Copy !req
17. On Tuesday at 10:00
in the morning Moscow time
Copy !req
18. the Russian parliament
was suspended
Copy !req
19. and martial law was declared.
Copy !req
20. With the government in crisis,
the Russian Republic
Copy !req
21. was entering into what can only
be described as a state of civil wan
Copy !req
22. Then yesterday at dawn,
Radchenko and rebel forces
Copy !req
23. seized the region around Vladivostok,
including a naval base
Copy !req
24. and a nuclear missile base
housing Russian ICBMs.
Copy !req
25. As regular Russian military forces
move in to encircle Radchenko
Copy !req
26. allied military forces
are in a state of high alert.
Copy !req
27. These French planes
taking off behind me
Copy !req
28. have been deployed
near the Caucasus
Copy !req
29. since the beginning of the crisis
Copy !req
30. and a crisis which started
in the Caucasus
Copy !req
31. has now spread to the Far East
Copy !req
32. and appears to be turning into
the worst standoff
Copy !req
33. since the Cuban missile crisis.
Copy !req
34. This is Richard Valeriani
reporting live for CNN
Copy !req
35. from the French aircraft carrier Foch
somewhere in the Mediterranean.
Copy !req
36. Abracadabra!
Copy !req
37. - I can't hear you.
- Abracadabra!
Copy !req
38. I need a volunteer from the audience.
Copy !req
39. - Me! Me!
- Me, me, me!
Copy !req
40. A brave volunteer.
Copy !req
41. Me! Me! Me!
Copy !req
42. Preferably...
Copy !req
43. Preferably somebody who was born
Copy !req
44. on October 18, 1990.
Copy !req
45. That's you, honey. That's you.
Copy !req
46. Over here? Over here?
Copy !req
47. You must be the birthday girl.
Copy !req
48. - What's your name?
- Robin.
Copy !req
49. Russian ultranationalist leader;
backed by his rebel army
Copy !req
50. threatened nuclear attack
on the United States and Japan.
Copy !req
51. The threats come as a response to the
US involvement in Chechnya
Copy !req
52. and are not considered idle.
Copy !req
53. Now sit on the board.
Copy !req
54. And tell me, Robin,
do you believe in magic?
Copy !req
55. - Where'd he go?
- Good. Because if you believe...
Copy !req
56. - I'll get him.
- ... we can suspend you in the air...
Copy !req
57. - Be right back.
- ... without the help of a flying carpet.
Copy !req
58. Meeting in an emergency session...
Copy !req
59. You'll miss your daughter's levitation.
Copy !req
60. while the President is sequestered
with his joint chiefs of staff
Copy !req
61. That footage was taken yesterday
but half an hour ago
Copy !req
62. surrounded by hostile forces,
rebel leader Vladimir Radchenko...
Copy !req
63. Maybe it's not as bad as it looks.
Copy !req
64. threatened to use nuclear arms
on the United States and Japan
Copy !req
65. should anyone,
including the Russian Army
Copy !req
66. attempt to move in on him.
Copy !req
67. Based on the history of this man
this can't be viewed as an idle threat.
Copy !req
68. - Sander Vanocur standing by...
- It is.
Copy !req
69. Commander Hunter.
Copy !req
70. Annapolis.
Copy !req
71. Five patrols on fast attacks.
Copy !req
72. Two on boomers, one as X.O.
Copy !req
73. A year at...
Copy !req
74. Excuse me. Harvard?
Copy !req
75. I talked to your former C.O.
He tells me he tried to adopt you.
Copy !req
76. As you no doubt heard,
my X.O. has appendicitis
Copy !req
77. He's the best I ever had.
Copy !req
78. I need a good man to fill his spot.
Copy !req
79. Your name was at the top of the list.
Copy !req
80. Well, that's good to know, sir.
Copy !req
81. It was a short list.
Copy !req
82. Your interests, Mr Hunter.
What do you like to do? Do you...
Copy !req
83. Do you paint, play ball, play
an instrument, ride motorcycles, what?
Copy !req
84. - I ride horses.
- Horses.
Copy !req
85. What's the best horse you ever rode?
Copy !req
86. - Arabian, sir.
- An Arabian? That's a powerful animal.
Copy !req
87. Yes.
Copy !req
88. - You ever ridden one?
- Me? Are you kidding?
Copy !req
89. I couldn't handle an Arabian.
Just give me an old paint.
Copy !req
90. Yeah, horses are fascinating animals.
Copy !req
91. Dumb as fence posts but very intuitive.
Copy !req
92. In that way, they're not too different
from high school girls.
Copy !req
93. They might not have
a brain in their head
Copy !req
94. but they do know
all the boys want to fuck 'em.
Copy !req
95. Don't have to be able to read Ulysses
to know where they're comin' from.
Copy !req
96. No, sir.
Copy !req
97. He approves of you.
Copy !req
98. Jack Russells. Smartest dogs alive.
Copy !req
99. Name's Bear.
Goes everyplace with me.
Copy !req
100. Well, welcome aboard
the Alabama, son.
Copy !req
101. - Do me proud.
- I will, sir.
Copy !req
102. - Congratulations, Mr Hunter.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
103. If one Russian citizen is killed
Copy !req
104. and I am president
Copy !req
105. then I will kill 900,000 of the people
who are responsible.
Copy !req
106. - You'd use nuclear weapons?
- Yes, I would hit them...
Copy !req
107. - Attention!
- . . . with nuclear weapons.
Copy !req
108. - At ease. Be seated.
- Sin such talk is highly inflammatory.
Copy !req
109. My dear young lady,
I do not engage in "talk. ”
Copy !req
110. These are serious threats, which I
hope to be in the position to carry out.
Copy !req
111. I take it you've seen enough?
Copy !req
112. Gentlemen, after a nice little vacation,
looks like we're back at it again.
Copy !req
113. I hope you enjoyed the peace, because
as of now, we're back in business.
Copy !req
114. In the good old days of Cold War,
the Russians could always
Copy !req
115. be depended on doing whatever is in
their own best interests.
Copy !req
116. But this Radchenko's playing
a whole new ball game
Copy !req
117. with a whole new set of rules.
Copy !req
118. Now I've heard people talk
Copy !req
119. but I don't think this man's talking
to get his picture in the paper.
Copy !req
120. He seems to have a serious weed
up his ass and a legitimate gripe.
Copy !req
121. Always a dangerous combination.
And I think he's capable
Copy !req
122. of doing every damn thing
he says he's going to do.
Copy !req
123. That's why we have to go out there
and give the man a moment of pause.
Copy !req
124. So ends theory.
Thus, let us begin the facts.
Copy !req
125. We've been informed by the NSA
Copy !req
126. that an entire rebel corps
of the Russian Army is involved.
Copy !req
127. That's four armoured divisions
numbering 60,000 men.
Copy !req
128. There seems to be massive defections.
Copy !req
129. Vladimir seems to be winning
the hearts and minds
Copy !req
130. of the Russian soldiers.
Copy !req
131. - Admiral.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
132. They've seized the region by
the Chinese and North Korean borders.
Copy !req
133. That includes a submarine base
Copy !req
134. from which they've surged
four Akula-class attack subs.
Copy !req
135. They have acquired
a nuclear base at Artem
Copy !req
136. that houses 25 hardened silos
for Russian ICBMs
Copy !req
137. armed with up to 10 warheads apiece.
Copy !req
138. Now the Russian government has
assured us that talks are underway.
Copy !req
139. They claim that Radchenko forces
do not possess the launch codes.
Copy !req
140. But if Radchenko were to crack them
Copy !req
141. they could launch against
our west coast direct
Copy !req
142. or come in over the Pole,
take out Washington and New York.
Copy !req
143. The Commander-in-Chief
has directed US military forces
Copy !req
144. to set DEFCON four.
Copy !req
145. We've been ordered
to get underway at 0600 hours
Copy !req
146. to assume alert coverage, mid-Pacific,
the Far Eastern I VD target package.
Copy !req
147. Please keep your men informed.
Copy !req
148. Lieutenant Commander Hunter
is our new X.O.
Copy !req
149. Please bring him up to speed
on ship's personnel and supplies.
Copy !req
150. - Admiral?
- No, that's it.
Copy !req
151. On your feet.
Copy !req
152. - Here we go again, Commander.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
153. You bet.
Copy !req
154. Hey, Bobby. This is Bobby Dougherty.
He's Supplies.
Copy !req
155. - Pleasure, Dougherty.
- Billy Linkletter, TSO.
Copy !req
156. - Mr Linkletter.
- Commander.
Copy !req
157. And you know Darik.
Copy !req
158. - Yes. Westergaurd. Long time no see.
- How's Julia?
Copy !req
159. - She's excellent.
- Good.
Copy !req
160. - And Roy Zimmer, Communications.
- Welcome aboard.
Copy !req
161. Thank you.
Copy !req
162. We served together
on the Baton Rouge.
Copy !req
163. - Twice.
- That's right. We're lucky to have him.
Copy !req
164. I think his dog gave me
the final seal of approval.
Copy !req
165. He's crazy about that dog.
Takes him everywhere.
Copy !req
166. The Navy looks the other way
'cause he's Ramsey.
Copy !req
167. Navy looks the other way
Copy !req
168. 'cause he's one of the few skippers left
who've seen combat.
Copy !req
169. - He took SEALS into Panama in '89.
- Tomahawks in the Gulf in '91.
Copy !req
170. - Took out eight or nine X.O.s in '94'?
- Ouch.
Copy !req
171. - Last one caught what? Appendicitis?
- Yeah, right.
Copy !req
172. - The Enemy Below.
- Robert Mitchum.
Copy !req
173. - And?
- And what?
Copy !req
174. - Robert Mitchum.
- Incomplete answer.
Copy !req
175. - The German guy with the white hair?
- Yeah. What's his name?
Copy !req
176. - Who was it?
- Curd Jürgens.
Copy !req
177. Hardy Kruger.
Copy !req
178. No way.
Copy !req
179. Robert Shaw in his Nazi period.
Copy !req
180. Question is invalid. We're even.
Copy !req
181. - How you doin'?
- I'm fine. Thanks.
Copy !req
182. Good. Address me as "sir"
when you speak to me!
Copy !req
183. Stand at attention, sailor!
Copy !req
184. Is he gonna fit in the sub?
Copy !req
185. Doubtful.
Copy !req
186. Who played
the German sub commander
Copy !req
187. in The Enemy Below
with Robert Mitchum?
Copy !req
188. - Was it Curd Jürgens or Hardy Kruger?
- Sir...
Copy !req
189. Wrong answer!
Drop down and give me 20! Now!
Copy !req
190. - Move! Move!
- One. Two.
Copy !req
191. - Run Silent, Run Deep.
- Three.
Copy !req
192. The guy with the ears
and a little moustache.
Copy !req
193. Cary Grant.
Copy !req
194. I'm worried about T.
Copy !req
195. - Why?
- She doesn't know what's goin' on.
Copy !req
196. I think she thinks
I'm goin' away forever.
Copy !req
197. - I'll take care of her.
- You will?
Copy !req
198. - Yeah.
- You promise?
Copy !req
199. I promise.
Copy !req
200. - I love you, Dad.
- I love you too, son.
Copy !req
201. Okay.
Copy !req
202. You know I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
203. Just say good-bye.
Copy !req
204. See you in my dreams.
Copy !req
205. Give me a kiss.
Copy !req
206. - Davis.
- How you doin', sir?
Copy !req
207. Crew present and accounted for, sir.
Copy !req
208. Little ducks,
Copy !req
209. there's trouble in Russia.
Copy !req
210. So they called us.
Copy !req
211. We're going over there and bringing
Copy !req
212. the most lethal killing machine
ever devised.
Copy !req
213. We're capable
of launching more firepower
Copy !req
214. than has ever been released
in the history of war.
Copy !req
215. For one purpose alone,
Copy !req
216. to keep our country safe.
Copy !req
217. We constitute the front line
Copy !req
218. and the last line of defence.
Copy !req
219. I expect and demand your very best.
Copy !req
220. Anything less,
you should have joined the Air Force.
Copy !req
221. This might be
our Commander-in-Chief's Navy,
Copy !req
222. but this is my boat.
Copy !req
223. And all I ask is that
you keep up with me.
Copy !req
224. And if you can't
Copy !req
225. that strange sensation you'll be feeling
in the seat of your pants
Copy !req
226. will be my boot in your ass.
Copy !req
227. - Mr Cob?
- Yes, sir!
Copy !req
228. You're aware of the name of this ship,
aren't you, Mr Cob?
Copy !req
229. Very aware, sir!
Copy !req
230. It bears a proud name,
doesn't it, Mr Cob?
Copy !req
231. Very proud, sir!
Copy !req
232. - It represents fine people.
- Very fine people, sir!
Copy !req
233. - Who live in a fine, outstanding state.
- Outstanding, sir!
Copy !req
234. In the greatest country
in the entire world.
Copy !req
235. In the entire world, sir.
Copy !req
236. - And what is that name, Mr Cob?
- Alabama, sir!
Copy !req
237. And what do we say?
Copy !req
238. - Go, 'Bama!
- Go, 'Bama!
Copy !req
239. - Roll tide!
- Roll tide!
Copy !req
240. Chief of the Boat, dismiss the crew.
Copy !req
241. Dismiss the crew. Aye-aye, sir.
Copy !req
242. Crew! Department heads!
Attend to your departments!
Copy !req
243. Fall out!
Copy !req
244. Here. Part of your qualification
for command.
Copy !req
245. The last breath of polluted air
for the next 65 days.
Copy !req
246. Gonna miss it.
Copy !req
247. I don't trust air I can't see.
Copy !req
248. This is my favourite part.
Copy !req
249. Right here, right now.
Copy !req
250. Bravo, Hunter.
Copy !req
251. Sir?
Copy !req
252. You knew to shut up
and enjoy the view.
Copy !req
253. Most eggheads want to talk it away.
Copy !req
254. Your stock just went up
a couple of points.
Copy !req
255. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
256. Allow me to give you
a tiny bit of advice.
Copy !req
257. If you want your own boat someday
Copy !req
258. the very worst thing you can do
Copy !req
259. is worry about yourself
or try to impress me.
Copy !req
260. I can't stand save-asses,
and I won't abide kiss-asses.
Copy !req
261. You keep your priorities straight:
your mission and your men.
Copy !req
262. How you like that cigar?
Copy !req
263. - it's good, sir.
- It's your first.
Copy !req
264. Yeah.
Copy !req
265. Don't like it too much.
They're more expensive than drugs.
Copy !req
266. X.O., take her down.
Copy !req
267. Take her down. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
268. Control, Bridge, sounding.
Copy !req
269. Bridge, Control,
sounding 130 fathoms.
Copy !req
270. - Lookouts, clear the bridge.
- Clear the bridge. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
271. Officer of the deck, prepare to dive.
Copy !req
272. - Captain down.
- Captain is down.
Copy !req
273. - X.O. down.
- X.O. is down.
Copy !req
274. - Submerge the ship.
- Diving Officer, submerge the ship.
Copy !req
275. - Make your depth 150 feet.
- Make my depth 150 feet. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
276. Chief of the watch,
on the 1MC, dive, dive!
Copy !req
277. Make your depth 150 feet.
Copy !req
278. Five degree down bubble.
Copy !req
279. - I don't understand.
- You don't understand?
Copy !req
280. Radchenko is a fanatic, okay?
He's a potential Hitler.
Copy !req
281. - Somebody should just shoot him.
- I have no problem with that.
Copy !req
282. - Good.
- Well, it's fanatics who make history.
Copy !req
283. - Colonel Patton was a fanatic.
- That's what made him great.
Copy !req
284. You think this guy is Patton?
Copy !req
285. He's a dangerous lunatic, threatening
nuclear war, and he means it.
Copy !req
286. What's that make us,
Copy !req
287. since we're the only nation
to ever drop a nuclear bomb?
Copy !req
288. It makes us a prime target.
Copy !req
289. There's a half a dozen
other Third World countries
Copy !req
290. with atom bombs
who'd love to drop one on us.
Copy !req
291. That's right. That's why
we should drop one on them.
Copy !req
292. Are you a communist?
Copy !req
293. You have a problem with us dropping
nuclear bombs on Japan?
Copy !req
294. Shut up, Dougherty.
Copy !req
295. You think it was a mistake, Mr Hunter?
Copy !req
296. Sir?
Copy !req
297. Using the bomb
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Copy !req
298. Well, if I thought that, sir,
I wouldn't be here.
Copy !req
299. - Interesting way you put that.
- How'd I put it, sir?
Copy !req
300. Very carefully.
Copy !req
301. You do qualify your remarks.
Copy !req
302. Somebody asked me if we
should have bombed Japan,
Copy !req
303. a simple, "Yes, by all means, sir.
Drop that fucker. Twice."
Copy !req
304. I don't mean to suggest
that you're indecisive, Mr Hunter.
Copy !req
305. NOT at all.
Copy !req
306. Just complicated.
Copy !req
307. Of course, that's the way
the Navy wants you.
Copy !req
308. Me, they wanted simple.
Copy !req
309. Well, you certainly fooled them, sir.
Copy !req
310. Be careful there, Mr Hunter.
Copy !req
311. It's all I got to rely on,
bein' a simpleminded son of a bitch.
Copy !req
312. Rickhover gave me my command,
Copy !req
313. a checklist, a target
and a button to push.
Copy !req
314. All I had to know is how to push it.
Copy !req
315. They'd tell me when.
They seem to want you to know why.
Copy !req
316. I would hope they'd want us all
to know why, sir.
Copy !req
317. At the Naval War College,
Copy !req
318. it was metallurgy and nuclear reactors,
not 19th-century philosophy.
Copy !req
319. "War is a continuation of politics
by other means."
Copy !req
320. Von Clausewitz.
Copy !req
321. I think, sir, that what he was actually
trying to say was a little more...
Copy !req
322. Complicated?
Copy !req
323. Yes, the purpose of war is
to serve a political end,
Copy !req
324. but the true nature of war
is to serve itself.
Copy !req
325. I'm very impressed.
Copy !req
326. In other words, the sailor
most likely to win the war
Copy !req
327. is the one most willing to part
company with the politicians
Copy !req
328. and ignore everything except
the destruction of the enemy.
Copy !req
329. You'd agree with that.
Copy !req
330. I'd agree that that's what Clausewitz
was trying to say.
Copy !req
331. But you wouldn't agree with it?
Copy !req
332. No, sir, I do not.
Copy !req
333. No, I just think that in the nuclear world
Copy !req
334. the true enemy can't be destroyed.
Copy !req
335. Attention on deck.
Copy !req
336. Von Clausewitz will now tell us
exactly who the real enemy is.
Copy !req
337. Von?
Copy !req
338. In my humble opinion,
in the nuclear world
Copy !req
339. the true enemy is war itself.
Copy !req
340. Everywhere I go your face I see
Copy !req
341. Every step I take
Copy !req
342. You take with me
Copy !req
343. Nowhere to run to, baby
Copy !req
344. Nowhere to hide
Copy !req
345. Got nowhere to run, baby
Copy !req
346. Nowhere to hide
Copy !req
347. I know you're no good for me
Copy !req
348. But free of you I'll never be, baby
Copy !req
349. Move!
Copy !req
350. Fire in the galley! Chief of the watch,
sound the general alarm!
Copy !req
351. Forward damage control, bring
additional tire extinguishers to the...
Copy !req
352. Fire's out of control. He's hurtin'.
Copy !req
353. - You hit the kill switch?
- Couldn't get to it. Too hot.
Copy !req
354. Attention, all hands.
Fire has been contained.
Copy !req
355. Damage control party
assess damage and report to Control.
Copy !req
356. Initiate weapons system readiness test.
Copy !req
357. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
358. All right, station a ref lash watch.
This thing could flare back up again.
Copy !req
359. Conn, Radio, we are receiving flash
traffic emergency action message.
Copy !req
360. Recommend alert one.
Recommend alert one.
Copy !req
361. Alert one. Man battle stations missile
for weapons systems readiness test.
Copy !req
362. Spin up all missiles.
Copy !req
363. What the hell is he runnin'
a missile drill now for?
Copy !req
364. - You're in charge.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
365. Man battle stations missiles
for weapons system readiness test.
Copy !req
366. Spin up all missiles.
This is an exercise.
Copy !req
367. Captain's in Control.
Copy !req
368. I agree.
The message is properly formatted.
Copy !req
369. Sir, we have a properly formatted
emergency action message
Copy !req
370. for weapons system readiness test, sir.
Copy !req
371. - I concur, sir.
- Where's the X O.?
Copy !req
372. - Sir.
- Good of you to make it, Mr Hunter
Copy !req
373. Get the authenticator.
Copy !req
374. Get the authenticator.
Copy !req
375. Let's go.
Copy !req
376. Sir, request permission to authenticate.
Copy !req
377. Permission granted. Authenticate.
Copy !req
378. "Alpha, Alpha, Bravo,
Echo, Charlie, Zulu, Tango."
Copy !req
379. "Alpha, Alpha, Bravo, Echo,
Charlie, Zulu, Tango."
Copy !req
380. - Captain, message is authentic.
- I concur, sir.
Copy !req
381. - I agree.
- Message is authentic.
Copy !req
382. Sir, your captain's missile key.
Copy !req
383. Set condition 1SQ for WSRT.
This is the captain. This is an exercise.
Copy !req
384. Set condition 1SQ for WSRT.
This is the X.O. This is an exercise.
Copy !req
385. Captain, that fire in the galley
could still flare...
Copy !req
386. Now is not the time.
Make your depth 150 feet. All stop.
Copy !req
387. Make my depth 150 feet. All stop.
Aye, sir.
Copy !req
388. Weapons, Conn,
simulate pressurising, all tubes.
Copy !req
389. Conn, Weapons,
simulate pressurising, all missiles.
Copy !req
390. Aye-aye, sir.
Copy !req
391. Simulate pressurising, all missiles.
Copy !req
392. Simulate pressurising, all missiles.
Aye.
Copy !req
393. All stations, proceed to 1SQ.
Copy !req
394. Ready all missiles for launch.
Come on, guys. Let's go!
Copy !req
395. Weapons, Captain,
report approximate time for 1SQ.
Copy !req
396. Captain, Weapons, approximate time
to weapons system 1SQ
Copy !req
397. 14 minutes, sir.
Copy !req
398. Ship is at launch depth.
Ready to hover, sir.
Copy !req
399. - Very well. Commence hovering.
- Commence hovering. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
400. Control, Sick Bay,
Copy !req
401. Chief Petty Officer Marichek
is undergoing cardiac arrest.
Copy !req
402. - We're beginning CPR.
- Chief of the watch, on the 1MC.
Copy !req
403. Gentlemen, may I have
your attention, please?
Copy !req
404. We've received word that a shipmate
is experiencing a medical problem.
Copy !req
405. We're terminating the drill.
Copy !req
406. Mr Mahoney, take the Conn.
I'm going below.
Copy !req
407. - X.O.
- Aye, sir. I have the Conn.
Copy !req
408. Clear.
Copy !req
409. Clear.
Copy !req
410. It's okay, Chief.
Copy !req
411. Thank you, sir. Sorry, sir.
Copy !req
412. Hiya, boy. Hiya, hiya, hiya.
Copy !req
413. How ya doin'? Oh, boy. Yeah.
Copy !req
414. So, Mr Hunter, do you think
I was wrong to run that drill?
Copy !req
415. Not necessarily, sir.
Copy !req
416. - Do you think I got that man killed?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
417. One thing had nothing to do
with the other. It was an accident.
Copy !req
418. - Would you have run the drill?
- No, sir, I wouldn't have.
Copy !req
419. Why not?
Copy !req
420. The fire in the galley
could have flared back up.
Copy !req
421. - I would have seen to it first, sir.
- I'm sure you would have.
Copy !req
422. Me, on the other hand, I tend to think
that's the best time to run a drill.
Copy !req
423. Confusion on the ship
is nothing to fear.
Copy !req
424. It should be taken advantage of.
Copy !req
425. Lest you forget, Mr Hunter, we are
a ship of war, designed for battle.
Copy !req
426. You don't just fight battles
when everything is hunky-dory.
Copy !req
427. What'd you think, son?
I was just some crazy old coot
Copy !req
428. putting everyone in harm's way
as I yell "yee-haw"?
Copy !req
429. That was not my first thought, sir.
Copy !req
430. But there's no excuse. At the time
I was fighting the fire in the galley
Copy !req
431. I did not agree with your call, sir.
Copy !req
432. Take a seat.
Copy !req
433. Just so we understand each other
Copy !req
434. I don't have any problems
with questions or doubts.
Copy !req
435. As I said to you before, I'm not
seeking the company of kiss-asses.
Copy !req
436. When you got somethin' to say to me,
you say it in private.
Copy !req
437. And if privacy doesn't permit itself,
then you bite your fucking tongue.
Copy !req
438. - Are we clear about that, Commander?
- As a bell, sir.
Copy !req
439. Those sailors out there are just boys,
Copy !req
440. boys who are training to do a terrible
and unthinkable thing,
Copy !req
441. and if that ever occurs
Copy !req
442. the only reassurance they'll have
that they're doing the proper thing
Copy !req
443. is gonna derive from their unqualified
belief in the unified chain of command.
Copy !req
444. That means we don't question each
other's motives in front of the crew.
Copy !req
445. It means
we don't undermine each other.
Copy !req
446. It means in a missile drill
Copy !req
447. they hear your voice right after mine,
without hesitation.
Copy !req
448. - Do you agree with that policy, sailor?
- Absolutely, sir.
Copy !req
449. We're here to preserve democracy,
not to practise it.
Copy !req
450. There'll be e memorial service in
the enlisted men's mess at 1100 hours.
Copy !req
451. - Go see to it.
- Aye-aye, sir.
Copy !req
452. Oh, Hunter.
Copy !req
453. Short of the outbreak of World War III,
Copy !req
454. the ship sinking or being
attacked by a giant octopus,
Copy !req
455. I'd like to be undisturbed
for the next 30 minutes.
Copy !req
456. I'll see to it, sir.
Copy !req
457. By the way, it was Marichek's
300 pounds that killed him.
Copy !req
458. Not the fire.
Copy !req
459. Dismissed.
Copy !req
460. One, two, three, four.
Copy !req
461. Back. Back.
Copy !req
462. One, two. One, two.
Copy !req
463. - You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Copy !req
464. Does it make any sense to you to start
a drill in the middle of a fire?
Copy !req
465. - Fire was out, wasn't it?
- Yeah, and a man died, too.
Copy !req
466. - Not 'cause of what the captain did.
- What?
Copy !req
467. - Not 'cause of what the captain did.
- Weps...
Copy !req
468. A fire is a serious threat to the ship.
Now where was he?
Copy !req
469. - Why didn't he check it out first, huh?
- That's his style.
Copy !req
470. - He's a hard-ass.
- So what?
Copy !req
471. So you wanna fight him, go ahead.
Copy !req
472. You wanna get along, you gotta get
to understand him a little bit.
Copy !req
473. Two schools of thought here.
Copy !req
474. To him, you're Annapolis, Harvard,
Copy !req
475. expert on theory,
well-versed in world affairs.
Copy !req
476. He's had his head up his ass
drivin' ships for the last 25 years.
Copy !req
477. He's probably
a little paranoid about that.
Copy !req
478. I mean, Navy's all he's got.
Copy !req
479. Navy and that little rat-dog of his.
Copy !req
480. That's why his wife left him.
Copy !req
481. So what are you saying?
Copy !req
482. I'm just sayin' watch out.
Give him a little room.
Copy !req
483. Let him get to know you.
Copy !req
484. You do pants, too?
Copy !req
485. Conn, Radio:
receiving emergency action message.
Copy !req
486. Recommend alert one.
Recommend alert one!
Copy !req
487. Alert one! Alert one!
Incoming emergency action message!
Copy !req
488. Alert one! Alert one! Incoming EAM.
Copy !req
489. Captain.
Copy !req
490. Captain has asked me to brief you
Copy !req
491. on the emergency action message
we just received.
Copy !req
492. As you know, before we got underway,
Copy !req
493. the Russian army was in position
and circling the rebel camps,
Copy !req
494. and Radchenko started making
extravagant threats
Copy !req
495. should anyone move in on him
Copy !req
496. that he would launch
his land-based nuclear weapons
Copy !req
497. at the United States and at Japan.
Copy !req
498. The only safeguard was
Copy !req
499. that the Russian government
controlled the launch codes.
Copy !req
500. Intel now indicates that those
launch codes have been compromised.
Copy !req
501. US military forces have been
directed to set DEFCON three.
Copy !req
502. The last time we hit
this state of emergency
Copy !req
503. was 32-and-a-half years ago
during the Cuban missile crisis.
Copy !req
504. So this is what it's all about,
gentlemen. It's what we train for.
Copy !req
505. Captain.
Copy !req
506. The NCA has determined
Copy !req
507. that should our satellites detect
rebel missiles being fueled,
Copy !req
508. which means they could be
launched in just over one hour,
Copy !req
509. we'll be compelled to act.
Copy !req
510. Now given our patrol sector
here in the Emperor Sea Mounts,
Copy !req
511. it seems clear that our friends
in the Pentagon
Copy !req
512. are setting us up for
a potential preemptive strike.
Copy !req
513. It's important to remain focused.
Copy !req
514. Keep your men informed.
Copy !req
515. Any questions?
Copy !req
516. Dismissed.
Copy !req
517. We lost that frying unit, and then
we can't get the same capacity in...
Copy !req
518. Hey, man!
Copy !req
519. I'm gonna fuck you up! Get out! Get...
Copy !req
520. Get out of here, man! Get him out!
Motherfucker!
Copy !req
521. - Fuckin' piece of shit.
- Bennefield, you crazy, man?
Copy !req
522. - Rivetti, what's up?
- I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
523. It's just a difference of opinion
that got out of hand.
Copy !req
524. What about?
Copy !req
525. It's really too silly to talk about, sir.
I'd rather just forget about...
Copy !req
526. I don't give a damn about
what you'd rather forget about.
Copy !req
527. Why were you two fighting?
Copy !req
528. I said that the Kirby Silver Surfer
was the only real Silver Surfer
Copy !req
529. and that the Moebius Silver Surfer
was shit.
Copy !req
530. And Bennefield's a big Moebius fan,
and...
Copy !req
531. It just got out of hand.
I pushed him, he pushed me.
Copy !req
532. - I lost my head, sir. I'm sorry.
- Rivetti, you're a supervisor.
Copy !req
533. You can get a commission like that.
Copy !req
534. I know it, sir. You're 100% right.
Copy !req
535. - it'll never happen again.
- It better not happen again.
Copy !req
536. I see this kind of nonsense, I'm gonna
write you up. You understand?
Copy !req
537. - Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
538. You have to set an example
even in the face of stupidity.
Copy !req
539. Everybody that reads comic books
Copy !req
540. knows that Kirby Silver Surfer
is the only true Silver Surfer.
Copy !req
541. - Now am I right or wrong?
- You're right, sir.
Copy !req
542. - All right. Get out of here.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
543. - Captain.
- How can I help you?
Copy !req
544. Test results from the missile drill.
Copy !req
545. This the best they can do?
Copy !req
546. No, sir, but that's what they did.
Copy !req
547. I want this down to five minutes.
Train on it.
Copy !req
548. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
549. Tell your buddy Weps
we're gonna do it again.
Copy !req
550. We're gonna keep on doin' it
until he gets it right.
Copy !req
551. Damn.
Copy !req
552. Feels like the whole crew
needs a kick in the ass.
Copy !req
553. Or a pat on the back, sir.
Copy !req
554. I just witnessed a fight down in
crew's mess. No big deal,
Copy !req
555. but I think the men are a little on edge
with all we're going through.
Copy !req
556. Morale seems to be a bit low.
Copy !req
557. Well, you seem to have
the pulse of the men.
Copy !req
558. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
559. May I have your attention, please?
Copy !req
560. Mr Hunter has informed me
that morale may be a bit low,
Copy !req
561. that you may be a bit...
Copy !req
562. - On edge.
- On edge.
Copy !req
563. So I suggest this,
Copy !req
564. any crew member who feels
he can't handle the situation
Copy !req
565. can leave the ship right now.
Copy !req
566. Gentlemen, we're at DEFCON three.
Copy !req
567. War is imminent.
Copy !req
568. This is the captain.
Copy !req
569. That is all.
Copy !req
570. Very inspiring, sir.
Copy !req
571. Come on, Bear. Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
572. Sup? Come here.
Copy !req
573. You hear that?
Copy !req
574. I've got a broadband Contact
bearing 047.
Copy !req
575. Assigning tracker sierra in ATF.
Copy !req
576. Conn, Sonar, we have a possible
submerged submarine bearing 047.
Copy !req

Copy !req
578. Sonar, Conn, aye.
Man battle stations torpedo.

579. - Rig for ultraquiet.
- Make tubes one and four fully ready.
Copy !req
580. Make tubes one and four fully ready.
Aye, sir.
Copy !req
581. Man battle stations torpedo.
Copy !req
582. All right, what do you got?
Copy !req
583. Sir, we have a possible
submerged submarine
Copy !req
584. bearing 049, designate master 28.
Copy !req
585. Best depth for evasion, sir,
is 831 feet to avoid that sub.
Copy !req
586. Lieutenant Mahoney,
this is the captain.
Copy !req
587. Increase your speed to standard.
Come left to course 270.
Copy !req
588. Make your depth 831 feet, smartly.
Copy !req
589. - You find out who that is.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
590. Who are you, sweetheart?
Copy !req
591. Helm, all ahead standard.
Copy !req
592. Dive. Make your depth
831 feet, smartly.
Copy !req
593. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
594. Conn, Radio,

Copy !req
595. Recommend alert one.
Recommend alert one.
Copy !req

Copy !req

Copy !req
616. Spin up missiles one through five
and 20 through 24.
Copy !req
617. The release of nuclear weapons
has been authorised.
Copy !req
618. This is not a drill.
Copy !req
619. X.O., take the Conn. I'm going
to my stateroom for the launch keys.
Copy !req
620. X.O. has the Conn.

Copy !req
622. Spin up missiles one through five,

Copy !req
623. The release of nuclear weapons

Copy !req
624. This is the X O.
Copy !req
625. Conn, Weapons, estimated time
to 1SQ for strategic launch
Copy !req
626. is 14 minutes, sir.
Copy !req
627. One, two, three, four, five, six.
Copy !req
628. Go, sailor, go.
Copy !req
629. Set condition 1SQ

Copy !req
630. Comin' through!
Copy !req
631. Spin up missiles one through five

- The captain has the Conn.
Copy !req
633. Passing 550 feet.
Copy !req
634. Conn, Radio, sir, we're out of VLF radio
range. Full message capacity is cut off.
Copy !req
635. Radio, Conn, extend
extremely low frequency antenna.
Copy !req
636. Passing 600 feet.
Coming to 831 feet, sir.
Copy !req
637. Oh, Jesus. Oh, God.
Copy !req
638. Conn, Sonar, sir,
we have his classification.
Copy !req
639. Mark that tape.
Get the classification on your monitor.
Copy !req
640. Rivetti, what the hell is going on?
Copy !req
641. Sir, the master 28 is classified as
a Russian Akula-class hunter-killer.
Copy !req
642. Bearing 196, sir! He's close,
but I don't think he's spotted us.
Copy !req
643. - Stay on him!
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
644. - Captain has the Conn.
- Passing 800 feet, sir.
Copy !req

Give me five degree down bubble.
Copy !req
646. - Continue rigging for ultraquiet.
- Aye, aye, sir.
Copy !req
647. Five degree down bubble.
Rigging for ultraquiet, sir.
Copy !req
648. Gentlemen, this is the captain.
Copy !req
649. We have an Akula-class submarine
out there.
Copy !req
650. We know Radchenko controls
at least four submarines.
Copy !req
651. This could be one of them.
Copy !req
652. Russian rebels have threatened
to launch against our country
Copy !req
653. and are fueling right now.
Copy !req
654. They will have launch capability
in 60 minutes.
Copy !req
655. We have orders
to launch our missiles,
Copy !req
656. which is exactly
what we're going to do.
Copy !req
657. We are rigging for ultraquiet.
All hands, be ready.
Copy !req
658. This is as real as it gets.
Copy !req
659. We 'll presume nothing,
defend ourselves at all cost.
Copy !req
660. If that sub even comes around
or opens up e tube door;
Copy !req
661. we'll take her out.
Copy !req
662. Passing 900 feet.
Copy !req
663. - He's gone.
- Like hell he is.
Copy !req
664. He's up there.
Copy !req
665. 950.
Copy !req
666. Conn, Weapons, missile systems
ready to launch in 11 minutes.
Copy !req
667. Conn, Radio, receiving transmission on
extremely low frequency receiver, sir.
Copy !req
668. Very well.
Mr Hunter, go to Radio, please.
Copy !req
669. - Okay, pull up the code.
- What do you got?
Copy !req
670. X.O., incoming EAM,
but we're too deep
Copy !req
671. to receive
any radio communication, sir.
Copy !req
672. - Captain.
- X O.
Copy !req
673. We got a limited radio transmission
indicating an incoming EA M.
Copy !req
674. We need to go shallow
to reestablish communications.
Copy !req
675. With that sub still up there?
Mr Hunter, it's my...
Copy !req
676. - Come up to Conn, Mr Hunter.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
677. - Zero bubble.
- Zero bubble. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
678. 1,275 feet, sir.
Copy !req
679. Conn, Weapons, missile systems
ready to launch in 10 minutes.
Copy !req
680. - Sir.
- Attention, all hands.
Copy !req
681. - Ship has been rigged for ultraquiet.
- Captain?
Copy !req
682. When our missile system
is ready, Mr Hunter,
Copy !req
683. it is my intention to rise to launch depth
launch our birds
Copy !req
684. and then get the hell out of there.
Not until then.
Copy !req
685. I can't jeopardise
the safety of this ship.
Copy !req
686. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
687. May I suggest that we float
the buoy, sir? We have enough cable.
Copy !req
688. That should give us enough reach
to receive the EAM transmission.
Copy !req
689. Sir.
Copy !req
690. Very well. Float the buoy.
Copy !req
691. Chief of the watch, float the buoy.
Copy !req
692. Float the radio buoy. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
693. Radio buoy deploying, sir.
Tension 2,000 pounds.
Copy !req
694. Very well.
Copy !req
695. Conn, Weapons, estimated time
to 1SQ, 8 minutes, 30 seconds, sir.
Copy !req
696. The winch!
Copy !req
697. Conn, Sonar; we have a sound short
from the buoy winch!
Copy !req
698. Stop the goddamn winch!
Copy !req
699. Winch is stopped, sir!
Copy !req
700. Goddamn it.
Copy !req
701. TSO, is that sound still out there?
Copy !req
702. Sonar, TSO,
is that sound still out there?
Copy !req
703. Sound's gone, sir.
Copy !req
704. I'm getting something.
Copy !req
705. Sup, he's comin' around!
Copy !req
706. Conn, Sonar,
the Akula's turning toward, sir!
Copy !req
707. Conn, Sonar, torpedo in the water!
Bearing 241!
Copy !req
708. Conn, Sonar, second torpedo
in the water! Bearing 242!
Copy !req
709. All ahead flank! Right full rudder!
Copy !req
710. Conn, Sonar,
3,000 yards and closing, sir!
Copy !req
711. Manoeuvring, Conn, cavitate! Cavitate!
Copy !req
712. - Sound the collision alarm!
- Sound collision alarm! Aye, sir!
Copy !req
713. - 2, 500 yards.
- Rig ship for impact!
Copy !req
714. Hang onto your ass, gentlemen!
Copy !req
715. 2,000 yards.
Copy !req
716. 1,500 yards.
Copy !req
717. Bearing 070! 071! 1,200 yards!
Copy !req
718. 1,000 yards and closing fast!
Copy !req
719. Conn, Radio,
receiving emergency action message.
Copy !req
720. Recommend alert one!
Copy !req
721. 950 yards!
Copy !req
722. Launch a five-inch evasion device.
Launch the countermeasures.
Copy !req
723. - Countermeasures away, sir.
- Shift your rudder to left full.
Copy !req
724. 500 yards and closing fast.
Copy !req
725. 300 yards and closing, sir.
Copy !req
726. Sir, the first torpedo's going
after the countermeasures!
Copy !req
727. They missed! They missed!
Copy !req
728. Sonar, Conn, Conn, Sonar,
second torpedo incoming!
Copy !req
729. It's gonna be close!
Copy !req
730. Conn, Sonar; the Akula's disappeared
in the thermal, sir.
Copy !req
731. All ahead standard!
Rudder amidships!
Copy !req
732. All ahead standard.
Rudder amid ships. Aye.
Copy !req
733. All stations.
Copy !req
734. All stations, report damage.
Report damage.
Copy !req
735. Engine room reports
number one ASW pump failed.
Copy !req
736. Control, Torpedo Room,
three feet of water in the bilge.
Copy !req
737. Request a team
with a submersible pump.
Copy !req
738. Control, Engine Room,
request all E-division personnel
Copy !req
739. lay to the engine room
to assist in ground isolation.
Copy !req
740. Sonar, Conn, report hostile contact.
Copy !req
741. - Conn, Sonar we lost him, sir.
- Well, keep looking.
Copy !req
742. - He's out there looking for us.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
743. Weapons, Conn,
estimated time to 1SQ.
Copy !req
744. Conn, Weapons, missile systems
ready to launch
Copy !req
745. - in six minutes.
- Very well.
Copy !req
746. Main seawater pump
is out of commission.
Copy !req
747. Mr Zimmer, where's that EAM?
Copy !req
748. - You all right, son?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
749. - That's it?
- it's incomplete, sir.
Copy !req
750. We lost it when the radio buoy cable
got severed.
Copy !req
751. All right.
Copy !req
752. All right, gentlemen, let's get on with it.
Copy !req
753. All ahead one-third.
Copy !req
754. Steady as you go.
Copy !req
755. All ahead one-third. Steady. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
756. Make your depth 150 feet. Zero bubble.
Copy !req
757. Up slow and silent to launch depth.
Copy !req
758. Up slow and silent to launch depth.
Aye-aye, Captain.
Copy !req
759. Captain? Got the EAM.
Copy !req
760. - What do you think?
- I think there's nothing on this.
Copy !req
761. Yes, sir. It got cut off during the attack.
Copy !req
762. Then it's meaningless.
Copy !req
763. Sir, this is an EAM
pertaining to nuclear missiles.
Copy !req
764. No, Mr Hunter,
that's a message fragment.
Copy !req
765. Because it got cut off
during the attack, sir.
Copy !req
766. The message could mean anything.
It could be a message to abort.
Copy !req
767. - It could be a message...
- Could be a fake Russian transmission.
Copy !req
768. Which is exactly why
we need to confirm it, sir.
Copy !req
769. All I'm asking for is the time we need
to get back on line.
Copy !req
770. - Calm down, Mr Hunter.
- I am calm.
Copy !req
771. You don't appear to be calm.
Copy !req
772. Conn, Weapons, missile systems
ready to launch in four minutes.
Copy !req
773. - Step aside, seamen.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
774. We have orders in hand,
Copy !req
775. and those orders are
to make a preemptive launch.
Copy !req
776. Every second that we lose
increases the chances
Copy !req
777. that by the time our missiles arrive,
their silos could be empty,
Copy !req
778. 'cause they've flown their birds
and struck us first.
Copy !req
779. - Yes, sir.
- You know as well as I do
Copy !req
780. that any launch order received
without authentication is no order at all.
Copy !req
781. - Captain, National...
- That's our number 1 rule.
Copy !req
782. That rule is the basis for the scenario
we've trained on time and time again.
Copy !req
783. - Yes, sir.
- It's a rule we follow without exception.
Copy !req
784. Captain, National Military Command
Centre knows what sector we're in.
Copy !req
785. They have satellites looking down
on us to see if our birds are aloft.
Copy !req
786. And if they're not, then they give
our orders to somebody else.
Copy !req
787. That's why we maintain more than one
sub. It's what they call "redundancy."
Copy !req
788. - I know about redundancy, Mr Hunter.
- All I'm saying...
Copy !req
789. All I'm saying, Captain,
is that we have backup.
Copy !req
790. Now, it's our duty not to launch
until we can confirm.
Copy !req
791. You're presuming that we have other
submarines out there ready to launch.
Copy !req
792. But as captain, I must assume
Copy !req
793. that our submarines could have been
taken out by other Akulas.
Copy !req
794. We can play these games all night,
Mr Hunter, but I don't have the luxury
Copy !req
795. - of your presumptions
- Sir...
Copy !req
796. Mr Hunter, we have rules
that are not open to interpretation,
Copy !req
797. personal intuition, gut feelings,
hairs on the back of your neck,
Copy !req
798. little devils or angels
sitting on your shoulders.
Copy !req
799. - Captain...
- We're all very well aware
Copy !req
800. of what our orders are
and what those orders mean.
Copy !req
801. They come down from
our Commander-in-Chief.
Copy !req
802. They contain no ambiguity.
Copy !req
803. - Captain, sir...
- Mr Hunter, I've made the decision.
Copy !req
804. I'm captain of this boat.
Now shut the fuck up!
Copy !req
805. Damn.
Copy !req
806. Weapons, Conn,
Copy !req
807. shift targeting
to target package SLBM 64741/2.
Copy !req
808. This is the captain.
Copy !req
809. - Captain, I cannot concur.
- Repeat my command.
Copy !req
810. Sir, we don't know what this means.
Copy !req
811. Our target package
could have changed.
Copy !req
812. You repeat this order
or I'll find somebody who will!
Copy !req
813. - Hell, no, you won't, sir.
- You're relieved of your position.
Copy !req
814. Cob, remove Mr Hunter
from the control room.
Copy !req
815. - Get Lieutenant Zimmer in here now!
- No, sir, I do not concur
Copy !req
816. and I do not recognise your authority
to relieve me
Copy !req
817. on the command
under Navy regulations.
Copy !req
818. - Cob, arrest this man and get him out!
- Captain Ramsey,
Copy !req
819. under operating procedures governing
the release of nuclear weapons
Copy !req
820. we cannot launch our missiles
unless both you and I agree!
Copy !req
821. - Cob, what are you waiting for?
- Now this is more than formality, sir.
Copy !req
822. This is why your command must
be repeated! It requires my assent!
Copy !req
823. I do not give it, and, furthermore,
you continue upon this course
Copy !req
824. and insist upon this launch
without confirming this message first...
Copy !req
825. - Son of a bitch. Chief of the boat...
- I will be forced,
Copy !req
826. backed by the rules of precedents...
Copy !req
827. As captain and commanding officer
of the USS Alabama...
Copy !req
828. authority and command regulation
08150H6...
Copy !req
829. I order you to place the X.O.
under arrest on the charge of mutiny!
Copy !req
830. of the Navy regulations to relieve you
of command, Captain!
Copy !req
831. I say again, I order you
to place the X.O. under arrest
Copy !req
832. on the charge of mutiny!
Copy !req
833. - Cob!
- Captain, please, the X.O. is right.
Copy !req
834. We can't launch unless he concurs.
Copy !req
835. "To the USS Alabama.
Copy !req
836. "Rebel-controlled missiles
being fueled.
Copy !req
837. "Launch codes compromised.
Copy !req
838. "Dissidents threaten launch
at continental United States.
Copy !req
839. "Set DEFCON two.
Copy !req
840. "Immediately launch
10 Trident missile sorties."
Copy !req
841. They're fueling their missiles!
We don't have time to fuck around!
Copy !req
842. Sir, I think you need time
to think this over.
Copy !req
843. I don't have to think this over!
Copy !req
844. Captain, I relieve you
of your command of this ship.
Copy !req
845. Cob, escort the captain
to his stateroom.
Copy !req
846. - I'm assuming command.
- You're not assuming anything.
Copy !req
847. Chief of the Boat,
Captain Ramsey's under arrest.
Copy !req
848. Lock him in his stateroom.
Copy !req
849. - Captain, please...
- Now, Cob!
Copy !req
850. Aye, sir. Mitchell! Walker!
Copy !req
851. Take the captain below.
Copy !req
852. You're way out of your league, Hunter.
Copy !req
853. You're not ready to make
tough decisions yet.
Copy !req
854. What the hell we waitin' for?
Copy !req
855. Anybody here disagrees
with what I've done,
Copy !req
856. then you feel free
to relieve yourself of duty now.
Copy !req
857. Anybody?
Copy !req
858. All right.
Copy !req
859. - All stations.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
860. This is the Executive Officer.
Copy !req
861. I have assumed command of this ship
Copy !req
862. under authority granted me
by Navy regulations.
Copy !req
863. I have relieved Captain Ramsey of
his duties for acting in contravention
Copy !req
864. of the rules and regulations
regarding nuclear weapons release.
Copy !req
865. It is my intention
to delay the missile launch,
Copy !req
866. maintaining our current state
of readiness,
Copy !req
867. pending confirmation
of an emergency action message
Copy !req
868. that was cut off during the attack.
Copy !req
869. Remain at battle stations missile.
Copy !req
870. Carry on.
Copy !req
871. What the hell are we doin', Fred?
Copy !req
872. I don't know about you,
but I'm pissin' my pants.
Copy !req
873. Come on, boy.
Copy !req
874. Conn, Weapons, Russians will have
missile launch capability
Copy !req
875. in 39 minutes.
Copy !req
876. Chief of the Boat.
Copy !req
877. Sir?
Copy !req
878. Thank you, Cob.
Copy !req
879. "Thank you"? Fuck you.
Copy !req
880. Get it straight, Mr Hunter.
I'm not on your side.
Copy !req
881. Now you could be wrong.
Copy !req
882. But wrong or right, the captain can't
just replace you at will.
Copy !req
883. That was completely improper.
Copy !req
884. And that's why I did what I did,
by the book.
Copy !req
885. I thank you anyway.
Copy !req
886. Radio, Conn, Mr Zimmer, get those
communications back on line now.
Copy !req
887. We're working on it, sir.
Aye, aye, Captain.
Copy !req
888. - Are you ready?
- Ready. Go.
Copy !req
889. Jesus. This fuckin' thing...
Copy !req
890. You know, this whole system
is crashed, radio buoy is severed.
Copy !req
891. - What the fuck does he want us to do?
- Shit electrons?
Copy !req
892. Hey, Vossler, we need communications
not smart-ass remarks.
Copy !req
893. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
894. - All stop, ten degrees up.
- Ten up. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
895. All stop. Aye, sir. Enters all stop.
Copy !req
896. Conn, Sonar, holy shit, sir!
He's right on top of us!
Copy !req
897. He's turning toward!
Copy !req
898. - Range?
- 600 yards!
Copy !req
899. Conn, Sonar, torpedoes in the water!
Bearing 048, 050!
Copy !req
900. - Left full rudder!
- Left full rudder! Aye, sir!
Copy !req
901. All ahead full! Zero bubble!
Copy !req
902. Sir, don't you want to fire back?
Torpedoes are ready, sir.
Copy !req
903. No, we're in too close.
Our weapons won't have time to arm.
Copy !req
904. All ahead flank!
Chief of the watch to manoeuvring.
Copy !req
905. Give me max speed now!
Copy !req
906. Maximum speed! Aye, sir!
Copy !req
907. Sonar, Conn, let me know
when our range to that Akula
Copy !req
908. is open to 1,000 yards!
Copy !req
909. - Conn, Sonar, aye, sir!
- Damn it! Let's just shoot this fucker!
Copy !req
910. What's 1,000 yards for?
Copy !req
911. 'Cause it takes 1,000 yards
for the torpedoes to arm!
Copy !req
912. Jesus! Who'd you fuck
to get on this ship?
Copy !req
913. Conn, Sonar; torpedoes 150 yards
and closing fast, sir!
Copy !req
914. Bearing 070, 074!
Copy !req
915. Launch port countermeasures!
Copy !req
916. - Countermeasures away, sir!
- Rig ship for impact.
Copy !req
917. Rig ship for impact! Aye, sir!
Copy !req
918. They missed! They missed!
They passed astern!
Copy !req
919. They were too close to arm, sir.
Copy !req
920. Conn, Sonar, range to the Akula,
950 yards and opening fast!
Copy !req
921. Go to manual on the arming
mechanisms, tubes two and four.
Copy !req
922. Snapshot, two and four.
Copy !req
923. Snapshot, two and four.
Tubes fired electrically, sir.
Copy !req
924. Sonar, Conn, give me exact ranging
and speed on our weapons.
Copy !req
925. Range, 300 yards at 50 knots, sir!
Copy !req
926. 200 yards, 50 knots!
Copy !req
927. 100 yards, 55 knots!
Copy !req
928. 75 yards!
Weapons ready for arming, sir!
Copy !req
929. - Steady course 231.
- Aye, sir. 231.
Copy !req
930. Arm torpedoes two and four...
Copy !req
931. - Now!
- Torpedoes armed, sir!
Copy !req
932. We're locked on the Akula!
Copy !req
933. You got him, sir! You got him!
Copy !req
934. Conn, Sonar, incoming torpedo!
They got it off before they got hit, sir!
Copy !req
935. Right full rudder!
Launch starboard countermeasures!
Copy !req
936. - Countermeasures away, sir!
- Dive! Make your depth 1,200 feet!
Copy !req
937. Point it down now!
Take her deep! Take her deep!
Copy !req
938. Full dive on those planes!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Copy !req
939. Hang on, everybody!
Copy !req
940. - Is everybody okay?
- Yeah!
Copy !req
941. Open aft main drain suction!
Copy !req
942. Start the drain pump! Go, go, go!
Copy !req
943. All stations,
make damage report to Control.
Copy !req
944. Control, this is Bilge Bay!
We've got out-of-control flooding!
Copy !req
945. Request damage control!
Copy !req
946. Mr Mahoney, get a
damage control party down there!
Copy !req
947. Aye, sir!
Copy !req
948. Forward damage control party,
get Lieutenant Hellerman!
Copy !req
949. Flooding in the bilge bay!
Get him down there now!
Copy !req
950. Conn, Manoeuvring,
we've lost propulsion, sir!
Copy !req
951. Chief of the Boat, how we doin'?
Copy !req
952. Sir, we are going down!
I need propulsion!
Copy !req
953. Forward ballast tanks
are damaged, sir!
Copy !req
954. Forward air pressure: zero!
Copy !req
955. Manoeuvring, Conn,
restore propulsion as soon as possible.
Copy !req
956. Conn, Manoeuvring, restoring
propulsion as soon as possible!
Copy !req
957. Aye, sir!
Copy !req
958. Control, Bilge Bay, flooding is slowed!
Copy !req
959. I think we got it under control, sir!
Copy !req
960. Passing 1,500 feet.
At 1,850 it's all over.
Copy !req
961. Passing 1,600 feet.
Copy !req
962. Barnes, get over here!
Help me with this loose valve!
Copy !req
963. Passing 1,650 feet.
Copy !req
964. - What the fuck is going on?
- Take it easy.
Copy !req
965. Conn, Bilge Bay,
flooding has recommenced!
Copy !req
966. It looks like three men are trapped!
Copy !req
967. Bilge Bay, Conn, try and get those men
out of there and seal that bay.
Copy !req
968. Sir, if we don't seal the bilge bay now,
we'll lose the ship!
Copy !req
969. Bilge Bay, Conn,
can you get the men out?
Copy !req
970. Sir, there's no fuckin' way!
If I go down there, I'll never get out!
Copy !req
971. Barnes, come on! You've got to come!
Copy !req
972. Move, move! Barnes, come on,
come on! You can do it! Move it!
Copy !req
973. Bilge Bay, Conn, seal that bay.
Copy !req
974. Barnes, let's go! Come on!
I've got to close the hatch!
Copy !req
975. What the fuck are we doing here?
Copy !req
976. Bilge Bay, Conn,
I say again, seal that bay.
Copy !req
977. Sir, there are men down there,
and they're gonna drown!
Copy !req
978. Lieutenant Hellerman,
you have your orders!
Copy !req
979. Now seal the goddamn bay
before we all go down!
Copy !req
980. Barnes! Please get the fuck out!
Copy !req
981. Barnes!
Copy !req
982. Come on! Barnes!
Copy !req
983. Conn, Bilge Bay,
Copy !req
984. seawater hatch is sealed, sir!
Copy !req
985. Very well.
Copy !req
986. Passing 1,800 feet.
Copy !req
987. Approaching hull crush depth, sir.
Copy !req
988. 1,825.
Copy !req
989. Conn, Manoeuvring,
turbine power restored!
Copy !req
990. Main seawater cross valve repaired!
Copy !req
991. - And rising.
- Propulsion limit! Ahead full, sir!
Copy !req
992. - Take us up to periscope depth.
- Aye-aye, sir.
Copy !req
993. Give me five.
Copy !req
994. All right, We're livin'.
We're livin', gentlemen.
Copy !req
995. - Step aside, Tommy.
- I'm sorry, sir. The X.O. ordered...
Copy !req
996. FUCK the X.O.!
Copy !req
997. This ship has been hit,
and I'm going in to see my captain.
Copy !req
998. Now stand aside.
Copy !req
999. Stand aside!
Copy !req
1000. Captain?
Copy !req
1001. - Sir.
- How bad is it, Mr Dougherty?
Copy !req
1002. It's bad, sir.
Copy !req
1003. I've just been looking
at Hunter's file here.
Copy !req
1004. The closest to combat he's been
is a policy seminar.
Copy !req
1005. Give me an order, sir.
Copy !req
1006. As quietly as you can, you get
to Mr Zimmer and Mr Westergaurd.
Copy !req
1007. How about Linkletter?
Copy !req
1008. You won't be able to talk
to the TSO. He's at the Conn.
Copy !req
1009. But you can get to Weps.
We got to have Weps. He's the key.
Copy !req
1010. You get me those men, a small security
force, then come back and get me.
Copy !req
1011. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
1012. Don't get overzealous and
try to recruit the whole ship.
Copy !req
1013. - We'll lead from the top down.
- Aye, sir. Right away.
Copy !req
1014. The radio's 50%.
Copy !req
1015. Can I talk to you in the passageway?
Copy !req
1016. Right now, Pete. Come on.
Copy !req
1017. What's goin' on?
Copy !req
1018. We're not gonna let this go down
with the X.O. at the helm.
Copy !req
1019. - We're not?
- No, we're not.
Copy !req
1020. I've been with the captain for years
and this asshole Hunter shows up,
Copy !req
1021. and I'm supposed to follow him
'cause he says so?
Copy !req
1022. You're not supposed to,
you've been ordered to.
Copy !req
1023. That's what this is about,
proper orders.
Copy !req
1024. Proper orders? He has proper orders.
He won't act on them.
Copy !req
1025. He's in command now!
Copy !req
1026. If they order him to launch, we'll
launch, and we'll blow 'em all to hell.
Copy !req
1027. But I'd rather go down myself
than get this one wrong.
Copy !req
1028. Look, our procedures are clear.
Copy !req
1029. In the absence of a contravening order,
in a situation like this,
Copy !req
1030. - we follow the orders in hand.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
1031. You know now many checks we do to
make sure a launch order is authentic?
Copy !req
1032. The X.O. agreed with those orders.
Copy !req
1033. Now he just wants to throw them away?
They don't count?
Copy !req
1034. - He's lost his nerve.
- Bullshit! I Know this guy, Bobby!
Copy !req
1035. Weps, we've been ordered to launch.
Copy !req
1036. Now why in the world would we do that
Copy !req
1037. if they weren't prepared
to launch at us?
Copy !req
1038. We don't know that for sure.
That's the whole point.
Copy !req
1039. That's why he wants time
to confirm the message.
Copy !req
1040. That's the whole fucking point
is we don't have time!
Copy !req
1041. Radchenko is fueling his birds.
Now why do you think he's doing that?
Copy !req
1042. Why? You don't put on a condom
unless you gonna fuck!
Copy !req
1043. Go back to your station.
Go back to your station and stay there.
Copy !req
1044. Come on, man.
Copy !req
1045. Peter, think about your family, man.
Copy !req
1046. I am. I am!
Copy !req

Copy !req
1048. Nothing without you.
You're senior officer department head.
Copy !req
1049. The TSO's with Hunter.
Copy !req
1050. And you have the keys

Copy !req
1051. Now we want to recruit
a few more men,
Copy !req
1052. and then
we're gonna open that arsenal.
Copy !req
1053. I just talked to the captain in his room.
He specifically asked for you.
Copy !req
1054. He says we cannot go without you.
Copy !req
1055. I don't believe this.
Copy !req
1056. This is a mutiny, Peter.
Copy !req
1057. There's only two sides to a mutiny.
Copy !req
1058. Now, your captain
is asking for your help.
Copy !req
1059. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
1060. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
1061. All right.
Copy !req
1062. Conn, Weapons, Russian missiles
will have launch capability
Copy !req
1063. in 24 minutes.
Copy !req
1064. You're doing the right thing.
Copy !req
1065. Electrical power has been restored.
Copy !req
1066. All stations,
prepare to reinitiate the system.
Copy !req
1067. Radio, Conn, Mr Zimmer,

Copy !req
1068. Conn, Radio,

Copy !req
1069. Lieutenant Zimmer isn't here.
Copy !req
1070. - Where is he?

Copy !req
1078. At ease, sailor.
Copy !req
1079. Sir.
Copy !req
1080. Thank you, Mr Ince.
Copy !req
1081. - Mr Westergaurd.
- Sir.
Copy !req
1082. - Mr Zimmer.
- Ready, sir.
Copy !req
1083. Let's get on with it.
Copy !req
1084. Stand guard.
Copy !req
1085. All you people, return to your stations!
Copy !req
1086. - Mr Rivetti.
- Sir?
Copy !req
1087. - Follow me, please.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1088. Is there a problem, sir?
Copy !req
1089. These are the keys
to the entire submarine.
Copy !req
1090. Conn, Weapons, Russian missiles
will have launch capability
Copy !req
1091. in 21 minutes.
Copy !req
1092. Who's in charge here?
Copy !req
1093. Shit!
Copy !req
1094. Me, sir. Oh, fuck.
Copy !req
1095. - How long is it gonna take?
- I don't know, sir.
Copy !req
1096. - Do you know what's going on here?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1097. No, I don't think you do.
Let me explain it to you.
Copy !req
1098. If we launch and we're wrong,
Copy !req
1099. what's left of Russia
is gonna launch at us.
Copy !req
1100. There will be a nuclear holocaust
beyond imagination.
Copy !req
1101. So it's all about knowing, Mr Vossler.
Copy !req
1102. We have to know
whether or not our order to launch
Copy !req
1103. has been recalled or not.
Copy !req
1104. The only way we're gonna know is if
you fix that radio. You understand me?
Copy !req
1105. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1106. You ever watch Star Trek?
Copy !req
1107. - Yeah, I seen Star Trek.
- Star Trek. You know, Star Trek.
Copy !req
1108. The USS Enterprise. All right.
Copy !req
1109. You remember when the Klingons
were gonna blow up the Enterprise?
Copy !req
1110. And Captain Kirk calls down to Scotty,
"Scotty, I gotta have more power."
Copy !req
1111. He needs more, more warp speed.
Yeah.
Copy !req
1112. Warp speed. Exactly.
Copy !req
1113. Well, I'm Captain Kirk.
You're Scotty. I need more power.
Copy !req
1114. If you do not get this radio up,
a billion people are gonna die.
Copy !req
1115. It's up to you. I know that's a shitty
deal, but you got it. Can you handle it?
Copy !req
1116. Scotty?
Copy !req
1117. Aye, Captain.
Copy !req
1118. You got anything?
Copy !req
1119. - No, Vossler.
- Then get on it.
Copy !req
1120. - I have the Conn.
- X.O. has the Conn.
Copy !req
1121. Chief of the Boat,
make your depth 75 feet.
Copy !req
1122. Continue up to periscope depth.
Copy !req
1123. Belay that order!
Copy !req
1124. Any officers or chiefs feel you've been
unjustly caught up in this thing,
Copy !req
1125. you stand with me now.
Copy !req
1126. Sir, propulsion has been restored.
Copy !req
1127. All flooding has been contained.

Copy !req
1133. - Aye, aye, sir.

that the captain is in command.
Copy !req
1135. - I have the Conn.

1146. for strategic missile launch.
Copy !req
1147. We all know what this means.
Copy !req
1148. It's not something one would wish for;
Copy !req

1168. Look, it's not a mutiny.
I did everything by the book.

1169. It's not about the book.
Copy !req
1170. If the Russians are gonna launch
and we do nothing,
Copy !req
1171. who's gonna stop 'em?
Copy !req
1172. Half of me is glad
the captain came back.
Copy !req
1173. He could be right, you know.
Copy !req
1174. No orders are valid, Cob,
if they're wrong.
Copy !req
1175. - We don't know if they're wrong.

if we're wrong, goddamn it!
Copy !req
1218. Weps, if we fire now, we'll be firing
while we're blind and crippled.
Copy !req
1219. You understand me?
Copy !req
1220. - Where the fuck are you?
- Do not remove that firing trigger!
Copy !req
1221. Do not open the safe, Weps!

1344. Come on, Vossler. Come on.
Copy !req
1345. - Yes. Yes.
- Come on. Come on. You got it.
Copy !req
1346. Some of the things they do defy belief.
Copy !req
1347. Their training programme
is simplicity itself.
Copy !req
1348. You just stick a cattle prod up their ass,
Copy !req
1349. and you can get a horse to deal cards.
Copy !req
1350. Simple matter of voltage.
Copy !req
1351. You're gonna get it. Come on.
Copy !req
1352. I almost had it. You saw it.

1362. - Get that EAM.
- Aye-aye, sir.
Copy !req
1363. God help you if you're wrong.
Copy !req
1364. If I'm wrong, then we're at war.
Copy !req
1365. God help us all.
Copy !req
1366. Sir, we have a properly formatted
emergency action message
Copy !req
1367. from the National Command Authority,

Bravo, Zulu, Delta, Tango."
Copy !req
1370. - Message is authentic, Captain.
- I concur, sir.
Copy !req
1371. I concur, sir.
Copy !req
1372. Message is authentic.
Copy !req
1373. 1MC.
Copy !req
1374. Crew of the Alabama,
this is the captain.
Copy !req
1375. Set condition 2SQ.
Copy !req
1376. Terminate launch, all missiles.
Copy !req
1377. Au right! Au right!
Copy !req
1378. Mr Hunter has the Conn.
Copy !req
1379. In the early hours of this morning,
Russian army forces moved in
Copy !req
1380. and met surprisingly little resistance.
Copy !req
1381. There were some sporadic battles
Copy !req
1382. but, apparently the spectre
of fighting their countrymen
Copy !req
1383. proved too much for these rebel troops
and they surrendered quickly.
Copy !req
1384. So a crisis
that seemed to be escalating
Copy !req
1385. beyond the point of no return
Copy !req
1386. was ultimately resolved with fewer
than a hundred soldiers dead.
Copy !req
1387. And the nuclear base
captured by Radchenko
Copy !req
1388. is back in government hands.
Copy !req
1389. Reporting live from
the French aircraft carrier Foch
Copy !req
1390. in the Mediterranean Sea,
Copy !req
1391. this is Richard Valeriani for CNN.
Copy !req
1392. All right, stand there,
Lieutenant Commander Hunter.
Copy !req
1393. This won't take long.
Copy !req
1394. This panel has convened in order
to investigate the events
Copy !req
1395. subsequent to the setting
of condition 1SQ
Copy !req
1396. for strategic missile launch
Copy !req
1397. on board the USS Alabama
on 1 November.
Copy !req
1398. Now, based on the testimony
from personnel on board the Alabama,
Copy !req
1399. and, in no small measure, to that
of the senior officer, Captain Ramsey,
Copy !req
1400. I am prepared to make
my recommendations to SUBPAC.
Copy !req
1401. - Without my testimony, sir?
- You have a problem with that?
Copy !req
1402. - I might, sir.
- I have known Captain Ramsey
Copy !req
1403. for almost 30 years.
Copy !req
1404. We served together
on more than a few occasions.
Copy !req
1405. If he is lying, this will be
the first I've heard of it.
Copy !req
1406. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1407. My primary concern here
is the breakdown in the system.
Copy !req
1408. In this instance, the system failed
Copy !req
1409. because the two senior officers did not
work to resolve their differences
Copy !req
1410. while preserving
the chain of command.
Copy !req
1411. Now you may have been
proven right, Mr Hunter,
Copy !req
1412. but insofar as the letter of the law
is concerned,
Copy !req
1413. you were both right.
Copy !req
1414. And you were also both wrong.
Copy !req
1415. This is the dilemma that will
occupy this panel, this Navy,
Copy !req
1416. and this country's armed forces
as a whole,
Copy !req
1417. long after you leave this room.
Copy !req
1418. Off the record, you've both
created one hell of a mess.
Copy !req
1419. A mutiny aboard a United States
nuclear submarine,
Copy !req
1420. violation of nuclear launch protocol.
Copy !req
1421. For the record,
it is the conclusion of this panel
Copy !req
1422. that your actions aboard the Alabama
Copy !req
1423. were consistent with
the best traditions of the Navy,
Copy !req
1424. and in the interests
of the United States.
Copy !req
1425. As such, the recommendations
of this panel will be to accept
Copy !req
1426. in a manner reflective of his long
and dedicated service to his country,
Copy !req
1427. Captain Ramsey's request
for early retirement from active duty.
Copy !req
1428. And based, in no small part,
on Captain Ramsey's recommendation
Copy !req
1429. that Lieutenant Commander Hunter
be given his next command
Copy !req
1430. at the earliest possible convenience.
Copy !req
1431. Unless, of course, you wish
to challenge these recommendations.
Copy !req
1432. No, sir.
Copy !req
1433. - Captain Ramsey?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
1434. Dismissed.
Copy !req
1435. Captain?
Copy !req
1436. Just wanted to say thank you.
Copy !req
1437. You were right, and I was wrong.
Copy !req
1438. About the horses, the Lipizzaners.
They are from Spain, not Portugal.
Copy !req
1439. Yes, sir.
