What'd ya say?

I was on the ocean in a boat.

It's a dream, wake up.

That's the third time you've had that dream this month.

What do you think? Do you think that new site for the missile platform is a lock?

I don't know... Van Gelder seems to think so.

Yeah.

- With any luck, we'll be home in a week. - That's good, I'm ready.

Yeah.

What are you gonna do when we get out of here?

I'm gonna hang out with Laidlaw's family for a while till I get another assignment.

I hear the Captain's got a great wife.

Great wife, great kids.

The Captain... he's got it made.

So, how come you never got married?

Too early for this kind of conversation.

No, really, why didn't you ever get married?

Um, I've never been in one place long enough to get to know somebody,

let alone settle down.

We've gotten pretty close the last couple of months, don't you think?

Yeah... get any closer, we'd be wearing each other's shorts.

It's different with you anyway. You're like one of the guys.

One of the guys?

Hey.

How are you feeling? Is your stomach still bothering you?

Yeah, I think it's that dried-out junk we had for dinner last night.

- It made me sick. - You should have Dr. Norris examine you.

No, I'm okay, really, I just... I'm just tired of the food down here.

Yeah, me, too. I would kill for a Big Mac.

- Locking collar? - We cracked it.

- Umbilicals? - They're clear.

Get ready to detach.

You know, this is about the twentieth time I've read this magazine.

Man, I cannot wait to read a new one.

Yeah, or see a new movie.

Yeah, how about breathing fresh air?

I'll tell you, six months at the bottom of the ocean is more than I bargained for.

- That's national security for ya. - Peace is our profession.

Exactly.

There she blow.

Transponder contact, 550 meters.

- Reduce speed. - DSRV-2 to Seatrak, come in, please.

This is Seatrak. Go, Richardson.

We're on the turnpike.

It's about time... you know, the shift change

was supposed to be 20 minutes ago.

Well, good morning to you, too, Snyder.

How about putting a little candle in the window for us there, pal?

Work lights on, homing beacon activated.

I'll see you in a few.

Collar in place, umbilicals locked.

And our pressure's steady. Airlock purge engaged.

- Hodges... Hodges! - Yeah?

Come on. Time to make the world a better place to live in.

- See you later. - Beton it.

Hey, hey, hey.

Welcome aboard.

Always a pleasure, it's always a pleasure.

Well, well, well, the sub of the sound... how are ya?

Johnny, my man, what it be like?

- Yeah, another day in paradise. - A little reading material for you.

Oh, thank you... listen, hey, I left something in your video machine.

- Are we talking about Ms. September? - Yes, and a word "nasty."

- Is it hot? Is it wet? - Oh, it's hot... it's wet.

- Is it smooth? Is it ripe? - It's smooth... yes!

You dog.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- I see you've been very busy at work, huh? - Oh yes.

Snyder and I have drifted the missile sled over the site last night.

We just stabilized the platform.

And I've calculated the new trajectory position,

and put it into the computer this morning.

Oh, good... oh, when you finish,

have Collins and her men anchor the platform.

Oh, no... we have to do the sounding before we can anchor the platform.

Oh, no, no... that's not necessary.

This whole area of the seafloor is stable.

Yes, but even the smallest geological defect

can cause a platform instability, and then...

I don't want to see a stray missile hitting some nice house in Connecticut

and ruining some nice dinner.

Very well, take some soundings.

But, I'll get Collins to start excavating the site.

Now, let's wait... wait till I get the soundings.

I don't have time to wait.

- Yeah, but... - You have your orders, right?

- You all set to go, Doc? - Yes, any time you're ready.

- Snyder, you wanna secure that hatch. - Securing the hatch.

DSRV-2 to Seatrak. We are secure for departure.

- Morning, campers. - Morning, Captain.

- Snyder, would you slow down? - What's a matter, Doc?

- You worried about my health? - No, mine... you're making me sick.

- I thought we were out of oatmeal? - That's eggs.

- Not eating, Scarpelli? - No, sir, I've got some work to finish.

But, I'll get something on the way in.

- Captain, I... - You've been working too hard, Scarpelli.

- I want you to take the day off... rest. - But, I've gotta finish...

- That's an order. - Yes, sir.

You know, that's great... After breakfast I could help you with a few sets.

Uh-uh, you fix the leak in the docking bay.

Okay, but then after that, I think I can just help...

And then, after that,

you'll fix the starter in DRSV-1.

All right, exactly, but I think after that...

Then after that, you report to me for another work assignment.

I said it was Scarpelli's day off, not yours.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

That sound always gives me the creeps.

It's only the structure adjusting to the pressure.

I designed it to do that.

Oh, Snyder, go and call Collins for me, will you?

- Mind if I finish eating first? - This is important.

- You just talked to her an hour ago. - Damn it, Snyder!

- Snyder. - Okay.

A guy can't even finish breakfast around here.

Calm down.

Now there's a guy who needs a day off.

- More like a month. - Yeah.

Bullpen, this is Deepstar. Please, acknowledge.

- Bullpen, please acknowledge. - Go ahead, Deepstar.

- How's it going, Collins? - Okay.

Switch us over to video, please.

- She's all yours. - I want a progress report.

We've got no progress to report.

I've ordered Hodges and Osborne to stop digging.

Why?

Burciaga noticed some unusual soundings underneath the excavation.

What kind of soundings?

- We think there's a cavern under the site. - Oh, Christ.

Yeah, I think you better come take a look at it.

No, no... I'm not going to waste time

coming down there... besides, it's too late to request a site change.

- The Navy would shut us down. - The Navy's gonna shut us down anyway.

Burciaga said you can't install a missile sled over a cavern.

It undermines the foundation.

Well, fine... collapse the cavern with explosives,

- and put the missile sled on top. - According to the soundings,

that cavern's pretty deep. I don't think it's a good idea.

Look, I don't care how deep the cavern is!

Use one of the damn missiles to blow it up if you have to.

But, I want that missile sled in place before the end of the week.

I think he likes you, Collins. This is Deepstar.

Have a nice day.

Jeeze, what a jerk.

- Seatrak to Seacat, come in. - This is Seacat, over.

Prepare an explosives package right away.

- My eggs are cold. - Put it in the microwave.

God, you complain.

- That doesn't sound right. - Really?

The rotor's jammed.

- Borrow that pen for just a second? - Help yourself.

There we go... that's got it.

- Here ya are. - And what was wrong with your pen?

Well, nothing... mainly because I don't stick it in garbage disposals.

- Great. - No, no, no.

Get back to work.

Fuel consumption report you requested, chief.

- Thanks, Mac. - Sure.

- Good morning. - Hey.

- You have the duty roster, Snyder? - It's on your desk, Cap.

Mhm, did you get your work assignments?

Yeah, don't worry, I'm on top of it.

- What did Collins have to say? - They found something under the site.

She said something about a cave.

They found a cave underneath the missile site?

Did she give you any details about it? I mean, what was the depth?

She said it was big cave, Scarpelli... I don't know.

- Snyder told me you found a cavern. - Yes, Collins and her crew found one

- under the excavation site. - I'd like to go out and take a look.

No, there's no time... I ordered them to collapse it with explosives.

But, this could be the only chance I get to make a study before we leave.

Oh, if you've seen one cavern, you've seen them all.

"In 1848, the English ship The Valiant reported that these waters contain..."

Mysterious creatures of all sizes and types.

"One of these creatures measured almost ten meters in length."

The Valiant report is pure speculation.

In the same area. In 1983, a sonar man

aboard a US Navy warship, the Matthew Rogers,

reported sizable sonar contacts moving with incredible speed and agility.

Look, that's all very well, but what has that got to do with the cavern...?

Operation Deepwell made six unsuccessful attempts to penetrate the Earth's crust

right here in 1963. They lost drill bits down in the cavern.

They sent in four divers, and none of them returned.

- What's your point? - My point is that we have no idea

what type of marine life we're dealing with! You've got to let me go out there.

- No, I'm too far behind schedule. - My work is just as important to me

- as yours is to you... - Ms. Scarpelli, you're young,

and you've worked very hard to get the opportunity to come here and do research.

- Yes, I... - I'm sure you understand that sometimes,

in order to get what we want, we have to make sacrifices.

And one day when we can prove to the Navy that

a permanent colony can exist at this depth,

we will conduct research into all areas of marine biology,

including cave dwellers... please, please.

But, we have...

Please, you'll have to excuse me.

This is only gonna clear up if you keep it dry.

"Keep it dry," what are you kidding? I'm in a leaky can at the bottom of the ocean.

- How am I supposed to keep it dry? - Well, you just do the best you can.

You know, I wouldn't have this shit if we'd have gone topside when we were supposed to.

Just be patient, Snyder... I know it's a stretch.

We'll be going up as soon as Van Gelder gets the missile sites in place.

Oh yeah, when's that gonna be? He's had six months.

I don't know why the Navy trusts this guy to put in a missile base?

- He's not in the Navy. - He's been doing the best he can.

- He's under a lot of pressure. - Well, I'm under a lot of pressure.

You know, "Snyder fix this," "Snyder fix that"... ow.

I don't know what you guys would do without me.

Probably drown. Get dressed.

I could stay down here another six months if I had to.

But, just when you sign on for a four-month tour, it ought to be four months.

- A deal's a deal, am I right? - Give it a rest, Snyder.

You've got some pull. You could do something.

Norris... get me topside, please.

- Please. - I'll try.

Thank you.

It's open.

- Captain? - I'll be right with you, Scarpelli.

Have a seat.

- Your son? - Yeah, that's my little Mikey.

The artist. I told him it was beautiful down here.

- Flowers, trees. - Must be nice having a family.

Some days it's the only thing that keeps me going.

- Pretty anxious to get home? - Yes, I am.

Now why don't you tell me why you came in here, Scarpelli.

Captain, I'd like for you to talk to Dr. Van Gelder

about letting me travel out to the missile site.

Why do you wanna go out there?

Well, Collins discovered these unusual caverns,

and I'd like to go out and take a look... The only problem is

Van Gelder is planning on blowing them up in order to place the missiles.

Look, Scarpelli... if Van Gelder doesn't get that missile platform in place

by the end of the week, the Navy's gonna close the book on Deepstar project.

Captain, I have been studying these waters for six months.

Now, the history alone demands that we proceed with extreme caution.

Those caverns need to be checked out before they're blown up,

otherwise, we have no idea what we're getting into.

- I think it's a big mistake. - To be honest with you, Scarpelli,

I wouldn't care if they took a shovel to this place tomorrow.

Now, my job is to make sure Van Gelder gets that site operational

- before we return to the surface. - It's not safe.

And look, I'm sorry.

I still think it's a big mistake.

Come on.

That water rationing can be a bitch, can't it?

- Very funny. - It looks like you're gonna have to wait

24 hours before you can finish this shower.

Unless, of course, you can find someone and persuade them

to let you use their card.

It's getting cold.

Let her down. Let her down... easy.

I got it.

Easy... ea... easy.

- You asshole. - Sorry.

Seacat to Seatrak. Last package in place.

- Ready to rock and roll. - Okay, give me some distance, guys.

Okay, that's far enough, guys.

- Let her rip. - Ready?

Fire in the hole.

The sea floor is giving way!

- Oh shit! - Back it up... back it up!

Hey, you guys all right?

-Yeah... yeah, we're okay.

- As soon as I scrape out my drawers. - Okay.

Prep a remote. I wanna see what you guys are sitting on.

- Aye-aye. - Are they serious?

You heard the lady. Prep a remote.

Shit. Remote batteries up to full.

Motors up. Internal guidance system engaged.

- Camera's on. - Launch remote.

Remote away.

Signal's coming through now.

Seacat to Seatrak. Stand by to receive remote signal.

Standing by.

It's like another world.

Under every deep,

a lower deep opens.

- What's that? - Emerson.

Oh shit, we should be recording this!

Seacat, I want to run a tape on this.

Christ, next thing you know she'll wanna take some stills.

You know what, Hodges, let's get some stills on it too.

Start the VTR.

- Set the stills for five-second intervals. - Aye-aye.

VTR rolling and recording. Port and starboard still cameras

on and running at five-second intervals.

Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?

We lost the signal... must be on the fritz again.

- See if you can fix it. - Shit.

We're not getting any signal up here, guys.

Yeah, we know.

- We're, uh... we're working on it. - Goddamn piece of junk.

You'd better bring it up.

- We lost the remote. - Not again.

Van Gelder's gonna shit kittens when he finds out.

I can hear him now: "Assholes, you know how expensive remotes are?"

You wanna go after it?

- You mean, just go? - Who'll know?

- Standing by. - Prepare to detach.

- Detach. - We're away.

Can't wait to show these tapes to Scarpelli.

She's gonna wet her panties.

Underwater volcanoes in this area have been active here for a long time.

This cavern was probably formed by a lava bubble.

So, could sea creatures have been trapped under the lava and survived?

- I imagine it's possible. - So, they could be thousands of years old?

Maybe millions.

Let's see what the guys have picked up on the remote.

Seatrak to Seacat. Come in.

- Look they've detached. - What are you guys doing?

Um, we're experiencing some difficulties with the remote.

- Did you lose it again?

- We're attempting to rectify the situation.

- If you lost that remote, you're in big trouble.

- Wha... what was that again?

- Hodges!

- We're... having trouble... - with the transmission...

If we get away with this, it'll be a miracle.

All right, there it is right there, the remote.

Let's bring it aboard and get the hell out of here.

What's a matter? You gonna let a few ugly fish scare you?

This place just starting to give me the creeps.

I just... I just don't like caves.

Sonar contact, bearing: 237.

- Sonar contact? Down here? - Contact closing.

300 meters... 250.

200 meters... 150 meters.

- Well, I don't see anything. - 100 meters!

- Holy shit, I don't fucking believe it! - Seacat to Seatrak! Mayday! Mayday!

- Look at the fucking size of that thing! - Shut up and get us the hell out of here!

- Seacat to Seatrak! - Hey, wait, stop!

What's wrong, Seacat?

Seacat, come in. Hodges! Do you read?

They're in trouble. See if you can get a fix on them.

Okay.

- There's nothing... no contact. - Well, that's impossible.

Are you telling me they've disappeared?

- No contact. - You're sure?

Okay, I'm calling Laidlaw.

Deepstar 6, this is Seatrak. Come in.

Deepstar 6, this is Seatrak. Come in.

Shit!

- I've got contact. - So, are they heading back?

I don't think it's Seacat.

It's moving too fast.

- What is it, Collins? - We've lost contact with the Seacat.

- Well, what do you want me to do about it? - Get me the Captain.

- The Captain's busy and so am I. - Get Laidlaw now, Snyder!

Yes, ma'am, right away.

Bitch.

- What the hell was that? - I don't know, check the stabilizers!

Mayday! Mayday! Deepstar, come in! This is Seatrak!

Deepstar 6, come in, this is Seatrak! Mayday!

Come in, Deepstar, come in!

- Mayday! - Stabilizers are out!

Mayday! Come in! Something's up there!

Something is pushing us over!

What the hell is that?

Left and right, the switch.

Ahh!

- Here's the Captain, Collins. Go ahead. - Put her over the speaker.

Say again, Seatrak.

Seatrak, this is Deepstar. Please acknowledge.

Shit!

- I lost her. - Trouble?

I don't know... she called me and said she'd lost contact with the Seacat.

Now, uh, I've lost contact with her.

Sounds as if the transmitter's screwed up again.

- Yeah, probably. - When is the shift change?

- Fourteen hours.

- I'd better take a ride out there and check it out.

Okay.

All right, Sport, let's hit it.

- She's washed, waxed, and ready to roll, Dad.

- Okay, close us up.

You got it.

Okay... Deepstar 6, how do you read?

- Loud and clear.

- Alrighty, let's stand by for assistance check.

- Pressure? - Pressure: 3.6 and holding.

- Check. - Oxygen?

- Oxygen is 4.0. - Check.

- Fuel? - 412 pounds.

- Pressure steady. - Locking collar?

- Retracted. - Umbilicals?

- Clear. - Check.

- Henway? - Henway ready.

- Wait, wait... what's a henway? - Oh, about three to four pounds.

Very funny, assholes. DSRV-2, you are checked out and clear for departure.

- Have a nice day, Snyder. - I got your nice day right here, McBride.

- My heart is still beating? - Yes.

Good, I thought it stopped.

Let me get some of this stuff off of you.

- Ah! - What is it?

- My legs. - Okay.

I can't move them.

- Merde. - Bad, huh?

- I've seen worse. - I don't think so.

- Did you see what hit us? - No, I have no idea.

Let me see if I can move this.

God, it's too heavy.

Come on, you gotta stay awake until help comes.

- Someone's gonna come help us soon. - You think...

- You think I'll make it? - Yeah, hang on. Just keep talking.

At least one good thing will come out of it.

- We'll be going home soon. - Yeah.

Seatrak, this is DSRV-2 enroute.

How do you read? DSRV-2 to Seatrak.

Do you read?

- Come in, Seatrak. - They've had hours to fix that radio.

Hodges and Osborne couldn't fix a toaster.

Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this.

- I think she's in trouble. - Collins can take care of herself.

- Yeah, I know. - Are you ever gonna marry that girl?

What me marry Collins? Get outta town!

- She's a great lady. - Tell me something I don't know.

She was the first woman to graduate the SEALS.

She's on the fast track to OCS. She's one of the Navy's finest.

She don't need some submarine pilot from New Jersey

who's never had more than a week's pay in his pocket.

- I'd be holding her back. - So, apply to OCS.

I've got some pull. Tell her to help. You can make it.

Ah, you kill me, man. Come on! Can you see me in an officer's uniform?

With starched collar and shiny shoes. No fucking way.

I'm just moonlight till the oil business picks up.

- This deep water shit's for the birds. - Fish.

Yeah, those too.

Sonar contact. Bearing: 175.

- 600 meters steady. - What kind of contact?

I'm not sure.

- What do you make of this? - What the hell's that, a whale?

- Not at this depth. - A sub?

I don't think... hey, wait a second.

Changing course. New bearing: 135.

At 500 meters, still closing.

Whatever the hell it is, it's heading straight for us.

- What's our speed? - 12 knots.

- Reduce speed to one-third. - One-third, aye.

300 meters and still closing.

Christ, look at it move.

- All stop. - All stop, aye.

100 meters.

- What the hell is that? - Look at that mother.

I think we're in big trouble, boss.

- Blow ballast. Positive. 100 meters. - Forward tanks, blow wide.

Kill the light.

Positive 80... 90.

100 meters.

- It's gone. - Oh, man!

I wonder what it was.

Who knows.

Okay, we're on the turnpike. Bullpen at 500 meters and closing.

- 500 meters. - Seatrak, this is DSRV-2.

- Do you read? - Jesus... what a mess.

- Seatrak, acknowledge. - What do you think?

I don't know.

- Can we get a clean dock? - The angle's wrong.

She's listing pretty bad... One bump she's gone.

Well, don't bump her then.

Come on, baby.

Collar's in place. Umbilicals.

CO2 is way up. Electrical fire.

She's leaking badly from the port side.

Doesn't look good.

Have we still got a clean dock?

Clean and tight. Pressure's holding.

My father told me, "Stay at home and help me out with the farm, son."

Uh-uh, not me... I had to join the Navy and see the fucking world.

- You ready? - Yeah, go.

Ah, shit.

Did you hear that?

There it goes again.

They're coming. I told you they'd rescue us.

Oh, God, thank you.

The hatch is jammed... I'm not getting a green light.

- Looks like the hatch motor shorted out. - Wanna crank it?

Nah, let me see if I can rewire it.

We need some power for the lights and instruments.

Do you think you should be screwing around with that thing standing in the water?

- Do I tell you how to drive subs? - As a matter of fact, you do.

- Maybe we should use the crank instead. - Good idea.

All right.

- You ready? - All right... go.

Go.

- Thank God. - You all right?

Burciaga's legs are crushed. He can't move.

I'll go get the rope out of the rescue kit.

Good idea.

- Rope, rope, rope! - All right, throw it down here.

Okay.

Come on, wake up.

No.

Come on.

Come on... oh.

- Ready, Mac? - Yeah.

Easy now.

Okay, come on, let's get out of here. Come on, buddy.

He's gone.

Let's move it, guys! She won't hold forever!

Let go.

No, no... you gotta leave him. Come on.

Let's go.

Come on, come on. Give me your hand... Give me your hand now.

Come on, Mac.

Ahh!

- I'm getting the box! - Forget it!

- My back is broken. - It's stripped.

Get out of here! Save yourselves!

Damn, the circuit's fried.

Get out of here! Save yourselves! That's an order!

Get out and save yourselves!

No way, man.

Oh, wait.

No!

You cold? Here.

Put this on.

Put this on your legs.

Fuck.

- It's good to see you guys. - Thanks.

- Let's get her warm. - Put this around her.

- How are you doing? - All right, just a little damp.

Get some dry clothes and we'll meet you in the medical bay.

Come on, let's get you checked out.

There's nothing wrong with me.

- You be all right? - Yeah.

I'm sorry... I guess that was a pretty stupid question.

No, thanks for asking.

I know you and the Captain were pretty close.

I mean, a lot closer than everybody else, and...

I liked him a lot.

I guess I just came down here to say that.

- I'm going to miss him. - I know.

Oh, hey, I thought you may want to have this.

I found that in some of his stuff.

Thanks.

- Okay. - Thanks a lot.

I'll see you up top.

Hodges and Osborne lost the remote

in the cave and before I could stop them they went in to get it.

That's when they saw something.

- You mean the remote? - Yeah, they saw the remote,

but I mean, they saw something else.

- What do you mean something else? - I don't know, something that scared them.

And then they were screaming, then they were gone.

- Did you see it? - No, but the sonar picked up something.

Right before the Seatrak was attacked.

Something very big and very fast.

Okay, you can take those off now.

Were there lights on the remote?

Yeah, sure.

And were the work lights on on the Seatrak?

- Yeah, why? - Stay put.

- You ever heard of photomigration? - No.

It's a theory of aggressive animal behavior associated with light.

Topside approved your request for extraction.

We can decompress as soon as you give the order.

Scarpelli, get Snyder to start securing the station.

Richardson, prep the DSRV-2 for departure.

- We're going home. - Amen.

What was that?

That was our baby's heartbeat.

Well, I'm gonna go check on Snyder and Richardson.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think it was anyone's concern but mine.

I didn't want it to be a problem.

I can't believe you weren't going to tell me about this.

You're the one that always says that you're such a drifter,

and that you don't want to settle down.

What do you say if it's a boy we name it after the Captain?

Philip Laidlaw McBride.

I like that.

- Well. - What is it, Snyder?

Sorry to piss on your picnic, guys, but Norris wants you on deck.

Now.

DSRV-2 is prepped and ready to go.

Great punch pack your gear and tell the others to stand by for decompression.

Yes, ma'am.

I wanna know what you plan to do about the missile sled?

I don't plan to do anything.

I just received the extraction order, and

the Navy can send down a recovery team later.

We're leaving.

All I'm asking you is to secure the missile sled

- before we leave. - Snyder, what's the procedure

- for securing the missile sled? - That's a command direct

that only Captain Laidlaw can issue orders concerning the missiles.

Well, Captain isn't here.

Well, I thought we were supposed to begin decompression?

Decompression is postponed until we secure Van Gelder's missiles.

Look, I don't understand why it's such a big deal,

It's not like people can just swim down and steal them.

Snyder, please, just do it.

Fine.

Are you familiar with the procedure or do you want me to assist you?

I think I can handle it.

Yeah?

Yeah, listen this thing that attacked you,

would you say it was a natural force or more like an aggression type of thing?

- I don't know what you mean. - We have to be specific,

the computer wants to know.

It was aggressive action by a force or forces unknown.

Snyder, just... just find the procedure and get on with it.

I'm just checking, okay?

Pardon my ass all the way to hell.

Okay, aggression.

- What will you do when you get topside? - I'm heading right for Big Lew's.

- Big Lew's? - Big Lew's Burger Barn.

Without a doubt the greasiest hamburger joint in the universe.

Gonna walk right in there order a double fistful of meat.

- With cheese. - With cheese, good call, with cheese.

Bucket of fries, and a very large, thick chocolate shake.

I spent six months trying to keep you on a healthy diet

- and you're gonna blow it all on one meal? - You hear that?

That's the sound of my arteries hardening right now.

- Where's Van Gelder? - He's up gathering up his homework

like you told him.

Search release.

Damn command directive.

It's not gonna be my ass for this, I'll tell you that right now.

Seven, eight.

Okay, boys and girls, don't try this at home.

Yes!

What the hell's that?

What the fuck?

Shit!

Come on, let's go.

You idiot, what have you done?

Secured the missile sled, what' s the problem?

- You detonated the missile sled! - Yeah, according to procedure.

- Do you know what you've done? - I secured the missile sled, asshole!

- You may have signed our death warrants. - I just did what you told me!

You know how much water is displaced by detonating a 20 megaton warhead.

- Yeah, a shit load. - What are those?

Concussion waves, oh, Jesus, they're registering force 20.

- Here it comes. - Hold on.

- Oh my God! - Snyder, damage control!

Get me the diagnostic.

Stand by!

Switch to VSL overlap.

- Check. - Binary status?

- Overlap. - Okay, FLP fraction.

- We've got 17. - Revert to load unit.

- Where? - System Cl!

- Check. - Okay, I'm on stand-by power.

I'm good for two minutes only.

Oh, God!

- I'm losing the sensors. - Try the venting bypass.

I got a fire over here!

There's four warning lights.

I got a structural deficiency.

- Docking bay, aft section! - All right, I'm on it!

McBride, let's go, we got a leak, the main strut may go!

Coming!

Jesus!

Bring it up, move it!

- All right, all right, that's good. - Get the extender, move it in quick.

All right, put it up there.

All right, crank it up.

That's good!

Okay, I'm switching to auxiliary, on my count.

Three, two, one!

Crank it up, crank it up!

Pull it, pull it here!

You've got to weld this to the base plate!

- All right, turn! - All right, I got the flap, I got it!

We're doing it, crank it, pull, that's good!

Okay, slow down, we're getting close!

Pull!

Norris!

Shut off the main water bank!

One more, one more, about two inches!

- One more, a little higher. - Okay, that's good!

All right, it's done.

All right.

Run a diagnostic.

Diagnostic up.

All right, the crew's quarters are flooded and sealed.

- There's a power shortage in section... - Hold it, hold it.

The oxygen filtration system's wrecked.

So the air supply is gone, shit!

There's more, the main lines to the decompression bay are ruptured.

- So we ain't going anywhere. - How much air do we have let?

We've got whatever ambient air is left in the station.

Seven, eight hours maybe.

Air isn't our main problem.

The cooling primary to the reactor was destroyed.

It'll go super critical in a few hours.

So what will happen when it goes super critical?

- It'll explode. - Welcome to ground zero.

Snyder, what about the radio, can you fix it?

Sure, I can fix it if I had the right parts, a

little bit of luck and about a week to do it.

Fuck it, why don't we just get in the escape pod and go?

Because the main lines are ruptured, we can't decompress.

We can't decompress, we can't leave the station.

Well, at least Snyder will get his name in the Guinness Book of Records.

I mean, causing two nuclear explosions in

one afternoon has to be some kind of record!

Hey, fuck you, pal, I followed procedure!

- I'll fuck you up! - You fucked up!

Wait a minute, look at this.

Isn't there a way we can repair the main lines to the decompression bay?

No, the lines are too badly damaged.

No, we might be able to run a bypass.

You mean seal the rupture here?

Run a line from the medical lab, patch it into the airlock pressure system

uh, bring up the APS blueprints.

BZN 17 through RTX 56.

Yes, yes, it might work.

All right, so we've patched that in from JVB-124, right?

Right, that connects the decompression chamber through to the lab.

Were you able to fit that converter coupler?

No, but I just reversed the old coupler,

I used some of that gasket goop, it ought to work fine.

- That's clever, Snyder. - Yeah.

When you've got it connected, give us a hand downstairs.

Okay.

Okay, that ought to do it.

- Collins, be careful, Jim. - Oh, it's a walk in the park.

McBride, have you got that fitting in yet?

Working on it.

Well, leave it off until Richardson repairs the outside line.

Ready for a video check.

Let's check the video.

- Video checks out. - Good.

I need a hard copy of LH 34.

LH 34 coming up.

All right, kids, let's make it happen.

Clear, fly him.

Richardson has to seal the leak right here.

Now when he does that, you patch in the bypass to the decompression chamber.

Okay.

All set to get wet.

And go.

I'm ready, let her rip.

She's ripping.

Okay, I'm clear of the airlock.

All right, I see the rupture.

Okay, where do I patch in?

Find ENZ 6538.

Hook up at ENZ 6538.

ENZ 6538.

All right, I got it.

- Is he patched in yet? - Richardson, you patched in yet?

I'm almost there.

All right, I think that's got it.

Hold it.

What's the problem, Richardson?

Jeez, I thought I saw something.

Say again, please.

- What sort of feed is this? - I have no idea.

His transmission's broke up stand by.

Ah!

Tell him to get back to the airlock right away.

Richardson, get back to the airlock immediately.

- Do you copy? - Shut off the outside lights.

What about the lights on the dive suit, can we shut those off too?

- No, not from up here. - God!

Okay, okay, up!

Relax, pal, we'll have you up in two seconds.

Get him out, get him out, get him out now!

Help me, he's down here, pull me out!

Wait a minute, there's something in the airlock.

God dammit, there's something in the fucking airlock!

Jim, no!

Oh, shit!

Snyder, hit the inside hatch!

- Snyder, the inside hatch! - I gotit.

- It's blown!

Scarpelli!

Hit the override.

Oh my God!

I got to plug it.

McBride, come on!

Come on!

Jesus.

Oh, God!

Scarpelli!

Stop, no McBride, she's gone!

Go, come on, go move!

Let us in!

What the hell are you doing?

It got Scarpelli.

Oh, my God.

You son of a bitch!

We ought to kick you out there and feed you to that thing!

McBride!

It's coming up!

- Is the hatch gonna hold? - I think so.

Snyder, pull up reactor status.

Four hours, eleven minutes and 45 seconds and the fucking place is gonna blow up!

We gotta surface from the escape pod is the only chance we've got.

Don't be an idiot, we cant' decompress.

We'll burst like a bunch of ripe melons.

Don't you call me an idiot!

If you would've patched in the hose like you

were suppose to, we'd be decompressing right now!

Snyder, knock it off!

Listen.

It stopped.

We're gonna have to go back down there.

And finish patching the hose to the decompression bay.

With that thing down there, we're not gonna

get anywhere near the bypass and you know it.

See what weapons you can find.

I gotta go stitch up Van Gelder.

Let's go, Snyder.

Let's go.

I think there's a couple of M12's around here somewhere.

M12's ain't gonna Kill it, that thing was big,

I mean, that thing was really fucking big.

We're not trying to Kill it, we're just trying to hold it back

long enough for me to patch in that bypass.

Hey, that thing killed half our crew, I want it dead.

-Fucking A. Fucking A nothing, hot shot!

You ran like a rabbit when that thing came after Richardson.

You got straight to hell, McBride, you saw that thing!

What the fuck was I supposed to do, stand there get eaten?

We needed your help.

McBride, look, I was scared shit less, okay?

You ever been scared, I wasn't thinking.

Snyder, we're all scared.

Come on.

Here, hold this.

John, I've got to get those people out of here, back to the surface.

I can't do it alone, I need your help.

- What can I do? - Can you tell me what that thing is?

Some form of arthropod.

But big, very big.

I've never encountered anything like it in my life.

It might be one of Scarpelli's cave dwellers.

Can we kill it?

I don't know.

Here you go.

- You know how to handle one of those? - Of course I do.

- Yeah. - Thanks.

- How you feeling? - Fine.

Thank you for asking.

You got the guns, good.

Yeah and I got the shark darts from the escape pod.

I'm not familiar with how these work.

It's loaded with a CO2 cartridge, look.

You just stick the point in.

Thing blows up like a balloon, boom.

W... wait a minute, hold it.

These cartridges expired six months ago.

The fucking thing's out of date.

- Snyder, it works. - How do you know?

I'm not going down there with that defective piece of shit!

Okay, it works.

Oh, man, the whole place is filled.

That thing could be anywhere.

The Navy.

It's not just a job, it's an adventure.

What the fuck are you doing, McBride?

Strobes.

Scarpelli said something about light.

Photo something.

Photomigration.

Something about marine animals being attracted to light as a food source.

So this thing has a hard-on for light.

So what?

Don't you get it, Snyder?

Light means lunch.

It was nothing.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go patch in the bypass.

Almost got it.

I got it patched in.

Let's get the hell out of here.

McBride!

Oh!

Ah!

- Oh! - Ugh!

Close the door!

Did you see what happened to Van Gelder?

- Yeah. - Goodness!

What the fuck are you looking at?

Are you all right?

No, I'm not all right.

What happened to Van Gelder was not my fault.

I know that.

- You stay the fuck away from me! - All right.

I did everything by the book, I followed my orders!

- Get my kit. - Okay.

- We don't have time for this. - I know, I know.

I didn't kill Van Gelder, he backed into the fucking shark dart.

- No one's blaming you. - Yes, you are, yes you are!

You blame me for blowing up the missiles, that was procedure.

- Here you go. - You blame me for killing Richardson.

You blame me for killing Scarpelli.

Now you're gonna blame me for killing Van Gelder, well, you can forget about it.

- What are you doing? - We're going home.

- What are you doing? - It's just to calm you down.

No shot, no fucking way!

- You can trust me. - That's bullshit!

- We have to calm you down. - Diane, what are you doing to me!

No!

Take it easy, I'm gonna let you go now, take it easy.

- I didn't kill him. - Oh, I know.

- I didn't kill him. - I know.

It's gonna be all right, come on.

He's really lost it.

With everything we've been through I'm not surprised.

The whole world's coming apart.

Is he going to be all right?

I hope so.

I really do.

Yeah, we gotta get going.

I know.

All right, we'll get the emergency equipment, we'll patch the escape pod

and the decompression chamber.

- You got some supplies? - Yeah, go on.

- Let's go. - Okay, we'll meet you in the escape pod.

Uh, I have to go get some food packed for the trip, okay?

You sit right here.

You'll be fine.

Snyder.

Snyder!

You bastard!

You wouldn't even die!

Ah, bastard!

Ugh!

Snyder, what are you doing?

Snyder, stop, stop it!

Snyder!

Snyder, you have to decompress first!

Synder, don't be a fool!

Snyder, you'll kill us all!

- Snyder! - Look out!

Snyder!

Oh, fuck it.

Come on, get up!

The other way, come on!

I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch, Snyder.

He's already dead.

The Command Center's gone, it's completely flooded.

Shit, electrical system's shorting out.

Can you pull up the reactor status?

In a minute.

Three hours and 43 minutes.

Barely enough to decompress.

I can't catch my breath.

I know, the air's almost gone.

Will you marry me?

I'd marry anyone who'd get me out of this mess.

Done.

The decompression chamber's working, right?

Yes, but without the mini-sub, we're trapped here.

All right.

I'll swim across the command center

bring the DSRV-I around to the decompression chamber.

Come on, there must be another way.

That thing is still out there.

I've always asked for the strength to do your will, God.

And I need your help now.

I don't understand.

I'm so scared.

Please let McBride make it.

Please, God, let my baby live.

Damn it, McBride, hurry up.

He'll get the sub, I know he will.

And we're gonna decompress and we're going to get topside.

Right.

Will you come visit me on my farm in New Hampshire?

We can sit on the porch with the dogs

listen to the trees.

Smell the mountain air.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh God, it's McBride.

Maybe he's stuck.

Collins, get in the decompression chamber!

It won't open.

It takes 30 seconds to pressurize.

Quiet, shh.

It's in here, I know it is.

McBride!

We gotta go stop it, we've got to help her!

Take that!, you big ugly sack of fish shit!

No!

God!

There's nothing we could have done.

McBride, wake up.

Come on, it's time.

Hatch secured.

Okay, ready to detach.

Three, two, one.

- We better hurry. - No kidding.

Hold on.

Shock waves.

Impact in three, two, one.

- Set stabilizers on full. - Stabilizers on full.

Hard climb.

We're losing starboard drive.

She's not holding.

We're leveling off, we're taking on too much water.

Let me see what I can do.

Damn, the ballast control circuit's dead.

I can't pump it out.

All right, I'm gonna open the vents, I'm gonna drop both tanks.

We won't be able to stay afloat.

It won't matter if we don't make it to the surface.

It's working, we're rising.

It's okay.

I think we're going to make it.

I know we're gonna make it.

Hey.

We're here.

- Abandon ship. - My pleasure.

Oh, jeez!

No, no, don't do it!

No!

No, McBride!

No!

Hey!

McBride!

Ugh, thank you.
