conchita saw it. In the cards. Martinez: Tavo. We cannot play with men's lives. These cards cannot always be trusted. Barros: They confessed. Chacon, Bianchi, Rodriguez, Munos, Moreno. Every single one of them. Martinez: Oh, my God. Barros: But it doesn't matter, not really. All I wanted to know... the only thing I asked them before I removed their intestines was, did Hector know? Of cours

Commitment [5.10]

Gustavo "Tavo" Barros: Where is he... Tom Chandler? Where is he? Danny Green: He couldn't be bothered. Sasha Cooper: The war's over. Your army surrendered. Your turn. Tavo: I will only surrender to Tom Chandler, soldier to soldier. Green: We'll send your regards. Get on the floor. Now. [shoots Tavo when he tries to reach for a pistol; as he dies] Viva Tavo. President Jeffrey Michener: I'm proud to honor you today for your service to the U.S. Navy, our great nation, and the world. Captain Chandler, are you ready to be relieved of command? Admiral Chandler: Who am I passing off command to? Commander Alicia Granderson: We have the watch, sir. Captain Andrea Garnett: We have the watch. LTJG Will Mason: We have the watch. Petty Officer Cosetti: We have the watch. Lieutenant Commander Barker: We have the watch. Chief Hospital Corpsman Doc Rios: We have the watch. Commander Carlton Burk: We have the watch, sir. Admiral Joseph Meylan: Bosun, stand by to pipe the side. Shipmates going ashore. [
