This is Richard Valeriani
reporting live for CNN

from the French aircraft carrier,
Foch,

somewhere in the Mediterranean.

Six days ago,
as the rebellion in Chechnya spread

to the neighbouring
Caucas republics,

the Russian president
ordered massive bombing strikes

against rebel positions
around Rutul and Belokany.

Appalled at the loss of human life,

the President
of the United States.

joined by the French president
and the British prime minister...

suspended all foreign aid to Russia.

Ultranationalist leader
Vladimir Radchenko denounced

the US pressure as an act of war

against the Russian Republic
and Russian sovereignty.

Denouncing his own president
as a US puppet,

he called on the Russian people
to join him in revolt.

He said,
"This brutish and hypocritical

American intervention
will not go unanswered."

On Tuesday, at 10:00 in the morning,
Moscow time,

the Russian parliament was suspended
and martial law was declared.

With the government in crisis,
the Russian Republic

was entering into
what can only be described

as a state of civil war.

Then, yesterday at dawn,
Radchenko and rebel forces...

seized the region
around Vladivostok...

including a naval base and a nuclear
missile base housing Russian ICBMs.

As regular Russian military forces
move in to encircle Radchenko...

allied military forces
are in a state of high alert.

These French planes
taking off behind me

have been deployed near the Caucasus
since the beginning of the crisis.

And the crisis,
which started in the Caucasus,

has now spread to the Far East

and appears to be turning into

the worst standoff
since the Cuban missile crisis.

This is Richard Valeriani,
reporting live for CNN...

from the French aircraft carrier,
Foch,

somewhere in the Mediterranean.

KIDS: Abracadabra!
I-I-I-I can't hear you.

Abracadabra!

Ooh!
Oh, he shot fire!

I need a volunteer
from the audience. KIDS: Me! Me!

Me, me, me, me, me!
Me! Me! Me!

A brave volunteer.

KIDS: Me! Me!

Preferably...
Preferably somebody who was born...

..on October 18, 1990.
Me! Me! Me!

That's you, honey. That's you.
Me! Me!

Me!
Over here? Over here?

Ah, you must be the birthday girl.
What's your name? Robin.

'..Russian ultranationalist leader,
backed by his rebel army...'

Stand up here on the chair...
'..threatened nuclear attack

'on the United States and Japan.

'The threats come as a response
to the United States' involvement

'in Chechnya
and are not considered idle.'

Now, sit on the board and tell me,
Robin, do you believe in magic?

Good. Because if you believe
in magic... Where'd he go?

I'll get him. I'll get him.
Be right back.

..we can suspend you in the air
without the help of a flying carpet.

'Meeting in an emergency session...'
Come on.

You'll miss
your daughter's levitation.

'..with the Joint Chiefs
of Staff...'

'That footage was taken yesterday,
but half an hour ago,

'surrounded by hostile forces,
rebel leader Vladimir Radchenko

'threatened to use nuclear arms...'
Maybe it's not as bad as it looks.

'..on the United States and Japan,
should anyone,

'including the Russian Army,
attempt to move in on him.'

PHONE RINGS

'Based on the history of this man,
this cannot be viewed

'as an idle threat.
Sander Vanocur is standing by...'

It is.

Commander Hunter.

THUNDER CRACKS

MUSIC: 'Moonlight Sonata'
by Ludwig van Beethoven

Annapolis.
Five patrols on fast attacks.

Two on boomers... One as XO.

Hmm. A year at...

Excuse me, Harvard?

I talked to your former CO
He tells me he tried to adopt you.

As you no doubt heard,
my XO has appendicitis.

He's the best I ever had.

I need a good man to fill his spot.

Your name was at the top
of the list.

Well, that's good to know, sir.

It was a short list.

Your interests, Mr Hunter. What
do you like to do? Do you, uh...

Do you paint, play ball, play an
instrument, ride motorcycles? What?

Ride horses.
Horses.

What's the best horse you ever rode?
Arabian, sir.

An Arabian?
Now, that's a powerful animal.

Yes.

You ever ridden one?
Who, me? Are you kidding?

Nah, I couldn't handle an Arabian.
Yeah, just give me an old paint.

LAUGHTER

Yeah, horses are
fascinating animals.

Dumb as fence posts,
but very intuitive.

In that way, they're not too
different from high school girls.

They might not have
a brain in their head,

but they do know
all the boys wanna fuck 'em.

LAUGHS

You don't have to be able
to read Ulysses

to know where they're comin' from.
No, sir.

BARKS

He approves of you.

Jack Russells. Smartest dogs alive.

Name's Bear.
Goes every place with me.

Well, welcome aboard the Alabama,
son.

Do me proud.
I will, sir.

Congratulations, Mr Hunter.
Thank you.

'If one Russian citizen is killed...
..and I am president,

'then I will kill 900,000
of the people who are responsible.'

'You'd use nuclear weapons?'
'Yes, I would hit them...'

Attention!
'..with nuclear weapons.'

At ease. Be seated.
'Sir, such talk is highly

'inflammatory.'
'My dear young lady,

'I do not engage in "talk."
These are serious threats

'which I hope to be in the position
to carry out.'

I take it you've seen enough?

Gentlemen,
after a nice little vacation,

looks like we're back at it again.

I hope you enjoyed the peace,
because, as of now,

we're back in business.

In the good old days
of the Cold War,

the Russians could always
be depended on doing

whatever's in
their own best interest.

But this Radchenko's playing
a whole new ball game...

with a whole new set of rules.

Now, I've heard people talk, but
I don't think this man's talking

just to get his picture
in the paper.

He seems to have a serious weed
up his ass and a legitimate gripe.

LAUGHTER
Always a dangerous combination.

And I think he's capable of doing
every damn thing he says

he's going to do.

That's why we have to go out there
and give the man a moment of pause.

So ends theory.
Thus, let us begin the facts.

We've been informed by the NSA
that an entire rebel corps

of the Russian Army is involved.

That's four armoured divisions,
numbering 60,000 men.

There seems to be
massive defections.

Vladimir appears to be winning
the hearts and minds

of the Russian soldiers.

Admiral?
Thank you.

They've seized the region by
the Chinese and North Korea borders.

That includes a submarine base...

from which they've surged
four Akula-class attack subs.

They have acquired
a nuclear base at Artem...

..that houses 25 hardened silos
for Russian ICBMs...

..armed with
up to ten warheads apiece.

Now, the Russian government has
assured us that talks are under way.

They claim that Radchenko forces...

do not possess the launch codes.

But if Radchenko
were to crack them...

they could launch against
our west coast direct...

or come in over the Pole,
take out Washington and New York.

The Commander-in-Chief
has directed US Military forces...

to set... DEFCON four.

We've been ordered to get underway
at 0600 hours...

to assume alert coverage,
mid-Pacific,

the Far Eastern TVD target package.
Please keep your men informed.

Lieutenant Commander Hunter
is our new XO

Please bring him up to speed
on ship's personnel and supplies.

Admiral?
No, that's it.

On your feet.

Holy shit.
Wow...

Here we go again, Commander.
Thank you.

You bet. Hey, Bobby.
This is Bobby Dougherty, Supplies.

Pleasure, Dougherty.

Billy Linkletter, TSO.
Mr Linkletter. Commander.

And, uh, you know Darik...
Yes. Westergaurd. Hey.

Long time no see. Yeah. How's Julia?
She's excellent. Good.

And, uh, Roy Zimmer, Communications.
Mr Zimmer. Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Uh, we served together
on the Baton Rouge. Twice.

That's right.
And, uh, we're lucky to have him.

I think his dog gave me
the final seal of approval.

He's crazy about that dog.
Takes him everywhere.

The Navy looks the other way
cos he's Ramsey.

The Navy looks the other way cos
he's one of the few skippers left

who've actually seen some combat.
He took SEALS into Panama in '89.

Tomahawks in the Gulf in '91.

Took out what?
Eight or nine XOs in '94?

Ouch. Last one caught...
What was it? Appendicitis?

LAUGHTER
Yeah, right.

The Enemy Below.

Robert Mitchum.
And?

And what? Robert Mitchum.
Incomplete answer.

What, the German guy
with the white hair?

Yeah. What's his name?
Who was it?

Curt Jurgens.
No.

THUNDER CRACKS

Right over there!

Hardy Kruger.
No way.

Robert Shaw in his Nazi period.

Question is invalid. We're even.

How you doin'?
Hi. I'm fine. Thanks. Good.

Address me as "sir" when you speak
to me! Stand at attention, sailor!

Is he gonna fit in the sub?
Doubtful.

Who played the German sub commander

in The Enemy Below
with Robert Mitchum?

Was it Curt Jurgens or Hardy Kruger?
Sir?

Wrong answer!
Drop down and give me 20! Now!

Move! Move!
One... two...

Run Silent, Run Deep.
..three...

The guy with the ears... ..four...
..and the little moustache.

..five...
Cary Grant.

I'm worried about T.

Why?
She doesn't know what's goin' on.

I think she thinks
I'm goin' away forever.

I'll take care of her.

You will? Yeah.
You promise? I promise.

I love you, Dad.
I love you too, son.

OK. Um...

You know I don't know what to say.
Just say goodbye.

See you in my dreams.

Give me a kiss.

Mmm.

Davis.
How you doin', sir?

Crew present
and accounted for, sir!

Little ducks...

..there's trouble in Russia...

..so they called us.

And we're going over there...

..and bringing the most lethal
killing machine ever devised.

We're capable...
of launching more firepower...

..than has ever been released
in the history of war.

For one purpose alone...

..keep our country safe.

We constitute the front line...

..and the last line of defence.

I expect and demand...

..your very best.

Anything less, you should have
joined the Air Force.

LAUGHTER

This might be
our Commander-in-Chief's Navy...

..but this is my boat.

And all I ask
is that you keep up with me.

And if you can't...

..that strange sensation
you'll be feeling

in the seat of your pants...
will be my boot in your ass!

LAUGHTER

Mr Cob?
Yes, sir!

You're aware of the name
of this ship, aren't you, Mr Cob?

Very aware, sir!

It bears a proud name,
doesn't it, Mr Cob?

Very proud, sir!

It represents fine people.
Very fine people, sir!

Who live in a fine,
outstanding state. Outstanding, sir!

In the greatest country
in the entire world.

In the entire world, sir!

And what is that name, Mr Cob?
Alabama, sir!

And what do we say?
BOTH: Go, 'Bama!

Roll tide!

Chief of the boat, dismiss the crew.

Dismiss the crew. Aye, aye, sir!

Crew! Department heads!
Attend to your departments!

Fall out!
CHEERS

Here.

Part of your qualification
for command.

Ahh.

My last breath of polluted air
for the next 65 days.

Gonna miss it.
I don't trust air I can't see.

This is my favourite part.
Right here, right now.

Bravo, Hunter.

Sir?

You knew to shut up
and enjoy the view.

Most eggheads want to talk it away.

Your stock just went up
a couple of points.

Thank you, sir.

Allow me to give you
a tiny bit of advice.

If you want your own boat
some day...

the very worst thing you can do
is worry about yourself

or try to impress me.

I can't stand save-asses,
and I won't abide kiss-asses.

You keep your priorities straight.
Your mission and your men.

How do you like that cigar?

It's good, sir.
It's your first. Yeah.

COUGHS

Don't like it too much.
They're more expensive than drugs.

XO, take her down.
Take her down. Aye, sir.

Control, Bridge. Sounding.

'Bridge, Control.
Sounding 130 fathoms.'

Lookouts, clear the bridge.
Clear the bridge. Aye, sir.

Officer of the deck,
prepare to dive.

Captain's down.
Captain is down.

XO Down.
XO Is down.

Submerge the ship.
Diving Officer, submerge the ship.

Make your depth 150 feet.
Make my depth 150 feet. Aye, sir.

Chief of the watch,
on the 1 MC, dive, dive!

Make your depth 150 feet.
Five degree down bubble.

I don't understand.
What don't you understand?

Radchenko is a fanatic, OK?
He's a potential Hitler.

Somebody should just
step up and shoot him.

I have no problem with that.
Good.

Well, it's fanatics
who make history.

Hell, Patton was a fanatic.
It's what made him great.

You think this guy is Patton?
He's a dangerous lunatic

and he's threatening nuclear war,
and he means it.

What's that make us,
since we're the only nation

ever dropped a nuclear bomb
on anyone?

It makes us a prime target.
I mean, there's half a dozen other

Third World countries
with atom bombs who'd love

to drop one on us.
That's right. That's why

we should drop one on them.
What are you, a communist?

You have a problem with us
dropping nuclear bombs on Japan?

LAUGHTER
Shut up, Dougherty.

You think it was a mistake,
Mr Hunter? Sir?

Using the bomb
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Well, if I thought that, sir,
I wouldn't be here.

Interesting way you put that.
How'd I put it, sir?

Very carefully.

LAUGHTER

You do qualify your remarks.

If somebody asked me
if we should have bombed Japan,

a simple "Yes, by all means,
sir, drop that fucker. Twice."

LAUGHTER

I don't mean to suggest
that you're indecisive, Mr Hunter.

Not at all.

Just, um... complicated.

Of course,
that's the way the Navy wants you.

Me, they wanted simple.

Well, you certainly fooled them,
sir.

CHUCKLES

Be careful there, Mr Hunter.

It's all I got to rely on, bein'
a simple-minded son of a bitch.

Rickover gave me my command,
a checklist,

a target and a button to push.

All I had to know is how to push it.
They'd tell me when.

They seem to want you to know why.

I would hope they'd want us
all to know why, sir.

At the Naval War College, it was
metallurgy and nuclear reactors,

not 19th-century philosophy.

"War is a continuation
of politics by other means."

Von Clausewitz.

I think, uh, sir, that what he was
actually trying to say

was a little more...
Complicated?

LAUGHTER

Y-Yes, the purpose of war is,
is to serve a political end,

but the true nature of war
is to serve itself.

LAUGHING
I'm very impressed.

In other words, the sailor
most likely to win the war

is the one most willing
to part company with the politicians

and ignore everything
except the destruction of the enemy.

Uh, you'd agree with that?
Well...

..I'd agree that, uh...

that's what Clausewitz
was trying to say.

But you wouldn't agree with it?
No, sir, I do not.

No, I just think
that in the nuclear world...

..the true enemy can't be destroyed.

TINGS

Attention on deck.

Von Clausewitz will now tell us
exactly who the real enemy is.

LAUGHTER
Von?

LAUGHTER

In my humble opinion...

..in the nuclear world,
the true enemy is war itself.

# Everywhere I go
Your face I see

# Every step I take

# You take with me

# Nowhere to run to, baby

# Nowhere to hide

# Got nowhere to run, baby

# Nowhere to hide

# I know you're no good for me

# But free of you,
I'll never be, baby... #

Look out!
Move!

Move it, move it, move it!

Fire in the galley!
Fire in the galley!

Chief of the watch,
sound the general alarm!

ALARM BLARES

'Forward damage control, bring
additional fire extinguishers...'

Fire's out of control. He's hurtin'.
You hit the kill switch?

Couldn't get to it. Too hot!

'Attention, all hands.
The fire has been contained.

'Damage control party, assess damage
and report to Control.'

Initiate weapons system
readiness test. Aye, sir.

All right, station a reflash watch.

This thing
could flare back up again.

Conn, Radio. We are receiving

flash traffic
emergency action message.

Recommend alert one.
Recommend alert one.

Alert one, alert one!

Man battle stations missile
for weapons systems readiness test.

'Spin up all missiles.'

What the hell is he runnin'
a missile drill now for?

You're in charge.
Aye, sir.

'Man battle stations missiles
for weapons system readiness test.

'Spin up all missiles.
This is an exercise...'

Captain's in Control!

I agree. The message
is properly formatted.

Sir, we have a properly formatted
emergency action message

for weapons system
readiness test, sir.

I concur, sir.
Where's the XO?

Sir.
Good of you to make it, Mr Hunter.

Get the authenticator.
Get the authenticator.

Let's go.

Sir, request permission
to authenticate.

Permission granted. Authenticate.

"Alpha, Alpha, Bravo, Echo,
Charlie, Zulu, Tango."

"Alpha, Alpha, Bravo, Echo,
Charlie, Zulu, Tango."

Captain, message is authentic.
I concur, sir.

I agree.
Message is authentic.

Sir, your captain's missile key.

Set condition 1 SQ for WSRT. This is
the captain. This is an exercise.

Set condition 1 SQ for WSRT.
This is the XO. This is an exercise.

Captain, that fire
in the galley could still flare...

Now is not the time.
Make your depth 150 feet. All stop.

Make my depth 150 feet. All stop.
Aye, sir.

Weapons, Conn.
Simulate pressurizing, all tubes.

Weapons, Conn.
Simulate pressurizing, all tubes.

'Conn, Weapons. Simulate

Aye, aye, sir.
Simulate pressurizing, all missiles.

Simulate pressurizing, all missiles.
Aye.

All stations, proceed to 1 SQ.
Ready all missiles for launch.

Come on, guys. Let's go!

Weapons, Captain.
Report approximate time for 1 SQ.

Captain, Weapons. Approximate time
to weapons system 1 SQ.

Fourteen minutes, sir.

Ship is at launch depth.
Ready to hover, sir.

Very well. Commence hovering.
Commence hovering. Aye, sir.

Control, Sick Bay.
Chief Petty Officer Marichek

is undergoing cardiac arrest.
We're beginning CPR.

Chief of the watch, on the 1 MC.

Gentlemen, may I have
your attention, please?

We've received word that one
of our shipmates is experiencing

a medical problem.
We're terminating the drill.

Mr Mahoney, take the conn.
I'm going below.

XO.
Aye, sir. I have the conn.

Clear.

It's OK, Chief.

Thank you, sir. Sorry, sir.

Hiya, boy. Hiya, hiya, hiya.

How ya doin'? Oh, boy. Yeah.

So, Mr Hunter... do you think
I was wrong to run that drill?

Not necessarily, sir.
Do you think I got that man killed?

No, sir. One thing had nothing to do
with the other.

It was an accident.

Would you have run the drill?
No, sir, I would not.

Why not?

The fire in the galley
could have flared back up.

I would have seen to it first, sir.
I'm sure you would have.

Me, on the other hand,
I tend to think that

that's the best time
to run a drill.

Confusion on the ship
is nothing to fear.

It should be taken advantage of.

Lest you forget, Mr Hunter,
we are a ship of war,

designed for battle.

You don't just fight battles
when everything is hunky-dory.

What'd you think, son?
I was just some crazy old coot

putting everyone in harm's way
as I yelled "yee-haw"?

That was not my first thought, sir.

But there's no excuse.
At the time I was fighting the fire

in the galley,
I did not agree with your call, sir.

Take a seat.

Just so we understand each other...

..I don't have any problems
with questions or doubts.

As I said to you before, I'm not
seeking the company of kiss-asses.

When you got something to say to me,
you say it in private.

And if privacy
doesn't permit itself,

then you bite your fucking tongue.

Are we clear about that, Commander?
As a bell, sir.

Those sailors out there
are just boys.

Boys who are training to do
a terrible and unthinkable thing.

And if that ever occurs,
the only reassurance they'll have

that they're doing
the proper thing...

..is gonna derive
from their unqualified belief

in the unified chain of command.

That means we don't question
each other's motives

in front of the crew.

It means we don't
undermine each other.

It means in a missile drill,
they hear your voice

right after mine,
without hesitation.

Do you agree with that policy,
sailor? Absolutely, sir.

We're here to preserve democracy,
not to practice it.

There'll be a memorial service
in the enlisted men's mess

at 1100 hours.

Go see to it.
Aye, aye, sir.

Oh, Hunter.

Short of the outbreak
of World War III...

the ship sinking or being attacked
by a giant octopus,

I'd like to be undisturbed
for the next 30 minutes.

I'll see to it, sir.

By the way, it was Marichek's
300 pounds that killed him...

..not the fire.

Dismissed.

One, two, three, four.

Jab. Jab.

One, two. One, two.

MUSIC: 'Sweet Home Alabama'
by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

You OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.

Does it make any sense to you
to start a drill

in the middle of a fire?

Fire was out, wasn't it?
Yeah, and a man died too.

Not cos of what the captain did.
What?

Not cos of what the captain did.
Weps.

A fire is a serious threat
to the ship.

Now, where was he?
Why didn't he check it out first,

huh?
That's his style. He's a hard-ass.

So what?
So, you wanna fight him, go ahead.

You wanna get along, you gotta get
to understand him a little bit.

Two schools of thought here.

To him, you're Annapolis, Harvard...

expert on theory,
well-versed in world affairs. Ha!

He's had his head up his ass
drivin' ships for the last 25 years.

He's probably a little paranoid
about that.

I mean, Navy's all he's got.

Navy and that little rat-dog of his.

That's why his wife left him.

So what are you saying?

I'm just sayin' watch out...
give him a little room.

Let him get to know you.

You do pants, too?

Conn, Radio.
Receiving emergency action message.

Recommend alert one.
Recommend alert one.

Alert one! Alert one!
Incoming emergency action message!

Alert one. Alert one. Incoming EAM.

Captain.

Captain has asked me to brief you
on the emergency action message

we just received.

As you know,
before we got under way...

the Russian Army was in position
and circling the rebel camps...

..and Radchenko started making
extravagant threats

should anyone move in on him...

..that he would launch
his land-based nuclear weapons

at the United States and at Japan.

The only safeguard
was that the Russian government

controlled the launch codes.

Intel now indicates that those
launch codes have been compromised.

And US Military forces have been
directed to set DEFCON three.

The last time we hit
this state of emergency

was 32-and-a-half years ago
during the Cuban missile crisis.

So, this is what it's all about,
gentlemen.

It's what we've trained for.

Captain.

The NCA has determined that...

..should our satellites detect
rebel missiles being fuelled...

..which means they could be launched
in just over one hour...

..we'll be compelled to act.

Now, given our patrol sector here
in the Emperor Sea Mounts...

it seems clear
that our friends in the Pentagon...

..are setting us up
for a potential pre-emptive strike.

It's important to remain focused.

Keep your men informed.

Any questions?

Dismissed.

We lost that frying unit,
and then, uh, we...

CRASHES
..we can't get the same capacity

in here any more.

CLATTERS

I'm gonna fuck you up!
Get out! Get...

Get out of here, man! Get him out!
Motherfucker!

Fuckin' dirty piece of shit!

Whoa. All right.

Rivetti, what's up?
I'm sorry, sir.

It's just a difference of opinion
that got out of hand. What about?

It's really too silly to talk about,
sir. I'd rather just forget about...

I don't give a damn about
what you'd rather forget about.

Why were you two fighting?

Well, I said
that the Kirby Silver Surfer

was the only real Silver Surfer...

and that the Moebius Silver Surfer
was shit.

And Bennefield's a big Moebius fan,
and, uh...

things got out of hand.
I pushed him, he pushed me.

I lost my head, sir. I'm sorry.
Rivetti, you're a supervisor.

You can get a commission like that.

I know it, sir. You're 100% right.

It'll never happen again, all right?
It better not happen again.

I see this kind of nonsense,
I'mma write you up. You understand?

Do you understand?
Yes, sir.

You have to set an example
even in the face of stupidity.

Everybody that reads comic books
knows that Kirby's Silver Surfer

is the only true Silver Surfer.
Now, am I right or wrong?

Y-You're right, sir.

All right. Get out of here.
Yes, sir.

Captain.
How can I help you?

Test results from the missile drill.

This the best they can do?
No, sir, but that's what they did.

I want this down to five minutes.
Train on it. Yes, sir.

You tell your buddy, Weps,
we're gonna do it again.

We're gonna keep on doing it
until he gets it right. Damn.

Feels like the whole crew
needs a kick in the ass.

Or a pat on the back, sir.

I just witnessed a fight down
in crew's mess. No big deal, but...

I think the men are...

a little on edge
with all we're going through.

Morale seems to be a bit low.

Well... you seem to have
the pulse of the men.

Thank you, sir.

May I have your attention, please?

# Summer's here
And the time is right... #

'Mr Hunter has brought it
to my attention...'

that morale may be a bit low...

..that you may be a bit...

On edge, sir.
..on edge...

..so I suggest this.

Any crew member who feels
he can't handle this situation...

can leave the ship right now.

Gentlemen, we're at DEFCON three.
War is imminent.

This is the captain.

Rivetti, what the hell is going on?
Sir, the master 28

is classified as
a Russian Akula-class hunter-killer.

Aye, aye, sir.

Five degree down bubble.
Rigging for ultra-quiet, sir.

Gentlemen, this is the captain.

We have an Akula-class submarine
out there.

We know that Radchenko controls
at least four submarines.

This could be one of them.

Russian rebels have threatened
a launch against our country...

and are fuelling right now.

They will have launch capability
in 60 minutes.

We also have orders
to launch our missiles,

which is exactly
what we're going to do.

We are rigging for ultra-quiet.
All hands be ready.

This is as real as it gets.

We'll presume nothing,
defend ourselves at all cost.

If that sub so much as comes around
or opens up a tube door,

we're gonna take her out.

Passing 900 feet.

He's gone.

OK, pull up the code.
What do you got?

XO, incoming EAM on the broadcast,

but we're too deep to receive
any radio communication, sir.

BLEEP

Captain.
XO.

We got a limited radio transmission
indicating an incoming EAM.

We need to go shallow
to re-establish communications.

With that sub still up there?

Mr Hunter, it's my inten...

Come up to the conn, Mr Hunter.
Yes, sir.

Zero bubble.
Zero bubble. Aye, sir.

'Conn, Weapons. Missile systems

Sir.
'Attention, all hands.

'Ship has been rigged

When our missile system is ready...
Mr Hunter... it is my intention

to rise to launch depth,
launch our birds

and then get the hell out of there.
Not until then.

I can't jeopardize
the safety of this ship. Yes, sir.

May I suggest that we float
the buoy, sir? We have enough cable.

That should give us enough reach
to receive the EAM transmission...

..sir.

Very well. Float the buoy.

Chief of the watch, float the buoy.
Float the radio buoy. Aye, sir.

Radio buoy deploying, sir.
Tension, 2,000 pounds.

Yes, sir. I got it.

That's it?
Uh, uh-huh. It's incomplete, sir.

We lost it when the radio
buoy cable got severed.

All right.

All right, gentlemen,
let's get on with it.

All ahead one-third.

Steady. Aye, sir.

Make your depth 150 feet.

Zero bubble.
Up slow and silent to launch depth.

Up slow and silent to launch depth.
Aye, aye, Captain.

Captain?

Got the EAM.

What do you think?
I think there's nothing on this.

Yes, sir. It, uh,
it got cut off during the attack.

Then it's meaningless.

Sir, this is an EAM pertaining to

nuclear missile launch...
No, Mr Hunter.

That's a message fragment.

Because it got cut off
during the attack, sir.

It could mean anything,
a message to abort,

It could be... It could be
a fake Russian transmission.

Which is exactly why
we need to confirm, sir.

All I'm asking for is the time
we need to get back online.

Calm down, Mr Hunter.
I am calm.

You don't appear to be calm.

'Conn, Weapons. Missile systems
ready to launch in four minutes.'

Step aside, seaman.
Yes, sir.

We have orders in hand.

And those orders are
to make a pre-emptive launch.

Every second that we lose
increases the chances

that by the time
our missiles arrive,

their silos could be empty
cos they've flown their birds

and struck us first.
Yes, sir.

You know as well as I do
that any launch order received

without authentication
is no order at all.

Captain...
That's our number-one rule.

National Mili...
That rule is the basis

for the scenario we've trained on
time and time again. Yes, sir.

It's a rule we follow
without exception. Captain,

National Military Command Center
knows what sector we're in.

They have satellites looking down on
us to see if our birds are aloft,

and if they're not, then they give
our orders to somebody else.

That's why we maintain
more than one sub.

It's what they call "redundancy."
I know about redundancy,

Mr Hunter.
All I'm saying...

All I'm saying, Captain,
is that we have backup.

Now, it's our duty not to launch
until we can confirm.

You're presuming
that we have other submarines

out there ready to launch.

Well, as captain, I must assume
that our submarines

could've been taken out
by other Akulas.

We can play these games all night,
Mr Hunter,

but I don't have the luxury
of your presumptions. Sir...

Mr Hunter, we have rules
that are not open to interpretation,

personal intuition, gut feelings,
hairs on the back of your neck,

little devils or angels
sitting on your shoulders.

Captain...
We're all very well aware

of what our orders are...
and what those orders mean.

They come down
from our Commander-in-Chief.

They contain no ambiguity.
Captain...

Mr Hunter, I've made the decision.
I'm captain of this boat.

Now, shut the fuck up!

Damn.

Weapons, Conn.

Shift targeting to target package
SLBM 64741,

slice 2. This is the captain.

Captain, I cannot concur.
Repeat my command.

Sir, we don't know
what this message means.

Our target package
could have changed.

You repeat this order
or I'll find somebody who will!

Hell, no, you won't, sir.
You're relieved of your position.

Cob, remove Mr Hunter
from the control room.

Get Lieutenant Zimmer
in here right now! No, sir.

No, sir, I do not concur
and I do not recognise

your authority to relieve me on
the command under Navy regulations.

Cob, arrest this man and get him
out of here! Captain Ramsey,

under the operating procedures
governing the release

of nuclear weapons,
we cannot launch our missiles

unless both you and I agree.
Cob!

What are you waiting for?
This is not a formality, sir!

This is expressly why
your command must be repeated.

It requires my assent.
I do not give it.

And furthermore,
you continue upon this course

and insist upon this launch without
confirming this message first...

Son of a bitch! I will be forced...
Chief of the boat!

..by the rules of precedents...
As captain and commanding officer,

I order you to place the XO...
..regulation 08150H6...

..under arrest on the charge of
mutiny! ..of the Navy regulations...

I say again... ..to relieve you
of command, Captain!

..I order you to place the XO Under
arrest on the charge of mutiny!

Cob!
Captain, please. The XO Is right.

We can't launch unless he concurs.

"To the USS Alabama.

"Rebel controlled missiles
being fuelled.

"Launch codes compromised.

"Dissidents threaten launch
at continental United States.

"Set DEFCON 2.

"Immediately launch
ten Trident missile sorties."

They're fuelling their missiles!
We don't have time to fuck around!

Sir, I think you need time
to think this over.

I don't have to think this over!

Captain, I relieve you
of your command of this ship.

Cob, escort the captain
to his stateroom.

I'm assuming command.
You're not assuming anything.

Chief of the boat,
Captain Ramsey's under arrest!

Lock him in his stateroom.
Captain, please...

Now, Cob!
Aye, sir.

Mitchell. Walker.
Take the captain below.

You're way out of your league,
Hunter.

You're not ready to make
tough decisions yet.

What the hell are we waitin' for?

Anybody here disagrees
with what I've done...

..then you feel free
to relieve yourself of duty now.

Anybody?

All right.

All stations.
Aye, sir.

'This is the executive officer.

'I've assumed command of this ship
under authority granted me

'by Navy regulations.

'I have relieved Captain Ramsey

'..pending confirmation

'Remain at battle stations missile.

'Carry on.'

What the hell are we doin', Fred?

I don't know about you,
but I'm pissin' my pants.

Come on, boy.

Conn, Weapons. Russians will have
missile launch capability...

in 39 minutes.

Chief of the boat.

Sir?

Thank you, Cob.
"Thank you"?

Fuck you. Get it straight,
Mr Hunter.

I'm not on your side.
Now, you could be wrong.

But wrong or right, the captain
can't just replace you at will.

That was completely improper,
and that's why I did what I did.

By the book.

I thank you anyway.

Radio, Conn.
Mr Zimmer, get those communications

back online now.

We're working on it, sir.
Aye, aye, Captain.

Are you ready?
Uh, ready. Go.

Jesus. Fuckin' thing. Come on.
This whole system is crashed.

Radio buoy is severed.
What the fuck does he want us to do?

Shit electrons?

Maximum speed. Aye, sir!

Sonar, Conn. Let me know
when our range to that Akula

is open to 1,000 yards!

Conn, Sonar. Aye, sir!

Goddamn it, let's just shoot
this fucker. What's 1,000 yards for?

Cos it takes 1,000 yards
for the torpedoes to arm.

Jesus, who'd you fuck

Chief of the boat, how are we doing?

Sir, we are going down!
I need propulsion!

Take it easy!

Conn, Bilge Bay.
Flooding has recommenced!

It looks like three men are trapped!

Bilge Bay, Conn.
Try and get those men out of there

as soon as you can
and seal that bay.

Sir, if we don't seal the bilge bay
now, we'll lose the ship.

Bilge Bay, Conn.
Can you get the men out?

Sir, there's no fuckin' way!

If I go down there,
I'll never get out!

Barnes, come on! You gotta come!

'Move! Move! Barnes, come on,
come on! You can do it! Move it!'

Bilge Bay, Conn. Seal that bay.

Barnes, let's go! Come on!
I gotta close the hatch!

What the fuck are we doing here?

Bilge Bay, Conn.
I say again, seal that bay!

Sir, there are men down there

Captain.

Sir.
How bad is it, Mr Dougherty?

It's bad, sir.

I've just been looking
at Hunter's file here.

Closest to combat he's been
is a policy seminar.

Give me an order, sir.

As quietly as you can, you get
to Mr Zimmer and Mr Westergaurd.

How about Linkletter?

Nah, you won't be able to talk
to the TSO. He's at the conn.

But you can get to Weps.
We gotta have Weps. He's the key.

You get me those men,
a small security force,

then come back and get me.

Aye, sir.
Don't get overzealous

and try to recruit the whole ship.

We'll lead from the top down.
Aye, sir... Right away.

Radio's 50%.

Can I talk to you
in the passageway?

Right now, Pete... Come on.

What's goin' on?

We're not gonna let this go down
with the XO At the helm.

We're not?
No, we're not.

I been with the captain for years
and this asshole Hunter shows up,

and I'm supposed to follow him
cos he says so?

You're not supposed to,
you've been ordered to.

That's what this is about!
Proper orders.

Proper orders? He has proper orders.
He won't act on them.

He's in command now!

If they order him to launch,
we'll launch,

and we'll blow 'em all to hell.

But I'd rather go down myself
than get this one wrong.

Look, our procedures are clear.

In the absence
of a contravening order,

in a situation like this,
we follow the orders in hand.

Exactly. You know how many checks
we go through to make sure

a launch order is authentic?
The XO agreed with those orders.

Now, he just wants
to throw them away?

They don't count?
He's lost his nerve. Bullshit!

I know this guy, Bobby! You...

Weps, we've been ordered to launch.

Now, why in the world
would we do that

if they weren't prepared
to launch at us?

We don't know that for sure!
That's the whole point!

That's why he wants time
to confirm the message.

That's the whole fucking point,
is we don't have time!

Radchenko is fuelling his birds.

Now, why do you think
he's doing that? Why?

You don't put on a condom
unless you're gonna fuck.

Go back to your station.
Excuse me.

Go back to your station
and stay there.

Come on, man.

Peter, think about your family, man.

I am. I am!

I mean, what do you...
what do you plan to do?

Nothing without you. You're
a senior officer department head.

The TSO's with Hunter.

And you have the keys
to the small arms locker.

Now, we wanna recruit
a few more men,

and then we're gonna open up
that arsenal.

I just talked to the captain
in his room.

He specifically asked for you.
He says we cannot go without you.

I don't believe this.

This is a mutiny, Peter.

There's only two sides to a mutiny.

Now, your captain
is asking for your help.

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

All right.

Conn, Weapons.

Russian missiles will have
launch capability in 24 minutes.

You're doing the right thing.

How long is it gonna take?
I don't know, sir.

Do you know what's going on here?
Yes, sir.

No, I don't think you do.

Let me explain it to you.
If we launch and we're wrong,

what's left of Russia
is gonna launch at us.

There will be a nuclear holocaust
beyond imagination,

So it's all about knowing, Mr...
Vossler.

We have to know whether or not

our order to launch
has been recalled or not.

The only way we're gonna know
is if you fix that radio.

You understand me?
Yes, sir.

You ever watch Star Trek?

Yeah, of course I seen Star Trek.
Star Trek. You know, Star Trek.

The USS Enterprise.
Yeah.

You remember when the Klingons
were gonna blow up the Enterprise,

Captain Kirk calls down to Scotty,
"Scotty, I gotta have more power."

He needs more, more warp speed.
Warp speed. Exactly. Yeah.

Well, I'm Captain Kirk,
you're Scotty. I need more power.

I'm telling you,
if you do not get this radio up,

a billion people are gonna die.
Now, it's all up to you.

the National Command Center...

'we'll achieve launch depth
as quickly as we can

'for strategic missile launch.

'We all know what this means.'

It's not something
one would wish for...

..but we have the obligation

'under authenticated orders
issued by our Commander-in-Chief

'to prevent the attack
on our country.

'Russian missiles will have
launch capability in 15 minutes.

'Set condition 1 SQ.'

Spin up missiles 1-5 and 20-24

This is the captain.
Mr Zimmer is the new XO.

Set condition 1 SQ.

Spin up missiles 1-5 and 20-24...

This is the XO.

Weapons, Conn.

Confirm target package
SLBM 64741, 2...

'..for missiles 1-5 and 20-24.'

Target package confirmation, sir.
'This is the captain.'

Conn, Weapons. Confirm
target package SLBM 64741, 2

for missiles 1-5 and 20-24.
Aye, sir.

Look, it's not a mutiny.
I did everything by the book.

It's not about the book.

But if the Russians
are gonna launch

and we sit here and do nothing...
who's gonna stop 'em?

Half of me's glad
the captain came back.

He could be right, you know.

No orders are valid, Cob,
if they're wrong.

We don't know if they're wrong.
That's true. We don't know.

That's why
we have to find out first.

What if Radchenko surrendered
and it's over? Hmm?

We launch. They see us. They launch.

Our birds pass each other
in the air. Boom!

What do you got?
Nuclear war.

Nuclear holocaust.

What are you doing down here?

Jesus, I was just going to the...
Rivetti, nobody moves alone.

Come on. You know the drill.
What, Bennefield,

I need an escort to take a shit?
Shut up!

Now, I'm gonna call Control.
You stay right there.

Aw, fuck that.
I mean it, man!

OK, Moebius, open the door.
You broke my nose, man.

Shut up, fat boy.

Mr Rivetti, I'm impressed.
I never liked him, sir.

Rivetti, go to laundry,
get four sets of coveralls.

And four caps.
Aye, sir.

Good boy.

Davis. Can I talk to you a second?

Come on.

Everybody ready?
Yeah. Let's do it.

We're with you, sir.

Let's go.

Approaching launch depth.

Very well.
Make your depth 150 feet.

Zero bubble. Commence hovering.

Zero bubble. Commence hovering.
Aye, sir.

Conn, Weapons. Estimated time
to weapons system 1 SQ,

3 minutes, 30 seconds, sir.

Conn, Weapons.

Russian missiles will have
launch capability in 12 minutes.

'Opening missile hatches.'

BLEEPS

Weps.
Weps, this is Hunter. Listen to me.

Where are you?
Don't worry about where I am.

You cannot proceed.
We got other ships out there

that can handle this.
Now, you can't be influenced

by the captain or anybody else.
You gotta make up your own mind.

BEEP
Conn, Weapons.

Estimated time to missile launch,
three minutes and counting, sir.

Weps. Weps, listen. Don't do this.

Don't do this. Once you launch,
they cannot come back.

They cannot come back, Weps,
and you know the repercussions

if we're wrong, goddamn it!
Weps, if we fire now,

we'll be firing while we're blind
and crippled. Do you understand me?

Where the fuck are you?
Do not remove that firing trigger!

Do not open the safe.
Weps, it's up to you.

You're the only one that knows the
combination. It's up to you, Weps!

It's up to you.

Mind your fuckin' panel!

You guys ready?
Just about, sir.

Radio, XO. Vossler?

XO, Radio. Sir.

I don't know, sir.

Vossler, calm down. Just calm down.
Take a deep breath. Are you calm?

Yeah, sort of.

Get the radio fixed, Vossler.
I could have built one by now.

How long is it gonna take you?
I don't know.

Well, how much time do you need?

Shit! Let's go.

Missile tubes 1-5 and 20-24 at 1 SQ,
sir.

Ship is hovering on automatic.
Dive's at 1 SQ, Captain.

Missiles at 1 SQ.
Ready to launch, sir.

Sir, weapons system is at 1 SQ.

Missiles are ready for launch, sir.
Very well.

Weapons.
Aye, sir.

Weapons, Conn.
Remove the tactical firing trigger.

1 MC.
Aye, sir.

Weapons, this is the captain.
Unlock the tactical firing trigger.

Weps?

Missiles are ready to launch, man.

Sir.

Shit.

Mr Zimmer.

No one is to touch this key.

I'm gonna launch
from missile control.

Aye, aye, sir.

Westergaurd. Sir?
Dougherty. Come with me.

Mr Mahoney, take the conn.
Aye, sir. I have the conn.

What are you doing, man?
We're at 1 SQ. We're ready.

Mr Dougherty?
Aye.

Station your guards fore and aft.
Last two, forward hatch!

First two, aft hatch!

They're gonna fire
from missile control.

We gotta get back to the conn
and disarm the system. Come on.

We'll travel in the crawl spaces.

Mr Ince!

Mr Ince...
remove the tactical firing key.

Sir, it is my duty to...
Son, don't talk to me about duty.

Open the fucking safe!

I can't do that, sir.

I'm gonna count to three,

then I'm gonna blow
your fucking head off. One...

..two...

Shit!

It does me no good to kill you.

You're the only one
that knows the combination.

However... Petty Officer Hilaire...

..doesn't know the combination!

Millions of lives are at stake here,
Peter! Don't make a dumb decision!

One!

Two!

Sir!

Cob. Yo. You and Hunsicker are going
to enter the conn from the bow.

Rivetti, Linkletter and myself
will come in through the aft.

Rivetti, you jump right on Zimmer,
OK?

Come on. Come on!

Fire control ready? Aye, sir.
Launcher ready?

Aye, sir.
Initiate fire.

Freeze! Hold it, sir.
Drop the weapon now!

Move forward! Move forward!
Move, move, move! Get his pistol.

Fire one!
Number one did not fire, sir.

Sir, the captain's key
has been removed.

Hunter.

You're a piece of shit.

All right, you and you,
man the forward hatches.

Aye, sir. Aye, sir.
You, you, man the aft hatches.

Aye, sir.
We're going up to periscope depth.

We're going to
re-establish communications

and get that radio message. Now,
anybody got a problem with that?

Chief of the boat,
make your depth 78 feet.

Aye, aye, sir.
Make your depth 78 feet.

Five degree up bubble.
Mr Linkletter, man that periscope.

Aye, aye, sir.
Raising number two scope.

Radio, Conn. Mr Vossler.

This is Captain Kirk.
I need warp speed on that radio.

Yes, sir.

Conn, Weapons. Russian missiles
will have launch capability

in nine minutes.

CRACKLES,
FEEDBACK

Oh, shit! What? What happened?
Reattach that lead!

Seventy-eight feet.
At periscope depth, sir!

Mr Linkletter.
No close contact, sir.

Very well. Chief of the watch,
raise the VLF radio antenna.

Raise the VLF antenna. Aye, sir.

VLF antenna coming up!

Five, four, three.

Conn, Radio. Sir.
I think she's breathing.

We're getting close.

Halt, sir! Shoot me.
Shit. Shit.

I got him.

I have the conn.

Give me my missile key.

Give me the missile key, Mr Hunter.

I'm the commander of this fucking
ship! Give me the goddamn key!

'Conn, Weapons.

'Russian missiles will have
launch capability in seven minutes.'

'Conn, Radio. Sir!'

Radio, Conn!
Captain, Radio. Vossler, sir.

She's breathing again.
We are really, really close.

You got three minutes, Vossler.

Three minutes and counting.
Yes, sir.

You got three minutes.

CRACKLING,
BLEEPS

Come on.

Come on, Vossler. Come on. Come on.
Keep it going. Keep it going.

CRACKLES,
GLITCHES

Speaking of horses...

..did you ever see
those Lipizzaner stallions?

What?

From Portugal.

The Lipizzaner stallions.

The most highly trained horses
in the world. They're all white.

Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir..."

..you're aware they're all white
or, "Yes, sir," you've seen them?

Yes, sir, I've seen them.

Yes, sir, I'm aware
that they're all white.

They're not from Portugal.
They're from Spain.

And at birth, they're not white...
they're black.

Sir.

I didn't know that...
..but they are from Portugal.

Come on, Vossler. Come on.
Yes! Yes!

Come on. Come on. You got it.

Some of the things they do, uh...
..defy belief.

Their training program
is simplicity itself.

You just stick a cattle prod
up their ass

and you can get a horse
to deal cards.

Simple matter of voltage.

You're gonna get it. Come on.

CRACKLES,
GLITCHING

I almost had it. You saw it.

Conn, Weapons.

Russian missiles will have
launch capability in four minutes.

There you go. There you go!
Aw, shit!

Look, look, look! Look at it,
Vossler! There we go. There we go!

Yes!
BEEPS

Conn, Radio.
We are receiving flash traffic.

'Emergency action message.
Recommend alert one.

'Recommend alert one.' Fuck, yeah!

Alert one. Alert one.
Dougherty, Westergaurd, Zimmer.

Get that EAM.
BOTH: Aye, aye, sir.

God help you if you're wrong.

If I'm wrong, then we're at war.

God help us all.

Sir, we have a properly formatted
emergency action message

from the National
Command Authority, sir.

Request permission
to authenticate, sir.

Permission granted. Authenticate.

"Delta, Delta, Sierra,
Bravo, Zulu, Delta, Tango."

"Delta, Delta, Sierra,
Bravo, Zulu, Delta, Tango."

Message is authentic, Captain.
I concur, sir.

I concur, sir.
Message is authentic.

1 MC.

Crew of the Alabama...
this is the captain.

Set condition 2SQ.

Terminate launch, all missiles.

CHEERS

All right! All right!

Mr Hunter has the conn.

In the early hours of this morning,
Russian Army forces moved in

and met surprisingly
little resistance.

There were some sporadic battles,

but, apparently, the spectre
of fighting their countrymen...

proved too much
for these rebel troops,

and they surrendered quickly.

And so a crisis
that seemed to be escalating

beyond the point of no return
was ultimately resolved

with fewer
than a hundred soldiers dead.

And the nuclear base
captured by Radchenko

is now back in government hands.

Reporting live from
the French aircraft carrier, Foch,

in the Mediterranean Sea...
this is Richard Valeriani for CNN.

All right, stand there, uh,
Lieutenant Commander Hunter.

This won't take long.

This panel has convened in order
to investigate the events

subsequent to the setting
of condition 1 SQ

for strategic missile launch...

on board the USS Alabama
on 1 November.

Now, based on the testimony from
personnel on board the Alabama...

and, in no small measure,
to that of the senior officer,

Captain Ramsey,

I'm prepared to make
my recommendations to SUBPAC.

Without my testimony, sir?
You have a problem with that?

I might, sir.

I have known Captain Ramsey
for almost 30 years.

We served together
on more than a few occasions.

If he is lying, this will be
the first I've heard of it.

Yes, sir.

My primary concern here
is the breakdown in the system.

In this instance, the system failed
because the two senior officers

did not work
to resolve their differences...

while preserving
the chain of command.

Now, you may have been proven right,
Mr Hunter,

but insofar as the letter
of the law is concerned...

you were both right.

And you were also both wrong.

This is the dilemma that will occupy
this panel, this Navy...

..and this country's armed forces
as a whole...

long after you leave this room.

Off the record...

you've both created
one hell of a mess.

A mutiny aboard
a United States nuclear submarine.

Violation...
of nuclear launch protocol.

For the record, it is
the conclusion of this panel...

that your actions
aboard the Alabama...

were consistent with
the best traditions of the Navy

and in the interests
of the United States.

As such, the recommendations
of this panel will be to accept...

in a manner reflective
of his long and dedicated service

to his country...

..Captain Ramsey's request for
early retirement from active duty...

..and based, in no small part, on
Captain Ramsey's recommendation...

..that Lieutenant Commander Hunter
be given his next command

at the earliest possible
convenience.

Unless, of course, you wish
to challenge these recommendations.

No, sir.

Captain Ramsey?
No, sir.

Dismissed.

Captain?

Just wanted to say thank you.

You were right, and I was wrong.

About the horses, the Lipizzaners.
They are from Spain, not Portugal.

Yes, sir.
