SCREAMING

METAL CREAKING LOUDLY

CRASH

SCREAMING CONTINUES

LOUD GASP

SCREAMING STOPS

I fell into a mass of people.

Everything I touched seemed to be... women's hair.

Children crying...

..women screaming.

Their hair in my face.

My God, if only I could forget those hands and faces.

He told me that, apparently, we'd struck something.

BELL DINGS

Iceberg, dead ahead!

LOUD CRASH ALARM RINGS

I didn't become alarmed.

There was no danger, they said.

MORSE CODE BEEPS

I told her to come at once.

We were sinking.

Can you imagine the chaos and the fear and the terror

of finding water in your cabin,

and you're in the bowels of the ship?

It makes me panic, just thinking about it.

The story of the Titanic is the human condition spread out,

pinned on a board for us to examine.

Then came the terrible cry, "Women and children,

"women and children."

Two men lifted me up and put me in a boat.

It's these small decisions, these little butterfly-effect moments

that change the outcome.

GUNSHOT

It really was every man for himself.

SHOUTING LOUD CRASH

My heart stood still.

Pull!

If we're going to die...

LOUD CREAKING SCREAMING

..best to die gripping something.

It's a split-second decision.

What would you do? What would I do?

MUFFLED SCREAMING

It was a terrible sight.

Men swimmin' and sinkin'.

DISTANT SCREAMING

I'd been brought up to believe in a hell...

..after death.

But now I think I went through a hell that night.

The last word in luxury.

The ship - palatial.

The food - delicious.

The rudder alone weighed 100 tonnes.

I sailed first-class from Southampton.

We called at Cherbourg and, from there, to Queenstown.

Everyone was counting the days till we'd see

the Statue of Liberty.

My father and mother were invited to dinner that night,

so I dined alone.

Afterward, I took a few turns around the deck.

Being 17 years old, I was all over the ship.

The Titanic is a ship of dreams.

The epitome of modern technology,

of luxury and opulence.

It looks like a cross between The Ritz

and an English grand country house.

Titanic was the showpiece for the shipping line.

Built by Harland & Wolff,

the famous shipyard in Belfast.

She is absolutely huge - ten decks, 840 cabins.

An absolute masterpiece of human engineering.

I was afraid of the sea.

Please turn.

But Harvey, my husband,

and our eight-year-old daughter, Majorie, and I decided

to go to America that way.

The first few days, I was a bit seasick

and kept to my cabin most of the time,

but on Sunday, April 14th,

I was up and about.

After I'd eaten, I listened to the orchestra for a little while,

then I went back to my cabin.

There was no moon.

A brilliant starry night.

I'd never seen the sea smoother.

It had become much colder.

It was indeed a night for bed,

warmth and cosy thoughts.

How good it was to be in my bunk at last, devouring magazines.

At 23, I was the youngest stewardess on the ship.

I was enjoying the trip tremendously.

The first three days were... very calm.

We were another three days before we would reach New York.

It was a pleasure to go to bed.

My pretty little cabin,

with its electric heater and pink curtains.

I hadn't meant to sail on the Titanic.

Urgent business in New York forced me to take

the first available boat.

But everything aboard this lovely ship reassured me.

It's a Sunday.

First-class passengers have probably spent the day enjoying themselves.

They had eaten roast duckling and sirloin of beef

and foie gras and truffles and lamb with mint sauce

and stuffed zucchini and chocolate eclairs.

Maybe they've gone to the sauna in the Turkish baths

or they've played a round of squash

or gone to the gym.

Perhaps the men had gone to the smoking room,

they'd had a cigar, a pipe, they'd played a round of cards.

Maybe the women had gone to the reading and writing room

to have a moment of quiet.

They've had a joyful, relaxing day.

They're full of anticipation that they're going to be arriving

in New York in two or three days' time.

It's been the perfect day.

IRISH DANCING MUSIC PLAYS

My name is Celiney Yasbeck.

My husband and I were on our way to America

to make our home.

He had been to America before, where he had a business.

It's a misconception that Titanic was first and foremost

a luxury ship.

Titanic was primarily an emigrant ship,

and it was to ferry people, working people,

from Europe to America.

About three quarters of the Titanic's passengers

are in second or third-class,

and it's really not surprising that people did not want to go to bed.

This might be the first time they've been away from home.

And maybe it's the first taste of freedom

from very oppressive environments.

They are young people embarking on a new life to a new world.

It would have been wonderful.

I was a bride of 50 days.

By collating all of these memories from different parts of the ship -

memories that could easily have been lost to history -

that's the way in.

That's how we understand the story of the Titanic.

LAUGHTER INDISTINCT CHATTER

Need more in the back!

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

I joined her in Belfast,

while she was still in the builders' hands.

The biggest and finest ship in the world.

On that night of April 14th,

the First Officer took over from me.

We both remarked on the ship's steadiness,

how comfortably she was slipping along.

We knew perfectly well we were entering the region

where ice might be sighted

and had taken precautions.

As none of these bergs lay on our course, well...

..they didn't directly concern us.

I passed on the course, speed, weather conditions,

wished him joy of a few perishing cold hours, and went below.

It doesn't matter whether it's a ship,

all the way down to a section of Marines, in my circumstance.

There is a system in command structure.

Everyone had a job to do,

and this is the point where the ship just begins to tick over.

The navigation crew that are at the top of the ship

are settling into their evening routine.

The engineers that are down in the boiler room

are working on a four-hour shift to just keep the ship moving.

The Captain is retired to his cabin, comfortable that his crew,

that ultimately have been at work since the ship left Belfast,

are very much in control.

Really, it's the beginning of what should be another

calm night on the Titanic.

DISTANT MORSE CODE BEEPS

I joined the Marconi staff last July,

and was transferred to the Titanic at Belfast.

I didn't have much to do aboard, except to relieve Phillips,

the Senior Operator.

CLOCK TICKS MORSE CODE CONTINUES

I went to bed.

I was conscious of waking up

and hearing Phillips sending telegrams.

From leaving Southampton,

we'd got through about 250 telegrams.

BEEPING

It's a tense situation in the wireless room

because the equipment broke down the day before.

And so he's got this great backlog of work to do.

And he's focused on it, he's concentrating on it.

The last thing he wants is new information coming in.

It came out that vital messages received in

the wireless room that night

had never been delivered to the bridge.

Warning all ships of heavy ice in an area

right ahead of the Titanic.

And what was still worse... not far away.

Lightoller is trying to say,

"I knew this was important.

"It should have gone to the bridge, and it didn't,

"and it's the wireless operator's fault."

But that's not true because the message didn't have

the crucial prefix of MSG - Master Service Gram -

which would have meant that Jack Phillips would

immediately have prioritised it and sent it up to the bridge.

That didn't happen.

We had this unique opportunity to understand the sinking of

the Titanic from the perspective of those who were actually there.

We're starting to piece things together,

but we're working with people's memories.

In reality, memories are going to distort.

And there might be a bit of a bias where people will try and

make sense of what was going on.

There are people who will deliberately distort and mislead.

But mostly, you know, it's just that

people do remember things differently.

You're not looking for the stone-cold truths.

We need to bring together all of those memories,

see what seems to be consistent through it all,

but also to recognise that every individual has

a different experience, and we have to respect that.

Frederick Fleet, Sailor, Look Out Man,

Southampton, England.

25 next October.

A ship or anything.

Watch was nearly over.

I had done the best part of two hours.

It was not very large when I first saw it.

A black mass.

It kept getting larger as we were getting nearer it.

BELL DINGS THREE TIMES

I was Fourth Officer.

I was just coming along the deck

and almost abreast of the Captain's Quarters

when I heard the report of three bells.

RINGING ECHOES

That signifies something's been seen ahead.

I struck three bells first, then I went straight to the telephone...

- PHONE RINGS - ..and rang them up on the bridge.

- ECHOES: - Iceberg, dead ahead!

Then I heard the First Officer give the order.

HE GIVES ORDER

The wheel was put to starboard.

She started to go to port whilst I was on the telephone.

My mate saw it and he told me

he could see the bow coming round.

OFF-CAMERA: They swung the ship's bow away from the object?

Yes.

Cos we were making straight for it.

What do you do if you trained at sea?

You try to avoid the obstacle.

It's a split-second decision - and there's just a cliche,

isn't there, in the way we talk about trying to turn the Titanic?

You can't turn this giant boat in time.

LOUD CRASH METAL CREAKING

CREAKING ECHOES

And a red light goes up, and the ship is supposed to stop.

ALARM RINGS

This red light came up.

- ECHOING: - Shut all dampers!

And I'm the man in charge of the watch, so I shouted

"shut all dampers" to shut the wind off the fires.

Shut all dampers!

Shut all dampers!

LOUD CREAKING ALARM CONTINUES

The crash came before we had them all shut.

I didn't even feel the shock.

I hardly knew it had happened.

There was no jolt whatsoever.

I was about to step into bed when I seemed to sway slightly.

If I'd had a brim-full glass of water in my hand,

not a drop would have spilled.

METAL GROANING LOUD THUD

I was soon awakened by a long...

..grinding shock.

METAL GROANING CONTINUES

IMPACT ECHOES

There was a backward jerk,

followed by a shorter one.

And the ship started to back, like a train.

LOUD METAL SCRAPING ECHOES

Then, er...

..a low...

..crunching, ripping sound...

LOUD SCRAPING CONTINUES

..as Titanic shivered.

SCRAPING GROWS LOUDER

I was fast asleep.

LOUD IMPACT

Almost threw me off the bed.

METAL CREAKING ECHOES

Suddenly, I heard a tremendous noise.

IMPACT ECHOES

Immediately, I knew the ship had been hit hard.

When we were alongside it, it was...

..a bit higher than the forecast led.

Like, 50 feet, I should say.

OFF-CAMERA: Was there much of a jar to the ship?

No.

Just a slight grinding noise.

Did it alarm you when it struck?

I thought it was a narrow shave.

You thought it was a narrow shave?

Yes.

You know, up on the top deck, people are thinking to themselves,

"Oh! That was close, but we got away with it."

You know, it's just a near miss that somebody writes down in a log.

But they don't know that this iceberg had a very large section

jutting out of it underneath the water.

ALARM RINGS

LOUD CRASHING METAL CREAKING

Water came pouring in,

about two feet from where I was standing.

The shipside was torn...

..from the third stock hold to the forward end.

METAL CLANGING AND CREAKING

Open the door!

The doors dropped instantly, automatically.

Hurry up!

We got through into the next section.

And then the watertight compartment closed up.

LOUD METAL IMPACT

As the iceberg strikes, the rivets give way.

And the water starts pouring into Boiler Room Number 6 -

that's on the starboard side of the ship.

But Titanic is designed to have watertight compartments

in the event of an emergency.

There's 16 compartments,

and they'd always do what they're supposed to do -

come down, seal off the compartments

and protect the rest of the ship.

Fred Barrett and his boys escape this wall of water.

At the moment, they are safe.

But the thing about the Titanic is

nobody had thought to put in a direct communication system

between the boiler rooms - which could flood -

and the bridge.

But, equally, it's not just a case of sending somebody up quickly.

A lowly boiler operator or a stoker goes up

and tells the Captain what's happened.

There is a chain of command.

So there was no way that Fred Barrett could tell the Captain

straight away what was happening,

and that lost time.

Mr Murdoch, the First Officer, said,

"We have struck an iceberg.

- ECHOING: - ..hard to starboard, but it was too close...

"I put her hard to starboard but it was too close, she hit it."

He also said, "I intended to port around it,

"but she hit before I could do any more."

Show me.

We walked out onto the bridge

to take a look at the iceberg.

It seemed to be a small black mass,

not rising very high out of the water.

The ship was past it then.

It couldn't have extended, er, above the ship's rail.

Captain Smith, the Captain of the Titanic,

was a very experienced seaman,

a very highly-respected seaman.

He'd served in the Royal Naval Reserve,

as well as in the Merchant Navy.

He was coming to the end of his career,

and he must have been very, very proud that he was taking Titanic,

this world-beating ship, across the Atlantic,

and that would be a wonderful end to what was a glittering career.

And, suddenly, of course, there's a collision.

It's the last thing you want.

He would have been annoyed,

as well as keen, to solve the problem

as quickly as he could.

The engine stopped.

The sudden quiet was... disturbing.

ENGINE WINDS DOWN

SILENCE

When there's that sudden cut of the engines,

it's going to be really noticeable.

Something's going on, something's not right,

something's not as it should be.

I lay still.

I waited for Ann, my cabin mate, to speak for...

..I knew she was awake.

I looked over the side of my bunk at her,

and she returned by saying, in her calm way,

"Sounds as if something has happened."

Passengers were really left in the dark.

There was no tannoy system or announcement of what was going on,

of what to do.

They had to work it out themselves.

MUFFLED FOOTSTEPS

I could hear the footsteps of people on the deck above my head.

FOOTSTEPS CONTINUE

And there was some stamping and queer noises,

as though the ship's tackle was being pulled about.

My husband said there must have been some slight accident

in the engine room.

He put on his coat and left me.

DOOR SHUTS

Different people will react to the situation in different ways,

but a number of passengers have no qualms at all about going up

onto the boat deck and finding someone to enquire what's going on.

It was bitterly cold.

I moved around the deck, trying to discover what had happened.

Have you seen any of the officers?

There were quite a few people standing around,

questioning each other in a dazed kind of way.

There were many prominent people on the passenger list -

and, because it was her maiden voyage,

those responsible for building the ship.

Tommy Andrews.

Designer for Harland & Wolff.

He was respected by everyone.

A great ship-builder and a real gentleman.

A perfectionist.

Thomas Andrews was a highly-respected -

in fact, probably the most respected - ship designer

in the UK at this time.

Titanic was the pinnacle of Andrews' career.

He'd been building up to this moment,

this amazing liner that was going to win all these different prizes,

that was the Queen of the Seas, really.

He knew a great deal about ship design.

He understood buoyancy, stability, all of these issues.

She's got 16 watertight compartments -

that's far more than most of the liners that were steeling around.

And of those 16, four of them could be flooded,

and the ship was still stable and would stay afloat.

And that's why Titanic had been billed as an unsinkable ship.

She was a fabricated steel vessel...

..of gigantic dimensions.

We're just under precaution now.

Just making a few checks,

and we'll be on our way to New York.

Please...

She was a wonderfully safe vessel.

Oh, Mr Andrews.

It's just... It's just precautionary...

In answer to many questions,

Mr Andrews assured everybody that we were absolutely safe.

..checking a few things, and then we'll be on our way to New York...

She would stay afloat indefinitely.

- ECHOING: - The ship is unsinkable.

- Sit tight. - Thank you so much.

This one man had a piece of ice.

And I took it out of his hands,

wondering where he'd got it from,

I tried to make him understand that there was nothing the matter.

"Go down to bed and go to sleep again."

I-I didn't take it very seriously.

After what seemed a few moments, my husband returned, and...

..and he was quite excited.

He exclaimed,

"We have struck an iceberg, a big one.

"But there's no danger, an officer just told me so."

This story reassured me.

If these people weren't worried,

why should I be?

In that particular time, we know, in England, certainly,

there's a strong, very hierarchical class system.

Getting the message from authority figures that everything's OK,

even though the ship is stationary, and they're out at sea,

and it's dark and it's cold -

for most people, that's enough.

There had been an accident, a collision -

and yet there was a sense of complacency

rather than a sense of urgency

to discover what exactly has gone wrong.

Thomas Andrews was saying to people, "Everything's fine, it's all safe,"

when he didn't have any data about what the damage to the ship was.

And that was not a clever thing to do.

LOUD SCRAPING

There are eight firemen in the Number 6 section.

The second engineer shouted, "All hands, stand by your stations."

That's for the men to stand by the fires.

For Fred Barrett and his crew,

they need to manage the fire in Boiler Room 6.

And he's worried that there's going to be a minor explosion

because the freezing water is hitting the hot coals.

Fred Barrett is in the boiler room next door,

and the only way to assess the damage is to climb out

of Boiler Room 5 to this overhead gangway

that's above Boiler Room 6.

We went up an escape and down to the boiler room.

But... we couldn't get in.

There was eight feet of water in it.

When he tries to get back down into Boiler Room 6, he can't

because there's eight feet of water in there

and the whole place is already filled with steam.

But I think, when Fred Barrett saw the situation,

he would've been still feeling that everything could be contained.

You know, this is how the ship was sold to passengers and crew alike.

Captain Smith looked at the inclinometer,

which is a sort of spirit-level type gauge which shows

whether the ship is stable or not,

and realised there was a five-degree list in the ship to starboard.

- ECHOING: - We're taking on water.

Captain Smith knows that, probably, there's water.

The problem is, where is this water coming from

and what the hell is going on?

The Titanic, of course, was a massive ship

with a huge number of compartments.

Therefore, finding out what's happened is a difficult

and complex task

because the ability to communicate between parts of the ship

was very, very poor indeed.

Therefore, you have to send a person, a runner,

to go down and look and then come all the way back to the bridge

to tell you what on earth is going on.

I went right down below...

..into the lowest steerage, as far as I could go without going into

the cargo portion of the ship.

And I inspected all the decks as I came up in the vicinity

where I thought she'd struck.

I couldn't hear any noise.

I couldn't see any damage.

Remember, the mindset is, this ship is unsinkable.

If you believe a ship is unsinkable,

you're not looking for trouble.

Imagine it - wandering about this vast ship,

looking for water.

He's not going to find it because he doesn't go down

to the boiler rooms.

I boarded Titanic in Queenstown.

I'm 21 years old, I wanted to come to America to make some money.

There were three other boys from the same place

sleeping in the same room with me.

I jumped on the floor.

The first thing I knew, my feet were getting wet.

I told the other fellas to get up, that there was something wrong.

- ECHOING: - Get back to bed.

They only laughed.

One of them says, "Get back to bed, you're not in Ireland now."

"Go back to bed, Daniel."

I really understand where that voice is coming from.

Something that I hear from immigrants nowadays is this belief

that you've entered a world of order and protection,

and security, so you don't have to worry about anything.

This is the safest ship in the world that's ever been built,

but it's so wrong in this context.

I turned on the light...

..and, to my surprise, there was a stream of water

running along the floor.

The fact that water was seen on the deck at the level

where Daniel Buckley had a cabin would seem to indicate

that a second watertight compartment had actually gone,

as well as the boiler room,

and that water was rising up the bulkhead in that compartment.

And that, of course, is extremely worrying.

But who exactly knew that is a different issue.

Absolutely out of breath, and he said,

"She's evidently making water fast.

"Number one tarpaulin is ballooning.

"Go tell the Captain."

At last, Boxhall gets himself some concrete information.

The carpenter he meets is talking about one of the tarpaulins

upon G Deck that's covering a cargo hold.

The air in there is being pushed out at speed, at pressure,

by the volume of water coming in.

In the cargo hold, there's all the passengers' luggage,

there's goods that are being shipped from companies across the Atlantic.

There's a Renault car all boxed up,

belonging to one of the first-class passengers.

There's cases of feather boas.

There's all kinds of crazy things in there,

but it is the entirety of everyone's possessions.

Then, on his way to investigate,

Boxhall gets some more news.

I met the mail clerk coming up...

..and he said, "Mr Boxhall, the mail room is filling."

Captain Smith!

I got back to the boat deck, and I saw the Captain.

The mail room is filing, sir!

And I said, "The mail room is filling, sir."

OFF-CAMERA: What did he say?

He walked away and left me.

He went off the bridge, as far as I remember.

He didn't say anything to you?

No.

The Captain goes down to inspect,

accompanied by Thomas Andrews.

Here, they can see with their own eyes

the mail room has been flooded,

and that means another compartment is gone.

The Titanic was a ship designed to carry mail from Great Britain,

and there were about 3,500 sacks of mail on board.

Already, these mail bags are beginning to float away,

the mail clerks have tried to salvage some of them,

but they can't because the water is everywhere.

This doesn't look good for Rule Britannia.

Seeing the speed with which the water levels were rising

must have been quite a sobering moment for both of them.

And, of course, this was not what the Captain had hoped would be

his final crowning glory in command of this splendid ship.

This was going to be the ultimate test for him.

He was going to have to prove himself as the sort of captain

that he thought he was

and that other people thought he was.

But then the situation gets worse.

The Captain learns that a third compartment is flooded.

The Captain knows that this is a terrible circumstance -

but, equally, Titanic was built to endure that.

There's 16 compartments - four of them could be fully flooded,

and the ship was still stable and wouldn't sink.

If another one, a fifth compartment, started to be flooded,

then that changed the equation completely.

The Captain is sitting right at the moment of

what is known as Event Horizon.

You know, once you tip over that precipice,

the ship is going to sink.

Any captain worth their salt is ultimately going to

prepare for the worst

and, actually, not even expect the best.

You have to be preparing for things to continue to worsen.

Then came the order to clear the lifeboats.

There was a frightful noise of escaping steam.

STEAM HISSES

Many first-class passengers report this unearthly scream

that comes out of the funnels.

It's the steam which has been diverted from the engines,

now emerging from the funnels.

LOUD HISSING CONTINUES

For those who have their rooms closest to the boat deck,

suddenly, this is very alarming indeed.

It's a moment where they realise that things are not as they should

be and maybe they should be worrying.

I was uneasy.

I rushed to my husband.

"Go up on deck and see what has happened."

He got out of his bed rather unwillingly.

CONCERNED CHATTER HISSING CONTINUES

On board the Titanic, in first-class,

are American millionaires.

There are people like Colonel John Jacob Astor IV,

who is an American business magnate.

He's one of the richest men in the world.

And Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon sees Astor stride over to Captain Smith

and have a private little word with him.

I would advise you to go and put your family into the lifeboats...

The first-class passengers know Captain Smith,

they are able to mix with the senior crew.

They have exclusive access.

It means that they're part of the inner circle

and other people are not.

From the get-go, first-class passengers are in a kind of

chumocracy with the senior crew,

and that means that they get the information immediately

when others don't.

They have a distinct advantage from the word go.

What has he said?

It would appear that we are to vacate the ship.

My husband was back, looking rather grave.

"I've been up to the bridge and I've seen Colonel Astor," he said.

"He told me that he was going to ask his wife to dress,

"and I think you'd better do the same."

I hurriedly put on the warmest clothes I could find.

As I was dressing, my secretary, Mrs Francatelli,

came into the room very agitated.

I woke up of my own accord.

I'd promised to relieve Phillips earlier than usual.

I asked him how he was getting on.

I think we've struck something.

I felt the ship tremble...

He told me that he'd felt the ship tremble and stop.

He thought she'd got damaged in some way.

Suddenly, the Captain put his head in the cabin.

We've struck an iceberg.

"We've struck an iceberg," the Captain said,

"and I'm having an inspection made to tell what it's done.

"You'd better get ready to send a call for assistance..."

But don't send it until I tell you.

"but don't send it until I tell you."

The Captain went away, Phillips resumed the phones.

LOUD HISSING CONTINUES

Because there's no instant communications between

large parts of the ship,

Captain Smith and others still did not know fully

what the damage was to the ship.

During his inspection, Andrews must have learnt that

a fourth compartment had flooded.

But problems in the boiler room

he was still completely unaware of.

When Andrews went down into the boiler room, he was horrified,

horror-struck.

Water was rising, and it was rising in spaces that

they had not realised it would be in.

Earlier on, Andrews had said about Titanic that she was

nearly as perfect as human brains could achieve.

He'd put all of his knowledge into Titanic to make her

as safe as she could be.

But, unfortunately, the ship was doomed.

You're now at a point where it's mathematically certain

that this ship is going to sink.

Now that the front five compartments are flooded,

the water will start pouring over the top of the bulkheads.

Picture an ice tray - you start filling it at one end

and, eventually, it will rise up over the line,

and the next compartment and the next compartment,

and it just continues to fill and fill.

And that is ultimately what is going to draw this ship

to the bottom of the ocean.

My husband and I jumped up and ran out

to see what had happened.

We were still wearing our night clothes.

I can imagine them in my mind, middle of the night, they wake up,

and then, suddenly, there's the terror of finding water,

and you're in the bowels of the ship.

You are not being told anything, there's no announcements.

You're left to work out what's going on

and how that impacts on your own safety.

It's such a jarring break from this very beautiful experience

I think they must have been having up until this point.

We walked around to the port-side...

..and the ship had then a fair list.

We stayed there looking over the side for about five minutes.

The list seemed very slowly to be increasing.

Thomas Andrews was seen by another passenger running up to the bridge

with a look of terror on his face.

There's no doubt he realised for the first time,

"My God, we can't save the ship."

His unsinkable ship was going to sink.

I saw the Captain.

It was then I realised it was serious.

The Captain looked over.

He said, "We are sinking."

ECHOING: It's just precautionary.

Suddenly, orders came down.

"Everybody to the boats."

We sent an urgent distress call

and said we were sinking by the head.

Women and children only. That's women and children only...

If you are a family, you will be separated.

Nobody's telling anybody what's going on.
