Sergey Garmash

Julia? I'll start now.

THE ARCTIC. NEAR THE NORTH POLE.

Can you hear me?

We use double the load.

We evaluate the results and repeat the experiment.

Stop your work! A storm is coming!

Return to camp immediately!

Can you hear me, Julia? Julia!

Oscar!

Station eight to the control room:

turbines coupled. Ahead at 80 revolutions.

The geologists are blowing everything up again.

They never calm down either. They have already chased away all living creatures.

- Nothing but trouble... - The commander enters the control room.

CP 25 to control room: All systems are working properly.

Commander, our submarine

Ataman Yermak is on covert patrol in neutral waters.

Today is day 83 of our autonomous operation.

Course 38 degrees, depth 300 meters.

Otherwise there are no boats nearby.

Navigator, how deep are we?

- 2000 meters, commander. - To the base?

900 kilometers.

- Palych? - What is it?

Come over here.

What is it, Kartenko?

We receive an intense noise in front of us.

- The intensity gets stronger... - Commander?

The sea floor is rising.

We have to get out of here! Go!

We have to get out of here, Julia!

Get out of there!

- Come on, get out of here! Out! - Okay.

Now jump on!

- Sonar, identify the contact! - Got it, commander!

Depth confirmed at 270.

- Biological origin. - Let's find out how far away it is.

- Prepare sonar! - Sonar is ready!

- Send ping! - Distance: 15 cables.

The distance decreases!

Understood! Hard to port!

Initiate evasive maneuvers immediately!

Initiate evasive maneuvers immediately!

What happens to the camp?

Hold on, Julia!

Torpedo tubes one and two on standby.

- Rate 420, we keep sinking. - I can't identify it.

Rudder to the surfaces, turbines at 200!

520, the submarine continues to sink!

We can't waste any more time!

We are sinking deeper and deeper!

We have to use the cells. Empty compressed air, immediately!

Submarine sinks deeper, the systems fail.

Fire the emergency buoy!

SAINT PETERSBURG HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUSSIAN NAVY

- What happened after that? - Just silence.

But how is that possible?

How can one of our most advanced submarines disappear?

- Commander-in-chief, there is... - I know what was there.

What is your suggestion?

In that case, I recommend using the special submarine.

SEWEROMORSK, MURMANSK REGION

Voronin will take command of the Zapolyareye.

- Commander in Chief... - You heard me.

- Bring him here. I know. - His brother is the commander of the Yermak.

That's why he's perfect.

Whether his feelings help him or get in the way...

Nobody knows that.

I want Olshanksy to receive command authority.

Give him all authority.

- The wolfhound is here. - The quicker he should get there.

If necessary, he should give Voronin a hand.

Even if he has to take command.

And something else.

In case...

In the event that we lose our secret submarine,

we must either recover the top secret weapon on board or...

completely destroy it.

This weapon must not fall into the wrong hands.

Under no circumstances.

20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA.

Vitya, I don't understand.

Is it that urgent?

- Looks like this. - But you're on vacation right now.

- Not anymore. - Uncle Vitya, look!

I painted your siskin.

Very nice, you painted that very well, my little one.

- We should go. We're late. - There is still time.

Just a moment more.

How is my brother?

He has been at sea for three months. We have to go.

Mom...

I would like to ask you something.

Why does Sasha look like a sailor in every photo?

Why does he wear his uniform everywhere and I don't?

Mama?

I just like it. And honestly, I think

normal clothes look better on you.

You have magical hands. You should have been a doctor.

You should finally reconcile with your brother.

How is that doable? He's always at sea.

Please take dad's old watch with you.

Sasha, forgot about her.

Wait until he comes back.

But that's bad luck.

Dad never went out without her.

Vitya, I have a bad feeling about this.

Take it, do me a favor.

SAPADNAJA LIZA, MURMANSK REGION

This has to be faster, go go go! Hurry up, people!

Good evening, commander!

I'm reporting for duty. I am Voronin, captain second...

No reason to shout like that. Hello, Vitya.

Hello, Uncle Slava.

Why aren't you on board?

The commander goes on board first.

This will be your effort.

Open the commands first when you are at sea.

- Bring this to my cabin. - Yes, commander.

Something serious must have happened.

And you arrive here with a bird.

Then welcome aboard, Rear Admiral.

Attention!

Stir.

- Commander, I greet you! - Good evening.

The submarine is prepared during the dive.

I am First Officer Tatarinov.

- Hello. - Hello, Vitya. And that one?

He should probably see to it that everything is right.

The old top dog really scares you.

Something like that. He served under my father.

We used to be very close.

Get to work.

- Good evening, commander! - Good evening!

Good evening.

Well, how do you like that?

You've probably never been to a Minke whale like this before.

Yes, in something similar.

Yes, but this can go down to 1500 meters.

Let it down. He suffers from fear of heights.

Would you like to take a look?

It's already full enough without me.

Hey, what's wrong, Karas?

What are you waiting for? Should I do this myself?

Go go!

Don't be shy! Step up your game!

Gently, gently!

We don't want to damage the good piece!

Attention! The commander enters the checkpoint!

- Stir. - The nuclear reactor is running at 20%.

All mechanical systems are running normally.

Can I speak openly? I know that orders are not to be questioned.

But why was I taken from my vacation?

That was an order from above.

You'll find out soon enough.

Attention! The rear admiral enters the checkpoint.

So...

What's the report?

Forget it.

There's no point anymore!

There isn't a soul anywhere here.

Oscar, I have something!

I have a signal!

Julia! Caution!

You have to be more careful!

- Oh my God. - Where are we here?

Where did the signal go? Where is it?!

There it is! I have reception again!

Call her, quickly!

NORWEGIAN OIL RIG

- Hello? - Mayday! Mayday!

Hello? Can you hear me? Hello?

- Leave me alone, okay? - Hey! Turn that down!

Please repeat.

The reception is bad. Be careful or you'll fall down.

I can't get far in this storm. Turn off this noise immediately!

Hello?

What? Do we no longer have reception? Oh my God!

Hello?

Hello? We need help!

Hello? Damn!

Damn!

Reception is gone!

The storm is too strong. Now come on!

Come on.

Oscar! Get back up. Come on!

We have to move on, let's go! We have to keep looking for help!

Boatswain, 30 degrees starboard,

heading 120. Prepare to dive.

Turbines half power ahead.

What is it, Vitya?

Although you are now commander, but you're still grinning like a cadet.

Yes, it's high time to submerge, rear admiral.

15 more cables to the diving point.

Get everyone ready to dive.

Get everyone ready to dive.

Get everyone ready to dive.

Course 358, traveling ten knots.

No acoustic contacts within range.

Get ready to dive.

All systems are running properly. Diving process can be initiated.

Blow out main tanks.

Boatswain, descend to 500 meters, bow down five degrees.

Got it, 500 meters down, bow down five degrees.

Control room, station one reports: Everything is clear.

- Hold at 50 meters. - Understood. Stop at 50 meters.

Time to look at our orders, Rear Admiral.

Control room, station one reports:

Hydrogen content is at 1.5%. All values ​​within normal range.

All radio systems are running normally.

- And? Where are they sending us? - Read the lips.

The next transmission will follow in two hours.

All systems continue to operate normally. Speed ​​is maintained.

Navigator, set the course.

- Got it, course set. - Increase reactor power to 50%.

Understood.

- Turbines up to 150. - Got it.

New course 360 ​​port.

Everything clear so far?

Write down the new coordinates.

Understood. New course 360 ​​port.

Then the Yermak disappeared.

Listen, they better not lose their nerve.

Otherwise chaos will break out.

Course 350. Depth 100. Submarine continues to sink.

What do you mean, how much time do they have left?

Hold at 150 meters.

Are you bored?

Good morning, commander.

So then we agree. Just don't forget one thing, Shirokorad.

You will be the first to inform me about everything.

Can I go to my post?

Yes, you can.

You have already accepted responsibility, Admiral.

Vitya...

Although you are a commander, but that's just a formality.

We will both have to answer for ourselves. But I'm sure first.

Can we go even faster?

Impossible, we're already going at top speed.

The turbines are running at peak performance.

Look, here.

What could that possibly be?

Caution!

It could be dangerous.

It's an emergency buoy, I think.

Are you completely sure?

I spent four years on a submarine.

I'm absolutely sure, Julia.

That's Russian.

You know what? We should wait here.

Whether here or somewhere else... We'll freeze to death anyway!

Control room, station one. Have received signal.

Commander, we have a signal. Emergency buoy. Bearing is 65.

Control room, station seven. Everyone is in their place.

Boatswain...

- On starboard. Course 6-5. - Understood. Starboard, course 6-5.

Commander, something is wrong here.

We are surrounded.

What?

Surrounded by who?

They're just whales, Rear Admiral.

This is the first time I've seen her swimming towards a submarine.

- We continue diving to 210 meters. - Understood.

- Bow ten degrees down. - Understood.

Hopefully we don't scare them.

- Turbines down to 50. - Got it, turbines down to 50.

Afraid of fish?

Whales are mammals, Rear Admiral.

Something hit the propellers.

- Turbines to 150. - Got it.

Turn on sonar. They don't like that at all. Send a ping.

- Dangerous for her. - That's Greenpeace's job.

You can apply to them.

- As if they were afraid of something. - Or they want to warn us.

Nothing was damaged in our case.

Have sonar ready at low power. Will try that.

Full power would be better.

- We stay with a low impulse. - Sonar now runs at low power.

Send ping!

Understood.

Commander, they're coming back.

Increase performance!

Wait!

Apparently they've had enough.

Strange.

They swim away.

Commander, I'm detecting a low-frequency noise.

The signal is getting stronger and stronger.

The seabed is rising.

- What are you saying? - The bottom of the sea.

I can't clearly identify the noise.

It seems like it was coming from everywhere.

It's getting closer and closer.

We have to defend ourselves.

We don't know what it is.

I'm telling you. It's something hostile, we have to attack.

We don't know how it reacts.

Stop talking and do something, Vitya!

Boatswain, rise to 40 meters.

You're making a mistake.

- Do it! - Understood!

We're right under the ice.

Yes: Commander, we should start the diesel engine!

Navigator, is there cover anywhere?

Search is ongoing.

There is an ice channel in two miles.

- Head for the channel! - Understood!

- How fast are we right now? - At the moment very slow.

- We can't do it. - Have faith, okay?

- Turbines on 15. - Got it.

Boatswain, give it everything you've got!

Now come on, darling!

Listen, commander, there is an ice wall directly in front of us.

Stop the turbines!

- Turbines stopped. - Ten cables.

Eight cables.

Seven!

Men!

Six!

- Hold on tight! - Five, four...

Prepare for impact!

We're going to hit the ice!

Commander, the target is retreating.

Check all stations.

Report any system or device which has failed.

Station one reports no outages. Everything is working properly.

Check air connections and pool reserves.

What the hell was that, guys?

Boatswain?

No idea!

I can tell you what that was.

A gross violation of all applicable regulations.

Article 160 of the Code of the Sea states: When navigating

in icy conditions, the commander must do everything...

to prevent damage to the propellers,

rudders and hull of the submarine.

And what have you done?

First officer, damage report.

Depth 40, boat is stable.

Turbines were stopped.

Parts of the outer shell were damaged.

Control room at station four: Report any technical damage.

Has the buoy already sent out a signal?

I don't hear anything.

Bearing unchanged. She can hardly be heard.

- Set course towards signal. - Understood.

Break through the ice.

Look for a clear area of ​​water near the buoy.

Let's start with raising the submarine.

Check equipment and report damage!

Boat is on course.

Course on signal from the emergency buoy.

Boat sinks.

- Julia! - What?

Just look!

People!

I see people.

Open the hatch and roll out the ladder.

- Wait! - Why? You're here because of us!

Yes, exactly. It's clear that the Swedes sent us a Russian submarine.

- Hello! - Stop!

Step forward. Arms apart.

They're not one of us, Commander.

They are probably foreigners.

I would like you to check the outer shell for damage.

It concerns foreigners, civilians.

Commander, we didn't find anything except this flare gun.

It's not loaded.

Who are you?

I'm Julia Brown. And this is my colleague Oscar Lacombe.

We are participating in a geological expedition

Did you come alone?

Our camp was destroyed

Professor Brown and I found this and decided to wait.

Did you see anyone else?

No, just your submarine.

Search the area!

Understood.

- Hey! - Stop! They're from the military!

Stay back! No quick movements!

Commander! The antennas cannot be extended.

- No more radio possible. - Not at all anymore?

Unfortunately no.

Get ready to dive.

Koshkin.

What is your report?

No damage discovered. We only got a few scratches.

Get ready to dive.

Are they just going to leave us here like that?

You know, they have their orders.

Do you see that thing there? At the top of the boat?

I once controlled one of these too.

This is only used in extreme emergencies.

Do you see the one standing up there?

I think he's on our side.

I hope so anyway.

Could they be saboteurs? We can't take them on board.

We can leave them radios and supplies.

Then someone from their base can pick them up.

Who? Polar bears perhaps?

This is my last word.

Pull the ladder back up.

Move! Go in.

They are really going. We have to do something!

Do something!

Come! Come on, get up!

- Hey! Hey! - Hey! What are you doing?

You can't leave us here alone!

You have to help us!

Please help us! Hey!

That can't be true!

Bring them on board!

Officer! Officer!

I hold you solely responsible for this!

When we're back, there is no welcome party.

The prosecutor will wait for that.

Hey! Hey! Come here!

- We can go on board! Come! - Go go go!

- Hurry! Lower the ladder! - Yes, we're coming.

- Help them up! - Careful.

Thank you very much!

- Go go go go! - Hurry!

Thank God. Thank you very much!

- What? - Thank you very much!

Thanks!

If the buoy is here, the submarine can't be far.

But where is it exactly?

Search the area!

Understood.

New command: Break out of the ice and then dive to the maximum depth.

The radius is 25 miles.

Assume the position of the buoy as the center point.

This is the only way we can find the Yermak.

You will survive. Take your vitamins - and then relax.

Welcome aboard.

Bring the other one in.

You'll get something to eat right away.

You stay in the area, that we assign to you.

If you hear an alarm of 30 short beeps,

- then stay there. - Are you the commander?

No, I'm an officer, but you do as I say.

Of course, thank you very much.

RUSSIAN NAVY

- Commander? - Yes?

- She's one of us. - Who?

The woman. She is Russian.

What do you think?

That cracking sound. Do you hear that? Listen carefully.

We're diving.

Be careful. Ready?

I'll show you, okay?

We are a submarine. We're diving.

Only water around us. The pressure is increasing.

The torso compresses.

You understand. The deeper we go,

the deeper this line falls. That means...

Green means good. Yellow doesn't mean so good.

But if it actually goes into the red zone, then we...

..are on the ass.

Bon appetit.

- Thanks. - Do you speak Russian?

Yes, as a foreign language.

I am commander Viktor Voronin, I have a few questions for you.

We only speak to the highest ranking person.

It's me.

I am the commander of the entire submarine.

Make us tea and fish sandwiches.

- He's definitely in charge. - You're sure?

I'm quite sure.

I'm quite sure.

With salmon.

Again from the beginning. Who are you, and how did you end up in the ice?

I already said that.

We are part of a geological expedition.

Why do you speak Russian?

- I was born in Russia. - And where?

- What role does that have to play? - I'm asking the questions here. Where exactly?

In Omsk. But then we moved to Sweden.

Who is “we”?

Me and my parents. They were scientists.

In the 90s the Russians had no use for them.

They were very well known in Sweden.

- What do you mean it was them? - They died in a car accident a few years ago.

- Here's your smoked salmon. - Thanks.

And who is your friend?

He is my colleague.

Then your colleague. Who is that?

A Frenchman.

How come you were near the buoy?

Navigator, come to the officers' mess immediately with a map.

So, let's start again.

They were on the ice for a month.

They carried out a number of deep sea blastings,

and here. Correct?

Correct.

Something happened on the third day. The station was destroyed.

You sought help.

You found the buoy, here.

- And you stayed there. - Yes. Until you came.

Did you notice anything strange during that time?

Something that doesn't make sense?

The ice shook.

It was almost as if it was alive.

And that was definitely Wednesday and not Thursday?

I already said that.

Maybe you are confused.

You have come a long way.

It was cold. But we weren't imagining anything.

It was Wednesday.

How powerful was the explosive charge?

I have no idea. This is Oscar's specialty.

Then please ask him.

How powerful was the explosive charge?

That you used? Standard.

We used the standard charge for everything.

For certain?

Ida spoke to him, that he should double it.

Ida is who?

The leader of the expedition, Ida Larsen.

It was risky, but it was an order.

Was there a sudden change in the water after the explosion?

- Any strange particles? - No.

And your boyfriend?

I told you: He's not a friend, but a colleague.

All right, your colleague then.

He asks if anything changed in the water after the explosion?

No.

Thank you very much.

- Do you realize what you did, Julia? - What?

You said we blew up their submarine.

All of this sheds a whole new light on the situation.

We have to report this to naval command. Quickly!

We have no proof that it was destroyed.

And no proof that it is still in one piece.

We don't know what happened.

No signal, no knock, nothing.

Our mission is clear.

You have to think of more than the mission.

Just think of the consequences.

The leadership must be informed immediately

that there is an unknown object in this zone.

And that it is a threat!

We can't waste any time!

Since we can't extend the antennas, we can't raise an alarm,

and that's a disaster.

That's why we have to go to the base immediately and inform headquarters.

The sooner the better.

- Navigator? - Yes?

Head to the point, where the geologists' camp was.

- Immediately. - Understood.

- Commander, I have to... - What is it, Rear Admiral?

Let's talk openly. But in private.

I want you to listen to me carefully.

That was your second wrong decision.

The third one gets you out.

Yes?

May I speak with you?

Vitya, I don't know what's going on here.

They sent him here so he can monitor us, for all I care.

I understand that.

But he's constantly putting pressure on me. Nothing but pressure!

Of course I respect him.

But that's too much.

Stop it.

He stood in my father's shadow. He always struggled with that.

He ignored me.

Now he accuses me, that I experienced so many things.

Do you know what I believe?

Your brother...

Sasha did what he could.

My father said to expect the very worst.

He said that you always prepare...

Vitya, listen to me.

Don't worry obsessively. Talk to me.

- That's what I'm here for. - What should I talk about, Tyomych?

Sasha made my life hell.

He wanted to have me kicked out of the academy.

And at work he constantly threw obstacles in my way.

You know the stories. I thought that I could never forgive him.

But now...

I don't feel anything.

Except a big emptiness.

As if I had nothing left... Wouldn't feel anything at all.

Nothing at all.

If he's still alive...

then that clears it up.

He is your brother.

And if not, forgive him.

Vitya. Vitya!

According to what the geologists said, we have almost no time left.

- What does this mean? - It happened sooner than we thought.

We may have...

one more day, until they run out of air to breathe.

What was that?

The sonar.

You are looking for what's left of the submarine.

Commander, I hear a sound of biological origin from the side of the submarine.

The object is coming directly towards us.

Collision in less than three minutes.

Distance: Five more cables.

The thing is following us.

- Boatswain, hard starboard. - Understood.

Now turn to the right.

- Turbines at 100. - Got it, turbines at 100.

That's not good.

Could you stop this, you're scaring me? Please?

Better think positively.

Mishukov, Tarasyuk, look for cover in the ice.

Understood.

- So far the view is clear. - Keep an eye on everything!

- Switch on ice detection. To the maximum. - Understood.

Group of icebergs spotted, around 50 pieces starboard, distance 1.5 miles.

We'll hide behind the noise.

Boatswain, hard to starboard, heading 230.

Set course 230, turn boat starboard.

The Norwegian oil rig is right in front of us.

That's exactly what we were missing.

Ninety seconds.

Turbines at 80. All systems are running normally.

Got it. Over.

The alarm has been triggered. Come on. We should check the horizon.

The Norwegians have sent a signal.

My congratulations. We were discovered.

By a Norwegian oil rig.

The target has changed direction.

We've lost the target now, Commander.

- Boat at periscope depth! - Understood.

- Trim angle three degrees. - Understood.

- Turbines on 20. - Got it, turbines on 20.

Gas meter has triggered an alarm.

Depth 25 meters, boat continues to rise.

Depth 15 meters. Boat continues to rise.

Oh god...

Alert! Alarm! Alarm! To all stations!

Post three reports a huge, unknown object in front of the oil rig!

I repeat, post three reports a huge, unknown...

A large object has appeared in front of the oil rig.

- It looks like an attack! - Extend the periscope!

Route the signal to the main station.

What the hell is that?

Oh shit.

It's coming straight at us!

Bearing 300!

- Crash diving, immediately! - Crash diving initiated!

Retract the periscope! Down to 100 immediately!

- Trim angle 13 degrees. - Trim angle 13 degrees.

- Course 160. Turbines at 150. - Got it, turbines at 150.

Now go ahead! Don't just stand there!

- Pick it up, go! - My poor fish!

- Here, wait! - Dump it in here! Go!

Down to 100 immediately!

Ten degrees forward! Turbines at full power!

This is the third mistake.

That's it for you now.

Everyone, listen up.

Rear Admiral Olshansky takes command.

Guard officer! Enter the command in the logbook immediately.

Torpedo tubes five and six go to standby immediately!

What are you waiting for?

Sonar operators, switch to automatic tracking.

- Battle stations! Torpedo attack! - Battle stations!

- The distance is? - Distance is 90 cables.

Course to 160.

The target is approaching. Bearing 230!

It's confirmed! Enter coordinates!

Data has been entered!

Tubes five and six ready to fire!

Tubes five and six ready to fire!

System is loading.

Fully loaded.

- Torpedo tubes five and six, fire! - Got it, fire!

Command executed. Torpedoes fired.

Confirmed. 20 seconds to contact.

Okay, do you have any idea what that is?

I maybe wrong, but sounds like as if they had fired torpedoes.

Torpedo sound matches target.

Ten more seconds.

Ten.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

It sounds like the target has a jammer activated.

- What? - Shortly before torpedo impact.

Explosion heard!

Target hit!

Good job!

Very good.

Good shot.

Rear admiral, the target is still moving forward.

But that's impossible, Ipanov.

Signal is getting stronger and coming towards us.

- Bearing? - Bearing 217.

Torpedo tubes three and four, fire on bearing 217.

Torpedo tubes three and four, go to standby!

- Three and four are ready! - Torpedoes are ready to launch.

The noise is everywhere now.

The signal is getting stronger! It's coming our way!

- Wait for command. - Torpedo tubes three, four, fire!

Command executed.

The torpedoes are running!

I've really never experienced anything like that.

Confirmed. Ten seconds until contact.

What the hell is going on? The object is still moving!

Tubes three, four, five and six were reloaded with anti-submarine torpedoes.

This target is moving towards us. The signal is getting stronger and stronger.

We are on the verge of being destroyed!

Take it easy, Rear Admiral.

Tell me, Rear Admiral,

what are your orders?

What are your orders?

Boatswain, hard port, heading for 80.

Dive to 300, trim angle ten degrees.

The turbines at 150.

Command is once again with the captain.

- Vitya, is everything okay? - Yes.

- Balance the boat again! - I'll try it!

Lighting has failed. The bulkheads are tight.

Noise is all over the horizon!

I can't stabilize the boat!

Alarm! Fire in the forward stations!

Fire in the torpedo room!

Switch off the boat's ventilation immediately!

Shirokorad, I sealed the rear!

The rear was sealed. There are seven men still inside.

The team is in stable condition!

Power supply of the torpedo system is on fire.

The weapon system is offline and not ready for use.

Smoke billows from beneath the control consoles. You can hardly see anything anymore.

We're sinking faster!

- Stabilize the boat! - I'll try!

We are approaching the maximum depth. Pressure excessive!

- Where is the destination? - No idea! It's everywhere!

640! The boat is sinking faster and faster!

Depth 700!

I suggest that we blow the diving cells!

Prepare diving cells for blowing!

Vitya! Don't do that! That's not safe!

We'll manage, Rear Admiral.

Be careful, blow all diving cells, immediately!

510! Trim by three degrees!

Stepanych, stop, stop, no more blowing!

- Stop blowing! Stop blowing! - Understood!

Just what is that? It's almost as if it could hear us!

Wherever we go, it follows us.

Turn off all systems, which have no influence on control.

Understood.

To all stations: Immediately

switch off all systems that are

not necessary for controlling the boat.

What is your status?

We'll put out the fire!

We're trying to control the fire. But the smoke is getting stronger.

Are there flames?

There is no open fire.

But the temperature and pressure increase.

Leonid, if you use CFCs, you destroy the starting systems!

Then we'll lose the torpedoes.

We're coping, we've got it under control.

Preliminary gas analysis showed that you can breathe the air.

Commander, the target is directly above us.

One more attack and we're done for.

Kostya...

What current do we have down here?

The East Iceland Current.

Can we let it drive us away from here?

Yes, but it will drag us down.

Stepanych, we have to stabilize the boat.

Submarine is now ready.

Prepare for silent mode.

To everyone in the torpedo room,

immediately stop fighting fires and leave the hot zone.

Start silent mode.

Silent mode starts.

- Is that the hull? Is it falling apart? - No.

Tell me the truth.

It's just the Scots, okay?

I want you to know...

- I just wanted to tell you... - I know that, Oscar.

I know that.

Hang in there, Karas. We'll fix you, you hear me?

The torpedo room fills with gases.

The concentration of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide is increasing.

We can't get them out. It would be too dangerous.

Keep stable at this depth. We can't be heard anymore.

- Please answer. - I'll try.

What?

The fire flares up.

We are in silent mode.

I don't want to hear a single thing. OK?!

Commander, commander! Listen, I...

Take it easy!

We need a doctor.

Send him to the control room immediately. What's wrong with him?

All right.

Get a stretcher.

Talk to me, Ipanov.

What do we have here?

The horizon is clear.

What is it?

We drift away.

It has lost track of us.

It's moving the other way!

Keep fighting the fire.

Come on, come on, we can't waste any time!

Take the extinguisher!

Put out the fire!

We have to contain it before it spreads to the other stations!

Exit silent mode.

It was cancelled.

- How is he? - His eardrum was injured.

Take him to the infirmary.

- Come on. - Careful.

Go go go go.

I'm going to the torpedo room. You take over.

- Write this down in the logbook. - Commander, just a word.

Listen to me. They put out the fire even without you.

You are needed here.

- Commander? - Yes?

The torpedo room.

Commander, the flames have surrounded us!

We did everything we could.

- Prepare to evacuate. - We're losing the weapons...

A better idea?

If we open the hatch, the fire continues to spread!

Do it!

Come on, men! We have to get out of here!

- Golubev, open the hatch, go ahead! - Understood!

Gena, come on now! Petrov, what are you waiting for?

- Come on, open it! - Go ahead, Golubev!

Come on, faster!

- Come on! - Watch his hands.

Pull her out! Go!

- Watch your heads! - Hurry up, guys.

Your fucking fire can kill me!

Where are you going, Golubev?

Come back immediately!

What is he doing there?

He has someone!

- Damned! Come on, I need your help! - Get involved!

Go go go go go!

Come on, take him! Pull him out! Go go go go go go!

- Watch his legs! - We have to close the hatch...

Listen, commander, We're in the airlock now.

Everyone is alive. Only minor burns. We provide first aid.

- Direct CFCs into the chamber. - Understood.

Listen, commander, the fire was completely extinguished.

Temperature and pressure in station one is stabilizing.

Okay, now pull yourself together.

Continue your work.

Check all stations.

- Move your fingers. And shoulder. - I can't.

I need the rail. They are resting.

- But he has to... - He will stay here at the station.

Oh, Karas, that something like this had to happen to you!

- Where should the ice cream go? - There.

Put that there.

Listen, that was the last ice cream. So go easy on the mojitos.

Thanks.

So, press it.

Excuse me.

How is our sonar operator?

Not so good. He survives.

And the others?

They're fine.

He needs cold compresses.

Very calm. I'm with you.

- Stay seated. - Check on the commander.

Help the wounded.

- Sit! Sit! - Help the wounded.

That's it. Press on the wound. Very good.

Misha, give me the burn ointment.

Yes, the big tube.

Thank you, that's enough.

- Commander, you should rest. - Not necessary.

I'm going again.

Thank you.

Have you fallen in love with the commander?

No, I prefer older men.

That's a typical woman.

The hero of the day doesn't get a kiss.

But you always follow the idiots.

The commander allowed you on board and violated protocol.

He risked his career. But she likes older men.

What do they say in the control room? What are we fighting here?

They say something is after us.

Some kind of creature. An underwater monster!

There was a fire on board. There are injured people.

Yes, something is chasing us. Something dangerous.

And it's time to return to base.

But we're almost there. I can feel it.

We must not give up and must continue to search.

Can you feel it?

After everything that happened and all the men who got hurt?

Stepanych, status report?

After the reboot, the reactor works normally again.

The hull is undamaged. But if we

dive deeper, anything could happen.

Prudnikov?

We can write off the torpedo room. We are defenseless.

First officer?

Vitya, there are injured people.

We have to think about them too.

And we're out of time.

Navigator?

Here's what, Commander. We are under pressure to act.

Everything we do makes it even worse.

We have to go back.

A long time ago, a friend didn't listen to the voice of reason.

You were never his friend.

- Your father didn't follow the rules. - He saved many from death by fire.

Yes, he did. And he lost his life doing it.

We almost didn't make it out ourselves.

If this thing attacks us again,

whatever it is, we won't survive this.

We don't know where it is.

If we continue to search, we blindly expose ourselves to great danger.

- Turn off the stabilizer. - Understood.

- Turbines at 90. - Got it, turbines at 90.

We return to base.

Report on the number of injured. Prepare crew members.

20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA

My beloved children...

I'm home after my shift, to say goodbye,

but it was too late. You slept so peacefully.

I didn't want to wake you up.

We're leaving tomorrow morning.

I will think of you every minute.

Take good care of Mommy, my boys.

Whatever happens, stick together.

I like you. I'll be back soon. Papa.

Sorry, Commander, for you. Apparently urgent.

Can I come in?

Yes.

- What a cute bird. - This is not a bird, but a sensor.

It shows the oxygen level.

If the bird is doing well, so are we.

I'm busy. Do you want something?

Yes, can you show me the map?

Sure, of course.

Please.

Can you see it. Our station was here at this point.

There were underwater explosions there.

After comparing data, I think the

creature came from the Nansen Depression,

and that our explosions woke it up.

We had to leave 17 people behind to die.

The force of the explosion was strong. Ice three meters thick shattered like glass.

You have seen the creature with your own eyes.

Yes, I saw something, true. But I have no idea what it was.

I read a lot at university, especially old manuscripts.

Strange that different people wrote

about the same thing over the centuries.

Even Icelandic sailors claimed that they saw something like

a monster in front of one of their ships, that went underground.

Like a giant cephalopod.

A gigantic octopus.

They called it the Kraken.

Then the monster disappeared, hibernating.

What if the explosion at the edge of the Nansen Basin woke it up again?

I thought that scientists didn't believe in fairy tales.

In science it turns out, it often turns out

that the craziest theories are ultimately true.

What if my theory is correct?

- Then what happens? - What then?

Then you have the most dangerous underwater predator

you have encountered in your entire life.

You definitely shouldn't provoke it.

Use extreme caution.

And turn off the sonar, or whatever the thing is called.

Hydroacoustics.

That's exactly what I mean.

The octopus is attracted to sound and also annoyed.

He may become disoriented and wander from the long sleep.

It could also be that he is blind.

But he hears everything and reacts strongly to every sound.

- I ask you to turn off the sonar. - Thank you very much, but...

it would be better if you tell us WHERE we can find the missing submarine.

I've already thought about that too.

And guess what?

Octopuses drag their prey into a cave.

- We should look for a cave. - And where exactly are we supposed to find that?

So, this cave?

Where the explosion was.

Directly at the Nansen Basin.

I'm sorry for disturbing you.

He just woke up.

So, Commander, as we drove in

silent mode, I heard a faint hissing noise.

What noise?

Metallic somehow. Something like a knock.

Station four at the control room. Turbine 150 runs smoothly.

I heard it on a different frequency.

I was even able to record part of it.

On the speaker.

Doesn't sound like Morse Code.

- But it repeats itself. - Play again.

- Navigator, follow me. - Understood.

Station three at the control room,

the second shift has started work.

There are seven men in the unit. All systems run smoothly.

Post 25 at the control room,

the power is on standard parameters.

The source of the signal comes from the direction

where the East Icelandic current intersects with

- the Nansen Basin. - With the Nansen Basin.

Yes, Commander.

Carry on.

The hydrogen concentration in the energy supply is 0.2%.

Sailors, officers, non-commissioned officers,

it is time to inform you about the current situation.

We were assigned the task of finding a missing nuclear submarine.

We received a signal indicating

that the crew could still be alive.

I plan to complete the mission and rescue our people.

But I also want to tell you that we are running out of time

and are putting ourselves in great danger.

But we do it, to accomplish a noble mission,

the only mission worthy of our comrades...

namely, to save their lives.

I'm counting on your courage...

and mind.

Sonar operator, what does it look like?

- So far no further noise. - And the destination?

I don't hear anything at all.

- Turbines to 150. - Got it.

- Boatswain, port side, 300 degrees. - Got it, port 300 degrees.

- Turbines to 150. - Station eight, turbines at 150.

Turn off ice tracking and echo sounder.

Got it. Turn off ice tracking and echo sounder.

Turbines to 150.

And the following is important: No acoustic signals, no matter what kind.

Switch the depth sounder to passive listening.

- Head for the Nansen Basin. - Second shift takes over. Step away!

Submarine turns left, heading for 300.

Gas parameters in all stations within normal range. Atmosphere normal.

I count to five, can't make it to ten

until I turn around, you have to go away.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, now I'm coming to get you.

If you haven't hidden, you are to blame!

Sasha! Where are you?

Sasha! Where are you?

Sasha!

Sasha!

Commander, we've arrived in the search area.

There is still no noise on the acoustic horizon.

I don't hear anything at all.

Commander, I suggest we go deeper.

Down to 1000 at a 5 degree angle.

- Understood. - Vitya.

Commander.

- We're at the limit. - Depth 950.

We will stay on our course. We can do it.

Depth 950. All stations checked. There are no leaks.

Rivets eject from the outer shell!

Stop diving immediately. Level up to 850.

Got it, 850, moving up again.

Control room, understood, rise to 850.

- Are there any injured people? - Negative.

Commander, there is an abyss before us.

How deep?

This is a pit.

I guess it's about 5000 meters deep.

Vitya, we shouldn't risk the lives of the crew.

- Stop the turbines, keep the boat level. - Understood.

Turbines stopped.

Control room, this is station eight. Turbines were stopped.

Koshkin, to the control room.

Am on the way.

Commander, we have never deployed a mini-submarine at this depth.

There is a first time for everything.

- We're way too late. - We can still do it.

Commander!

So...

Deep-sea submarine commander Koshkin...

It's time to get to work.

- Ready? - Yes commander, ready!

But Karas...

I mean Lieutenant Panov, my co-pilot has failed.

It doesn't work without him.

Can I step in for him?

- But you've never done anything like that before. - Yes, but something similar.

Why are you looking at me like that, first officer?

I spent two years on a mini-submarine.

And while I'm gone, I hand

over command to the rear admiral.

Make sure you don't drift away. When you move...

we have to show up again, and waste time.

I'll go on board.

- Our oxygen could also run out. - Then you should hurry up.

You are just like your father.

What you put in your head, you do that too.

He would be proud of you, Vitya.

You have to make sure you guys make it.

Control room, we are now ready to dive.

We're disconnecting now.

1400 meters.

1500 meters.

The hull begins to crack.

We have never dived so deep before. Never, Commander.

Go ahead.

1700 meters.

- Are you afraid? - Oh, no.

But if the "Polosatika" implodes, that would be very inconvenient.

You don't say.

I still don't hear anything.

Keep listening.

Commander...

If we don't find anything in the next few minutes, we'll have to go back.

I hear an echo!

Bearing?

Bearing 2-7-5.

- Koshkin, heading to 2-7-5. - Understood.

Mother of God Mary!

A whole cemetery full of shipwrecks.

But what is that?

Looks like the creature's lair.

- There, commander! - Yermak.

We found her.

We have you.

Oh my God, just look!

The geologists have nothing to do with it.

Doesn't look like any explosions.

I still don't see the bug.

The rear hatch is damaged.

Hopefully the bug is still intact.

The rear sustained the most damage.

Look, there! The lock is intact!

Get ready to dock.

Another little piece.

- Careful. - I see it, the current is very strong.

Oh, silly me!

Stop mumbling, and make sure you dock.

- You said that we don't have time. - God damn it!

- Who taught you this? - A great sailor.

- Koshkin, you need to get closer! - I know what I'm doing.

The current is pushing us away.

Another small movement.

Go! Yes yes yes!

- Come! - Come on baby, come on!

Yes! We have docked!

Let's go.

- Activate locks. - Understood.

- Pump out water and check pressure. - Understood.

Do you hear anything from inside?

OK.

Show me. Good.

You will live, men!

Commander Second Rank, Voronin.

Who is the highest ranked here? How many are you?

I am Commander First Rank, Voronin.

Well, look at it!

We are in contact. The team is alive!

OK.

There was a short circuit. Then fire. And explosions.

We didn't know what was going on.

The boat began to rock. And turned.

But we didn't know why.

Very carefully, slowly!

We were first pulled down...

and then it was quiet.

Come on guys, come on!

I ordered total radio silence.

We didn't respond to anything anymore.

We only sent out one ping per hour.

Just a knock.

Skvortsov!

- How many are you? - 39.

That's too many for the boat.

This is not good. We're running out of oxygen here.

Nobody knows how long it will last.

Commander, we are now fully booked.

Here is the logbook.

I'll stay here. I'll go last.

Can any of them pilot a submersible?

No, what are you waiting for? Surface.

You're not in charge.

This is my boat, okay?

And this is my rescue mission.

So?

Mekhanikov.

- Mekhanikov! - Yes?

Yes.

Get ready. Mitya, you stay here.

- Can you navigate them? - Naturally.

Then go. To the fish.

Cautious.

Would you like to see whether the training paid off.

- Brothers? - Yes.

Koshkin? Do you still have room for a man?

- No, full like a can of sardines. - Then take him on your lap.

Here.

He is part of our team. He takes over for me.

And you too, brother.

Go on, Yura!

- Come on, let's go! - Me? Up?

- Go. - And you?

So, I'll stay here. I don't like tight spaces.

Now let's go! You don't have time to waste!

Time to show up, people.

- Valera? - Let's go.

Who is that?

- Everything OK? - Yes, yes everything is fine, commander.

Go.

- What is that? - A light signal.

This makes returning easier.

The commander forbade it.

Valera.

We're leaving.

Quiet. Very calm.

Just don't rush. Slow.

Take your time.

What was that?!

Oh, now I know where I forgot it back then.

What?

I mean my watch.

She's not yours. But our father's.

Listen to me.

You have to hold on a little longer.

You'll soon have it done.

We need the weapon codes from the control room.

We can't leave them here.

I'm coming with you.

We're going together.

Careful.

Slowly, bring him here carefully.

- Can you breathe better now? - Yes, yes, better.

Please give him a cup.

Keep breathing evenly, slowly and controlled.

What are you waiting for? Be bold, I'll catch you.

This one stays with me. No no no! I still need him.

No, I'm not feeling well. He needs to rest!

Just two minutes!

Oscar?

- Careful. Put him here. - Here, have a drink.

- Where is the commander? - He's with the others.

- Where exactly? - In the other boat.

Ow, my leg!

The activation codes.

Thank God.

Is that all of them?

Some are linked to the system. We can't extract them.

It's no use, we've already tried it.

I can do it.

Come on.

Wait, I have an idea.

- Ipatov! Was that all? - Yes.

Koshkin, come here.

It goes on.

Impossible. I need a co-pilot.

- What? - We need a co-pilot!

You need four hands for this. We need another man.

- Doc! Listen! - Yes?

- We need this man. - No.

- Hey buddy. Look at me, okay? - Oscar!

You have to look at me. Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

You said you can control the submarine.

- You need help! - This is dangerous!

But they need an extra man, to control the small submarine.

I beg you!

Oscar, they need your help. Do it for me!

- Guys, I can help. - Wait a minute.

I served on a submarine for four months.

On a mini-submarine similar to yours. He is reliable.

- May I help? - I'm not sure.

I can really help you. I promise you that.

- Let him show you what he can do. - Got it, okay.

Damn!

Call me Russian!

Then go.

- Rear Admiral! - What is it?

Distance?

The signal is weak, but it's getting closer.

Do you hear something?

Now a light signal would be practical.

I'll have it right away. Just a moment.

Come on.

Who says it?

I hear something.

Yermak.

Now we can finally leave.

Not quite yet, but we can disable the weapons.

I am receiving an electromagnetic signal.

- The Yermak has rebooted itself. - Perfect. Let's go there.

- Drive towards impulse. - Okay.

What was that?

Four, one, two... four...

Five...

Don't, Sasha!

The thing that attacked you is nearby.

Maybe we can use the weapon.

We have to get out of here. We can't defend ourselves without torpedoes.

- Even with that, we can't do anything. - Come! We have to go.

One moment! Stop!

Listen.

Transfer the sonar to the main monitor immediately.

It's really alive.

This thing sank your submarine.

It's the Kraken.

You must not move, otherwise it attacks. Stay calm.

Oh my God.

We have to go into the sonic shadow!

Prepare everything, to go to the bottom of the sea.

Stations two and seven, prepare to descend to the bottom!

Control room, this is station one. We hit the bottom.

Station seven, check the hull for damage. Issue immediate report.

Station seven at the control room,

there was a strong impact in the area of the rear bulkhead.

Stay calm, my little ones. Stay calm.

Quiet, calm.

Everything will be okay again, you'll see.

My little fish, everything will be okay again.

Good, Vasya?

Even more.

Thanks.

Rear Admiral...

We've gone too deep.

You hear it. The hull cannot withstand this pressure.

We will be crushed.

- What was that? - Water intrusion!

Activate pumps. Close the valves!

Severe flooding in station six!

Activate all pumps!

Go ahead!

Oh shit. We lean way too far to one side.

Okay, everything's fine.

Ipatov, turn this thing off!

Immediately!

- No chance. It's damaged. - Damn.

The target has been detected by the Yermak's sonar.

- It depends. - That's what was missing!

Listen, Rear Admiral.

The hull is about to burst.

We have to surface. Immediately! Or we die.

But what about the submersible?

These are experienced people. They can do it without us.

- Boatswain? - Yes?

- Go up! - Understood!

Initiate emergency surfacing!

Initiate emergency surfacing! We're going upstairs, people!

Submarine rises. Depth 910.

Depth 900.

It's by the gorge.

And comes towards us.

It's getting closer and closer.

Where is the magic bullet?

The entrance to the torpedo room is blocked,

but we can try through the ventilation shaft.

All right Vitya, you're quick. You can do it.

I wish I could go myself.

With the broken arm?

The codes.

The keys to the system.

Vitya, can you hear me?

Clear and clear.

I'm ready.

Good luck!

- They docked. - Go over and get in.

We can do it.

- The next one. Semyon! - Yes!

Movement!

The next!

Igor!

Where is the commander? Where is the commander?

Sasha, I'm in the torpedo room.

Remember Vitya, once you fire them, you must trigger the self-destruct mechanism.

Yes I know.

Visually, the start console looks OK.

We will start the system together. You from the torpedo room, I from the control room.

Press the start button on my signal, okay?

Upload the codes on time.

Vitya, the thing is here now.

What is your status?

The torpedo tubes are damaged.

- All of them? - The verticals still work.

If mom knew we were hanging out here together, then...

She doesn't know. We don't say anything either.

Until the systems start, there are still two minutes.

Commander of the rescue submarine, close the hatch!

- Hold on tight, we're crashing! - Down, get down!

If you had studied medicine, then you wouldn't be here now!

Sasha, I did it straight away!

Don't hate me. I always meant well for you.

I didn't think that you would make it.

But you are like our father. I'm sorry, Vitya.

Save the speeches for later. Tell me when we get to the top.

Vitya! The seventh row from the top, the fifth from the left!

Seventh row from top, fifth... But it doesn't respond.

Check it again!

No reaction!

Then we're finished.

It works, it was just covered by soot.

At my signal we press together. Three...

Two...

Sasha, fire it!

Vitya?

Vitya, it worked.

Vitya?

Vitya!

Vitya!

The self-destruct mechanism was triggered.

Come on, come on, we have to get to the submersible!

SELF-DESTRUCTION IN...

It's so damn cold!

Sasha!

Sasha, where are you? Say something!

Sasha!

Sasha!

What are you waiting for?

Take my hand!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Koshkin!

Vitya!

Sasha!

Come on!

Hurry!

Hurry, hurry!

Koshkin, disengage immediately!

The clutch is blocked!

Everyone hold on tight!

Sasha, hold on!

The bomb is about to explode!

Koshkin! Give it here!

Sasha! There's a lever next to you!

Give me support!

Come on, come on!

May I?

Look, Rear Admiral!

- Where? - There!

Damn! You live!

Yes!

Hey, hey, hey!

What time is it?

Here.

Keep her. You deserve it.

I just wanted to know at what time we were reincarnated.

Careful!

Throw it here!

Hop!

Give me your hand.

Commander is on board.

Still stirring .

Give me your hand. I got you. That's it.

Unfortunately we don't have a brass band for you.

- How are you? - Be careful with the injured.

- Doc, take them to the infirmary. - Understood.

Karas!

- We need more blankets! - How are you doing? Everything OK?

Where are the blankets?

Going home.

Home.

- Good afternoon, commander. - Good day.

- Good day. - Hello.

Line command, get everyone ready to disembark, we're here.
