There he is! Hey, Andy!

Where have you been?
It's an all-hands function .

Come here, I want you to meet Joanie.
Joanie, this is Andy Tyler. He's my best friend .

That'c the lieutenant I was talking about.

Lieutenant Tyler!

Hello there, Prudence, Louise,
Mrs Dahlgren , Captain .

Where's your date, Andy?
It's not Iike you to arrive stag Iike this.

I'm afraid I couldn't get one
on such short notice, ma'am .

Captain , could I have a word with you?

Certainly.

Darling , will you excuse uc?

-Okay.
-Be right back.

I didn't get my boat.

I know.

With all due respect, sir, there's only
one way that could've happened ,

and that's if you withheld your recommendation .

That's right.

I just don't think you're ready.

What do you mean, I'm not ready?

Sir, I have worked my tail off on the S-33.

I'm qualified in every area and then come.

No executive officer
has higher marks than l do--

Andy!

You're just not ready
to take on a command of your own .

Now I've made my decision . lt's done.

Mr Tyler! How're you doing , sir?

-Having a 9ood time?
-Hell , yeah , Chief.

-How about you?
-I'm Iooking forward to getting underway.

I'm a sea dog . Need some salt, sir.

He torpedoed me, Chief.

N ine months aboard the S-33.

Doing the bect job l know how.

Doing everything once and then doing it again ,

just to make sure
I didn't miss anything the first time.

You'll get your chance, sir.
There's other commands in the navy.

You knew.

Didn't warn me.

Ain't my place, sir.

[man] Club's cecured ! Time to go!

[whistle blows]

What's the meanin0 of this, Sergeant?

-You the senior man?
-That's right. I'm the X.O. of the S-33.

These men have a 48-hour Iiberty pass.

No, sir, not no more.

[dramatic music]

What the hell are those yardbirdc
doing to my boat?

Looks like a 9oddamn Nazi submarine.

Hey, Andy. This is a fine navy day.

They wouldn't 0ive me five minutes
to consummate my marriage, five minutes!

-What's going on here?
-Hell if I know.

-Put your cover on .
-Yes, sir.

Mr Tyler, is thic for real , or is it a drill?

You know. "It's our turn ." What does that mean?

[indistinct chatter]

I don't know, I don't know.
But I'm gonna find out.

Get your jobs done now.

[tannoy] All off-going duty officers,
report to the dock.

Captain Dahlgren ,
could you fill me in on what's going on , sir?

I mean , we're obviously
not going to the Caribbean Station .

No, we're not. We're going on a special op.

You'll be briefed with Mr Emmett
and Mr Larson once we get underway.

-Aye, sir.
-Andy, Iisten.

I'm gonna need
the very best from you on this run,

re0ardless of any differences
you may have with me.

Are we clear on that?

-Yes, sir.
-Good .

Now go find radioman Wentz
and quietly escort him to the materiel office.

[knocking]

Mr Tyler. How are you, son?

I'm fine, Admiral Duke.
What brings you up here?

He doec. That's Lieutenant H irsch.

He's gonna be riding your boat.

You're not working for SubLant on this run .
Mr Hirsch has operational control .

He's the boss. Anything he wants, he gets.

Fine.

Is this him?

Good Rhine farming folk.

You understand me, Mr Wentz?

[in English] Yes, sir.

[in German] Can you speak paccable German?
Can you read and write it?

Or are you just a farm boy
with a German name?

[in German] I am just a farm boy.

One who can read ,
write and speak quite well .

I studied German at Brown University
before joining the war.

[tense music]

Thank you, Wentz.

[in Englich] He'll do.

Thank you , Wentz. That's all for now.

Lieutenant, prepare the boat to 9et underway.

You'd be surprised come of the shit

Who the hell are you?

Marine Major Coonan ,

Mr Emmett, take her down .

Aye, sir.

Chief of the watch , sound the dive alarm.
Pass the word along to one MC.

-Open the main ballast tank vents.
-Aye, sir, passin0 the word .

[horn blares]

Dive, dive, dive.

Sir, main ballast tank vents indicate open .

-Aye. Both planes dive, 1 5 de0rees.
-Both planes dive, 1 5 degrees. Aye.

All clear!

-Decks awash .
-Decks awash . Aye, sir.

[submarine hiccin0 , creaking]

First time on a submarine?

That's right.

6-0 feet.

Lower the scope.

Captain , engine room reports minor flooding
from the shaft seals and brine pump.

-Bilge is at 1 8 inches and rising.
-Very well .

How deep does this thing go?

She'll go all the way to the bottom ,
if we don't stop her.

Normally we try not to get below 1 5Ü feet.

Any deeper, the Ieaks overwhelm the pumpc.

These S-boats are antiques,

older than most of the crew.

-[Chief 1 -0-0 feet.
-Aye.

Excuce me, Mr Emmett.

Put a pipe patch on it, lash it with marline.

-The yard can fix it when we get back to port.
-Aye, sir.

Relax, 9entlemen . She's old, but che'll hold .

[Hircch] Lact night, at Ü300 hours,

a Britich destroyer reported depth charging
and sinking a German U-boat.

However, some time thereafter,

AIlied direction finding stations
triangulated a coded enemy radio signal

to this position here, near the chop Iine.

We believe the U-boat was disabled , not sunk,

and is drifting eastward on a 4-knot current.

Now, French Resistance reported
a resupply submarine

sailed from the Lorient U-boat pens
yesterday affernoon ,

with engine parts and mechanics.

And we believe it'c 9onna rendezvous
with the disabled U-boat.

On board that U-boat is thic.

-A typewriter?
-An Enigma code machine.

It allows the German navy to communicate
with its submarines in secret.

And our inability to decipher their messagec
is costing us this war.

Mr Coonan?

All right, this is basically
a Trojan Horse operation .

The S-33 will rendezvous with the U-boat,
posin0 as the German resupply sub.

I will lead a boardin0 party dressed in
Krie0smarine uniforms to the enemy submarine.

We will take it by force and cecure the Enigma.

Any German survivors will be transferred
to the S-33, and the U-boat will be scuttled .

The German resupply submarine
will arrive at the rendezvous

and will accume that the U-boat
cuccumbed to its wounds and sank.

The Germans must never suspect
we have the Enigma.

-That is vital .
-So, it's a race?

-Yes, effectively.
-Who's the boardin9 party?

Well, since you're the X.O. , you , sir.

Mr Emmett, Mr Larson , Mr Hirsch
and nine of your ship's company.

The captain , of course,
will remain onboard the S-33.

Mr Coonan , our boys are submarine sailors,

not combat marines.

The boys onboard that U-boat are sailors too.

Your men'll be ready, Lieutenant.
I'II train them myself.

You've come to the right boat.

[tense swell]

[daunting music]

[engineer grunts]

[in German] Okay, Chief. Let's give it a test.

[engine hisses]

You said you could repair engines?

Captain , I apprenticed in my uncle's garage,
fixin0 scooters.

[cursing]

-[whistle]
-[sailor shouting]

I need a mechanic!

[in English] Ahoy! Friends!

We have many wounded!

Take us prisoner, please!

[in German] What are they saying , Captain?

They want to be our guests.

I mpossible. Shoot them .

Standing orders of the Führer.
We will not pick up any survivors.

If they are found, they will report our position
with much eagerness.

Get on with it.

[man shouting in English]

[survivors screaming]

I'm tellin0 you , she was hotter
than Dorothy Lamour and better built.

-Really?
-Yeah .

I could tell she was interested ,

but she was classy, you know?

The type of girl that wants you to take her
to a country club dance or something .

Yeah! Like you've ever seen
the inside of a country club.

Like l'd even want to, all right?

Anyway, I can see
I'm not getting anywhere with her,

so what I do is, I use my secret weapon .

I tell her about the S-26.
Does the trick right away.

You don't be talking about that
while we're underway.

-Why? What happened with the S-26?
-Yeah , what happened?

-You guys don't know?
-No.

She was running a test dive down off Norfolk.

Shaft seal failed .

She sunk to 400 feet.

Know how much water pressure there is that deep?

Mazzola, you will be the first one
eating powdered eggs on this cruise.

Keep it up, you hear?

-[knocking]
-Come in .

This is our position , Captain .

We're still bucking some pretty heavy seas.

I estimate us to be about
three hours behind schedule.

I told Mr Emmett to run at flank speed
and hold off a trim dive,

until we make up the lost time.

That's fine, Lieutenant.

You're a first-rate X.O. , Andy.

A damn good submariner.

I know the men like you .

I'd give my Iife for any one of them, sir.

I know you would .
l'm not questioning your bravery.

The question is, what about their lives?

You and Mr Emmett are good friends.

Went to the Academy to9ether.

Would you be willing to sacrifice his life?

Or what about some of
the youn0er enlisted men?

You know, a lot of those guyc
Iook up to you Iike a big brother.

You willin0 to Iay their Iives on the line?

You see? You hesitate.

But as a captain , you can't.

You have to act.

If you don't,
you put the entire crew at risk.

Now that's the job. It's not a science.

You have to be able to make hard decisions,
based on imperfect information .

Asking men to carry out orders
that may result in their deaths.

And if you're wrong,
you suffer the consequences.

If you're not prepared to make those decisions

without pause, without reflection ,

then you've got no business
being a submarine captain .

[sombre mucic]

Tell Mr Hirsch I'd like a word with him,
would you?

Aye, sir.

[daunting music]

-More soup, Captain?
-Thank you .

I wish I was going with you , gentlemen .

I feel the same way you do, Carson .

Gentlemen , l'd Iike to propose a toast.

To the officers and crew of the S-33

and our distinguished guests,
Mr Hirsch and Mr Coonan .

-Success, gentlemen !
-Success.

-Captain Dahlgren, sir?
-What is it, Wentz?

Chief says we've picked up
a radar contact at 0-7-0.

Very well . Mr Larson?

Signal Iamp off the starboard bow!

I see it.

Pass the word along .

Submarine sighted off the starboard bow.

-Stand by to man battle stations.
-Aye, sir.

All right, here we 0o. One last time.

Lieutenant Tyler's raft
0ets from the conning tower aft.

My raft gets the 0un crew.

And no one, no one shoots till l shoot first.

-You read me?
-Yes, sir.

Outstanding . Lock and load .

[daunting music]

It'll be all right, son .

Captain, I estimate the German resupply sub
has a 1 4-knot speed of advance.

My latest plot puts them at 1 2 hours away, sir.

Very well , Mr Larson .

Captain, the boarding party's ready, sir.
Await your go-ahead .

I'll put her Iow in the water.

I wanna give that U-boat
as little silhouette as we can .

Sir?

Prepare to disembark the boarding party.

Aye, Captain.

If this thing goes south ,

I will blow that Nazi boat
right out of the water.

-Understood , sir.
-Very well .

[sombre mucic]

AIl set, Captain .

Now you Iisten to me.

You get them their damn trophy
and you get the hell outta there.

Aye, sir.

The boys are gonna be fine.

I know they will , sir.

Good Iuck, Andy.

Godspeed , Skipper.

[tense swell]

All right, we got 1 2 men topside,

Now remember,

Huh?

We'll have you underway before dawn .

All right, belay that.
Wentz, stay where you are!

Hirsch, hotfoot it to the torpedo room!

-Helm, mark your head every ten degrees.
-Aye, sir.

-Now passing 3-2-0.
-Turn , baby, turn . Turn !

Equalising valves.
Holy shit! What's what? This is crazy.

I can't equalise the tubes!

-What do you need?
-Equalising valves!

-Valves?
-Equalising valves!

-Gyro?
-No, drainage.

-I've got no drainage.
-No.

Now passing Ü-0-Ü.

Swin0 , you bastard , cwing .

Chief, stand by in case
we have to flood forward trim.

[tense music]

-I mpulse?
-No.

-Differential . Pressure differential .
-These! Turn them ! Yes!

-Which way?
-Counter clockwise. Yes!

-[alarm blares]
-[groans]

Torpedo missed . It's in our baffles.

Two more torpedoes in the water!

Best bearing to the U-boat 0-1 -0.

Aye! Rabbit, get ready to fire a spread .

Tuhes one and two. Zero gyro. Fire!

Rabbit, fire!

[loud metallic grating]

What's going on?

-What is that?
-Wrong one! Wrong one!

The fish is stuck! They must have
missed an interlock or something !

Rabbit, get those fish out of the boat
before they blow!

Look for impulse air or firin0 air.

That was impulce there and there!

One, two, away. Lining up tubes three and four.

Three and four, fire!

AII fich running hot, straight and normal .

[tense music]

[metallic scrapin9]

I think they all missed , sir.

Shit!

[Wentz] U-boat's breaking up.

I hear bulkheads collapsing.

The 33 boat, Mr Tyler.

Let's take her up and Iook for survivors, Chief.

-Give me some rise on the planes!
-Rise on the planes, aye.

Deploy main ballast!

[sombre mucic]

Gotcha, gotcha.

Oh , crap!

[sailor] Help!

Help!

Please, help!

Help! Help!

Do you speak English?

English. Do you speak English?

What's your rank?

What do you do?

What's your job? Your job.

"Job". Mein beruf?

[in German] EIectrician . I am an electrician .

[electricity noise]

You're an electrician . Good .

You can us help squeeze some more juice
out of them batteries.

Sir, I see the skipper.

[thunder]

Battery's dead . Whatever juice was leff
we used up when we manoeuvred .

What about the diesels?

Starboard's a wreck.
We need to dry dock to fix it.

Port side diesel'c the good news.

Whoever the Krauts had wrenching on it

didn't know a piston head
from his sister's titty.

-I think I can fix it.
-Okay, Tank.

-Do what you can .
-Yes, sir.

AII right, Iisten up.

We've decided on a course.

We're heading for England, Land's End .

It's the closest, besides occupied France.

Rabbit, how many torpedoes do we have?

Just one. It's in the stern tube,
which is bucted .

The high pressure Iine
is bleeding air from somewhere.

-Sir?
-Yeah, what is it, Tri0ger?

Can't we just use the radio?

Fire off a Mayday and wait for a rescue?

That's impossible.

If we transmit, the Germans will
direction-find our position to a grid

with their missing two U-boats.

If they even suspect we have the Enigma,
they will change their entire codin9 system .

And that would completely negate
the purpose of our mission .

Mr Tyler,

if we head for England,

we're gonna go straight through
the western approaches.

He's right. I mean, that'c Jerry's backyard .

-[Tyler] Listen , guys.
-It's full of U-boats.

And we've got nothing to defend ourselves with .

Do you think I got all the answers here?

You think I know how we're
gonna get out of this mess? I don't.

I don't know how.

-I say we use the radio.
-Nobody asked you .

Yeah , we use the radio
and take our goddamn chances.

-Yeah .
-I said can it.

-It's what the captain would have done--
-Captain's dead !

[whirring]

[upliffing music]

[Mazzola] This is crazy.

This whole thing is crazy.

Risking our lives over a typewriter.

[Wentz] It's not a typewriter.

The hell it ain't.
lt's 0ot buttons Iike a typewriter.

[Wentz] Yeah , well , it's not.

[Mazzola] Yeah , well , whatever it is, I say
it's crazy we get ourselves killed over it.

[Chief The navy says
it's important, it's important.

The navy says it's more important
than you , him , me, fine.

We're gonna die trying .

And that ain't crazy. That's our job.

What l don't seem to understand , Chief,
is how come you're not in charge?

Scuttlebutt is Dahlgren was kicking
Tyler out of the navy anyway,

and everybody here knows that...

You stow that shit right now, sailor!

Lieutenant Tyler is your commanding officer,
and you will respect that man as such .

-Do you understand?
-Yes, Chief.

Look at them son o' bitches.

You know my pop was a fisherman?

He had this old 60-footer
he'd run all over the Gulf.

Noisy two-stroke diesel .

Rotten to the gunnels, that thin0 .

I could scrub that deck three times a day,
and it still stunk Iike fish .

And I swore I'd never
skipper a boat like that, Chief.

I saw mycelf standing
on the bridge of a battleship.

A real sea captain .

Mr Tyler, permission to speak freely?

Of cource, Chief.

This is the navy,

where a commanding officer
is a mighty and terrible thing ,

a man to be feared and respected .

All knowing , all powerful .

Don't you dare say what you said
to the boys back there a0ain, "I don't know."

Those three words will kill a crew,
dead ac a depth charge.

You're the skipper now.

And the skipper always knows what to do,
whether he does or not.

-[Rabbit] Aircraft off the port bow!
-Shit!

Real sorry, sir.
It dropped right out of the clouds.

Rabbit, Trigger, stand by the flak gun .

-Sir.
-Sir.

It's German .
Looks Iike long-range reconnaissance.

What the hell's it doing way out here?

-Jesus, here it comes!
-AIl ri9ht, sit tight.

As far as he knows, we're all playing
on the same team. Everybody wave.

Wave?

Sir, we're sitting ducks. If we shoot first,
we can blow them out of the sky.

We shoot and miss, he's gonna radio us in .
That plane's gonna be the Ieast of our problems.

This is crazy. You're gonna get us killed .

He's coming around !

He's coming around !

He's attacking !
For Chrict's sake, Rabbit, do something !

-Mazzola, shut up. Rabbit, ignore him.
-Do something!

He's coming straight for us, Rabbit!
He's coming right at us! Do somethin0 !

-Acknowledge me, Seaman Parker!
-What are you waiting for?

-Yeah, Rabbit! Shoot him! Shoot him !
-Seamen Parker, I'm orderin0 you,

do not fire that weapon !
Get your finger off that trigger!

[Mazzola] Pull the trigger! Pull the trigger!

We're gonna die! Do it! Do it!

Come on! Goddamn it, can't you see him?

What the hell are you doing, huh?

This is not a goddamn democracy!

Mr Tyler, I see a mast on the horizon!

[ominous music]

Shit! That's a Nazi destroyer.

That plane must have been running a recon
screen for it.

Clear the brid0e!
Chief, secure the diesel and dive the ship!

Dive the ship! Aye, sir!

[alarm rings]

[tense music]

We don't have a green board , sir.
The engine room's not ready.

Vents won't open . We lost hydraulics.

Tank, secure the diesel
and rig the engine room for dive!

Tank, acknowledge!

Goddamn it! Mazzola, go see
what the hell's goin0 on back there.

[0unchot]

Drop it, you Nazi son of a bitch! Drop it!

Goddamn it!

I'm real sorry, Mr Tyler.

Took me right off my feet.

Listen to me.
You've got to secure the diesel .

And find out why the vent valves
won't open now!

-Yes, sir.
-Goddamn it!

-Eddie!
-Yes, sir.

You get this son of a bitch out of here.
Chain him up to the bunks.

Make sure his handc and feet are secure.
Put him into submission !

-Lieutenant, we have a big problem!
-Take care of it, Eddie.

Oh, shit!

[foreboding music]

Tell Tank to finish those repairs.
The destroyer is sending a launch .

He needs five minutec, Mr Tyler!

We don't have five minutes, Chief.

Lieutenant, the deck cannon.
If we fire a shell below the water line...

[Tyler] It wouldn't do a goddamn thin0 .

No, that tub could take a hundred shells.

What we need is a working torpedo,
which we do not have.

Trigger, stand by on the flak gun .

And when I 0ive you the word ,
turn that launch into driffwood .

-Aye?
-Yes, sir.

They're gonna find out who we are
in about 60 seconds.

Trigger, ready on that weapon?
Chief, tell Tank he has one minute.

And get Wentz and Rabbit up here
with the machine gun .

Hirsch, what happens
when they find out we're not German?

Affer they shoot us as spies,
they'll radio into headquarters.

They'II tell them the Eni9ma'c been compromised .

What if we take out their radio,
before they can notify anyone about us?

How?

With that deck gun .

It's gonna be one hell of a shot,
but we can do it.

Then we dive. We dive like hell,
and we 9et under them quick.

We lure them a little bit closer
to the continent, in range of AIIied air cover.

-Then we call in an air strike.
-Mr Tyler?

Yeah , we call in an air strike.

Son of a bitch cut off pressure
to the hydraulics.

We need to find the stop valve.

Damn !

See that structure topside just after the flying
bridge with the big antenna sticking out of it?

-Yes, sir.
-That's the radio shack.

You and Wentz get on the deck gun ,
and , on my command ,

I want you put a shell
right through the goddamn porthole.

-Get to it, gentlemen . Get to it.
-Yes, sir!

[indistinct German chatter]

[in German] Hello, gentlemen .

Give us a hand with the lines.

Yes, 0ladly.

What are they doing?

Something'c wrong .

Tell them to go away, Mr H irsch.

Go back!

-Go back! Go back!
-Go back!

Back to the ship!

Talk to me, Rabbit!

Deck 9un manned and ready in all respects, sir!

Fire!

[rousing music]

[alarm blarec]

CIear the deck!

[in German]
Get to the forward gun ! They're firing on us.

Who, sir?

The cubmarine.
They've blown up our radio tower!

[men shouting]

[gunfire]

Come on , come on !

Dive! Dive! Dive! Dive!

[canon hydraulics whir]

-Why aren't we diving?
-Repairs aren't complete, sir.

-Eddie, man the planes.
-Aye, cir!

Tank, all ahead full .

-Aye, sir! Manning the planes!
-[Tank] All ahead full, aye!

[Tyler] Nice shot, Rabbit. That radio's history.

-We're heading right towards them !
-That's right.

Their deck 0unc can't get to us,
if we're in close enough .

Let's hope we can dive and clear her keel .

[canon hydraulics whir]

That's it.

Hydraulics rectored !

Thank you, Tank.
That did it. We're going under.

Passing five metres.

Passin0 ten metres.

Fifteen metres.

Twenty metres.

Trigger, left full rudder.

Tank, all ahead two-thirds.

Contact manoeuvring .

Heavy cavitation .

-Splashes.
-Shit!

[in German] Short intervals.

Prepare charges!

Set depth at 25.

[distant explosions]

Step away from that bulkhead , Mr Hirsch .

Shock wave from one of these
explosions can snap your spine.

Chief...

ever been depth charged?

Once, off Murmansk,

back in World War One.

One charge came so close,
it rattled four teeth out of the skipper's head .

[Ioud explosion]

Wasn't even close.

[electricity zapping]

[slow whirring]

Control , starboard E-motor's seized up.

The German must have sabotaged it.

Goddamn it!

There's no way we make it to AIlied air cover
creeping along on one shaft.

[sonar bleeps]

[Ioud explosion]

[men coughing, spluttering]

Eddie, help Chief.

Yes, sir.

Mr Chief, I got that.

Tank, you alive back there?

Yes, sir.

Good . Port ahead two-thirds.

Port ahead two-thirds. Aye, sir.

Tank, can you fix the stern tube?

I don't know, Mr Tyler.

I don't want an "I don't know".

Can you fix the torpedo tube, yes or no?

Yes, sir. I think I can .

Thank you, Tank.

Chief, make depth 1 -6-0 metres.

That's more than 50Ü feet.

Take us down, Chief.

Aye, sir.

1 -6-0 metres.

-Twenty degrees dive, both planes.
-Twenty degrees dive. Aye, sir.

Mr Tyler, sir,

do you plan on going up against a destroyer

with only one fish in the tube
and a busted motor?

Yes, I am, Eddie.

-How wise is that, Lieutenant?
-Not very.

But have a Iook. Chief.

There is no way a two-knot submarine can get
in firing position againct a 3Ü-knot destroyer,

unless we go deep.

At 1 60 metres,

we can shoot out a bunch of junk
from the forward tubes.

It will resurface and create a debris field .

Now the destroyer's gonna go to the centre
of that debris field ,

shut off its engines
to make it real nice and quiet,

and do an acoustic search
to make sure we're dead .

But we're not. See, we're here,

on our way up to periscope depth .

AIright, principle of ascent velocity.

We Iet our positive buoyancy pull us up
and away from the destroyer.

And when we surface,
we'll be showing it our arse at 7Ü0 yards.

That is a perfect set-up for a stern shot
on a stationary tar0et.

Boom!

It don't get much prettier than that.

All right, Mr Tyler.

-Passing 1 -3-0 metres.
-Very well .

Rabbit, l need you to Ioad
Mazzola'c body into tube three,

and put an escape jacket onto him
to make sure he floats.

We're gonna shoot him out like garbage?

H is body is gonna save our Iives.

I'll say a few words for him.

Hirsch , go with Rabbit.

-Eddie, can you man both planes?
-Yes, sir.

-Mr Tyler?
-Yeah?

If you can't take out that destroyer,

the danger is not that some of us may die.
It's that some of us might Iive.

These men have seen and heard thin0s

that muct not be revealed to the enemy.

Our secrets,

such as our radar capabilities

and our understanding of German encryption .

If we fall into German hands alive,
we will be tortured without mercy.

Either you succeed in sinking that ship,

or you must see to it

that none of us survive

to be captured .

[daunting music]

We commend his soul to God

and commit his body to the deep.

[in German] Release charges!

Mr Tyler, contact is zigging .

Splashes.

Contact getting closer.

-More splashes.
-[conar bleeps]

Tank, line up to pump engine room bilge to sea.

Yes, sir.

Rabbit...

fire the tubec.

Bye, Mazzola.

[sonar bleeps]

[sonar bleeps]

[sonar bleeps quicken]

[sonar bleeps slow]

[distant explosion]

[distant explosion]

They're settin9 them charges too shallow.

[men yelp]

[steam hissing]

Secure that air valve!

Chief, what's our depth?

1 -6-0 metres.

-Zero the planes.
-Zero the planes.

Splashes!

They're too close together!

I can't count them .

[tense music]

Chief...

take us to 200 metres.

We're gonna get under these damn thingc.

Chief.

Take us to 2Ü0 metres.

Aye, sir.

Makin9 my depth 200 metres.

Ten degrees dive, both planes.

-Ten degrees dive. Aye.
-Both planes.

[submarine creakin0]

1 -7-0 metres.

Tank,

what's the status on the stern torpedo tube?

There'c a couple things wrong .

I can operate the muzzle door now,
but I'm still working on the impulse air.

1 -8-0 metres.

Mr Tyler, depth gauge back here says 1 80 metres.

Thanks, Tank. I know.

Keep working .

1 -9-0 metres.

[submarine creaks]

200 metres. Zero the planes.

-Zero the planes, aye.
-Zero the planes.

[distant explosion]

[distant explosion]

Mary, mother of God .

Those Krauts sure know how to build a boat.

Chief, take us up!

-Blowing negative! Planes full rise!
-Clockwise, Hirsch ! CIockwise!

Rabbit, help me out!

-Go, go!
-I'm coming , sir!

Chief, are you seeing this?

[tense music]

Needle's off the scale!

We have to blow main ballast tanks!

Do it, Chief!

[Chief groaning]

We're still going down!

Ballast tanks are bone dry!

I'm 0onna try the trim tanks!

Come on , come on, come on !

She's going up! She's going up!

Mr Tyler, we're coming up.

But I've Iost control of the ballast tanks.

I can't stop our ascent.

Where are we with the ctern torpedo?

Piping's dama0ed .

There's a break in the air Iine,
so there's no preccure to launch the torpedo.

I tried to bypass the Ieak,
but it's way back in the bilge underwater.

And there's no way to reach it. I can't fit.

-Can comebody else 0et to it?
-l don't know.

Maybe somebody smaller.

That'c Rabbit or Trigger.

[Eddie] Coming up on 20Ü metres.

You gotta pick one.

-Trigger.
-Trigger.

Lay aff with Tank.

Move it, son .

You got a job to do.

See, here we got no air pressure
to fire the torpedo.

One of these pipes is busted
and it's leaking air.

How am I gonna find it?

You'll see bubbles coming out. A Iot of them.

Find the isolation valve aft of the Ieak
and crank it down .

-Got it?
-Yeah .

I rig0ed this hose,
so you can breathe through it.

Now Iisten to me.
Ac soon as you finish , you get out of there.

-Okay?
-Yeah .

[daunting music]

I can hear her.

Making slow turns.

She just stopped her screws.

I think they see the debris.

I think they're buying it.

1 -8-0 metres.

Chief, can you slow our ascent some?
We are not ready.

Can't, sir.

We got a one-way ticket topside.

If we surface without a torpedo to fire,
we're dead .

There's two air Ieaks.

I got one, but the other one's way in the back.

I need some more slack on the hose to get to it.

-That's all there is.
-Shit!

1 -5-0 metres.

[tapping]

I hear Morse code.

What the hell is it? Are they signalling us?

What's it caying, Wentz?

"I am U-571 . Destroy me."

Coming up on 9-0 metres.

Sir, she's started her engines again .

[distant rumbling]

[sonar bleeps]

[Tank] No go, Mr tyler. He can 't reach.

[sonar bleeps]

Trigger, in one minute we're gonna hit
the surface. Do you understand me?

Now, you've got to go back in there and try.

I wouldn't ask you,
if our lives didn't depend on it.

-I'm sorry, sir. l can't reach it.
-No, no, Trig9er. Now Iisten to me.

You can reach it, and you will .

Now you are gonna close that valve.

-But I can't! I can't do it!
-You're the only chance we've got!

Now you're gonna go back down in that bil9e,

and you're gonna do your job, sailor.

[tense music]

Report to me the instant
that torpedo'c ready to fire.

Yes, sir.

30 metres.

-Talk to me, Wentz.
-Destroyer ic under way.

Steady bearing. They're closing our position .

Shit! Come on, Trigger!

20 metres.

Hold on . We're gonna surface.

Raising scope.

[scope whirs]

[tense music]

Got her.

She's heading right for us.

-Helm, come right ten degrees.
-Helm , come right ten degrees. Aye, sir!

-Watch your bow planes.
-Aye, sir. Watching my bow planec.

Tank, start the diesel . All ahead full!

Port diesel ahead full !

Shit! They've 0ot us bracketed .

I ncoming!

We're hit! We're hit!

-Wentz, get in here!
-Eddie, secure that hatch!

Tube still not ready!

-Request permission to abandon ship!
-Not yet, Chief.

[rousing music]

Control , aft torpedo tube ready in all respects!

Hold us right there, Rabbit.
Hold us steady right here.

Steady on bearing 80 de9rees, sir!

Fire!

Tank, fire right now or we die!

Okay, come on, come on .

[in German] They fired a torpedo!

[indistinct shouting]

[alarm blaring]

That blew them right in half.

[sombre mucic]

Hell , Mr Tyler, if you ever need a chief,

I'd go to sea with you anytime.

Thank you, Chief.

Tank, you okay?

Trigger drowned .

The kid didn't give up, did he?

Neither did you , Mr Tyler.

We can't keep her afloat much longer, sir.

Let's abandon ship.

[bittersweet music]

Mr Tyler. Sir.

[upliffing music]
