- Hurry! - Where the hell's it goin'?
Huh?
Hurry! I think it's headed for "B" module,
Linds, you see it?
- Aah! - Aah!
Aaah!
So, raise your hand if you think that was a Russian water tentacle,
Lieutenant?
No? Well.
A breakthrough.
Hey, Ace, you done impressin' yourself?
No way that thing could just be sea water.
They must have learned to control water. I mean at a molecular level.
They can plasticize it, polymerize it, do whatever they want to do with it.
They can put it under intelligent control.
Maybe their whole technology's based on that.
- What? - Controlling water.
- Was it the same thing that you saw the last time? - No,
You know, I don't think that that thing you saw was one of them.
- What are you talking about? - I mean, I don't think it was an N.T.I.
I think it was their version of an R.O.V., like Big Geek.
- Hippy, you mean they was just checkin'us out? - Yeah,
- How come? - Curious, I suppose,
We're probably the first people that have ever seen one, Who's been down this far?
- Sure hope they don't judge the rest of us by him,
Went straight for the warhead,
and they think it's cute.
You need to get some sleep.
We have no way...
of warning the surface.
You know what that means?
It means whatever happens...
is up to us.
Us.
Sniff somethin'?
Did you, rat boy?
Hey, hey, hey!
Freeze! Don't move!
That's right.
You okay, Hip?
- They're using Big Geek to take the bomb to the N.T.I.s. - What?
- We set it up to go right to 'em. - Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Take this. We're going to phase three.
What? We don't have orders for that!
I programmed Big Geek...
to go down to the bottom of the trench and shoot some video,
- Now they've got the warhead tied to it, - Coffey?
- Linds... - Coffey... No. Come on.
Just think about what you're doing just one minute.
Just think about what you're... Aaah!
Get back!
This is something I've wanted to do since we first met.
Easy. Easy. Take it easy.
Into the kitchen. Let's go.
- Move, partner! - Get your damn hands off of me!
- Get in there! - I know the way.
Your boss is fixin' to pull the pin on 50 kilotons,
and we're all gonna be ringside!
He's having a full-on meltdown!
- What's the timer set for? - Three hours,
- Shut up. Don't talk. - Three hours?
We can't get to minimum safe distance in three hours.
- We can't go to phase three. What about these people? - Shut up.
What's the matter with you?
Everybody just stay calm.
The situation is under control.
Anybody touches that door, kill 'em.
Schoenick, your lieutenant's about to make a real bad career move.
- The guy's crazier than a shithouse rat! - Schoenick!
- They're trying to make contact! - Can't you see he's lost it?
- Shut up! - The shock wave'll kill us.
- Quiet! - It'll crush this rig like a beer can.
- What are you talking about? - We gotta stop him.
Shut up!
This is not our mission, We can't detonate without orders,
Schoenick, please!
He's about to declare war on an alien species just when they're trying to make contact!
Please!
- I think I'm reaching him. - Yeah.
I'll be damned.
- Jammer! - Is everybody okay?
Oh, man!
- Don't move, jar face! - I'm the least of your problems.
- Take it easy, Hippy. - I'm all right.
How you feelin', big guy?
I'm okay, Bud, I...
I just figured I was dead back there when I saw that angel comin' for me.
Uh... Yeah, okay.
Tell us about it later.
Come on.
He's got it tied off with somethin'.
Ready?
We're not gonna be able to budge it.
Now what? This is the only door to sub bay.
- What are you doing? - I'm gonna swim to hatch six.
What?
I'm gonna get inside and open the door from the other side.
Bud, this water is freezing.
Then I guess you'd better wish me luck.
- Wish us luck. - You comin'along?
Looks that way,
- All right, Cat. - Come on.
- In case I don't die. - This is insane,
Come on, Bud. Let's go, partner. I ain't got all day.
Come on, yank on it.
Gonna have to...
Have to go to the moon pool. It's the only way.
I can't. I can't make it, partner.
I'm real sorry.
Okay. Okay, Cat.
You head on back, all right?
Shit!
- What is he doing? - He can't make it to the door.
He's gonna try and take him out himself.
No. Oh, God, he couldn't be that dumb. That guy's a trained killer.
No!
Coffey. Coffey, listen...
Hey!
Aaaah!
Hey!
Bud! You all right?
Get him, Cat!
He's dogged it, Bud.
We gotta get this off of here.
Come on, help me. Pull the gripper! Pull it!
Cat, get the door,
Ohh! Shit.
Come on!
- Shoot! Shoot! - Are you all right?
The safety's on! Safety's on!
Give me that!
Come on, let's go! Help me out!
- Give me a hand! Move it! - One Night, what about Cab 1?
Ready to launch.
Go! You're better in these than I am!
You got air? Come on, come on.
You got air, You got air,
Shit.
Bud, get out of the way!
Shit!
Get in! Hurry up!
I'm comin', baby. Keep your panty hose on.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Do you see Big Geek? - Yeah. Right out in front.
- Oh, my God! - Get after him!
- Okay, okay! Get on the arm. - Ease up. To the left.
- A little more. - You missed. Try it again.
- Stand steady. Stand steady. - Okay.
- Grab it. - Yeah. Got it!
- Pretty slick, Slick. - Hold it really steady.
- Just hold it still. - I am. I am.
Shit! We lost Geek!
Where is he? Do you see him?
I'll take a look.
He's comin' up fast. Step on it.
Shit!
- Go to the right. Swing to the right. - Shit.
Keep movin', baby,
Come here.
That's right.
That son of a bitch,
- Ohhh! - Hard left, baby. Left, left, left!
- Jesus Christ, lady. - If you can do any better, then you're welcome up here.
Son of a bitch.
- Is he right on us? - Yeah, he is right on your ass.
- Okay. Okay. - Where you goin'?
Hang on.
Aaah!
Deep Core, this is Cab 1, Do you read?
Deep Core, Deep Core, this is Cab 1. Over.
I'm not getting any answer.
And we're flooding like a son of a bitch.
Yeah? You noticed?
You know, you did okay back there, Virgil. I was fairly impressed.
Yeah, well, not good enough. We still gotta catch Big Geek.
Yeah? Well, not in this thing,
Deep Core, Deep Core, this is Cab 1. Over.
Try it again.
Deep Core, this is Cab 1. We need assistance.
Over... Aaah!
You all right?
Yeah.
- Well, that's that. - Yeah. Wonderful.
There's light comin' from somewhere. It's off to the right.
Yeah, That's the rig,
It's a good 60, 70 yards, I'd say.
Well, they'll come after us.
Yeah, but it's gonna take 'em a while to get here.
We gotta get this flooding stopped.
- Can you see where it's coming in? - Yeah. Hold the lamp for me.
There's a busted fitting behind this panel.
Problem is, I don't think I can get to it.
You got any tools?
I don't know. I'll have to look around.
Yeah, well, I looked already.
Goddamn it, all I need is a goddamn crescent wrench.
Come on.
Aaaah!
Shit!
Son of a bitch!
Okay, calm down, Bud.
- Calm down. - Okay.
Okay.
- We gotta get you out of here. - How?
- I don't know how. - All right, we've only got one suit.
- We've gotta come up with s... - Oh, my God. I'm freezing.
Come here. Come here a sec.
Listen, you're smart. Think of somethin'. Can't you think of somethin'?
Okay, why don't you swim back to the rig and bring back another suit.
That'd take me about seven, eight minutes to swim,
get the gear, come back.
I wouldn't make it. By the time I got back you'd be...
- Okay. - Linds.
Let's look around. Just look a... Oh, my God.
Is that working?
Shit.
- All right. All right, all right. - Bud, I'm getting cold.
- Here. You put this on. - No, no! What are you...
Don't argue with me. Just put it on.
- Look, this is not an option, so just forget about it. - Lindsey, shut up!
Put this thing on.
- Just be logical. - Fuck logic!
Please listen! Just listen to me for one second.
You've got the suit on, and you're a much better swimmer than I am. Right?
- Yeah, maybe... - Right? Yes. So I've got a plan.
- What's the plan? - I drown, and you tow me back to the rig.
No. No!
Yes. This water is only a couple of degrees above freezing.
I'd go into deep hypothermia.
My blood'll go like ice water. Right?
My body systems will slow down. They won't stop.
- Linds... - You tow me back and I can...
I can be revived after maybe 10 or 15 minutes.
- Linds, you put this on. - No! It's the only way.
You just put this on. You know I'm right.
Please. It's the only way.
You've got all the... stuff... on the rig to do this.
Put this on. Bud, please!
This is insane.
- Oh, my God. I know. - You okay?
It's the only way.
Here, hold this.
- Just hold on. - Okay.
You can do this, you know.
You can do this.
- Oh, God, Linds, I... - I know.
You can tell me later.
Oh, God!
This is maybe not such a good idea!
Oh, my God!
Bud! Ohh!
I can't... Help, Bud! I'm scared!
No!
I got him! I got him!
- Where? - Oh, my God. It's Lindsey.
- Deep Core, do you read? Over, - We got you, Bud.
- We're here, - Go to the infirmary.
Get the cart oxygen, defib kit,
adrenaline and a 10cc syringe, some heating blankets.
- You got all that? - Got it. Over.
- Meet me at the moon pool! Make it fast! - Now! Let's go!
- Hippy, get the hot packs. - Got 'em.
Here he comes!
- Get her up. - Watch her head.
- I got it. I got it. - Watch her feet.
Watch her head comin' down. Watch it. Okay.
Clear that. Is she clear? Is she clear?
Get the defib ready. Hurry up, Cat.
Okay, okay. Got it.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Three-one thousand, four-one thousand,
- five-one thousand... - Breathe!
One-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand...
No, no, no. You gotta have bare skin or it won't work.
Three-one thousand, four-one thousand... Breathe.
Here.
Is that right? Is this it?
- I got it, Bud. - Well, do it!
Breathe!
- Come on, zap her. - Clear!
Come on, baby. Aw, Christ!
- Nothing. - Breathe!
- I check out 300. - All right, do it again, One Night.
- Zap her again. - It's going, it's going. It's charging.
Charging. Charging. Charging.
- Now. - Clear!
- Anything? - No pulse,
- Come on, baby. - It's charging. One more time.
Zap her again. Come on!
- Come on! - Clear!
God! No pulse.
Bud, it's flat. Goddamn, it's flat.
One, two, three, four, five, one thousand.
One-one thousand, two-one thousand... Breathe.
One, two, three, four... Breathe!
Breathe. Come on, baby.
One-one thousand, two-one thousand,
three-one thousand, four-one thousand...
Come on, baby. One-one thousand, two-one thousand,
three-one thousand, four-one thousand, five-one thou...
Come on, baby, breathe. Come on.
- Two-one thousand, three-one thousand... - Bud. Bud.
Bud? Bud.
It's all over, man.
It's all over.
I'm sorry.
No pulse.
No! No! She has a strong heart!
She wants to live!
Come on, Linds! Come on, baby!
Zap her again. Do it!
- Charging. - Do it!
- Come on, baby. - Clear.
Clear!
Get back.
Come on, breathe, baby.
Goddamn it, breathe.
Goddamn it, you bitch! You never backed away from anything in your life!
Now fight! Fight! Fight!
Right now! Do it!
Fight, goddamn it!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight!
Linds. That's it, Lindsey.
That's it, Linds. You can do it.
That's it, Linds. Come on back. You can do it, baby.
Lindsey.
Okay.
Get her some air. Get her some air.
- Easy. Breathe easy. - Look at that.
All right. All right.
You did it, ace! Huh?
Yeah! Yeah!
You did it, babe.
Easy. Breathe easy.
Watch her... Make sure... Make sure her heart's doin' okay.
Big boys don't cry. Remember?
Hi, lady.
Hi, tough guy.
- I guess it worked, didn't it? - Yeah, of course it did.
You're never wrong, are you?
How you feelin'? Huh?
I've felt better.
What did you do to me?
Next time it's your turn. Okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, you got that right.
Okay, these are so your eyes can focus in the breathing fluid.
How's that feel? There it is.
If you can't see, you can't disarm the bomb. Right?
Okay, with this much weight you're gonna fall like a brick.
We still got about an hour, so we should get there in plenty of time.
When you get down there, all you gotta do is cut one wire,
drop the weights and come on home.
- Hand me that wrench, will ya? - Maybe I oughta check and see...
Uh, yeah, that's a good place,
This is loose. I'll fix that up.
Bud, you don't have to do this.
Somebody's gotta do it.
It doesn't have to be you.
Who, then?
So, I... I can hear you,
but I can't talk, right?
The fluid prevents the larynx from making sound... Excuse me.
- It'll feel a little strange. - Yeah, no shit.
I gotta warn you all... I'm a pretty lousy typist.
The moment of truth.
- Come on. Let's go. - Let's go.
Okay. Easy.
Okay.
I need it in the front a little bit. Thank you.
Got it.
- Set. - Set,
- Clamp, - Set.
Okay, let's rock and roll.
Crack it.
Headset. Headset, please.
- Okay? - Relax now, Bud. Just relax.
- Bud. Watch me. - Relax now, Bud,
- Relax, It's okay, - Okay? Watch me. Watch me.
Don't hold your breath, Take it in,
Just let yourself take it in. Take it in.
- That's it, - Oh, man,
Don't hold your breath, Take it in, There you go, Don't hold your breath,
Take it in, That's it, There you go,
Bud... This is not normal!
This is normal. It'll pass in a second. It's perfectly normal.
It's perfectly normal.
We all breathed liquid for nine months, Bud. Your body will remember.
That's it. That's it.
- Perfectly normal, - Christ, he's breathin'it,
Give me that.
Can you hear me?
- There he goes, He's got it, - Yes. Yes.
- Okay, Bud. - That's it.
Try your key pad.
Right,
I already have.
Okay, let's go.
- Okay. - That's okay. I got it.
I got it,
- Okay, Hippy, you got that? - Hold on, Jammer,
- Okay, Bud. - Easy, Easy,
Watch out, Watch the back,
Careful.
I rigged in Little Geek's chip the same as Big Geek.
It should take you straight there.
All you have to do is hang on.
- What's his depth? - Thirty-two hundred feet.
Your depth is 3,200 feet.
You're doing fine.
You'd better watch out for crane wreckage. You should be almost to it.
Forty-eight hundred feet. It's official.
Yeah.
Bud, according to Monk here, you just set a record for the deepest suit dive.
Bet you didn't think you'd be doing this when you got up this morning, huh?
One mile down. Still grinnin'.
Eighty-five hundred feet.
Eighty-five hundred feet, Bud.
Everything okay?
Ask him about pressure effects...
tremors, vision problems, euphoria.
Ensign Monk wants to know how you feel.
It's starting. It hits the nervous system first.
Keep talking. Let him hear your voice.
Okay, Bud, your depth is 8,900 feet. You're doing fine.
No, Lindsey.
Talk to him.
Bud.
There are some...
some things I need to say.
It's hard for me, you know.
It's not easy being a cast-iron bitch.
Takes discipline and years of training.
A lot of people don't appreciate that.
Jesus, I'm sorry I can't tell you these things to your face.
I have to wait till you're alone in the dark,
freezing, and there's 10,000 feet of water between us.
Comin' up on the big ten thou.
Twelve thousand feet. Jesus, I don't believe he's doin' this!
Hippy! Shut up! What's wrong with you?
Bud, how are you doing?
Bud?
He's losing it. Talk to him.
- Keep him with us. - Coming up on 16,000,
B-Bud, it's the pressure. All right?
Listen to my voice. You have to try. Concentrate.
All right? Just listen to my voice, Please,
Seventeen thousand feet.
Christ Almighty, this is insane.
Bud... I'm not getting anything.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa... Oh, come on. No. No. - What? What?
Little Geek just folded.
Jesus.
He can still make it.
Bud,
I know how alone you feel.
Alone in all that cold blackness.
But I'm there in the dark with you,
Oh, Bud, you're not alone,
I'm with you.
I'll always be with you, Bud. I promise that.
How you doin', partner?
You still with us? Come back.
You talk to us, Buddy boy.
- Come on. - Bud.
Bud? Now, come on. You hangin' in there?
You have to talk to me, Bud. Please.
I need to know if you're okay.
You see... You see a light?
What kind of light, Bud?
He's hallucinating badly.
- He made it, - Oh, my God.
Oh, man.
Okay, Bud, we'll go step by step.
Remove the detonator housing...
by unscrewing it counterclockwise.
All right, Bud, you have to cut the ground wire,
not the lead wire.
It's the blue wire with the white stripe.
Not... I repeat...
not the black wire with the yellow stripe,
- Yes! - Quiet! Quiet. Save your air.
Bud, give me a reading off your liquid oxygen gauge.
What?
- It took him 30 minutes just to get down there! - Bud, do you hear me?
You drop your weights and start back now, Bud! That gauge could be wrong!
Do you hear me? Just drop your weights and start back now.
Your gauge could be wrong! Your gauge could be wrong!
You drop your weights and start back now!
No, you won't stay there! Do you hear me? You drop your weights,
You can breathe shallow! Do you hear me?
Bud, please! Listen to me, please! Goddamn it!
You dragged me back from the bottomless pit! You can't leave me here alone now!
Please. Oh, God, Virgil, please.
Please.
I love you.
Howdy.
Uh, how you guys doin'?
Deep Core, do you read? This is Benthic Explorer. Over,
Do you hear, Deep Core?
Deep Core, do you read? Do you read me, Deep Core?
Deep Core, do you read? This is Benthic Explorer. Over,
Hell, yes, we read. Good of you to join us.
- Copy, Deep Core. Hey, I've got 'em! - How's that storm up there?
It's strange. It just blew itself out all of a sudden.
Hell, son, you better get a line down to us.
We're in moderately poor shape down here, We lost seven people, includin'Bud,
And we're about out of O-2, so whatever you're gonna do, you better do it fast,
You boys make up your mind how to get us out of here yet?
They're talking about flying in a D.S.R.V. From Norfolk.
You'll come into Guantanamo on a C-133,
Okay, I understand it, but how long is it gonna take...
Hey. Hey. Hey, it's Bud!
That's impossible.
- Do you read me, Deep Core? Do you hear? - No, it's not.
- Yes! - W-Wait. We got a message from Bud.
- Bud? - What's it say?
Here. Here.
It says, " Virgil Brigman back on the air. "
Yes!
"Have some new friends down here. "
What the hell's goin' on?
- One Night, get to sonar. - Good God Almighty.
Fellas, I'm gettin' some awful big readings here.
- Something's coming up the wall. - What is it?
Whatever it is, it's major!
Something's definitely going on down there.
Active is pinging back something really big. It's huge.
- And it's coming up right underneath us. - Where?
Where? It's everywhere. There! Starboard bow.
This is the Benthic Explorer,
There! Look! Look!
Help, Cat.
We should be dead. We didn't decompress.
They must've done something to us.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think you could say that.
Ha! Hoo!
Hi, Brigman.
Hi, Mrs. Brigman.
