When I want your opinion,|Miss Page, I'll give it to you.
I am not one of your men that|you can just dismiss, Mr. Brice!
I don't believe|we're alone down here,
and I know some of you think|the same way.
Unless we find|a safe harbor soon,
we're all going to end up like|your friend Mr. Coors.
The loss of Lieutenant Coors|is unfortunate.
Attention all hands...|it's daylight now.
I expect to surface... at 1900,
recharge the batteries,
and proceed on base course|back to Connecticut.
...That is all.
You're 10 seconds away|from finding out
what the penalty is|for mutiny at sea,
'cause that's how long|it's gonna take me
to open the armory|and reload that sidearm.
Now, do either of you|care to say anything else
that might further agitate|this crew or me?
Mr. O'Dell?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
We just knock the nose around|a little bit,
we're back on base,|so make it 2-8-5.
Make it 2-8-5 true.
2-8-5 true, sir.
Heading home, boys.|Sound good?
...Yes, sir.|...Sounds good, sir.
Hey, you're oversteering.|Mind your rudder.
She's getting|some resistance, sir.
Chief of boat to control.|Chief of boat to control room.
All right, belay that.|Belay that.
I said belay that!
...Oh!|...Oh!
Rudder at midship, sir.
Um, some...|kind of hydraulic failure.
Oh, Christ.
Must have overshot|our heading by...
170 degrees.
Oh, good. A gun.|Yeah, I needed a gun.
I'll put that|with the prizes.
Okay, I got feathers, crosses,|and strip-show icons...
Rudder malfunction.
When we tried to shut down|the props, no dice.
Wouldn't respond.
We're on a runaway boat,|fellas.
Now, can any of you top that?
Well...|I had a strange thought.
Take a number.
Yeah, but this one's|real creep-show stuff.
What if, when we took on|that kraut ship...
...we didn't sink 'em?
What if... they sank us?
Oh, that's a good twist.
I don't get it.
Might explain how that|dead kraut talked to Stumbo.
I don't get it.
And the controls...|that they froze up.
No, they... they rusted up.
That's because we're at the...|the bottom of the ocean.
Flooded out.
Of course, I'm not sure what all|that pounding was about.
Those are rescue divers...|pounding on the hull.
Only it's too late.
Sh*t, I get it.
Hydrogen from the batteries...
Hydrogen from the batteries...
CO2, ozone|from the electrical shorts...
that's what we're breathing|right now.
Like those deep-sea divers|that don't get enough oxygen...
head starts playing tricks|on 'em.
We got mechanical problems,|that's all, okay?
We always got|mechanical problems.
Now, please...
will you pinch this sh*t off?
...Unless...|...Oh...
It happened|during the depth charging.
Remember that one?
Rolled right down our deck.
So exactly how far|from England are we?
Can I ask why you're asking?
No.
Right.
Uh, what's our heading?
0-9-5.
Right. Uh...
May I ask why you're asking?
Just in case the boat|can't make it back home...
for whatever reason.
What do you suggest|we do about it, chief?
Come on.|Enough of the guessing games.
...Pressure blinding the shafts.|...No, I don't think that's it.
Just lay it out for us, chief.
What about the I. M. O. Pumps?
I. M. O. Pumps check out.|I don't think it's that either.
The rudder has a dedicated line|from here to the stern.
If we tap into there|somewhere aft,
I think we should regain|our steering.
But where are you gonna tap in?
That's the thing.
The line goes right through|the battery room.
That's a little dicey, isn't it,|without venting first?
Just threading up|new hydraulics, no welding.
Well, where are we at, anyway?
13 percent down.
...13 percent hydrogen?|...Keep your voice down.
Look, I don't know any other|way to regain control...
F*** if I know.
All right, but you gotta|make sure you're sealed off,
'cause we don't want a repeat|of the "Hindenburg" here.
Let's keep this quiet.
As if it's a bloody|mechanical problem.
Fore door sealed.
After door sealed.
What's happened here, hmm?
What is this?
Go to the galley.|Get a cup of coffee.
Oh, no, I'm fine, sir.|Really.
You're falling asleep, champ.
...I'll watch your bubble.|...Yes, sir.
Lieutenant, a word?
Lieutenant, a word?
...Not now.|...No, Mr. Loomis.
That is a whale, right?
What else would it be?
Come on.
Let's get that rudder working.
Now, maybe this is|just a coincidence.
I know Lieutenant Coors|wasn't too sure
about the last star fix.
But it sure seems like|we're going
right back to where|we sunk that German ship.
Clear the compartment.
Everybody, give us 5 minutes.
Go!
All right.|We're almost all set.
Just repressurizing the line,
see if we can't put the brakes|on this little joyride.
I'll reset the bus.
Sh*t!
Hey, guys,|we lost power up here.
Shut that goddamn door
before I shut it|with your goddamn face!
What are you saying, O'Dell?
It's not a coincidence?
Somebody put us on this course?
I'm just asking a question.
Let me ask one.
Where were "you"|when the rudder went over?
Huh?
This course heads back|to England,
and I've noticed you've had|a hard-on for anything English.
So where were you, O'Dell?
Back of the boat... messing with|the rudder assembly?
Or did you get some motormac...
That is the craziest thing|I have ever heard!
Not as crazy|as what you're saying!
I'm tired|of this hoodoo horseshit!
It is "not"|what you think it is!
It is not even remotely|"f***ing" possible!
Okay?!
After room,|get the chief to pick up.
Hoag!
Maneuvering room, respond.
Anybody, contact control.
...Mr. Loomis, where's our crew?
It's warm.
Loomis...
I-I, um...
Go ahead.
I'm gonna change up my scrub.
Keep looking.|Gotta be somebody.
All right.|All right, chief.
...We found you.|...Don't...
Can you feel anything...
your legs, your toes,|anything at all?
...Don't...|...Come on.
try to stop me.
You're gonna pull through.
Especially...
...you.
Time to go.|Battery's still working.
What happened?
What happened?
Sparks... the hydrogen.
Everybody... everybody's...
Loomis...
Loomis?
...Sir! Sir!|...Get out of my way!
...Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.|...Get the f*** off me!
Loomis!
...Loom...
He's here.
Did he even have...
air?
Not a bloody foot.
Come on, Stumbo.|Keep trying.
We gotta release that air.|Come on. One more.
Come on, Stumbo.
It's like it's welded.
All I know is what Coors|told me.
And apparently...
Captain Winters wanted to shoot|the German survivors.
Mr. Brice and Mr. Loomis
and Mr.... Mr. Coors...|wanted to help.
Apparently Captain Winters|lost the argument.
Well, that's interesting.
But it's not what I heard...|from Mr. Brice.
Lieutenant?
Are you sure he came back here?
Looking for me?
I, uh...
Just... reporting, sir,|that the heating is down.
And, uh...|the bow's levers are stuck.
Stumbo's working on it|right now.
And that we show|90 pounds of compressed air
still left in the system,|and I... wasn't sure
