- I don't like anything about it.
- Neither do I.

The president's right,
they need to be told.

We go public on this
thing, we're dead.

- Nobody is talking about going public.
- It's secret or it's not secret.

- You can trust these people.
- I don't trust anybody.

This Russian thing hits the papers,
the whole project can blow sky high.

Let's worry about that
when it happens.

Jesus, I can't believe it Jim.

Let me get this straight.

You're saying there's an American on the
island of Svardlov, and you can't locate it.

And where the
hell is Svardlov?

It's a small island
near the Arctic circle.

Every country that's done an exploration
there claims it for its own.

The Russians even put troops there,
From time to time

And now you're telling us,
you've lost this man on

Svardlov and you may've
lost him to some Russians.

I'm telling you we have a deviation
with the plan.

Our man is four days overdue
at the pickup point.

Why didn't you let us handle it.
We do that kind of stuff all the time.

Man had to be a mining engineer.
- So why're you telling us now?

Because If there is an incident
we'll need all the help we can get.

Gentlemen, if you'll follow me.

How the hell did we get
ourselves into a crap like this?

I engineered this thing
and I'll take the blame.

- What is this project, Jim?
- The Sicilian Project.

We believe it could be
The ultimate defense system.

I know you're all familiar with laser
technology, that's what we're involved with.

Each one of those lights
could be a power station.

Each station,
when it's activated ...

will project a beam
from ground to infinity.

These beams fan out and connect - make
an invisible screen, like a wall.

No missile can penetrate it.

Is this theory you're talking
about, or does it work?

Yes It works.
There's only one catch.

In order to install the
system to make it function

we need a self contain power
source, a large one.

The success of our
project is dependent upon

our locating a specific
mineral, byzanium.

Byzanium?
I've never even heard of it.

I'm not surprised,
very few people have.

And you think there may be
some one Svardlov is that it?

- That's what we think.
- So we sent a man in.

Well, let's hope you get him
out, because if

you don't,
if the Russians pick him up . . .

we're going to be kissing ass in the
Kremlin for the next five years.

Washington Central, this is Unit 23 requesting
toll service at Jefferson Memorial.

The Sicilian Project?
- Yes, captain that's what KGB calls it.

Would you read me that report again?
please.

Americans interested in rare minerals,
may be related to military operations.

- Code name, The Sicilian Project.
- What could be so precious...

that Americans risk this kind of adventure?

Are you a chess player?

I played a little when I was a student. Why?

Do you know the name Isaac Boleslavsky?

- Of course I know him.
- He was a great chess master.

Maybe the greatest of them all.

Many of the significant variations in the
game were conceived by Boleslavsky ...

and one of them
was called the Sicilian Defense.

All right , Marganin, let's leave
it for now. We talk again tomorrow .

You know,
if it wasn't for Dirk Pitt we would

be back at square one
and that mining engineer

would be stretched out
dead on a Russian island.

Who is Dirk Pitt?

All of a sudden he's involved in The Sicilian
Project and I've never heard of him.

Used to be a Navy man.

Put his time in and retired
early and since then

he and I have tackled quite
a few things together.

He works for you?

Well Sometimes he does,
sometimes he doesn't.

Depends on the job.

Looks like something that can't be done,
chances are he'll take a crack at it .

Otherwise dump down.

You mean he only works
when he feels like it.

Yeah, that's right.

Pardon my expression, Admiral,
but he sounds like a pain in the ass.

Welcome home.

- Glad to see you Dirk.
- Good to see you, Jim.

Hey, bring a gurney over.
Where you going?

- See the man you brought in.
- Later.

- How is he?
- Lousy. He's got a hole in him that big.

We patched him up before
we left Norway, but he's

lost a lot of blood and
he's doped to the gills.

He can still talk can't he?
I have to ask him some questions.

May be you didn't understood me.

We have to get this guy to the
hospital as fast as we can.

Come on, Gene. Come on.

The mine had been stripped he said, but he
was sure there was byzanium there once.

They took out five hundred pounds,
maybe half a ton of the stuff.

That means the Russians got it.

No, he said the mine
was worked by Americans.

He found tools and equipment that
had been shipped from Colorado ...

and a copy of the Rocky Mountain News
dated sometime in 1911.

- 1911?
- And he found a corpse, frozen stiff.

Someone had burned his name into a board
and left it with the body.

Here lies Sergeant Jake Hobart,
United States Army ...

frozen in a storm,
February 10, 1912.

Are you telling me the
Army sent a guy up there

seventy years ago to get
a half a ton of byzanium?

I am not telling you anything,
I'm just repeating what Koplin told me.

What happened to you?
I gave up on you three hours ago.

Oh, I got hung up. Sorry.

I don't like the look I see on your face.
You look like somebody stole your popsicle.

I wish I could tell you.

Give me the headlines,
Leave out the names and places.

Can't even do that.

I thought you were a nice, solid guy,

a scholar and a scientist ...

home at six, pipe and slippers.

Now, all of a sudden you've
turned into Charlie Chan.

This is not funny.

Who said it was funny?
Did I say it was funny?

I think I just saw five years of work
go down the drain.

Have you ever heard
Of a guy named Dirk Pitt?

- Who?
- Dirk Pitt.

Ring a bell?

No I don't think so.
Why do you ask?

Oh, I just met him.
It's not important.

Well hallelujah, there's a little life
in the old guy after all.

You got to put the worm on the hook.

- You know I can't do that part.
- What kind of a fisher person are you?

I'm a dynamite fisher person.
I just can't put the wormy on the hooky.

Very Funny.

I've got a bad conscience.

- I told a fib.
- What about?

About Dirk Pitt.
I do know him.

I met him when I first came to Washington.
He was with the Naval Intelligence then.

- Why'd you tell me you didn't know?
- I don't know.

I guess you took me by surprise.
I haven't heard his name in a long time.

- Did you use to date him?
- No, no, nothing like that.

No, he was too high-powered for me.

What does that mean?

Just that.
He takes up all the air in the room.

Dirk Pitt. What kind of a name is that?

Sounds like a pirate.

Dr. Seagram?
Are you Dr. Seagram?

I'm supposed to bring you back to
Washington, Admiral Sandecker's orders.

I don't believe it.
You got to be kidding.

- How did he know we were here?
- I told him.

Brilliant.
We'll bring him with us next time.

The Hobart file mentioned the
name Brewster, Arthur Brewster ...

A con man and a mining expert.

In 1910 he discovered
byzanium on the island of

Svardlov and he took at
right to the U.S. Army.

Even then they saw it might have
military possibilities.

So they gave him some money and
some Army engineers to help...

and he hires a Norwegian whaler.

The ship delivers Brewster,
Jake Hobart and the

rest of the Colorado
miners to the island.

Makes a date to pick him up after
they've mined the byzanium.

- What happened?
- The ship picked them up on schedule.

The only problem was
two days out of Svardlov

they spot a Russian
cruiser tailing them.

But Brewster sticks to his plan
and the whaler drops him off ...

on the coast of Scotland, north of Aberdeen
and they start overland.

Plan was to get the ore to Southampton
and send it home by commercial ship.

Did they make it?

They gave it a pretty good shot. They
had Russian agents coming out their ears.

They fought a running gun battle all
the way from Aberdeen to Southampton.

Somehow, Brewster made it
and he had the ore with him .

- What happened to the other men?
- All dead, except one ...

a man named Southby.

Matter of fact,
the final report Brewster sent

home to the U.S. Army,
all he wrote was ...

- thank God for Southby.
- Then what?

He put the ore in a vault and saw
it lowered into the hold of a ship.

And on April 10th, 1912 the ship sailed.

- Southampton to New York?
- Right.

Brewster started home on the Titanic.

So that's where we are.

Spent five years on research
and development ...

We're a kiss away from the end.

We need 200 ounces of a measly mineral
we can't find ...

and when we do find it
where is it?

It's at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

But at least we know where it is
now, it's not just some

place, it's in one spot,
waiting for us to come and get.

You're talking about 12,500 feet
under water, more than two miles down.

We can't get divers down that deep.

That's right sir, we can't get divers
down to the Titanic.

- Which leaves us with only one choice.
- And what's that?

We don't go to the mountain,
the mountain comes to us.

Are you talking about raising the Titanic.?

Yeah.

Can it be done?
A ship that big, down that deep?

It's never been done before,
no question about that.

But we did raise that nuclear sub
a couple of year ago.

Nowhere near the same size
and only a third as far down.

Admiral, I am not saying
it's gonna be easy.

The odds are terrible; it'll cost a ton
of money. But it's not impossible, sir.

If we get full cooperation from the Navy.

What if you did have Navy cooperation
and you could get the funding?

We'd have a chance.
Lots of problems and lots of risks.

We have submersibles that can go down
that deep but we don't know for how long.

We have others in development
that can go even deeper,

but they haven't been tested
so every trip would be a gamble.

But, if we're lucky ...

we could make nuclear warfare obsolete.

- What about it, Jim?
- It's a ball breaker.

The biggest marine salvage operation
anybody's heard of.

Dirk says he can handle it …

I'm willing to go to the president
and do my best to push it through.

Seems we are back to you, Captain Pitt.

Well, like Jim said ...

it's the biggest job with the highest
stakes anybody ever dreamt of.

How can you turn it down?

Have any time for an old friend?

I don't believe it.

- My God. Where did you come from?
- I don't know.

Well, as you can see,
nothing surprises me. I'm ...

perfectly calm and under control.

- Come on, let's go have a cup of coffee.
- I can't, I'm late ...

I was just dropping somebody off.

Gene Seagram.

Yes, yes.

He is not good enough for you.

You never thought anybody was good
enough for me, including yourself.

I was right.

- You look terrific.
- Thank you.

So do you. I thought you left Washington.
So what are you doing?

Fooling around.

Don't give me that.
You were gonna fix the world.

Yeah, that was five years ago.
I discovered that they had me out numbered.

- Not you. I don't believe that.
- You can believe it.

Well I got to go.
It's good to see you.

- Goodbye.
- Take care.

Funny, you don't look like a scientist.

How's a scientist supposed to look like?

I don't know, but if I saw you walking
down the street, I might take you for a ...

a country club tennis pro.

I'd never take you for a scientist.

Well, that makes us even.
I wouldn't take you for a pirate.

Here he comes.
That didn't take long.

It never takes long to say no.

No, and it doesn't take
long to say yes either.

Yeah. We'll see.

Good afternoon, Admiral.

We're in business.

- Good to see you again. How you doin'?
- Fine.

Don't try to hide behind that fuzz ...

- I'd know you any place
- I'm just keeping warm.

Well, they warned me you're
the boss of this operation ...

has he told you what
we're after this time?

Uh, not yet.
Silent Sam.

That's all right, I like that,
I'll get us there.

I'll keep the coffee hot
and you two can handle the tricky stuff.

What makes you think there's
gonna be some tricky stuff?

Well, there has to be.

Nobody hires you for your good looks.

Sorry. This is Dr. Seagram.
Captain Joe Burke and Master Chief Walker.

Good to meet you.

- Quite an operation here.
- Yeah, we got some nice toys.

I was thinking,
I may be able to speed things up by

feeding all Navy's navigational
and meteorological data ...

- into my computer banks.
- Well now, that sounds very interesting.

Good. You can reach me through
Admiral Sandecker's office.

Fine, fine. Now If you'll excuse me, I've
got three days work to do before lunch.

- See you later, Dirk.
- So long. Take it easy.

Alright, let's get a couple
of things straight then.

This is Captain Burke's operation ...

and he's an extremely competent Navy officer.
I don't think he needs your help.

As for me, I took this job
on two conditions.

One, that I handle a salvage end of it my
way, and two, that you stay out of my hair.

Will you remember that?

If you're trying to make me
sore, Pitt, it won't work.

- This project is too important.
- Good, let's keep that in mind.

The Royal Mail Ship Titanic.

Where is she now and how do we
get her up? That's our problem.

This was her course, this orange line.

A southwesterly track from Southampton
to her final radio position.

Latitude 41 degrees 46 minutes
north, longitude

50 degrees 15 minutes west.
That's where she sank.

Didn't the two rescue ships
report conflicting positions?

That's right.

You can see more clearly,
here in this enlargement.

The Titanic thought she was here, Carpathia
had her here and Mount Temple here.

So this will be our starting point,
right in the middle of this triangle.

So, one way or another,
we're in the ball park.

The trouble is sir, could wind
up being a damn big ball park .

We're talking about two miles under water,
maybe more.

Everything at that depth, is a mystery.

That hull could a wound up a couple
of miles from where she disappeared.

- Or ten.
- Let's hope not.

Dr. Silverstein's group will be
handling the location problems.

Our submersibles will work in concentric
circles around that point, as targeted.

Let me emphasize again the importance
of security.

Only those who need to know
have been briefed on this operation.

You will be operating
under the direct control

of the CNO here,
through CINCLANT Fleet.

Any further questions? Admiral?

All right, thank you very much,
gentlemen, that's all.

We got all the stuff from the
White Star Line, engineering

drawings and a complete
structural design for the Titanic.

Good. How about a crew list?

Yeah, we got that too - and
I think maybe we lucked out.

One of the survivors
is a man named Bigalow.

He was junior third officer
in charge of cargo and

he's living in England,
some place in Cornwall.

It's an odd thing you know.
I had a few ships

shot out from under
me, more than my share.

Three in the 1914-18 fraca
and two in 39-45 ...

but all anybody ever asked
me about is the Titanic.

And now I am doing
the same thing.

And you're lucky you
came to the right man.

As I said, it was cargo hold number nine.

D-deck on port side.

- You sure of that location?
- No question about it.

We all saw that vault
when it was loaded aboard.

And we saw the passenger who owned it,
not likely to forget him...

a bushy beard and eyes like a fox.

Even if he hadn't put a gun at me the
way he did, I'd remember him alright.

The gun business. You say that happened
when the Titanic was already goin' down?

Lifeboats in the water,
only half filled ...

people scrambling all over.
It was pathetic.

I was on my way up to the boat deck
to give a hand ...

When this crazy little fellow
shoves a gun in my face.

Wanted to go to cargo hold number nine ...

and if I wouldn't take him,
he'd shoot me in my tracks.

That's what he said.

Well I was a young fellow then...

wanted to live as long as I could,
so I took him.

As it turned out, number nine was
the only hold not already flooded.

Once he got in there, spotted what
he was looking for, he was happy.

When I have nightmares
about that lovely ship going

down I always see that
crazy old man with the gun.

That was the last time you saw him,
down there in the hold?

That's right. He wouldn't leave.

He went up to that vault of
his, oh, a huge thing ...

eight foot square, and patted it as if
it was a dog, muttering to himself.

- And you remember what it was he said?
- The same thing over and over.

Thanks to God for ...

Southby. Thank God for Southby.

This must be a pretty quiet
life for a man like you

God help a man who can't live by himself.

We all end up in a single way,
sooner or later.

Ay, here he is then,
the proprietor himself.

I had almost given ye up.

What do you have,
a whiskey or a nice pint of bitter?

Just a moment, Sarah.

This is Sarah Martindale , a woman of
substance, a beauty and a warm heart.

And this is Captain Pitt,
of the United States Navy.

Retired, like myself.

Retired mighty early, if I may say so.

Keep your hands off him Sarah
and give us two large pink gins.

Full measure and don't skimp the Angostura.

Sarah talk's big ... but the

fact is she is frightened silly of men.

Those of us who know her best,
suspect she's still a maiden.

Oh my God, the man's gone off.

Come under the quarterdeck.

This is my Titanic collection.

All that's left of her,
except for memories.

What a lovely thing she was . . .

standing as high in the water as
one of your skyscrapers.

Longer than two rugby fields ...

and furnishing to match the finest mansions
in England.

She was one of a kind,
no question about it ...

and God himself, they said,
couldn't sink her.

Then in two hours she was gone...

and fifteen hundred souls with her.

I took the pennant off
her before she went down.

If you manage to bring her up again ...

maybe you'd put it back,
where it belongs.

Control, this is Deep Quest at 8,000 feet,
searching section 22.

Visibility fair, negative contacts. Out.

This is Turtle, depth 9,200 feet.
No contacts. Out.

This is Starfish at 10,000 feet, conducting
sonar search section 24. No contacts.

- Depth?
- 11,420.

6000 pound per square inch.

One of these days the water gonna squash us
like bug.

- What are you bitchin' about, Merker?
- I got plenty of reasons to bitch.

Cruisin' around down here in this
tin can ... looking for what?

We're looking for whatever's down here

Hey guys, hate to spoil your fun,
we're going up. Pitt's coming in.

Well good, maybe we can find
out what we're looking for.

Marine Air Base One to Three.

Three Marine.

Wind is coming from 220
degrees at 18 knots.

Roger. 220 at 18 knots.

Helo three you're cleared

- Anything happening down there?
- No, nothing yet.

Which brings up a point,
I think the sub crews

should be told what
they're looking for..

- It'd help morale.
- Yeah, sounds like a good idea to me.

Why don't we hold a
briefing this afternoon?

We have a visitor,
did you notice?

Yeah, I spotted the Russian
flag as we were coming in.

Looks like a marine
research vessel.

That means they only got maybe
half a dozen gun crews aboard.

Oh, they're just nosing around.

They don't know what we're looking for.

Not yet, anyway.

Deep Quest, this is Starfish. Have sonar
contact in section 26 at depth 12,700 feet.

Request permission to investigate.

This is Deep Quest. Negative.
Maintain present depth.

You are only certified to 12,000 feet.
We'll check it out.

This is Turtle, depth 11,400 feet. Searches
Section 36 complete without contact.

Starfish, this is Deep Quest.
Request you conduct sonar

search section 33 at
maximum depth of 12,000 feet.

This is Starfish. Roger. Out.

This is Starfish, approaching 12,000 feet.
Continuing sonar search. Over.

This is Control. Do not exceed
12,000 foot depth limit. Out.

Lieutenant.

Control, this is Starfish.

- Bridge, Control.
- Bridge, aye.

The Starfish reports she's flooding.
We're trying to get more information.

- Release the battery pods.
- Battery pods away.

Control, this is Starfish,
we're flooding, trying to surface.

Repeat, this is Starfish,
we're flooding, trying to surface. Over

Starfish ...

Control, this is Starfish ...

It's gone dead.

Starfish ...

Starfish, this is control.

It's dead. We lost contact.

Where's the Turtle?

In the water -- 11,000 feet, heading
for the Starfish's position.

This is Turtle.
We have Starfish in visual contact.

She's going down fast,
they've got to lose some weight.

- We have taken on too much water.
- Hit the panic switch, release the sphere.

- Release the damn sphere.
- I'm trying to.

Control, the Starfish just imploded.
Request permission to surface.

Yeah, Klink.

Come on up.

Doctor Silverstein and I have
completely reworked the data.

Oh bullshit.
I've heard that story a dozen times.

While you're busy here screwing
around with your computers

we been out there five weeks
-- we have found nothing.

Meanwhile, I just lost three men.

I think they found the answer now, Dirk.

Go on.

The new projections based
on a theory that all the

reported positions were
slightly off and most important

we failed to take into
account the smoke stack

that cracked off as the Titanic went down.

We built a scale model of the
Titanic, perfectly

weighted and balanced
in exact proportion.

In two hundred experiments
the trajectory of the descent

didn't vary by more than
one tenth of one degree ...

and it landed exactly
where your submersibles have been looking.

Then we did it without the smoke stack
and we hit a completely different position.

Four hundred times we
repeated this process ...

and every time it landed within inches
of the same spot.

Every single time.

Bingo ... as we read it the Titanic's
almost ten miles southeast of where ...

Ten miles!

That's right. We've got to move the entire
salvage operation to this new location.

That's not going to be easy Gene, you just
can't leapfrog over ten miles of ocean.

For all we know, the Titanic could be
dead center in the area we're bypassing.

If it is, we'll find it
as we work our way back.

- Find it as we work back ...
- We gotta take the gamble.

We can't do any worse than we're doing.

I know I'm right
about this new position. I'm sure of it.

I hope so.

Another couple of weeks
under water and those

submersible crews will come
after you with a harpoon.

Looks like we passed over something
metallic. The metal detector picked it up.

Ok, stay on it.
Give us a fix.

- There. But it's just below us.
- Roger, now we'll hover here.

Stay on the magnetometer.
Sing out if you see anything.

- Wait a minute.
- What, you saw something?

Yeah, I think so, but it's about three
o clock. See that funny shape there?

It's wedged between two rocks.

Okay, stand by the manipulator.

Here we come.

Got it.

What is it?

Looks like some kind of a horn.

May I, Doctor Vogel?
- Oh yes, certainly.

Please.

Presented to Graham Farley by the grateful
management of the White Star Line.

Now the White Star did
some checking through their

records and it turns out
that Graham Farley ...

was a musician for three years on a ship
called the Olympic. Then he was transferred.

Graham Farley was the cornet
player in the Titanic's orchestra.

Are you sure of that?

No question, no question,
it's all documented.

That means we're looking in the right
place, at least we're getting close.

It also means that the Titanic
must be in excellent condition.

Wait a minute, don't break
out the champagne yet.

This is a step in the right direction,
but we're not looking for cornets ...

we're looking for a ship 900
feet long -- we still can't find it.

Where the hell is she?
She disappear?

Very disturbing.

- Are these sources totally reliable?
- Absolutely.

Is such a defense system possible?

We put that question to our
military scientists in Moscow.

They say it is feasible, but it would
take a very strong power source.

And you say that power source
locked in a cargo hold of the Titanic?

All signs points to that.
I believe it.

- Bridge, Radio.
- Bridge, aye.

Yes sir, Captain. We're picking up
that interference again on the VHF.

- Roger. you taping it?
- Yes sir.

There's not much pattern to it, sounds like
static. It's only on one frequency.

Keep on it. Call me back when it stops.

Aye aye, sir.

What the hell is that all about?

We're picking up some kind of
strange interference at night.

Schenectady and Carpenter hear it too,
but not as loud as we do.

They're goin' crazy on the Seacliff.
They found something.

What?

I don't know but they're
getting a big bounce in sonar.

Seacliff, this is Pitt. What's up?

This is Seacliff.
I think we're smelling something.

Our metal detector
is going bananas.

Good, stay on it.
We're coming over.

Seacliff, this is Deep Quest.
We have you in sight at nine o'clock.

This is Seacliff. Roger. Do you have
sonar contact with target?

Roger. Coming in strong
and getting stronger.

There it is.
Something dead ahead.

Bohannon, can you make it out?

Well, whatever it is, it's got about
ten layers of sea critters on it.

- It's a smoke stack for Christ's sake.
- Could be.

Bulls eye.

Looks like Seagram was right for once.

Control, this is Deep Quest.

We just spotted a smoke stack.

Mark our position.

This is Control. Roger.
Position marked. Out.

- What do you think?
- I think maybe we're gonna get lucky.

- Seacliff, anything over there?
- Negative.

Keep your eyes open.

Let's stay on this course.

- Whata ya got now on the metal detector?
- Nothing ahead.

Wait a minute, what the hell is that?

It's a straight drop to nowhere.

Control, this is Deep Quest.

The ocean floor just disappeared.

We're going down till we can find it again.

Are you gentlemen thinking
what I'm thinking?

If she's down in this hole, no wonder
we couldn't find her.

We got something.

- Deep Quest, this is Seacliff.
- Look at that.

We're getting strong
signals on all our equipment.

Roger, so are we.

Ease over this way.

The metal detector's jumped of its track.

Deep Quest, this is the Seacliff.
I think we're on to something, dead ahead.

Roger. You sure are.
Hang in there.

I think we hit the jackpot.

Holly Christ ...

Are you absolutely certain?

No question. A direct report
to our ship standing by there.

All right, here is what we do.

See that the press gets the story,
only one paper ...

And make sure that Admiral Sandecker's name
is prominent in the list of facts.

Just the Titanic story?

No, the byzanium too.

Let's see what kind of explanation
they come up with, eh?

Yes sir.

This story from today's Washington Star.

The Titanic, which sank on her maiden
voyage April 14, 1912, has been found ...

over two miles down at the
bottom of the Atlantic.

No official announcements yet,
but one thing is certain ...

the imaginations of
millions of people will be stimulated.

In world history
there is only one Titanic ...

Rumors persist that the Navy
plans to raise her.

Why are they doing this ...
we don't know ...

but we understand there is a defense plan,
called The Sicilian Project ...

and a little known mineral,
more powerful than uranium ...

with the unusual name of byzanium.

This is Sandor Vanocur, in Washington.

Of course I wrote that story.
Why shouldn't I?

The information came in and I wrote it up.
That's my job.

What about my job?
It looks like I gave you the information.

- Everybody in here's gonna think that.
- Who cares what anybody thinks?

You know you didn't tell me anything
and so do I.

I didn't even connect it with you.
I still don't know what you're up to.

You trying to tell me that this story
just flew in through the window?

No, I am not telling you that.
I have lots of sources.

That's what I mean.
Who told you?

I can't tell, you that.
I won't tell you that and you know it.

Dana, you have to. It's critical.
If there's a leak, we have to stop.

What do you mean by a leak? I don't
even know what you're talking about.

The hell you don't. It was a secret. That's
what I'm telling you. Nobody knew about it.

Hardly anybody knew about it.

It has to be somebody on the inside
who told you. Busby? Huh? Nicholson?

How about your old friend, Pitt?

Did he tell ya?

So that's what this is all about.

That's what this is really about,
it's about Pitt.

- Oh for Christ sake ...
- It is and you know it.

You have been looking
for an excuse to unload

on me ever since you met him ...
ever since ...

I don't give a damn
about him.

The hell you don't, you can't get
him out of your head.

What?

So let's just get it
straight once and for all.

I lived with him for two years
and I was crazy about him.

That's terrific, that's just terrific.
If you were so

damn crazy about him,
why didn't you stay with him?

Because I was stupid.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

Sir, after all this time won't the
Titanic be rusted away to nothing?

We don't think so.
At a depth of more than two miles ...

there's less oxygen,
the water is much colder ...

and there are fewer destructive
marine organisms.

She may be surprisingly sound.

The Titanic ... she sank because the
ice ripped a huge hole in her hull.

Now how is she supposed to float
with the hole still there?

Well, she can't. So we're going to
patch it with special metal plates...

and to make her buoyant...

we're going to fill her lower compartments
with synthetic foam.

pumped in through hoses placed in
position by our submersible crews.

As the foam goes in, the water
in the hull is forced out ...

giving us 22 thousand tons of lift.

Will all this foam bring the Titanic
to the surface?

No, we're going need additional lift. Now
this will be supplied by these tanks ...

filled with hydrazine
gas under high pressure

and anchored
to the Titanic's hull.

Then explosives charges
will be placed on the sea

bottom around the hull and
when they are detonated

the hull will be jarred loose
from the bottom suction,

and the Titanic will come to the surface.

If and when you raise
it, then what?

Then we will hold
another press conference.

Thank you all very much.

Are you sure you can't tell us something
about this mineral, byzanium?

I mean how does it
fit into this whole operation?

I've given you all
the information I have on that.

Sir, they say it's more powerful
than plutonium. Is that true?

- I've no further comment on that.
- What about The Sicilian Project?

Is it really a code name
for a defense system ...

or a super bomb with
the biggest warhead yet?

No comment.

Is it true that byzanium
could fuel a bomb ...

a thousand times more powerful
than bomb of Hiroshima?

That's it, gentlemen.
I've given you everything I can for now.

- What do you think, Vinnie?
- Doesn't sound like any code I ever heard.

And you know the tapes we made
had a much higher intensity ...

than the ones they recorded on
Schenectady and Carpenter.

Yeah, makes you think
that the signal, whatever it is,

originates here on the Denver.

Damn sure does.

Any word from Naval Intelligence?

Sandecker says he'll have
a report by tomorrow.

- What's it say about him?
- Merker? He's all right.

He's got a good record.

He served as a civilian technician
in Vietnam, got captured.

Spent two years
in a prison camp ...

and another year in Japan to get over that.
Married to a Japanese girl.

Yeah, that's what it says,
only she wasn't Japanese.

She grew up in Nam Dinh.

Her family's still living in
Haiphong and her brother

in the North Vietnam Army Intelligence.

How the hell did we miss that one?

It's painted over.
We were supposed to miss it.

So they finally let you come
down with us.

- I thought you'd never make it.
- Neither did I.

There's no time like the first time.
How's it look to you?

Nothing like I expected.

We're going to have a
problem with that one.

Let's take a look.

It's hung up on the stack.
We're gonna need help.

Try Deep Quest.

Deep Quest, this is Turtle.
We need some help

with this hydrazine tank,
it's hung up on the stack.

This is Deep Quest, can do.
Be right there.

Alright, let's do it.
Get the manipulators ready.

- This is Deep Quest, we're hooked up.
- This is Turtle. You pull, we'll push.

It's moving.

It feels like it's stuck on something.

We gotta cushion the Deep Quest.

Stow the manipulator.

Son of a bitch, they got themselves
hooked into that skylight.

Come on, baby.

Come on, you pretty little thing.

Get your Daddy out of this.

Come on ...

Indicates electrical fire
on the left.

Battery acid. Put your mask on.

We're at too steep of an angle. Acid's
running out of the emergency batteries.

I've lost half the power
on the panel.

Can we break out these battle lanterns.

Right, knock off the power.

We're going up.

Bohannon, move on over here
and standby Deep Quest.

Roger. We're on our way.

- How's it look down there?
- No good.

Seagram picked a lousy day
to go to sightseeing.

He's a scientist. Who the hell authorized
him for submersible duty?

How bad is it?

Ah, they got themselves jammed into
that skylight like a cork in a bottle.

We're fighting time.
They lost almost all battery power ...

and they're gonna be running out of air.
They're lucky if they have six hours left.

- What're their choices?
- No choices.

If we can't cut loose that submersible ...

we gotta bring up the Titanic.

Six hours? How do we do that?

Target dates two weeks away.

Our target date just got changed.

Here's what we gotta do.

Eighty charges, each one containing
a hundred pounds of explosives ...

at these key points under the hull.
Why're you shaking your head?

I'm not shaking my head,
I'm shaking all over.

Those charges are
double what we planned.

If anything goes wrong
we lose four men.

But if we don't bring 'em
up, we lose 'em anyway.

They got two chances to die
and one to live.

All right, now we're going to detonate
the starboard charge first.

Eight seconds later,
first one on the port side ...

another eight seconds
we're back to starboard.

We alternate the explosions
all the way down the hull ...

so's we setup a rocking motion like you do
with a car when it's stuck in the mud.

Wait a minute, wouldn't it be better to put
an extra large charge right under the bow

- That way we could jolt it loose.
- Too dangerous.

This way we start the right movement
with less risk to the men.

Carbon dioxide's going up.

- Can we get some more air?
- No, we cannot.

I'm moving it down so we
can conserve on energy.

- The less we talk, the longer we've got.
- Exactly.

Everybody just sit down
and relax.

Okay, arm it.

Control, this is Seacliff.
Explosives secure.

- All clear.
- Roger.

Control, this is Turtle.
All charges secured.

Seacliff, Turtle, this is Control.
Get the hell out of there.

Moving out.

This is Turtle. ETA on surface, 13:05.
We're leaving the Titanic.

- Start the countdown.
- Start the countdown. Aye aye, sir?

All stations, T minus 50.

Activating hydrazine generators.

Twelve, eleven, ten, nine ...

eight, seven six, five ...

- four, three, two, one.
- Mark.

- Christ, what was that?
- They're trying to blast us loose.

Can they do it?

They're going to blow
the hell out of this sub.

It's just laying there.
Move, you bastard, move.

What the hell is going on?

Late hits,
the last two charges just went off.

Something's happening,
something's moving down there.

Isn't that a beautiful son of a bitch.

It's incredible.

There she is.

Yeah ...

but where the hell's the Deep Quest?

The explosives must have jarred her loose.

There she is.

We can't budge this surface,
hatch cover's just as jammed as the others.

Ah, you gonna need dynamite
to get out of that mess.

Yeah, just forget it.
Keep the pumps running.

We got to wait until we're towed to
New York for the right equipment.

What's happened?
Where's the Carpenter gone?

There's a distress call,
there's a freighter in trouble.

We're in trouble, for Christ's sake.
We need that ship.

- We can't ignore a distress call.
- You wanna talk about distress?

We got Navy weather
forecasting a force 12 storm

the Russians are looking
down our throats...

we're on a ship never learned how to
do anything but sink. That's distress.

From the Russian ship.
They're asking for permission

to send a man over
here, a Captain Prevlov.

What's that all about.

Well, they're offering give us a hand
in case the weather gets bad.

Permission granted, Captain Prevlov
can come aboard.

Admiral, you sure we want to do this?

Why not? We might as well
listen to what he's got to say.

Welcome to the Titanic, Captain.

Our time is precious,
so I'll come straight to the point.

We're offering you the safety of our ship.

My helicopter can carry ten men at a time.

Gee, that's very nice of you.
Uh, what happens

to the Titanic if we
accept your offer?

- An empty ship on an open sea.
- What's the Russian word for piracy?

No, it's not question of piracy. It is
a international law of marine salvage.

The hell it is.

We know about the byzanium.

Stolen from a mine on Russian territory.

You must trust me, gentlemen,
what I tell you that we're

determined to take back what
is morally and legally ours.

Mikhail Kurkov is a torpedo ship.

If her captain has no signal from me
eight minutes from now...

he will sink this ship,
that we are standing on.

What if you do get the
byzanium, then what?

- It's worthless if you don't have ...
- A Sicilian Defense system?

No, it's not worthless at all.

If this byzanium will
produce a superior weapon ...

then Russia must have it to
guarantee the security of her people.

We arm ourselves only ...

as a deterrent to war.

The clock keeps on ticking, gentlemen.

All right, Prevlov, I'll make it fast.

We knew you were coming aboard here today
we knew what your pitch would be exactly.

This is Pitt.
Bring on the surprise package.

Come on, I'll prove it to you.

Like I said,
you don't have much choice, Captain.

I see.

Gentlemen ...

That's got it.

- No water.
- Sealed tight.

Watch it.

And here lies Arthur Brewster,
sunk with the Titanic.

All right. Let's get those boxes
out of there and get 'em opened up.

Just like the others,
gravel.

- It doesn't make sense.
- A dead man and seven boxes of crap.

Arthur Brewster's papers.

Listen, we know that byzanium existed.

We know Brewster had it.
It's gotta be some place.

We worked and sweat and
come up with nothing.

Three men dead, the whole
Sicilian Project tossed on the junk pile.

How the hell that we blow this thing?

There must be some kind of an answer,
but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

I'm just as disappointed as you are, Gene.

I hate to quit on anything,
but sometimes you have no choice.

If it makes you feel any better ...

I'll tell you something I didn't want
to admit even to myself.

If we'd found the byzanium,
I'm not sure we could hung on to it.

I don't think we could have tagged it
for defense only and made it stick.

- We got the president's assurance of that.
- Yeah , that's right, but ...

Presidents don't stay in office forever
and even if they did circumstances change.

- What does that mean?
- Well, it means that, uh ...

if the government falls
in the Middle East or somewhere ...

they start bombing Pakistan
or somewhere else...

It effects all of us.

What this got to do with
The Sicilian Project?

Nothing.
Maybe ...

I'm just saying that somewhere in the world
in some think tank, right now...

they're figuring out a way to build a
byzanium bomb.

Why, if you knew that...

in God's name why did you go
along with this whole operation?

Because I believed in
what we were trying to do.

And if it didn't work defensively ...

if somebody was going to make a byzanium bomb ...

I wanted it to be us.

He thinks just like you do.
I don't understand that kind of thinking.

You're both couple of cynics.
You think this is some kind of lousy game.

If I thought the way
Sandecker does I wouldn't

started the damn project
in the first place.

I'm glad we didn't find the stuff.

Are you?

Okay?

But I'm not got to let you wriggle
off the hooks so easy, Seagram.

Not now.

Take a look at this.

It's a postcard.
I saw it.

That's right. An English postcard.
We all saw it.

Brewster must have bought it, stuck it
in his briefcase and never mailed it.

Take a look at the fine print on the back.
Come on, read it.

Uh ...typical country
church and grave yard in

county of Hampshire near
the village of Southby.

Southby?

Twenty miles from Southampton.

We were wrong.

We thought it was a man,
but it's a place.

Thank God for Southby.

And this is the one.
Jake Hobart.

I'll go get the shovels.

Excuse me.

Jackpot.

- Do you want us to dig it up?
- I don't know.

You'll have to ask Doctor Seagram
that question.

It's your decision, Gene.
Whether you like it or not.

Don't you want us to dig it up?

No.

What's so funny?

- I knew a girl once .
- I'll bet you did.

Years later I ran into her again,
she says, what happened to you?

I thought you were going
to change the world.

- What'd you say?
- I said they had me out numbered.

Is that my lesson for the day?

No more lessons.
No more lectures.

You mean school's out?

Yeah, you just graduated, professor.
