Two, six, heave!

Two, six, heave!

Two, six, heave!

Weapon contact.

Roger contact.

Get it moved, Tim!

Come on, Tim.

Two, six, heave!

Two, six, heave!

Two, six, heave!

Keep it up!

Come on, son, quicker, quicker.

That was 10 seconds over time.

Oh, shit.

Come on, lads, you can do better than that.

Jerry is not going to wait for you.

Jerry?

Engine room, Control.

Mr. Cassidy, take a team topside and check for hull damage.

Aye aye, sir.

The hull side clear, sir.

What happened up here, Jack?

Travis was standing here.

He ordered Byrnes below.

He had a gun.

A gun?

Yes, that's when the planes attacked.

They came in high over there.

They started to strafe us, I ducked down here.

Then when I looked up, it had happened.

The next thing I knew, the Captain had been hit,...

and he'd gone overboard.

If they'd strafed us, this whole area would be covered...

with bullet damage, but it's not!

Unless they managed to miss the entire deck...

and hit the one man standing on it.

Or unless.

Travis?

Exactly.

Do you hear there?

This is the Captain.

We've been attacked, gentlemen.

In the midst of all this confusion and uncertainty,...

that's the one solid fact I can offer you.

We have enemies out there who want us dead.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

But I'll tell you this also.

We will fight back.

Captain Byrnes' death will be avenged.

We are not going to slink away from our duty.

We are going to complete this mission!

And if anyone stands in our path, let us teach them...

the name of Scorpion in fire and fury!

Ah, Mr. Hardy.

We're coming up to this heading,...

and I'd appreciate your thoughts on run times...

and depth changes beyond these shoals.

We'll be heading nor-nor-east past this point.

I'll be in my cabin, when you're ready.

Mr. Tyler, you've got the submarine.

Maintain present course and speed.

Aye aye, sir.

What's he up to?

What d'you mean?

Well, nor-nor-east past the shoals.

That puts us pretty deep in enemy waters.

They attacked us.

They killed Captain Byrnes.

You heard what he said.

It's time to each them a lesson.

In fury and.

Fire and fury.

I'll wager that's exactly what the Captain has in mind.

Lieutenant?

What do you think he's up to?

You should know.

You've served with him before.

No, I've never served with him before.

In fact, I'd never met him before two weeks ago.

Sir, I've got something.

Inbound contacts, intermittent.

Classify.

It's aircraft again, sir.

Looks like three of them, maybe a bit bigger this time.

Idiots, if they think they're gonna catch us...

the same way again.

Press the klaxon twice.

Diving stations, diving stations.

You said inbound aircraft.

Yes, sir, but they aren't gonna see us if we dive.

And even if they did.

No, no, wait, wait, please!

It's not safe!

They've got depth charges!

It happened before!

They're not fighters!

They're anti-submarine aircraft!

And there's something else,...

there's something that we mustn't do.

Something splashed!

I've got surface impact close in on us.

Report!

Attacking aircraft, sir, depth charges.

Move!

Get over here!

Shut the bulkhead doors!

Come on, let's go, come on!

Come on, move, move, move, move, move, move.

Go to 140 feet, no, 150 feet!

Go to 140 feet, no, 150 feet!

Belay that order, maintain your depth!

Spender, take us deep, right now!

Belay that order!

I said belay that order!

Get him off there!

Get that man off the controls!

No, let me go!

Go to 150 feet!

150 feet!

80 feet.

100 feet, sir.

That was a direct order you disobeyed, Lieutenant Hardy.

We were sitting ducks, and you kept us there.

110 feet.

The ballast system was about to be overloaded.

It would have blown back and killed him.

120 feet.

You're relieved of your duties, Lieutenant.

Consider yourself confined to the wardroom.

140 feet, sir.

Is everyone all right?

Yes, why?

150 feet, sir.

We're operating under the trim system.

Who gave that order?

Lieutenant Hardy did it, sir.

Then you can thank Lieutenant Hardy for your life.

There's a pressure block on the ballast control pump.

That whole unit would have blown out.

We're working on it,...

but best keep on the trim system for now.

Sir.

Well!

Sound call, then, Lieutenant.

Just as well.

Back to your posts, gentlemen.

Let's put some distance between us and the aircraft.

Report damage.

Report damage, all compartments.

How did you know?

Because I saw it happen.

What, you can see the future now?

No, no, no, I remembered the past.

In 1943, the valve chest blew when we dived,...

killing Richardson and the men at that station.

How did you know it would happen again?

Because it's all happening again.

The submarine that attacked us,...

it attacked us at exactly the same point and time...

as we were attacked by a German U-boat in 1943,...

which we sank.

And the aircraft?

The same, German crosses on the side.

The radio transmissions, the technical fault,...

and now the crew.

The crew?

The crew, they're changing.

They seem to be slipping into the past.

Yeah, I thought it was just the lads having a bit of fun.

But it's not that, though, is it?

Whatever we ran into in 1943

was powerful.

So powerful that it could have shifted the boat...

from then to now.

Something that powerful, to shift the boat,...

think of the effect it could have on the men inside.

So the Scorpion was infected...

by what it went through then?

Yeah.

So every wire, every rivet, every bulkhead,...

is resonating at the 1943 pitch.

And outside?

What's happening in the world outside our world...

of bulkheads and rivets?

I think that...

it's still 1981 out there.

But in here, it's 1943.

Control?

Sir, getting a transmission on the UHF band.

Well, let's hear it.

The Scorpion was engaged...

in battle maneuvers in northern waters,...

when she was detected by German anti-submarine aircraft,...

depth charged and sunk.

There were no survivors.

We take this opportunity to extend our sympathies...

and condolences to the families...

of the ship's company who perished.

Nice to know the enemy propaganda-mongers...

haven't forgotten us.

We've been detected and sunk, have we?

Can't say I noticed.

Well, if it's on the wireless, it must be true.

So, we're a ghost boat now.

Then they certainly won't hear us coming.

Come.

I was rather expecting you, Lieutenant.

What is it?

When was the last time we were...

in communication with the Oakland?

Or anyone else?

What's your point?

My point is we've got no back-up.

We've got no support.

And I think we both know that some of the crew...

are beginning to behave oddly.

And we've got to stop this.

We've got to turn back before anyone else dies.

I've been watching you, Hardy,...

talking with people, spreading these theories of yours,...

undermining the men's confidence.

You've always been a troublemaker,...

but this is something else.

Now this is precious close to mutiny.

The mission will continue.

The mission will be completed.

The mission will be a success.

That's all.

Commander, I must insist.

It's Captain, Lieutenant!

Don't you forget it.

That will be all.

Aye aye Captain.

Captain to the Control Room.

Captain to the Control Room.

ASDlC, report.

Multiple contacts.

Surface vessels dead ahead, sir.

Best guess for range is about four miles.

Classification?

They're all three-bladed screws, sir.

Supply vessels, it's a convoy.

They'll be merchant ships.

They're civilians.

They're supplying the enemy, Lieutenant.

What else would they be doing in these waters?

Trying to sneak in past us.

How many contacts?

I have at least four ships.

Close formation, bearing, moving right.

Excellent.

They're closing range.

Bring the bow tubes to the action state.

Aye aye, sir.

Don't do this.

They're non-combatants.

No, they're targets.

We're going in.

Go to red lights.

Go to red lights.

Dive the submarine.

Chief, have you got a minute?

What is it, Jack?

They've just detected some surface ships.

And in Travis's mind, it's a supply convoy.

Travis, who's Travis?

Travis.

Commander Will Travis.

He took command when Byrnes was killed.

Oh, Travis, yes, I remember.

But why would he attack?

Because he's not Travis any more.

He's Basquine, and he's at war.

And he's going to take out that convoy...

as soon as it comes within range.

Now, that's all very well...

if we were just shooting at ghosts,...

or memories, or just the open sea...

that was in front of our torpedo tubes.

But what happens if there's real ships out there?

A tanker or a trawler?

A bloody Russian frigate?

We're still loaded with live torpedoes!

We'll kill anything that's out there!

My God.

And that's not the worst of it.

Because after the convoy.

After the convoy.

After the convoy what?

Something, oh, sod it, I can't remember,...

but it was part of his great plan.

But I've got a feeling, whatever it was,...

it's gonna be horrific.

Chief?

All right, we'll talk later.

Intensity?

Very loud, sir.

Zero, four, zero.

Open one, two, three, four tube bow caps.

Open one, two, three, four tube bow caps.

Stand by to fire.

Captain William Basquine is dead.

He died in 1943.

You are Will Travis,...

Commander, British Naval lntelligence.

Torpedoes ready, Captain.

This is 1981.

There is no war, there is no enemy.

Now try to remember who you are.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

I know exactly who I am.

Fire one and two tubes.

Fire one and two tubes.

For God's sake, stop all this!

I want him out of here now!

Tubes fired.

No, don't!

Get him off!

Prepare to fire three and four tubes.

Fire three and four tubes.

Three and four tubes fired.

20 seconds.

Service pistol from the army locker right now.

Aye aye, sir.

Yes, beauty.

Chalk up another one.

We have two hits on the lead vessel.

Reload torpedoes.

Reload torpedoes!

Come on, you are making me so proud!

Keep it up!

She's going down, sir.

She's going down.

Mr. Hardy.

I think you should take a look at this.

No war, no enemy?

Then what the hell do you call that?

The boat is letting us see what it wants us to see.

Sir, new contact, turning fast!

Red 10.

I count five blades on twin screws.

It's a destroyer.

Closing in, getting louder.

Two, six, heave.

He has us, sir.

Shit, we've got company.

Two, six, heave!

Port 30, steer two-seven-zero.

Steer two-seven-zero.

It's coming in around 25 knots.

Starboard two degrees.

Two degrees starboard, aye aye.

Fire one and two tubes.

Fire one and two tubes.

Firing one, firing two!

Five seconds.

He's trying to turn away.

You're too late.

Nice shooting.

Two hits!

They're flooding fast below decks.

Bulkheads are popping.

She's going down, sir, she's sinking.

The other convoy ships have scattered, sir.

I have multiple contacts, all running hard and fast.

Let them go.

They won't forget this in a hurry.

We have other things to attend to, gentlemen.

Ship control, new course, down periscope.

Steer due south and make the speed six knots.

10 down, keep 130 feet.

Steer due south, 10 down, six knots, keep 130.

Keep 130.

Steering due south.

Where are you going, Captain?

That doesn't really concern you, Mr. Hardy.

Steering due south takes us...

outside our mission parameters.

I ask you again, where are you taking us?

I don't follow the mission.

I decide the mission.

That's the difference between us, Hardy.

Vision.

I have it, you don't.

That's why I'm in command.

Well, are you going to share this vision...

with the rest of the crew?

Of course.

The crew and the boat make the weapon.

The crew are entitled to know.

And when the time comes, they'll be told.

Unfortunately for you, you're no longer part of that crew.

Lieutenant?

Sir.

Take Mr. Hardy below decks and keep him there.

Yes, sir.

And Lieutenant.

If he tries anything, shoot him.

Yes, sir.

Reeves.

Sir.

Give me a hand.

Take him below decks, take that.

What's going on, sir?

Just do it, Reeves.

Hardy, move.

Open the hatch.

Yes, sir.

Okay, send him down.

Down you go, Jack.

Sit there.

Give me your hand.

Hardy.

This is the Captain.

As of this time, I'm ordering a course change.

It's time to take this fight to the enemy.

As of this time, I'm ordering a course change.

We'll pass through the strait...

between Denmark and Sweden towards Danzig and Konigsberg.

Now known as Kaliningrad.

Where the best part of a German...

battle group is docked for repair.

The Baltic.

We go in, hit them, take out the whole...

supply yards, the whole infrastructure.

Sir, this goes way beyond our operation order.

You don't make the command decisions here,...

Mr. Hardy, I do.

I am the mission.

Listen to me!

If you plow into Kaliningrad with all guns blazing,...

they'll blow you clean out of the water!

You have to listen to me or you're all gonna die!

Keeping the flag up to date, I see?

Aye aye, Captain.

This is the one we killed yesterday.

Well, make sure you leave enough room for the rest.

Are we expecting to see some more action, sir?

By the time this mission's done,...

I hope to see that flag more red than black.

Aye aye, sir.

Carry on.

How's it looking, Chief?

All's good, sir.

Power's steady, all systems are normal.

I bet we could take on any U-boat out there.

Excellent, carry on.

Aye aye, sir.

Gentlemen.

All right.

The sea trench is here on our way in.

We'll feel our way through with our fingertips...

if we have to.

Sir.

No one's gonna stop us this time.

She's holding up well, plenty of amps.

Look after things for a while, will you, Mahoney?

Aye aye, sir.

Give us a tin of pot mess, will you, Jonesy?

Coming right up.

Blimey, mate, it smells half-decent for a change.

What do you mean?

Got an easy number there, haven't you?

Don't shoot yourself, will you?

Hello, Chief.

What have you got there?

Oh, just some food for Mr. Hardy.

Can't let him starve, can we?

No, I suppose not.

Would it be all right if I had a word with him down there?

Yeah, good luck, you won't get much sense.

He sounds bloody stir crazy.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

Need a hand there, sir?

There you go, Chief.

Thanks.

Here you go, Jack.

I thought you might be hungry.

I told you as much, didn't I?

He's been talking to himself and all.

Nonsense, most of it.

I don't know, maybe it's tiredness that's turned his head.

Tiredness?

From being on watch and watch.

You can't keep that up for more than a few days...

without going a bit funny in the head, trust me.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Can you hear me, Jack?

Of course I can hear you.

Question is, who are you?

You see what I mean?

He's Chief Engineer Davis.

You remember him.

Chief Davis?

I'll be back in a minute, Chief.

Be careful.

Is he right?

Are you Davis?

Of course I am, Jack, you know me.

Well, that's it, it's all over.

It's going to happen.

Jack, what's a cold war?

What?

Cold war.

It's been going around in my head, cold war.

I know it doesn't make any sense,...

but I thought you would know.

A cold war is a non-shooting war.

It's a stand-off between two superpowers.

Either one could destroy the world,...

but they're too frightened to shoot.

Now it's been like that since the early '50s,...

up until now.

'50s, till now?

Yes, now, 1981.

I'm not following you, Jack.

Listen to me.

If you're Chief Engineer Davis, how old are you?

26.

26, look at your hands.

Look at them!

My God.

You're not Alastair Davis.

You're Alan Cassidy.

Alan Cassidy.

Yes, Alan Cassidy.

You helped build this boat, not run it.

It's 1981, and the only war is the one...

that Captain Travis is gonna start if we don't stop him!

Travis?

Yes, you're Alan Cassidy.

It's 1981.

And if I don't get out of here, we're all gonna die!

He's definitely lost it.

Yeah.

I'm afraid you're right.

We'll see you later, Jack.

Good man.

Key.

I have the submarine.

You have the submarine, sir.

Steer course one-zero-zero.

Steer one-zero-zero.

Steer one-zero-zero.

Keep 80 feet, half ahead together.

Assume silent routine.

Sir.

Half ahead together.

On course one-zero-zero.

On depth, 80 feet.

Boat is in trim.

Silent routine, silent routine.

Very good.

ASDlC, commence anti-mine sweep.

Commence anti-mine sweep, aye aye, sir.

He's told the crew we're heading for Kaliningrad.

Yes.

Yeah, so it's as it was before.

He's hoping to sneak in through the minefield...

and attack the shipyard where the battle group was docked.

That's what he was saying just now.

Yeah, that's right.

So, do you remember when we attacked the convoy?

Yes, you said there might be some fishing boats...

or something out that we might hit them.

Yeah and that's because we were in open water.

But Kaliningrad is not in open water, it's fixed.

So if we sail in there, firing our torpedoes,...

we can't miss.

The thing is, it's 1981.

It's no longer a Nazi dockyard, is it?

It's a Soviet naval facility.

The Cold War.

Yeah.

You can forget World War II.

We're heading for World War III.

We've got to kill the boat.

We're around the spur, Captain.

Minefield dead ahead.

We need some options.

We could scuttle her.

How do we get them to take her to the surface?

Oh, right.

You know what Basquine used to say?

Basquine used to say the boat and the crew made the weapon.

One without the other is no threat to anybody.

If we could get rid of the crew,...

the boat becomes just so much dead metal.

Chlorine gas.

What?

I can short the batteries and make them vent gas.

And chlorine gas in a closed boat...

is a pretty swift inducement to get off, believe me.

And we'd have to surface in order to vent to atmosphere.

All right, let's go.

Just a minute, Jack.

Yes?

Hold on.

We're gonna need one of these each.

Take that.

Mine dead ahead, sir.

Range 200 yards.

Port 30.

Port 30.

It's not enough.

20 down.

20 down, sir.

On course zero-seven-zero.

Clear, sir.

All right, it's clear.

Shit.

What is it?

I've forgotten my hammer.

Okay, use that.

Jack, there's another problem.

Now what?

If I start banging on this pipe,...

they'll hear it in the Control Room.

Oh.

You carry on.

I'll see if I can distract them.

Good luck, Jack.

What the hell was that?

Nice one, Jack.

We've fouled the anchor chain.

Shut the bulkhead doors.

Starboard 30, full ahead together.

Full ahead together, starboard three-zero.

Damn.

ASDlC, report.

No contact, sir.

Navigation?

By dead reckoning, we should...

be clear of the field, Captain.

Stand by to surface.

Standing by.

Let's see what's out there.

Aye aye, sir.

Surface the submarine.

Ow, Jesus!

What the bloody hell's that?

It's happening again!

What?

What's happening again?

It was Basquine.

Basquine sent me up on deck to confirm our position.

We need position.

Go to the bridge and take a star sight.

Aye aye, sir.

Nolan, the sextant.

And then there was, there was this storm,...

but it wasn't like any storm I'd ever seen before.

Control, report!

I tried to tell him to turn back.

I tried to warn him.

What's happening up there?

Are we under attack?

I don't know, sir.

There's some kind of electricity.

I've never seen anything like it.

But he wouldn't listen.

Start both engines!

Full ahead together!

He said.

Dive the submarine.

Do your duty, Hardy.

Do your duty.

And then the boat started to go down.

That's why I was up there.

That's why I survived.

And it's happening again.

We've got to get the crew off.

Otherwise this boat is gonna sink right beneath us.

Take us through this!

What if we can't get through it?

It's just a storm, Lieutenant.

We'll ride it out.

Hoy!

Hoy!

Oh, shit.

Dave, anyone, I'm below deck!

For Christ's sake, shut him up.

What's going on, Chief?

Captain Basquine will get us through.

Back to your station, lad, go on, go on.

I could have died down here, Chief.

You still will, if you don't do what I tell you.

There's the key.

It's getting worse, sir.

Maintain course.

It's gonna tear us apart.

Then we'll go under it!

Stop engines.

Stop engines.

Diving stations, dive the submarine.

Belay that dive order!

It's safe.

This one isn't.

Where are you going?

Wait for the order!

Make way there!

Now, listen up, everybody.

We've got a chlorine gas leak,...

and the ventilation system can't handle it,...

so you'd better get up top, sharpish!

Open the hatch, abandon ship!

Stay at your posts, that's an order!

Sir, that's a grenade, and there's gas escaping.

Captain, give the order.

All hands, abandon ship!

Come on, all of you, out now!

Remain at your posts!

You no longer give the orders here, Captain.

You'd never do it.

You'd die as well.

If we stay here any longer, we'll all be dead, anyway.

Now, come on, get out.

Listen, you and all, get out!

Sir, you've got to let them go.

Monroe, go, get up that ladder.

Go, go, go!

Come on, move!

Down there.

Give the order to the rest of the crew.

Now.

All men, abandon ship.

Torpedo room, set launch controls to remote and lock!

What the hell are you doing?

Anybody left back there?

No, Chief.

Go on, then, get out.

Come on!

Is it all clear for'ard?

Clear.

All right, then, get aloft.

Get up there, up you go!

Blimey, Jack, what happened to you?

Travis, Travis!

Come on, get out of here before this thing falls apart.

Everybody move, go, go, go!

Phil!

We've lost Phil!

Leave him, there's nothing you can do for him.

Let's move it!

Mason, get in that raft!

Jesus!

Bloody hell, Jack!

Come on, we have to get a life raft.

Wait.

No, no, no, come on, we have to get away.

He's not there!

Travis must still be below.

Well, that's fine with me.

Captain's prerogative to go down with his boat.

He has control of the torpedoes.

So what?

The boat's sinking.

Quickly, come on, for Christ's sake!

Get a move on.

He's done it.

He's done it.

He's got through it.

That means he can go into Kaliningrad...

and fire the torpedoes.

Assuming he's still down there.

There's someone still down there.

Of course he's still down there.

Alan, the scuttling charges, they're next...

to the battery compartment, aren't they?

Chief, come on!

All right, go on, get off, get going now.

You have two minutes delay, that's all.

No!

Get off now!

Give us your hand.

Come on, Chief, jump, come on.

Thanks, boys.

Good luck, Jack.

You're down here, aren't you?

And I think you're going to stay down here this time, Jack.

With us.

You can't stop us now.

We've waited too long for this.

You do seem to have trouble working out...

who the real enemy is.

It's pointless, Jack.

We've thought of everything this time.

Navigation, confirm present course and sounding.

Very good.

Slow ahead together.

Take us to periscope depth.

Nice and easy.

We don't want them to hear us coming.

We don't want them to hear us coming.

Hardy.

All those men, Hardy.

Comrades, friends.

The sole survivor.

Everyone gone but you.

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

You blame me, don't you?

You blame me for it.

Don't you want answers?

I know I'd feel as guilty as hell.

There's a boat!

There's a boat!

We're saved!

Come on!

It's the Oakland!

Pull the raft in.

There you go, mate.

Give us your hand.

All right, mate.

Come on, clear the gangway.

Thanks.

Come on.

This is the Oakland, isn't it?

That's right, sir.

Come on, we'll get downstairs...

and get you a change of clothes to warm you up.

What year is it?

Sir?

What's the bloody year?

It's 1981.

Come on, Mr. Cassidy.

Up scope.

Well done, gentlemen.

Exactly on target.

Set up for attack.

Easy does it now.

Gently.

Gently.

Ship control, take us in.

I don't think so.

I was hoping you'd join us.

You're just in time.

We're almost there, Mr. Hardy.

Listen to me.

This is not 1943,...

and we're not at war.

There aren't any Germans on those docks or on those ships.

Quiet, Lieutenant.

I'm not a lieutenant, I'm a professor.

Remember?

Look at me.

What you're involved in is 40 years ago.

No.

It's right now.

The decisive moment is here.

The boat wants you to think that.

Don't listen to it.

The boat thinks it?

The boat doesn't think, Mr. Hardy.

Oh, yes, it does, it does.

It feels, doesn't it?

It feels fire and rage.

You're wrong.

The boat feels desire.

Desire for action.

Desire for purpose.

Exactly, it wants to be used.

And it's using you to get what it wants.

Don't listen to it.

It needs purpose.

Your name is Will Travis.

The boat is a weapon.

But you don't have to be a part of it!

The purpose of a weapon is use.

Ship control.

Stand by to fire.

You're him, aren't you?

You're really him.

You're Basquine.

I'm the Captain, Mr. Hardy.

This is my boat.

My mission.

Did you think for a moment that I'd let you get...

in the way of that?

You've always been a troublemaker.

I should have done something about you a long time ago.

You're insane.

I always knew you were.

Firing one.

Firing two.

What have you done?

I'm a troublemaker, remember?

I've been making trouble.

The torpedoes are still on board, Captain.

They're hot and running on a 400 yard arming cycle.

I think you've got about a minute...

to stop the screws before they're fully armed.

You better hurry.

There's a formal debriefing scheduled for tomorrow,...

but what the hell happened down there?

Gentlemen, this was intercepted by our people...

in the Baltic late last week.

It's a classified KGB report into the Kaliningrad incident.

The Scorpion?

Yes.

What was down there, Admiral?

What did they find?

See for yourself.

That's impossible, it can't be.

Agreed, it can't be.

Scorpion sank six months ago.

That's clearly been down there at least 40 years.

The Russians can see that, too.

They've closed the investigation, and we shall do the same.

All other details classified.

That's the end of it.

It can't be the Scorpion.

We happen to be in complete agreement...

with the Soviet high command on this one, gentlemen.

There was no Kaliningrad incident.

It never happened.

The Scorpion sank in 1943.
