Commander Travis.

Commander.

Admiral.

Gentlemen, in 1943 His Majesty's submarine Scorpion,...

Leftenant Commander William Basquine and 39 hands...

was lost in the Baltic Sea...

presumed sunk by German destroyers.

Why are we looking at a boat...

that's been dead for 40 years, commander?

This was taken this morning.

It's the Scorpion.

She surfaced in the path of a Russian merchant vessel.

Whitor's smothering that particular...

diplomatic incident right now.

She's still seaworthy?

Yes, but she doesn't respond to radio,...

and there are no signs of life.

Question is, gentlemen,...

where has she been for the past 38 years?

She just surfaced?

Out of nowhere, yes sir.

And what do you think, commander?

I think we got one back, sir.

Never happened before.

No.

And we have a survivor.

And today, an international incident...

was caused by a British submarine in the Baltic Sea.

Apparently, she surfaced in the path of a...

Russian merchant vessel in, what the Russian Embassy...

is referring to as a deliberate provocation.

The British Admiral Nealy is calling the incident...

a training exercise went wrong, and the submarine,...

which appears to be an obsolete type,...

is now being escorted back to port in Scotland.

Celebrations following the wedding of...

Prince Charles and Lady Diana s--

Professor Hardy?

Buy me a drink first.

I'm sorry?

Well, if you're gonna waste my time,...

the least you can do is to buy me a drink.

How do you know I'm gonna waste your time...

if you don't even know who I am?

You're British Naval Intelligence,...

senior position I'd say.

Well, commander?

And you've flown all the way over here...

to the middle of nowhere...

because the Scorpion has come back,...

and you want me to help you.

You're doing unnervingly well so far.

Yes, well, you'll have read my medical reports,...

and you'll know I can't remember anything at all...

about this stuff.

The amnesia? Yeah, I heard.

So, why do you bother?

When I've made up my mind, professor,...

I don't give up just because of some doctor's report.

This whole thing is riddled with secrets and contradictions,...

and you can help me solve them. I can feel it.

So, what I'm asking for is half an hour of your time...

to help convince you of that fact.

I don't think you understand, commander.

This is my life, now.

I'm not going anywhere.

Half an hour, that's all I'm asking.

Look, this is pointless.

Half an hour. If you still think that,...

you can tell me to go to Hell,...

and I'll walk away, I swear it.

Just come and take a look at her, ay?

That's all. Just a look.

See what you think. See how you feel.

Nothing more.

Alright, go on. Talk away, commander,...

but I'm not coming with you.

Professor?

What're all these?

They're body-bags.

Nope.

Is there a problem?

We can't get in.

It could be a pressure differential.

We could get an acetylene torch and cut our way in.

Well, don't be an idiot.

Look at her. She's perfect.

Don't start cutting her open.

Let me try.

What the hell?

Sir, wait!

It's clean!

Right, okay.

Stand down, medical team.

What does that mean?

No bodies, remains...

Nothing.

Hello, captain.

What the bloody hell is wrong with you, Hardy?

Get to your post!

Excellent.

This is impossible.

There's practically no degradation here.

The constructs are all good.

What's our battery status?

In the green.

Circuit breaker's open, but there's juice in the cells.

You just couldn't keep away.

Something like that.

Amazing.

I don't know where she's been,...

but she's not been at the bottom of the sea.

This would've been your berth, hm?

Yeah.

Alright, now you've got me here.

What is it you want?

Help me solve a 40 year old mystery.

The Scorpion went down in an area of the Baltic...

known to Naval Intelligence as Region B.

Ordinary sailors have another name for it.

They call it the Devil's Triangle of the North.

Yes, I know. I've heard.

I always thought that was a bit of a sea story.

She isn't the first vessel we've lost in those waters.

So, you want to find out what happened to them?

The Scorpion's the first one we've gotten back.

We need to find out where she's been,...

why she's here now.

That's our mission.

We're going to retrace her original passage step-by-step,...

find out what happened in '43.

Well, you follow Basquine's course that...

managed to get him and his crew killed.

Who am I to stop you?

But, don't get me involved.

We need you.

You certainly don't.

You've got his orders and you've got his log book.

You don't need me.

It's not quite that simple.

This is Leftenant Commander Basquine's...

log entry for the 17th of December, 1943.

It's the final entry.

The log stops on the 17th.

You, Professor, were pulled out...

of the Baltic Sea on the 20th.

There are three days missing from this log.

I'm sorry, Commander, I can't remember...

your last three days.

I can't remember the last week of the voyage.

In fact, I don't remember being pulled out...

of the water by the Germans.

But, once you're on board and we're underway,...

who knows what'll come back to you?

Commander, I don't--

I need to know why the Scorpion...

was miles outside our operating area when she went down,...

and you need to know what happened in those last days.

How you came to be the only person...

to get off that boat alive.

The sole survivor.

Everyone gone but you.

How do you feel about that, Professor?

I know I'd feel as guilty as hell.

Commander. Nathan Byrnes.

I gather you need a captain for your boat.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander.

This is Captain Lyle from our...

support vessel, the Oakland.

Sir.

Briefing room's this way, gentlemen.

Sir.

Naval Intelligence will be handling...

the mission level considerations?

Yes, I'll be on board as your second-in-command.

I served in an S-Class before I took the desk job,...

so I do know the ropes.

The Oakland will be following,...

monitoring for anything unusual.

What emergency procedures do you have in place?

We're equipped for search and rescue,...

and deep-water evacuation,...

but let's be clear, Captain.

You're in a 40 year old boat and you're heading...

for waters the Soviets now consider...

to be their territory.

If you get into trouble, you're on your own.

Understood.

This man,...

Hardy,...

hasn't been on a submarine since World War Two,...

and his academic career has been, shall we say,...

erratic since his wife died.

I know he's your sole survivor, but do you really think...

he's stable enough for this mission?

Unstable is where we want him.

Stable, he can't help us because...

he doesn't remember anything useful.

Perhaps if he's unstable, something will shake...

loose in his head.

Then, we'll get the answers we need.

Remind me never to make an enemy of you, Commander.

And this man,...

Cassidy?

She's not holding a charge.

Increase the current again.

I wouldn't do that, if I were you.

If you overload the battery from a charging unit,...

it might start venting chlorine gas below decks.

Very nasty.

How do you know that?

I'm sorry, I'm Allen Cassidy.

I helped build this boat back in the '40s.

I never thought I'd see it again,...

let alone sail in it.

All those men, Hardy.

Comrades, friends,...

all gone.

Don't you want to find out what happened to them?

Don't you want answers?

Alright. Count me in.

Decent turn of speed for a boat that age.

How's she looking?

Submarine opened up for diving, sir.

Very good.

Raise periscope.

Raise periscope!

Moment of truth, gentlemen.

Officer of the watch Captain, dive submarine.

Dive the submarine! Aye aye, sir!

Press the clutch in twice!

Press the clutch in twice!

Main metal open, sir.

Very good.

Will hoist pipes, cogs show.

10 down, keep 130 feet, steer zero two zero.

Steer zero two zero.

Up to two clocks, two clicks, two picks.

Very good.

On course zero two zero.

Dive point marked on the chart sir.

Very good.

Have a rescue crew standing by just in case.

Aye, sir.

Post diving checks?

All mechanical, electrical checks correct.

All hatches dry. Submarine in trek.

Shut main vents.

Shut main vents.

Aye aye, sir.

All well?

All main vents...

indicating shut, sir.

Very good.

Oh the peas is bloody good.

Mind if I join you?

By all means, Professor.

Please, call me Jack, that'll be fine.

Alright, Jack.

I'm Allen Cassidy, Naval Constructor.

I helped build this heap.

I've never sailed in a sub before,...

but they've made me chief engineer for this trip.

I see.

Lieutenant Redding, sir.

It's an honor to meet you.

Me too, let's eat.

I'm Navigating Officer.

Oh yeah?

That was your job, wasn't it?

Yes, yes, yes it was.

Red watch, one hour.

And, you were in the boat when she went down?

The men who were in the boat when she went down...

went down with her, Leftenant.

As I am here, clearly, I wasn't amongst them.

Now you know as much as I do.

Which watch have you got?

The next one, sir.

I thought I might have a look around the boat, sir?

Do you mind if I join you?

No, sir.

All I'm sayin' is the further north we go...

the more chance there is we're gonna...

run into one of those bastards.

I mean, this is a bloody Soviet hunting ground, this is.

Right, y'know?

Are you listenin' to me?

You're too right.

I mean, "I say, Ivan, we're on a...

historical research mission.

Would you mind terribly stepping aside?

There's a good chap,".

And guys, take a look at this.

Oh, that's more like it!

What's it doin' here?

Every boat's got one.

It's like a kind of battling sign, you know?

It comes from some Admiral back in the early days.

Didn't like these new-fangled submarine ships,...

not the gentleman's way to fight a war, see?

Far too sneaky and underhand.

Yeah. Not much better than pirates, he says.

So, they said, "Alright. Well, if we are pirates,...

we'll have a bloody flag to prove it,".

Every boat's got it's own flag.

So what are these?

Kills.

Boats she sunk.

Every time you scored a kill, add it to the flag.

Nicely on track.

Captain Basquin came up right...

Here. Standby to surface.

Standby to surface. Aye aye, sir.

Go to red lighting.

This is the captain.

Diving stations, diving stations standby to surface.

Oh, well, he's five minutes early.

Early for what?

Well, we never used to surface until 20 hundred hours...

to the second.

Why was that, sir?

Call me Jack, will 'ya please?

That was because that's the way...

that captain Basquine wanted it.

You just didn't ask questions.

That's what's so cool about this mission.

It's like being a part of living history.

Well, you be careful young man.

I served on this boat.

You call me living history and you're in deep odor.

Sir.

Monroe.

Yeah, it's looking good, Dave.

Really nice.

Officer LeWatch, surface the submarine.

Surface the submarine. Aye aye, sir.

Panel blow main ballast forward and aft.

Aye aye, sir.

Planes for both planes for full rise.

Both planes to full rise, sir.

Hot-hay together.

No response, captain.

Say again?

There's no response on the planes either.

Continuing on previous depth.

Stop blowing on all main ballast.

Blow forward main ballast tanks again.

Blow forward, aye sir.

Aye aye, sir.

Still no response, Captain.

Blow all main ballast, let's get this...

bloody boat on the surface.

Blowing on all main ballast, sir.

So, why aren't we going up?

Sir?

Hm?

Isn't this a bit risky?

Oh, yeah, well,...

"Always have one on the ready," he used to say.

Captain Basquine again?

Yeah.

Real fighting captain, him?

Well, you could put it like that.

Basquine used to say that the crew...

and the boat made the weapon.

The fault in one, compromised the other.

Planes still aren't answering sir.

Damn it, what the hell is wrong with her?

We're moving!

Brace yourselves! Hold on!

Ah!

Please! Down here!

What the hell's all the noise in there?

He's dead.

We should contact the Oakland...

and transfer Redding's body.

Sir, I don't think that's wise.

It would mean stopping the boat,...

deviating from the mission.

We can't do that.

And, in any case, we shouldn't break radio silence...

unless it's an emergency.

- This is an emergency. - Is it really?

It's one man, captain.

It's regrettable, but it's still one man.

The crew won't like continuing with a dead man on board.

They'll have to live with it!

Well, we have used the aft torpedo chip.

It's big enough to take a body and the ambient...

water temperature is about the same...

as the inside of a fridge.

But, shouldn't we be trying to get him back to the Oakland...

so that they can fly him back to his family?

I'm afraid that's not an option.

Are you alright?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This leaves us without a Navigation Officer.

I've got men who could fill the post,...

but that means double watches.

You know the boat. You know the area,...

you've been here before.

I'm an advisor remember? That's all.

Then, perhaps, you could advise us...

on navigation for a while?

Carrying a guy in a torpedo chip.

That's sick. That's not right.

He's dead, what's he care?

Better than the fridge.

Thought about enough without finding bits...

of officer in your burger.

This is all bad if you ask me.

You know where we're headed, right?

Skagerrak.

No, not that. I mean the mission.

The real mission.

A mate of mine was doin' duty on a supply ship...

six years back up by the Arctic Circle,...

and one of the frigates in the battle group...

was having trouble with it's nav-sat system,...

so they were told to accompany it back to port.

They'd run into fog. Heavy.

My mate said there was somethin' about this fog that was...

That was what?

Their navigational lights and their electrics went down,...

radar, ESM, everything.

There was a lot of electrical interference,...

Tom said electrostatic.

Storm got worse.

He said it wasn't like anything he'd seen, he said.

It was like the sea was on fire.

When the fog lifted, they got comms back on...

and went to look for the frigate.

Never found it.

We'll that's bullocks.

The official line was she made it to Sweden,...

docked in, no harm done,...

but they broke that battle group up.

Redistributed everyone.

Tom ended up in the far east.

Yeah.

Like Bermuda.

We'd all lose ships,...

planes, sorts the yanks have lost there.

Just like that.

They call that the Devil's Triangle.

Seems right.

Leftenant Hardy,...

Captain wants to see you.

Hey, chief, what're you doing?

Trying to find the reason we couldn't surface.

It has to be hydraulics.

There's an electrical problem, too.

Even the intercom's on the blink, try it.

Control, noter on, Professor Hardy, comms check, over.

This is the ink-ball room.

We're routing you to the submarine elite.

See what I mean?

Although, I think the problem's not fundamental.

Let's have a look at the batteries.

Yeah, alright.

Diving stations.

Diving Stations.

Watch your step, Jack.

Woah.

Oh, that's pretty nasty isn't it?

Yeah.

You know, when we were testing this lassie,...

one of the cells over-pressurized...

and blew acid all over a kid.

It's a horrible way to die, believe me.

So, don't touch anything, Jack, will 'ya?

No, I won't.

How many more?

How do you mean?

Well, how many more men died building this boat...

before it went in the water?

Well, there's always accidents...

when you're building a boat.

A few men died.

I know, but more than usual, would you say?

Yes, you're right.

In fact, this boat has a bit of a reputation.

But how did you know that?

Just an unlucky guess.

Westing, could you get me a cup of coffee?

Coming right up, sir.

Three days...

What were you doing, Captain?

What were you thinking?

Come in.

What are we gonna do about Hardy, captain?

Jonah.

What did you say?

What did you just call me?

What's your game?

What the hell did you call me,...

god damn it, out with it!

What are you talkin' about?

- You blame me don't you? - Jack!

You blame me for it! Blame you for what, sir?

- You know what for! - What are you talkin' about?

- Jack! - Get off me!

For God's sake, Jack.

I don't--

I don't know, I'm sorry.

I thought that... What the hell...

is going on here?

Nothing, Chief.

The boat's full of this stuff.

We're just tryin' to get into the spirit of things.

I'm sorry, I thought--

Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry about it.

It's okay, it's alright.

It's not okay. It's not fine.

Captain's in the control room if you're looking for him.

No, I was looking for you.

What is it?

I've gotta get off this boat.

What?

Look, I thought it was under control,...

but it's not.

I've just attacked a man for something...

that happened 40 bloody years ago,...

and I can't even remember what it was about.

Woah, woah, woah, slow down, Jack.

Tell me what happened.

I keep on seeing things,...

I keep hearing things.

Things from the past?

Yes.

That's good news, Jack.

That's what we hoped would happen.

Familiar procedures, familiar surroundings,...

it's all helping to shake things loose.

These are not memories, Commander.

These are things that are happening to people...

now on this boat. They're changing somehow.

They're changing right before my eyes.

No.

It's memory coming back.

Coming back forcibly maybe, but they're...

just memories Jack, they can't harm you.

You haven't got a bloody idea...

what I'm talking about, have you?

This is different, and I'm telling you,...

you're gonna get me off this boat...

before something serious happens.

You're telling me what to do, Leftenant?

No, all I'm saying is.

You have quite a history...

of telling me my duty, don't you?

Your request for transfer is denied.

Questioning orders.

What?

You will stay with this boat, this crew,...

until I decide otherwise.

Sir, please.

Your problems are not my concern.

I'm in charge of this submarine, Leftenant.

You'll stay with this boat, this crew,...

until I decide otherwise. Request denied.

Jack?

Jack, you alright?

Yes, I'm sorry, I--

Excuse me, sir.

The captain needs you in the control room.

What is it?

We've lost contact with the Oakland, sir.

Come on, where are you?

What can you see?

Surface conditions are poor.

Can't see a damn thing.

No navigation lights, that's for sure.

Sonar report?

Still nothing, sir.

When you lost contact,...

did it fade out gradually or stop suddenly?

It was sudden, sir.

She was there one minute and then she was gone.

What, as if they've gone quiet on us?

Well, I suppose so, sir.

Jack.

What?

Why would the Oakland go quiet on us?

She wouldn't.

Stop port, slanted starboard.

Stop port, slanted starboard.

Stop port, slanted starboard.

This is not a routine.

Port stop, starboard--

All hands, this is not a routine.

This is not a routine.

Sir. I've got nothing.

No engine noise. No screws.

We've lost 'er.

Check for any transmission, will you?

Sir, I'm getting transmission in the UHF band.

Let's hear it.

Sir!

There's something in the short wave band.

Let's hear it.

Put it on speaker.

Sir.

Sound's like we've picked up a gem...

on the oldies station, Captain.

It's on a military frequency, sir.

You can't be serious.

Of course, I'm serious.

Losing the Oakland is a setback, I agree,...

but in the final analysis, it doesn't...

effect our mission status.

This doesn't effect our mission status?

We're heading into Soviet waters without a support vessel!

It doesn't matter!

We have a firing exercise scheduled,...

and then a steady run to our next course change.

We are going to follow Captain Basquine's log to the letter,...

and that will take us to what we're looking for,...

and that, Captain, is all that matters.

Very well.

Officer of the Watch, go to action stations.

Action stations, aye aye, sir.

Shut off for attack.

Action stations, action stations, shut off for attack.

What's happening, sir?

Firing exercise is a-go.

Firing exercise is a-go, aye aye, sir.

Come on, lads! To your stations!

Come on, then! This is what you trained for!

Get ready tubes one and two!

Let's hit our money!

Gentlemen, this is the captain.

We're now going to proceed with the firing exercise,...

as planned.

We're simulating the incident when...

Captain Basquine engaged and sank...

an enemy submarine at exactly this time...

38 years ago.

For this exercise, we'll be using practice Mark-A's.

Rig one and two, tubes the weapons,...

ready to state one.

Rigging one and two tubes...

ready to state one.

Flood and equalize one and two tubes.

Tube one equalized.

Tube two equalized.

Rodger tubes.

Air pressure equalized, one and two tubes charged.

What's your air pressure?

One and two tubes, bow caps closed, in-is-in.

Rodger.

Sonar report?

No contact, sir.

250 gallons after port.

Ten minutes.

Very good.

Revolutions eight zero 10 down, keep 90 feet.

Revolutions eight zero.

10 down, keep 90 feet.

Send down 90.

So, now I'm gonna see how Basquine did things?

I don't think a practice shot...

is gonna do Basquine any justice.

90 feet, sir. Eight knots.

Hang on. Hang on!

What is it, Monroe?

I thought I heard something, sir.

Cavitation noises. Very faint.

You reported no contacts a moment ago.

I know, sir. It was faint, maybe a glitch.

I keep getting static in these earphones.

Captain, it could be this electrical...

faulty chip wired and threw most systems.

Sonar, what do you hear?

Nothing now, sir.

If it's not the electrics...

If it's a Russian attack submarine,...

what happens exactly?

They play a little Cold War game.

What's the ante?

Pride basically. It's the first boat to ping...

the other on active sonar wins.

Effectively, it's just like saying...

if this was for real, we've gotcha.

So nobody actually does anything?

No. Not that we've ever heard of. No.

Well, that's reassuring.

Sonar, report?

No contact, sir.

Could've been just a glitch.

Very good.

Bring us to periscope depth and prepare--

Contact, sir, I have contact!

Bearing one, nine, zero.

Medium loud. Bearing moving fast left.

Classify!

Classified possible enemy submarine.

Damn it, full ahead together.

Full ahead together.

Keep 90 feet, Starboard 30, steer three zero zero.

Steer three zero zero.

Where the hell did he come from?

Someone's out there.

I have strong signature, green, one seven five.

Medium loud and increasing.

Contact is now at...

one two zero revolutions.

He's got us.

Cut the chatter.

Damn it.

How did he get right on our tail?

Has he got us?

Looks like it, sir. He's moving in.

We've got to get above him.

Full rise, both planes, port 20, steer one seven five,...

go to periscope depth.

Steer one seven five, full rise on both planes.

Both planes rising.

Coming to course one seven five.

It's nearly time.

Coming to periscope depth sir.

Very good, raise periscope.

Raise periscope.

Sonar, where is he?

Contact bearing one nine five.

One nine five.

Sir, he's turned with us!

Depth change.

He's coming up. He's coming up!

He must be getting into a firing position.

Oh shit.

Captain! He's fucking tubes!

He's doing what?

Say again?

Sir, he's got torpedoes loaded.

Forret torpedo control, what's your status?

What happened to the bloody game?

I don't think he's playing a bloody game.

Fire control four ins, one and two tubes...

are in the action states.

Forret torpedo closed up and awaiting orders.

Tell them to stand by.

Stand by.

What are they waiting for?

Fire control target set up.

What are you doing?

Quiet Leftenant.

Target set up on what?

That's a nuclear submarine you're pissing about with.

If you shoot, he won't know you're using...

practice weapons.

He'll blow us clean out of the water.

Opening one and two tube bow caps.

Bow caps moving.

Bow caps are open in-out, tube is ready.

Forrets report one and two tube bow caps open.

Captain, we're under attack.

What the...

We need to respond.

How?

This is over, Commander, and you know it.

No sir, I don't think so.

We must complete the firing drill.

Bugger the drill.

Forret torpedo on sta-- Sir, enemy contact...

has opened bow caps.

He's preparing to fire!

Do it. Do your job, Captain.

What's wrong with you?

This has gone far enough.

Stand down.

Control four ends one and two tubes ready to fire.

Torpedo awaiting orders, Captain.

Don't let him fire.

Tell them, "Do not fire.", Leftenant.

Sir?

I said do not fire.

Do not fire.

Say again control.

Do fire.

Fire one!

Firing one!

Fire two.

Firing two!

Once started. Sixty seconds to ram.

What the hell was that?

Tubes one and two launched, sir.

Who gave that order? Damn it, who gave that order?

What is going on, Jack?

We've just fired our torpedoes.

- Fifty seconds. - They're practice units.

Yeah, but the Soviet doesn't know that does he?

He's active on us!

40 seconds.

Two contacts fast revolutions.

Confirm inbound active torpedoes.

30 seconds.

Intentity.

Closing fast, sir.

Right ahead!

Crest five, go deep, periscope down.

Going deep! Aye aye sir!

They're almost on top of us!

20 seconds.

- They've passed us. - 50 feet.

They didn't acquire.

Our torpedoes?

10 seconds to ram.

My God.

- Five seconds. - Target going deep.

80 feet. Too late.

Bullseye, boys!

That's one for the piccadilly!

Sonar report.

Sir, he's breaking up.

Score one for the Royal Navy.

Belay that!

Standby to surface.

Standby to surface, aye aye, sir.

Prepare t--

Prepare to search for survivors.

Permission to go forage, sir?

Yes.

What the hell just happened?

I think the boys deserve...

a little tort, eh chief?

Go for it, Dave.

These are live warhead weapons.

I supervised the loading myself...

and they were practice heads.

Are you sure?

I loaded them myself,...

and now they're live,...

and we've just sunk a Soviet attack boat with them.

Perhaps.

On the original mission, we attacked and destroyed...

an enemy submarine at exactly this point.

The same place, the same time.

Don't you think that's a huge coincidence?

You're right, it is.

I think that maybe the past is breaking through.

My God, Jack, what does that mean?

Forret torpedo report control, status report.

This is Cassidy.

They are not practice units.

We are loaded with live torpedoes.

I say again, we are loaded with live torpedoes.

Live torpedoes?

What the hell have we done?

Our duty.

They came for us, sir.

This isn't part of your mission anymore, Commander.

This is us fighting a war down here...

with no authorization whatsoever.

Men are dead because of us.

Blew tanks and take us to the surface, stop together.

Surface the boat, stop together.

Captain!

No, Commander, this is how wars are started.

We have to end it...

while we can.

See anything?

Nothing, sir.

There's nothing out there.

That's impossible.

Give me the specs.

What if we sank her, sir?

Yeah. There's always something that floats up.

Always.

Domestic routine. Domestic routine.

All hands dispatch.

Well, Tim?

No.

No survivors.

Good. That'll teach the...

bosses to come gunnin' for this poke.

You're kidding?

What is the matter with you?

We've just killed people.

Don't you get it?

You sound like the captain.

Look for survivors, my ass.

Let 'em sink.

Jesus.

Dave?

Spot on about the captain though.

I mean, who else thinks he's a long streak of piss?

His heart's not in it, that's the problem.

Too much by the book, not enough by the balls.

What about Travis, though?

Well, he knows what it's about.

He's not afraid to go for the main chance, eh Tim?

Tim?

Yeah.

Yeah maybe.

All I'm saying is, the Soviets find out...

what's just happened, we'll have a fleet of 'em...

on our tail in no time.

Are you mad, or what?

What do the bloody Soviet's got to do with anything?

Go and get some grub, Tim.

Have you got anything?

Aye, It's this bloody electrical fault.

I can't track it down and it seems to be spreading.

I thought I had it before--

Are you alright, sir?

That's what happened.

That's what happened.

He's dead.

What's the matter, Jack?

Are you alright?

That explains it.

That explains everything.

Woah, easy.

We must call this off.

We no longer have contact with the Oakland.

You're forgetting, Captain, th--

I killed a man.

That's why they wouldn't listen to me...

when I told them to turn the boat around.

I was a bloody jonah.

No one would listen to anything I had to say.

You remember being implicated in a death?

Implicated my ass.

I stood up at firing sequence.

I killed a man as surely as if I'd put a gun to his face.

Tell me what happened.

Basquine had me firing water shots...

to test the tubes.

It was a simple exercise, and I got it wrong.

I fired tube number two when the bow cap door was shut.

The inner door flew back and it killed him.

I killed him.

But, you said it was a simple exercise, Jack.

How did you make a mistake?

Are you alright, sir?

Because I was tired. I couldn't see straight.

Why were you tired?

Because I hadn't slept.

I hadn't slept for days.

Why hadn't you slept?

What the bloody hell is wrong with you, Hardy?

Get to your post!

Because I was on watch and watch about.

Watch and watch about?

Well, that's a punishment.

Watch and watch about is an irresponsible punishment.

An exhausted officer is no good to the boat or the crew.

It's a simple exercise.

I could've done it in my sleep,...

but I killed him. I killed a man.

You two knew.

You knew that,...

and you didn't tell me? Why?

It was considered more important, Jack,...

that you retrieved the memory yourself.

It was considered by whom?

By me.

Because you needed me for the mission?

Yes.

This isn't just about finding out what happened...

40 years ago, is it?

What are you chasing?

What's so important that men are dying for it?

Alright.

Alright, Professor.

You're a scientist.

You tell me if this is important.

Whatever took the Scorpion when you served on her...

has seen fit to deliver her back to us...

38 years after she disappeared.

38 years in the outside world, but on board...

it's been no time at all.

Systems fully functional.

Batteries charged and ready.

I think Captain Basquine stumbled into something...

up in the Devil's Triangle and his boat was moved.

Displaced. Delivered from one time and place then,...

to another time and place now.

Imagine what kind of power it would take...

to do that to a vessel.

Then imagine the strategic implications...

if you could be the first to control that power.

We could win the Cold War right now.

A weapon.

That's our mission.

We have to find out, Jack.

We have to.

The possibilities are limitless.

So, you're going to drive the Scorpion back...

to where she sank originally,...

and killed all the men aboard?

Even if you find your bloody phenomenon,...

what on God's Earth makes you think you can control it?

This has gone far enough.

It stops right here.

I can't allow that, sir.

I don't believe you have a choice.

Naval Inelegance may be running the show,...

but I'm still the captain of this boat,...

and I outrank you, Commander.

You can convene a court martial on our return, if you wish.

Hard luck.

What else aren't you telling me?

Radar, signal sweep?

No contact, sir.

Very good.

18th?

This is the captain speaking.

I'm sorry to tell you, the mission is over.

What's he mean? We've just scored the kill.

It was our intention to follow...

Scorpion's original course set in 1943,...

but due to our recent engagement...

with an enemy submarine, this will no longer be possible.

We will deploy an emergency signal buoy,...

and wait further instructions on central command.

Stay in your positions. That's all.

Is the signal buoy ready?

Not quite ready yet, sir.

Captain, I have green dot contacts inbound!

Surface contact?

No sir, they're aircraft bearing...

one four zero.

What's the count?

I count three contacts bearing steady.

Do we have radio contact?

No, sir.

Right, then we'll signal from the gun-deck.

Mister Tyler, you have the control room.

I have the control room.

Commander.

Tyler, delay deploying that signal buoy for the moment.

Let's do the air first.

Aye aye, sir.

I can see them.

Leftenant, what are you doing here?

Who's been writing in the log?

Who's been giving the orders to fire torpedoes?

Who is in command, here?

Here they come.

Those are single prop aircraft, Commander.

So?

They're German.

So, we're 60 miles out to sea.

What are they doing this far out?

Hopefully reporting our position.

They're German.

That's not possible.

We have to get below, Captain.

Jack, did you see what I just saw?

Yes.

We have to dive the boat!

This can't be real.

Get below, sir.

That's an order.

We have to signal.

We have enemy aircraft incoming, Captain!

We're not at war!

We have to get down now!

What about the captain?

He's gone.

They'll be back for another pass, Leftenant.

Are you coming or not?

Ship control, dive the submarine!

Sir.

Full ahead together!

Full together!

Full ahead nine, both planes!

20 feet.

50.

Do you hear that?

70 feet.

This is Commander Travis speaking.

80.

We have just been attacked by an aircraft.

Captain Byrnes is dead.

I'm assuming command of the boat forthwith.

100 feet, sir.

Right now, I need you all on your toes.

We're not out of the water just yet.

120.

The enemy's out there.

He's all around us.

130 feet, sir.

What he doesn't know is,...

we're coming for him.

Yes!

Now we're in business.

Get the covers off, make it up to spec.

Oy! Get moving!

Keep 120 feet.

120.

Zero four five.

The enemy's out there and we're coming for him?

Welcome to World War Two.
