Engine room, engine room.

Report, report.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: [inaudible] fire in the engine room.

Fire in the engine room.

Identify range to target.

MAN: Mains have been shifted to emergency adjusted sat, sir.

Captain, we have an alarm fire in the engine room

causing a loss of hydraulics through the steering

and diving systems.

All stop.

All stop.

The hydraulic system is working normally, sir.

Captain, 019, bear tracking 070, tracking at 25 knots.

Range 4,000.

He's in our baffles at 3,700 yards in one minute, captain.

Recommend increase depth to 700 feet, come hard right to north

at full speed, sir.

Chief in the boat.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Aye, sir.

All ahead 2/3.

Make 10 degree bubble.

Make your depth 700 feet.

Aye, sir.

Ahead 2/3.

Come to 700 feet.

Gentlemen.

Attention on deck.

As you were.

Let's review.

Captain Sheffield, why did you order all stop and level off.

Admiral Justice, sir, my first priority

was the safety of the boat.

Mr. Kenner, you're the executive officer.

You were tracking the contact.

Any worries?

Sir, we achieved collision avoidance by our change

of course in depth.

Was the safety of the boat your only priority, captain?

No, sir, we also had to avoid counter detection

by the contact.

The rate that Russian sub was closing,

you were at risk of collision and counter detection.

Could you have been more aggressive in using speed

and depth to get away from it?

Yes, sir.

This will be your first deployment

as skipper of Lansing, correct?

Aye, sir.

Well, experience is a great teacher.

That's why we run these drills.

So let's do it again.

Aye-aye, sir.

Gentlemen, I want you to shake the hands of the individuals

on your left and on your right.

Serving aboard a nuclear attack submarine

is the toughest duty in the Navy.

You will be away from loved ones.

You will work long hours with little rest.

Just when you think you've reached your limit,

you will be called upon to work longer and harder.

The dangers you face cannot be described

here in port in Bangor.

They must be experienced out there, hundreds

of feet beneath the sea.

One of the men you shook hands with

will fail to qualify for rating.

Half of you will not get your dolphin pins.

Gentlemen, in this, there is no shame.

It is a fact of life in the submarine service.

Fall out.

Make your goodbyes.

[baby crying]

I love you!

I'm gonna miss you so much.

[chatter]

MAN: Yeah, easy.

Easy, easy with that.

Another trip has gotta go. -

MAN: This guy here-- MAN: Let's get these vehicles--

[interposing voices]

We're gonna take these first, and then

we'll get the other ones.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Now hear this.

The smoking lamp is out topside, and below decks

we're loading small arms in.

You ready?

Sir, did you see this?

The North Koreans are developing a missile program right out

in the open, and all we do is exercise our vote

in the Security Council.

Do you really think it's true that North Korea has nukes?

It's the Navy's job to assume the worst

and act accordingly, lieutenant.

I can't believe they assigned so many non-qualified

pukes to this mission.

The captain volunteered to take the extra trainees.

I think it's a good idea.

We're saving the Navy some badly needed

dollars so they can build that new stealth destroyer.

Well, that may be true, but until a week ago,

the only thing the captain was in charge of was a desk.

Sir, the crew that sailed with you last year

knows you should have gotten a command already.

I mean, you-- you paid your dues,

spent your career on sea duty, while the captain's

been running around, getting his PhD,

and sucking up to Pentagon brass.

Belay the attitude, Mr. Watkins.

We pull together as a crew, no matter the fairness

or unfairness of assignments.

Yes, sir.

Martinez.

[chatter]

Hey, come on.

I'll be home before you know it.

You're not gonna be here when the baby's born.

We knew this would happen if I volunteered for submarines.

The Navy'll send me a message as soon as the baby's born.

And who's going to help me in the meantime?

I don't know anybody here yet.

[chatter]

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Lansing arriving.

Lansing arriving.

Good to see you, chief.

You too, son.

All present and accounted for, sir.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Very good.

Check your boat.

Go ahead and remove the gangplank.

Have all dock lines singled up.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Aye-aye.

Attention on deck.

Six pair of socks and five pair of underwear

are supposed to last me?

Looks like we'll be keeping the guy's a laundry-ville busy.

You are the guys in the laundry, and the galley,

and the clean up crew.

I'm Terry Peel.

Where you guys from?

Ryan Alford.

Columbus, Georgia.

Matt Rockwell.

Red Hook, New Jersey.

Welcome aboard, guys.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

You can usually find me by the radio console.

Take it easy.

Cool guy.

Yeah.

I wonder if the rest of the crew is as nice as him.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: All unrated seamen

report to the chief of the boat for assignments immediately.

It's a fine day to put to sea.

Damn fine.

Every day is a damn fine day to defend

your country, captain.

XO, the navigator has reported that we've

passed the 100 fathom contour.

Submerge the ship.

Aye-aye, sir.

Lookouts, clear the bridge.

[knocking]

ADMIRAL EUGENE JUSTICE: In.

Sir, USS Lansing signaled she's

submerged at 1900 hours Zulu time

to reach her first waypoint.

Making your trip to Bangor next week?

This week, sir.

It will be my first meeting with the wives

and the family of the crew on the Lansing.

I'll be following up with families from the Mako

and the Miami, too, sir.

So this family outreach program, is it working?

Yes, sir.

Very well.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Sir.

[knocking]

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Enter.

Come in, chief.

I'm just finishing my first day's log.

That your family, sir?

Your kids have grown.

Yeah, we had to take out a second mortgage

just to keep them in shoes.

CPO PETE LECROIX: I know what you mean, sir.

My three are all grown up.

One's even married, but it doesn't

seem to make much difference.

How are the new men coming along?

I assigned them to the mess, the laundry,

and seamen's gang will assign qualification watches later,

sir.

Sit down, chief.

Thank you, sir.

Any problems so far?

Oh, some nerves, sir, but on the whole,

I think they're adjusting pretty well.

I was with the new boys throughout the preparations,

and I think we got a pretty good bunch, sir.

Captain, we've known each other

since I was master chief radio man under you on the Pensacola.

Well, that was five years ago.

Miles, you probably already know this,

but I wanted you to hear it from me.

I've been on this boat now through two missions.

She's a good boat and good crew, but there's

a feeling among some of the veterans on board

that Kenner should have been promoted

and gotten his own command.

I'm aware that the crew is disappointed, Pete,

but Lieutenant Commander Kenner is getting another chance

at promotion with this voyage.

And I'm going to do my best to see to it

that he gets his own boat.

Well, I'll pass that word right along, sir.

And we'll work this the way we did on the Pensacola.

You worry about the boat.

I'll worry about the men.

Captains on the con.

Carry on.

Looks quiet out there.

Yes, sir.

Every trip starts out quiet.

Report any changes to me immediately.

Aye-aye, sir.

Radio, retrieve the floating wire antenna.

Any messages for us on the broadcast?

Nothing new, sir.

XO, you've been on the cons since we submerged.

Why don't you get some rest?

Aye-aye, sir.

[chatter]

[excited shouting]

Go! Go!

Go!

Gentlemen.

Now, how y'all doing after your first week at sea?

[interposing voices]

I hope some of you are studying for your qualification exams.

Uh-huh.

Who can tell me how to maintain communication with command?

Rockwell.

Uh, we copy the COMSUBPAC broadcast

at least every 12 hours.

The problem is, of course, we can't

be assured of getting any message for up to 12 hours

after COMSUBPAC ends.

When do we get, uh, movie privileges, chief?

Well, if you're smart, you'll spend

your free time studying for exams

and pass on the movies, son.

Alford?

Uh, chief, I knew the bunks were tight, but, man,

sometimes I--

I wake up, and-- and I think I'm in a coffin.

I'm not kidding, chief.

Uh, I can hear my heart beating in there.

Well, it is close in here.

I'll give you that, Alford.

[chuckling]

It takes some getting used to, son.

In the meantime, they got some stuff in the sick bay

might help you.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Chief of the boat,

report to control immediately.

Well, we'll talk again, gentlemen.

Carry on.

Hey, you're so tired you're falling down standing up.

Why didn't you tell him about the insomnia?

I know.

You're not gonna pass your exam.

How are you gonna pay for that baby, man,

if you're not pulling down sub pay?

You gotta think about Lisa here, man.

You shut up.

Don't be talking about my wife.

OK, man.

OK.

Sir, I'm leaving for Bangor tomorrow.

Yeah, I saw a weather report.

You better pack your long johns.

Say, Clare, how's that husband of yours?

Heard from him lately?

Yes, sir.

He's still flying patrols in the Middle East,

but they're due back home next month.

Lansing monitors our next broadcast

in an hour and a half.

Are there any specific instructions, sir?

Issue the attack order at 1200 hours.

Aye, sir.

Captains on the con.

We have a properly formatted emergency action message, sir.

Let's authenticate.

Zebra, echo, X-ray, 1, Charlie, 5, 7, 2, 4.

Message is authentic, sir.

I concur, sir.

I concur.

Attack order requires a strike against Vladivostok.

Two Tomahawks, sir.

Execute the time of attack at 1205 Zulu.

Yeah.

Weapons officer, retarget the missiles.

Aye, sir.

Get me the revised flight profiles.

XO, make sure the data recorders are running.

Man battle stations.

Data recorders.

Aye-aye.

Man battle stations.

Man battle stations.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Man battle stations.

[alarm ringing]

LT COMMANDER ALBERT KENNER: All stations report.

[interposing voices]

Go, go, go.

[interposing voices]

Chief of the boat, make your depth 160 feet.

160 feet.

Aye, sir.

Tell them all ahead one third.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Tell them all ahead one third.

Come right to course 345.

Come right.

Course 345.

Aye, sir. MAN: Up there.

Up there.

[interposing voices]

MAN: What's the status of the engine?

MAN: Come on, let's move it. MAN: Hold it.

Hold it.

MAN: All right, let's go, guys.

420 feet.

400.

300 feet.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Torpedo room manned.

Permission to remove interlocks and pressurize

tubes five and six, aye.

CPO PETE LECROIX: 220 feet.

160 feet.

We are at depth, sir.

MAN: All stations report manned for battle stations, sir.

Any problem with the transmission?

No, sir.

How'd Sheffield react.

He immediately retargeted his missiles

and proceeded to launch depth. - Good.

Good drill.

Issue the termination order.

Aye, sir.

Received a nuclear control order.

We have a valid message, captain.

This is the captain.

We've been ordered to terminate the attack.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Secure from battle stations.

We are acutely aware of the hardships you face,

Mrs. Alford.

You can call me Lisa, if you like.

Well, Lisa, don't you worry.

Everything is going to be all right.

I just want to know what-- is he gonna

be home for our baby's birth?

Uh, when are you due?

First week in March.

Typically these patrols take two or three months.

We won't know when they'll be back until about a

week before they enter port.

It's for their own security.

You understand how sensitive these missions can be,

don't you?

Yeah.

I don't have any friends or family here in Bangor.

My number's on the front of this.

Mary LeCroix's number's on the back.

She's the wife of the chief of the boat.

She's in charge of dependent support for the Lansing.

If she can't help you, then just give me a call.

OK.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me, Lisa.

When your baby is born, I will personally see to it

that your husband's notified.

I-- I don't have any--

I don't have any children of my own yet,

so I don't know what you're going through,

but I do know that your husband would be very proud.

Thank you.

Seaman Alford, didn't they teach you the proper way

to serve a table.

Uh, yes, sir.

Really?

Then why are you serving a junior officer first?

Great.

I'm sorry, sir.

You know, I was planning on eating my salad tonight,

Alford, not wearing it.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Oh, you think that's funny "Al-ford," huh?

You can't complete a simple task like serving a salad,

and you think it's funny?

Tell me something.

What are you going to do when they rotate you through a watch

in the reactor compartment? - I'm sorry, sir.

I really am. - Look, come on.

Just lay off him.

He's just a little nervous, OK?

Is that it, Alford?

Huh?

You just-- just a little nervous?

Uh, yes, sir.

I guess so.

Well, let me tell you what nervous

gets you on a nuclear submarine, Alford--

a steel coffin for you and your shipmates

at the bottom of the sea.

You follow?

Sir, it's not like that.

I was just trying to--

Oh, well, thank you very much, Alford.

All right, dismissed, OK.

He's got a pregnant wife back home, Eric.

So why don't you give just give the kid a break, OK?

Oh, I'll give him a break, all right, Lowenstein.

I'll see he never makes his rating

so he doesn't have to go to sea on a submarine ever again.

When did we receive this report, commander?

It was flashed this morning, sir.

So North Koreans are preparing to test fire

missiles in the next 24 hours.

Well, we knew they were moving forward with their missile

program, but our Intel had absolutely no idea that they

were ready to start testing.

No, sir.

That is some intelligence.

Good morning.

How'd the outreach in Bangor go?

Good, sir, but it's not place to get a tan.

Ma'am.

Lieutenant Ryan, where does intel say they'll launch?

Sir, from their east coast, near Kilchu,

where they have an underground weapons facility.

The Pentagon wants to know everything

that moves in that region.

The Joint Chiefs need to know what the Koreans are up to.

So which one of our boats is closest.

Lieutenant Holliday, is that the true present

position of the Lansing?

Negative, sir.

The Lansing is just coming off station now.

At flank speed, they could be off the coast of North Korea

within 24 hours, sir.

Very well.

Issue a patrol change order giving her the Sea of Japan

north of the 38th parallel.

They're to proceed to coastal waters off of Kilchu

and report any intelligence having to do

with these missile launches.

That's all.

COMSUBPAC wants us to proceed immediately

to North Korean coastal waters.

Any given reason why they've changed the mission, sir?

Yeah, North Korea is conducting

new ballistic missile tests.

The Pentagon wants to know the name, rank,

and serial number of everything that moves in the air

and on the water.

That's why four of our Tomahawks are armed with nukes.

Don't jump to conclusions.

I was only pointing out, sir, that--

XO, plot us a course for the waters off Kilchu.

XO has the con.

[buzzer]

Captain.

CPO PETE LECROIX [ON INTERCOM]: We're

six miles off the Korean coast, sir, directly opposite Kilchu.

I'll be right there.

One little trawler dragging its nets, and that's about it.

You have traffic?

I'm using night vision enhancement,

but there's very little ambient light.

We've got the radar intercept mast up,

as well as the radio direction finder.

We tracked two aircraft landing at the airport

north of the city.

Sonar, how do you classify those aircraft.

Four engine cargo planes, sir.

Communications, how long until we

get the broadcast from COMSUBPAC.

We copy the 1600 Zulu broadcast in just over an hour,

sir.

Deploy the VLF trailing wire.

Let me know as soon as you get the message schedule.

Aye-aye, sir.

Let's get out of here.

We'll lay low till morning, then move

in closer for another look.

[boom]

Are you getting something on your headset?

Ah!

Ah!

MAN: Oh, fire!

[interposing voices]

You're OK, son.

Come on.

[interposing voices]

Fire crew is on the con.

[shouting]

Damage report.

All stations, damage report.

Sonar is down, captain.

XO, assess damage in all departments and get back to me

ASAP. - Aye-aye, sir.

MAN: Yes, sir!

All stations, damage report.

Damage report.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: Propulsion, find

out if we've still got power.

Computer room, give me a status right now.

Somebody get that fire out.

Reactor control, I need all reports now.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: Propulsion, let me

if you've still got power now.

Chief, control regained.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: Computer room,

give me a damage report. CPO PETE LECROIX: --on deck.

Maintaining 160 feet at one third speed, sir.

CNN is reporting electronics and communication

systems from Seoul to Tokyo.

The Russians are screaming that they've

lost communication with their sub base at Vladivostok.

Indications are that they've increased

their readiness condition.

Ma'am, this just came in.

Sir, it's an NSA flash message.

Nuclear air burst on North Korean eastern seaboard

off Kilchu, sir.

When was Lansing scheduled to reach her station.

1300 hours Zulu time, sir.

They were on station when the blast hit.

Do we have any other subs on station in the region?

One, sir.

The Mako is in the Sea of China to the south.

All right, send a flash message to Lansing and Mako

advising them of the nuclear air burst.

Order both skippers to acknowledge receipt

of the message, and you let me know

the minute we get confirmation.

Aye-aye, sir.

OK, try it now.

Nothing.

It's total system overload, sir.

Can't even run a diagnostic on it.

The whole system was hit from the antenna all

the way through the console.

Worst of all, the receivers are dead,

and all the circuit boards need replacing.

Supply never anticipated all the circuits

going at the same time.

Thank you, son.

The bow sonar is down too, sir.

Couldn't pick up a pod of whales at three yards.

How long has it been since we copied the broadcast?

I had just deployed the VLF antenna to copy the broadcast

when we got hit, sir.

It's at 1705 Zulu now.

If we miss another broadcast--

we've got a serious problem.

I need to have the VLF back online by 2400.

Can you do it?

Chief, I want you to give sonar and communications

every man you can spare.

We are deaf, dumb, and blind until we get back online.

I'll get it done, sir.

Hey, chief, what do you think hit us?

Well, in my opinion, sir, it felt like a shockwave

from an explosion.

A big one.

[phone ringing]

Yes, sir.

Understood, sir.

I'll check on that, and I'll get right back to you.

CINCPAC has canceled all leaves and ordered the entire Pacific

fleet to DEFCON 3 until we determined

what caused that explosion.

Have Lansing and Mako confirmed receipt of our flash message?

Mako confirmed, sir, but I'm worried about the Lansing.

We haven't received anything from them.

Well, keep trying to raise Lansing any way you can--

VLF, ELF.

Hell, send an AWACS to fly over.

And you report to me the minute Sheffield acknowledges.

Yes, sir.

Sonar, we got our ears on yet?

Yes, sir.

Bow sonar is up and running.

Sorry, sir.

Captain, reactor control is still OK.

The maneuvering systems are online and operational.

Maintenance has got the internal communications

systems back online.

It looks like the only systems hit

were radio, electronic support measures, and sonar.

I got the chief and a crew of five working on the radios.

Why don't you see how our electronics are doing?

Aye-aye, sir.

This is the captain.

Division chiefs will make up for crew

shortages with double shifts.

Until we get our radios back online

and re-establish contact with command,

privileges are suspended.

That is all.

We're carrying four Tomahawks armed with nuclear warheads.

We just got hit with something that felt like a nuclear blast,

and he hasn't got us at battle stations yet.

Something is wrong.

NSA reports the fireball from the explosion ignited miles

of forest area in North Korea.

Smoke from the fire is spreading,

and it's as dark as midnight at high noon in Tokyo, sir.

What about the Lansing?

We've had an AWACS in the area transmitting constantly.

She hasn't responded to any of our attempts to reach her.

If the Lansing was at periscope depth

anywhere in the vicinity of that blast,

it could've crushed the boat.

Sir, I think it's more probable the Lansing was

surveilling the area with the wire deployed

at the time of the explosion.

Even If she was near enough, then the electromagnetic pulse

could cripple the radio.

And if he can't reach us, sir, there's no telling what options

the Lansing might exercise.

Ever since I took this command,

I've had this lurking fear that one day something like this

could happen.

Sir, every new sub we've built has been an improvement

over the last one.

With so many redundant systems--

Either one of our submarines was destroyed in that blast,

or we've got a boat loaded with nuclear armed Tomahawks

that we can't control.

We're just going to have to pray that Lansing

is trying to communicate.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: XO, I want us to make

an east-west pattern to here.

We'll go deep and stay quiet till we get our communications

up and running.

LT COMMANDER ALBERT KENNER: I don't like it, Miles.

Until we re-establish communications,

our standing orders are to go to battle stations

and remain on station.

The way I see it, we have two objectives.

The first is to get the radios working,

and we're doing that right now.

The second is to ensure the survival of this boat.

Well, it seems my interpretation of our orders

differs from yours.

I'm going to make my rounds now.

Set the course I indicated and take the boat down to 600 feet.

Aye-aye, captain.

[rapid shallow breathing]

Let me out of here!

Hey, man.

Let me out of here!

He's [inaudible].

Get me out of here!

Go back to bed.

What are you doing?

Get out!

Hey!

Don't touch me.

Get off of me!

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Get that man off the con!

Ah!

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Corpsman to control.

Corpsman to control.

Contain him.

Get that man.

Seaman, get him!

Don't come near me.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me! - It's OK.

It's all right! AS RYAN ALFORD: OK.

No, it's OK!

Control yourself.

It's OK.

All right, it's gonna be OK.

It's all right.

MAN: Get him.

MAN: Get him.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Ah!

Watch it!

[phone ringing]

Priority alpha for CINCPAC.

Sir, Admiral Justice.

I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you, sir.

Lansing has not acknowledged receipt of any of our flash

messages, and we haven't been able to raise

her by any other means.

She may have been hit in the detonation,

or she may have just lost her communications.

Yes, sir.

I concur.

We've got another fast attack submarine

in the area-- the Mako.

I'm ordering her to find Lansing with all deliberate speed.

Right, sir.

I will keep you informed.

Helm, maintain course 257.

Slow to 20 knots.

Medical report.

Sir, I gave him a sedative.

Kid like him, the boat just closes in.

It's claustrophobia.

Ops, get that man off my con.

Aye-aye, captain.

Take him below.

Aye, sir.

MAN: Steady at 400 feet at 20 knots.

On course 257, sir.

MAN: OK, let's get--

What happened?

Seaman Alford just came in here and went crazy.

PO, tell me you got the high frequency radio working.

[sighs] You're not gonna like this, sir.

I finished repairing the relay panel for the satcom,

but now I'm gonna have to repair the main panel for the antenna.

Tell me you can fix it.

No, sir.

I'm gonna have to build us a new one.

Clare, I didn't get to spend a lot of time

with Sheffield when he came in to take command,

but you know him.

What kind of man is he?

Well, he was two years ahead of me at the academy, sir.

He was one of the top three men in his class.

We were on the sailing team together.

He was the team captain.

[knocking]

He never panicked, even when we dropped the spinnaker one day.

We recovered and won the race because he

didn't lose his cool. - Thank you.

That'll be all. MAN: Aye, sir.

Sir, Commander Sheffield has a good head on his shoulders.

I hope you're right, Clare, because right now one Naval

officer with a good head on his shoulders

might be all that's standing between us and Armageddon.

[knocking]

Enter.

I would like a word with you, if you don't mind.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Come on in, Al.

Miles, you and I have a duty that has not been met.

Our communications with command have been cut.

We have evidence that something has

gone terribly wrong in the world, probably a nuclear war.

And here we sit, doing nothing to contribute

to the defense of our nation.

Get to the point.

You believe there's a war.

Well, just who do you think went to war against us?

China?

They're one of our major trading partners.

Besides, they don't have the capacity

to inflict damage on the United States with nuclear weapons.

I can think of any number of scenarios--

Pakistan and India, Iraq.

And which one of them could have delivered

a nuclear strike against us?

Not to mention why any country would want to do such a thing.

You know these scenarios, Miles.

One could have gone to war against the other,

and that would draw the Soviet Union into it.

You're forgetting something, Al.

There is no Soviet Union anymore.

So North Korea may have launched

an attack against South Korea, Russia, the Soviet Union.

Who gives a damn?

It's the same godless communism.

There isn't one of them who wouldn't

rejoice in seeing our nation turn into an ash heap.

It is your duty to assume that our country has been attacked

and to mitigate against any further damage

by preparing to strike.

We've wrung this subject dry.

You're making a serious mistake.

The Navy entrusted you with commanded of this warship

for one reason and one reason only.

When the time comes to go to war,

it is your duty to drive this boat into battle

in defense of our country, sir.

Al, as soon as you're given command of your own boat,

you can interpret orders any which way you want.

Until then, I will give the orders,

and as executive officer on my boat,

you will execute those orders.

Clear?

Aye, captain.

You really believe we're at war up there?

All right.

Follow me.

We'll test your theory.

ADMIRAL EUGENE JUSTICE: How long would it

take Mako to reach the Lansing?

If they really turn the crank, sir, about five hours.

Clare, I was up last night praying

that it wouldn't come to this.

Tell Mako to locate and intercept Lansing

using any and all means.

If they can't find her by 1600 Zulu,

I will be forced to order all of our available Naval forces

in the region to find her, and I don't want to do that.

The Chinese and the Russians might misinterpret a large

movement for a show of force, and we

cannot allow that to happen.

The Mako has to find the Lansing.

Captain's on the con.

Carry on.

Chief, shoot us a course that will take us off the city

of Ulsan, South Korea.

MAN: Aye, sir.

Ulsan?

That's outside of our assigned station.

It's also the closest port city south of the blast that

cooked our communication and nearly knocked us out

of the water.

Recommend heading 035, sir.

Helm, make your course 035.

All ahead flank.

Setting course 035 at flank speed.

Aye-aye, sir.

XO, take the control.

Let me know when we come abreast of Ulsan.

Chief, come with me.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Aye, sir.

Ulsan, South Korea?

I don't know.

They got nice beaches there.

May he wants some R&R.

Mr. Watkins, stow it.

That's the captain you're talking about.

Chief, what's the word with the crew?

Oh, the usual bellyaching, sir.

Mostly it's about the round the clock watches since you

doubled up the swing crew and cancelled

all of their privileges, sir.

I want you to let me know if you hear anything that sounds

like organized bellyaching.

Aye, sir. Thank you.

[knocking] - Enter.

I put several men from the mess on the radio repair crew.

We were short.

I returned Alford to duty, sir.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: What do you have for us tonight?

Uh, Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, carrots, sir.

Being an old Mississippi farm boy like me,

I'd eat a boiled gator if you put enough gravy on it.

Just a minute.

At ease, Alford.

How are you?

Better, sir.

You're aware that you caused severe damage to the con.

Yes, sir.

What happened?

It's like the worst thing I ever experienced, sir.

I was having a dream, sir, and, uh, I woke up,

And, it was totally dark.

I guess I panicked.

All I can remember is I--

I couldn't, breathe, and I had to get out.

All I could think of was my wife having a baby, sir.

I thought I was dying.

I thought I'd never see my baby.

But you feel better about things now, don't you?

I-- I've been talking to my mates, and, uh,

they've been a big help.

The chief tells me you had sonar training on a destroyer

before you put in for sub school.

I'm going to assign you to the sonar division

under Petty Officer Martinez.

How does that sound to you?

That-- that sounds great, sir.

Tell the mess chief you're relieved of duty.

Report to sonar immediately.

Aye-aye, sir.

Thank you, sir.

What, chief?

He needs the responsibility.

It's the best thing for him.

Mako's reached Lansing's last reported position,

but there's no sign of them.

They're attempting to raise her using underwater communications

right now.

Very well.

I want all precautions taken against detection while they're

in North Korean waters.

We have no idea what their intentions are

until we get our satellites and our intelligence systems

back online.

Aye, sir.

And remind Mako she's got six and a half hours

to find Lansing.

Make a hole.

MAN: 200 feet of water under the keel and steady, sir.

[sonar beeping]

Raise the satcom antenna.

Aye, sir.

Nothing, sir.

I'm not even getting a signal from the satellite.

The satellites are down.

We can't see a damn thing.

What does that tell you?

Chief, put the boat on the surface.

Aye-aye, sir.

Surface, surface, surface.

All ahead 2/3.

Full rise on the planes.

Blow all main ballast tanks.

MAN: Full rise and all flank.

CPO PETE LECROIX: 60 feet.

50 feet.

40 feet and holding, sir.

Very well.

Open the hatch.

MAN: Aye-aye, captain.

We're six miles off shore.

We should be able to see the lights of the port of Ulsan

from here.

That's why I chose this location to surface.

There is no flicker of life.

We're practically inside the harbor.

The city's gone, Miles.

It's gone.

Clear the bridge.

Captain, just a minute, sir.

Lights on.

[sonar beeping]

[geiger counter crackling]

Captain, you and the XO gotta get

below to decontamination, sir.

Now are you convinced there's been a nuclear exchange?

Chief, I want this entire area decontaminated immediately.

There's gonna be an announcement to the crew,

and I will be the one who will make it.

Understood?

CPO PETE LECROIX: Aye-aye, sir.

[crew muttering]

Give me your report back about the other men ASAP.

Aye, sir.

Here's a list of targets.

I want you to generate flight plans for the four Tomahawks.

Do it tonight.

Sir, uh--

You're third in command of this boat.

You're qualified, or you wouldn't be here.

Sheffield is weak, and he's afraid to act.

Why do you think we're carrying those nukes?

For the exercise?

We have a duty to our crew and, more importantly,

to our country.

You and me, Eric, we're Navy men.

We're submariners.

My father-- uh, he used to tell me that there comes a time

in your life when you have to decide whether

or not you stand for something.

And when you do, you have to be prepared to die for it.

Good.

When the time comes, we'll take control of the captain's key,

and with our people we'll pay back the bastards

who started all this.

Aye-aye, sir.

Let's make this quick.

What's the status on our satellites, commander?

Only two of our communications satellites are online, sir,

but they're too far east to be of any use to us.

Well, when are the others gonna be back online?

The National Recon Office is working that right now, sir.

Lieutenant, anything new from NSA?

Sir, NSA surveillance of North Korean telephone and radio

communications is down.

It makes sense.

The entire damn communications network in East Asia

was knocked out.

Sir, I've just returned from a CIA briefing with CINCPAC.

Three days ago, the North Koreans

reserved an empty chunk of the Pacific for missile testing.

It looks as if they actually tried

to launch a nuclear missile, which malfunctioned

and exploded over the South Korean coast

as it entered the ionosphere.

The missile's explosion caused the EMP burst,

which disabled power, electronics, and communication

lines throughout Korea and bordering areas

in Japan, China, and Russia.

Sir, why would the Koreans launch a nuclear missile?

To prove to the world that they could.

The problem is the damn Chinese and the Russians

gonna be satisfied that the Koreans

just screwed up a missile test.

Both the Chinese and the Russians

know the hit the North Koreans took was much, much worse, sir.

That may be, lieutenant, but it still puts us

in the position of counting on the Chinese and the Russians

to react to a rogue nation's nuclear disaster

with great calm, and they're right here in their backyard.

Right now, the Sea of Japan is the most dangerous place

on earth, and Mako's got just five hours to find the Lansing.

[knocking]

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: Sir?

Sir, I've secured the key for the small arms locker.

Sir?

Sir?

Al?

Ah, jeez.

Medical corpsman report to the XO's quarters immediately.

He's inhaled iodine-131.

It'll play hell with the thyroid,

account for his fatigue.

Can you do anything for him?

Iodine replacement.

It'll get him back on his feet.

Good.

[coughs] Some water.

[knocking]

Captain.

[whispering]

CPO PETE LECROIX [ON INTERCOM]: Medical corpsman to captain's

stateroom immediately.

Medical corpsman to the captain's state room

immediately.

Sir, I'm not sure about this.

Do you have any idea what you're asking me to do?

Just remember what I told you.

I'm in command of this boat while the CO

and XO are out of commission.

Now, you'll carry on my orders, or I'll see to it you don't

set foot on a submarine again. Is that clear?

I'll do it because it's an order, sir,

but I don't I don't like it.

Just follow the damn orders, Ross.

ROSS: Sir.

Come on in.

I found him slumped over in his chair.

His breathing's shallow.

He's burning up.

Sir, can you hear me?

Sir?

It's in his lungs.

He inhaled fallout.

It's radiation sickness.

What are you giving him?

It's a strong anti-inflammatory.

It'll reduce swelling, help keep his fever down.

So what happens now?

The captain will have some fatigue, lethargy,

but he'll come around when the meds kick in.

I'll check on him later.

You sure this stuff's gonna work?

It's automatic, chief.

I'm giving it to you straight, Lowenstein.

Those are the XO's orders.

You want to see for yourself?

Here.

I'm sure you'll recognize his handwriting.

I just don't understand why he'd want us to reprogram

all of the nuclear missiles.

It-- it just doesn't make any sense to me.

You're the damn weapons officer.

This is the XO's order.

You don't figure that's a good enough reason?

Yeah, I guess so.

Good.

Now, let's go to a weapons control.

Man, you hear that?

It sounded pretty heavy.

We gotta follow them.

Hey, we can't go to con.

You know that pukes like us aren't allowed up there.

[computer beeping]

[beeping continues]

Hey, hey, hey, PUKES aren't allowed up here.

Uh, compliments of the mess, sir.

You guys are working a double shift.

Thought you might like some caffeine.

Well, don't bother Commander Watkins or the weapons officer.

Yes, sir.

Coffee?

MAN: Yeah, thanks.

[computer beeping]

Coffee, boys?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

[computer beeping]

And that's the last one.

Those are data transport devices to guide missiles.

They're programming a Tomahawk launch.

Man, we gotta find the chief.

Now, he knows that, if there is a fight,

he's in a prime position to serve his country.

If we can get his communications restored.

And what would you do in Sheffield's shoes, lieutenant?

Sir, if my boat suffered the type of damage

we believe the Lansing did, I would want to know

if there was a war going on.

I would continue to try and repair my radio equipment,

but position my boat so that I could

survey and intercept enemy Naval activity in the region.

I would stay within the range of my targets,

anticipating orders to strike.

Well, what's your best guess?

Where is he, Clare?

If I were him, sir, I'd head for Vladivostok.

Vladivostok.

Pretty sure about that?

Yes, sir.

Given the capabilities of the Lansing,

if he sets up surveillance there,

he'll be able to figure out whether or not we're at war

within a matter of hours.

Good work, lieutenant.

It's that kind of thinking that makes a top notch submarine

commander.

Well, maybe the Pentagon will rethink

their position about women serving aboard submarines.

Sir.

It is now 1410 Zulu.

There's still time to find Lansing.

Maybe you ought to get on the horn to Mako.

That's it, sir.

They're all here.

Lt. Lombardi, stand guard.

Make sure no one enters unless I tell you otherwise.

Yes, sir.

The captain made the mistake of putting this ship

on the surface to have a look at one of South

Korea's major coastal cities.

And it wasn't there.

There is only one conclusion we can draw from the facts

as we know them.

We are at war, gentlemen.

Where do you think you're going?

We're looking for the chief, sir.

He's not in the mess, so keep moving.

LT COMMANDER ALBERT KENNER: The captain is seriously

ill from radiation poisoning.

He inhaled a large dose of fallout while topside,

and while he's incapacitated, I'm taking command of the ship.

Before we went to sea, we loaded four Tomahawks

carrying nuclear warheads.

If they want to pick a fight with the Lansing, then, by god,

we'll give them one.

Mr. Watkins.

Let's go.

You stay here.

Guard the locker.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Captain's on the con.

Carry on.

You OK, sir?

Get me a fix on our location, chief.

Well, we're executing a sonar search

12 miles off of Nakhodka Point.

We're keeping a watch on traffic out of Vladivostok, sir.

You online with the, uh, high frequency radio yet?

Aye-aye, sir.

Chief, take us up to periscope depth.

Periscope depth, aye-aye, sir.

Give me five degree up bubble and make your depth 60 feet.

MAN: 60 feet.

Um, flood the main tanks.

The main tank, sir?

Yeah.

The-- the auxiliary tanks.

Cue the wash.

Flood 2,000 pounds into auxiliary tank.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: 2,000 pounds, aye.

CPO PETE LECROIX: 80 feet, sir.

We're at 60 feet, sir.

Raise the satcom antenna.

Antennas up, sir.

Message sent.

One moment, sir.

[static]

Nothing, sir.

I don't get it.

The radio is definitely working.

- Chief, sir-- - Hang on, now, Alford.

We're trying to message here.

No, but chief--

We are trying to get a message.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Where's the operations officer?

He's with me.

MAN: Come on, move.

MAN: Come on, double time, boys.

MAN: Move, let's go.

Go, go, go.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: What are you pukes doing out here?

Get back to the galley.

Let's go.

Get back to the galley now.

Come on, move it. Let's go!

AS MATT ROCKWELL: Easy, hey. - Let's go.

Move it.

Come on.

Commander Sheffield, in accordance with the authority

granted me by Naval regulations, I hereby relieve

you of command of the Lansing.

Navigator, enter those exact words in the ship's log.

You insubordinate fool.

Commander Sheffield has been medically incapacitated.

Help the captain to his state room.

Aye-aye, sir.

Watkins--

[guns cocking]

You make a move to carry out that order,

and you'll be committing mutiny.

That'll earn you a very long career in the brig.

Mr. Watkins, put the chief in the CO's state

room, along with the captain.

Yes, sir.

Listen up, you men are on notice.

Mutiny is a capital offense.

There is evidence that a nuclear war is in progress.

Now, we've lost all communication

with the outside world, probably because there is no

one left to communicate with.

And we're just sitting here doing nothing

while he is obviously sick.

I can't stand by and watch you endanger

this boat and the lives of these fine men.

Every one of you is a witness.

I'm taking control of the Lansing

until the captain has recovered.

Take him below.

Yes, sir.

[chatter]

As executive officer, I'm taking command of the Lansing

until Captain Sheffield has recovered sufficiently.

What?

I'm not going to lie to you gentlemen.

The situation we face on this boat is very grave,

but the Lansing must continue on its mission.

Our national security depends on it.

And I will proudly lead you now.

We are our country's first line of defense--

All right, lead us where, into nuclear war?

The crazy bastard's gonna launch our missiles.

LT COMMANDER ALBERT KENNER: --stay

calms and collect our thoughts, and we

know exactly what we're doing.

Sir!

Sir!

Sir, I'm sorry for interrupting.

The Mako has intercepted Lansing.

Officer of the deck, I've got a broadband

contact bearing one-six-niner.

Designate contact Sierra 24.

Probable submerged submarine approaching fast.

Sir, we have a broadband contact.

Possible submerged submarine approaching fast.

Man battle stations. Torpedo.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS [ON INTERCOM]: Aye-aye, sir.

Man battle stations.

Man battle stations.

[alarm ringing]

[chatter]

[chatter]

Make a hole! Make a hole!

This way.

Let's go.

[chatter]

MAN: He's at periscope depth, sir.

Lots of noise from propeller capitation.

He has a single seven blade propeller making 40 RPM.

It could be a US submarine, sir.

It could also be a Russian.

Can't take that chance.

Come right to course 155.

Make your depth 600 feet.

Setting course 155 at 600 feet.

Aye-aye, sir.

We're creep out of range through his sonar baffles.

Rig for ultra quiet.

Sir, Mako reporting Lansing has taken evasive action.

He's not gonna be able to remain at periscope depth

and maintain two way communications much longer.

Mako just lost him, sir.

Lansing spooked and took off.

Sheffield thinks he's being pursued by a Russian sub.

[sonar beeping]

We are outside his sonar range, sir.

He's lost us, but he's diving.

He'll do a 360 degree sonar search trying to find us.

Come right to course 220.

Make your depth 1,000 feet.

Setting course 220 at 1,000 feet.

Aye-aye, sir.

Rig for deep submergence.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: Rigging for deep submergence.

760.

880 feet.

1,000 feet, sir.

All stop.

LT COMMANDER ERIC WATKINS: All stop.

Shut the boat down.

How long does he think he can get away with this?

As long as it takes.

He thinks there's a war going on.

Whoa, whoa, what's this?

Uh, evening meal for the captain and chief.

Cook-- cook said he got orders from Watkins saying

to feed him three squares.

You make one sound, it'll be your last.

Give us the key.

Go on, you heard the puke.

Get him some water.

That's-- that's OK.

Take it easy, sir.

Oh!

Here captain.

Thanks.

Captain, I'll be right back.

Whoa.

Where you going?

Uh, the galley, sir.

Well, use the other entrance.

Oh, come on, sir.

It's right there. - All right, all right.

Come on, come on. Go, go, go.

Thank you, sir.

Fire!

Fire in the galley! Fire!

Help!

Sonar?

There's no sign of him, sir.

All stations, make preparation for Tomahawk launch.

Diving officer, make your depth 400 feet.

Aye-aye, sir.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Now, you be a good boy

and give the captain the same medication you gave the XO.

I gave him the same thing, chief.

CPO PETE LECROIX: Come again.

Watkins ordered me not to inject the captain

with iodine like I did the XO.

Iodine?

The fallout damaged his thyroids.

That's why he's weak and dizzy.

Now, you shoot the captain up with the same stuff,

or I will personally escort you to the torpedo room

and shoot you out of this boat like a piece of trash.

Chief.

You want to test my resolve, son?

Flood down and equalized launch tubes five

through eight.

Flooding tubes five through eight, sir.

Sir, Mako's got the Lansing.

What's the location and status?

Mako reports the Lansing is hovering

and has flooded her vertical launch tubes, sir.

Weaps, verify upload of target package into the missiles.

Prepare to open outer doors.

I

Cannot do that, sir.

Lowenstein, you've been given a direct order by your captain.

You heard the order.

Move!

I'm refusing your order, sir.

You do not have proper NCA authorization

to launch nuclear missiles.

You disobey the captain of the ship?

There probably isn't any NCA left, Lowenstein.

Should we just sit on our weapons

while the enemy destroys our country further?

Do it!

I said move!

[buzzing]

They cut off the hydraulics for the cons.

Start the launch countdown now.

[beeping]

Sir, we've reacquired CR24.

Bearing 340 on our starboard baffle.

She's sending Morse code underwater communications.

Mako?

That's one of our new fast attack boats, sir.

We don't know that.

It could easily be an enemy trick.

Does he have a contact on us?

He's shallow.

It sounds like he's at periscope depth moving toward us.

If he doesn't have us now, he'll acquire us in a minute or two.

All ahead full.

MAN: Aye, sir.

Take us to launch depth, Mr. Watkins.

Aye-aye, sir.

Coming to launch depth 140 feet.

AS MATT ROCKWELL: Hands where I can see them now!

Now!

MAN: Hey, easy, easy.

MAN: Whoa, all right.

Hey, whoa, all right, all right, all right.

Move back! Keep going!

MAN: Hey, hey, hey. MAN: Easy.

MAN: OK. - Stop moving.

Get your hands up.

Get your hands up. MAN: All right.

MAN: Watch it. MAN: Just calm it.

All right.

Good to see you, sir.

Don't move. - Easy, easy.

Take it easy.

Captain's got the con.

Permission to terminate launch sequence, sir.

Permission granted.

I'm gonna need the-- the key, sir.

Stay where you are!

Don't move!

Ah!

Ah!

[gunshots]

MAN: Get down!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ah.

[gunshot]

[computer beeping]

Uh, sir.

[computer beeping]

[beeping stops]

Missile launch terminated, sir.

Sir, Mako reports Lansing coming shallow.

He's at launch depth.

Oh my god.

I can't let him launch.

Open channel to the Mako, son.

Put me on with the skipper.

This is Admiral Justice.

You will pursue and destroy Lansing.

And may god forgive me.

Sonar?

You heard the captain.

Now you give me that when you've gotten that contact.

So help me god I will squeeze your head

till your eyeballs pop out.

AS RYAN ALFORD: Captain!

Captain, we got a contact bearing 342.

He's closing.

Get him out the con.

He's useless to us.

It's a fast attack boat.

I-- I don't know if she's friendly or not.

Uh, sir, he's opening his torpedo doors.

She could be one of ours, sir, but she

is fixing a blow a hole in us.

All ahead flank.

All ahead flank, sir.

Sir, torpedoes in the water bearing 340, sir.

Emergency deep.

Emergency deep.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Emergency deep.

Ahead flank 33 down bubble.

Left full rudder.

Course 100.

Full rudder.

Course 100.

Weaps, arm the evasion device.

Stand by launch.

Aye-aye, sir.

Evasion device armed, sir.

20 degree down angle.

CPO PETE LECROIX: 20 degree down, sir.

Sir, torpedoes are entering our port baffle.

They have enabled and are echo ranging.

Range 3,000 yards and closing, sir.

Course 090.

090.

Torpedoes-- they're on us, sir.

Launch evasion device now.

Aye-aye, sir.

Starboard, 10 degree runner.

Starboard, 10 degree runner.

[sonar beeping]

Torpedoes have begun circling amongst the evasion

devices, sir.

We beat 'em!

[laughs]

[sonar beeping]

AS RYAN ALFORD: Uh, sir, contact is turning.

He's on our tail again, bearing 060, drawing right.

He has secured his active sonar, sir.

Course 345.

Come to 150 feet.

CPO PETE LECROIX: 345.

Come to 150 feet.

Use a 10 [inaudible] bubble.

Chief, give me a fix on our location.

Slow her to 2/3.

Closest I can figure, sir, we're about five miles

bearing 220 from Nakhodka Point here.

If we turn and go deep, he's gonna find us and shoot again.

And if we stay here, he'll do the same.

What about here?

We're going to shoot straight through here.

The Tin Can Alley, sir?

These shoals are littered with the wrecks of ships

at about 100 foot depth that could tear us apart sir.

That's why we're gonna go there.

I mean, no one would risk following us inside.

Our best option is to hide in the last place anyone would

suspect an American submarine.

Right in the middle of Vladivostok harbor.

That would be touch and go, sir, but it just might work.

He's coming out of the noise field bearing 090, sir.

Set your course for 295.

That'll put him on the edge of our starboard baffles,

and he'll slide right by us.

Aye, sir.

Set for course 295.

MAN: Coming left at 295, sir.

This is Captain Sheffield.

I've reassumed command.

We've avoided a torpedo attack, and we don't have much

left to protect ourselves with.

We're about to execute a maneuver that might put

us in a vulnerable position.

If there's a war going on up there

we'll shoot first and ask questions later.

If we're lucky, the world is at peace.

You know why they call it Tin Can Alley?

Because from the air, there's so many shipwrecks

they look like tin cans.

Yeah, that's what they say.

Uh, I got one on my starboard side,

sir, bearing 350 at 650 yards, sir.

Helm, come to course 014.

MAN: Aye-aye, 014.

Obstruction coming up quickly, sir.

450 yards.

15 degree rudder.

MAN: 15 degree rudder.

Aye, sir.

Stand by.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: 3-5 turns.

Make 3-5 turns. MAN: Aye, sir.

3-5 turn.

002, sir.

Captain, it's close.

How close, chief?

Well, if I had an oar, sir, I could reach out and touch it.

Take it easy, son.

Right full rudder.

MAN: Right full rudder, aye.

Sir, Mako has Lansing in their sonar,

but she's submerged and entering Vladivostok

harbor through Tin Can Alley.

Mako can't risk following her in there and can't torpedo her.

So all we can do is sit around here and hope that Commander

Sheffield hasn't lost his mind.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Left, five degree rudder.

MAN: Five degree rudder.

Aye, sir.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Steady.

Make 3-0 turns.

MAN: 3-0 turns.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Steady as she goes.

Make 40 turns.

MAN: 4-0 turns.

Aye, sir.

I'll be damned.

Chief of the boat, put us on the surface.

Pass the word to stand down from battle stations.

Aye, sir.

Periscope down.

All hands stand down from battle stations.

Let's surface.

[cheering]

CPO PETE LECROIX [ON INTERCOM]: Surface, surface, surface.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah!

Woo!

It's one fine day here in Russia.

That it is, sir.

MAN: Permission for messenger to come to the bridge.

Granted.

Sir, about the radio, there's this static thing going on.

I might have guessed.

You might want to try this.

Seaman Rockwell, where'd you get that contraband?

It's roaming.

I picked it up in Tokyo, sir.

You're on the surface in Vladivostok harbor?

Imagine that.

I realize it's out of the ordinary, sir,

but nothing has been ordinary since we

lost all communications.

No one on the face of this Earth is more aware of that

than I am, captain.

Now, just what the hell happened to that ship of yours?

It's a long story, sir, and I plan to make a full report.

Well, you better have a damn good

explanation for why you were prepared to launch on your own.

That's why I ordered Mako to torpedo you.

Sir, I have an explanation, good or bad, for everything

that has occurred.

Well, I'm gonna have somebody put in a call to the Russians

explaining your sudden arrival in their harbor,

and I want you to convoy with Mako back to Pearl Harbor.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I'll be sure to pass that along.

Goodbye, sir.

Rockwell?

Yes, sir.

COMMANDER MILES SHEFFIELD: Pass the word.

Seaman Alford had a baby yesterday.

Mother and son are doing fine and looking

forward to his return.

That is if he can put his ears on

and help guide us out of here.

Yes, sir.
