Penguins?

Yeah, penguins.

Put it in water and what have you got?

Something that's graceful and sleek

and elegant and strong, yeah?

And knows exactly what it's doing.

Put it on dry land

and what have you got?

Just a wee prick.

Just a wee waddling prick.

Penguin.

What are you gonna do with your share?

Bad luck to spend money

you don't have, boy.

Probably pay off some debts.

Give some to the wife and kids.

- I'm having a kid.

- Oh, yeah?

A little boy.

I'm gonna f***ing spoil him rotten.

No, two million's not much these days.

Two million more than

you've f***ing got.

What's going on?

Are you confused or something?

Hey, take it easy.

What the f*** was that for?

This is our side.

Hey, you, don't pee yourself.

You know what they're trying

to do, don't you?

They're trying to get

that boy to kill himself.

Increase their share.

Didn't I say? They're laughing at us.

Shut the f*** up.

Shut up.

We're right on top of the U-boat.

Blackie.

Zaytsev has found the leak.

Needs to drain fuel line

before he can repair.

Take four, five hours.

We're on top of the U-boat now.

We need to run diesel

to charge the batteries

before we go deep anyway.

Get the repairs done first,

though, okay?

Robinson, some of your boys,

they have funny idea about money.

They think Russians get too much.

Everyone gets an even split.

- Okay?

- Okay.

I bought this one fair and square.

- What's going on?

- It's mine.

It's my numbers.

My numbers have just come up.

I've won 30,000.

He's saying I bought it

with him, but I didn't.

I bought the other ones with him.

Yeah, and so we've gotta do something

about these f***ing guys.

Please, skipper, 'cause they're

already f***ing taking too much,

and now they're trying to muscle in

and f***ing rip us off!

They're trying to find ways

to take more and more and more...

You filthy lying bastard,

you weren't even there!

- What about it don't you understand?

- How do you know your numbers came up?

What?

Have you been on that radio?

Have you been on that f***ing radio?

We are under the Black Sea fleet.

We are under the f***ing...

That's the radio.

You killed the f***ing radio.

- Give me the ticket.

- How we gonna...

Give me that ticket.

You risk all our lives for 30,000.

30,000.

All you listen to me.

Every man gets an equal share.

Every man.

Anyone who doesn't like it

is endangering this vessel.

Any man endangering this vessel

goes out the f***ing tubes.

I told you. I f***ing told you.

You gotta tell them

the deal has changed, okay?

They're gonna tear us to shreds

for that money.

Robinson, listen, I...

Take your hand off me.

Look, just listen to me.

Careful with this.

I know, I know.

Hey.

Bol'she.

One, two, three. One down. Men'she.

Men'she left, bol'she right.

Zaytsev. Zaytsev, I'm sorry, mate.

I never meant to...

Tell him I'm sorry.

Tell him I'm sorry.

Bol'she right, men'she left. Stupid...

- You f***ing leave him alone.

- F*** off.

F*** you.

You Russians, you're pretty

f***ing tough with a kid, aren't you?

I expected better out of you, though.

- Don't be an idiot with that.

- What, with this?

Why? You f***ing brave against him.

Not so f***ing brave now.

- Give me the knife.

- No.

- Give me knife!

- No.

- Give me knife.

- F***ing have it.

Jesus. What did you do?

What have you done?

Zaytsev.

Zaytsev.

Hold on!

We're going down!

You're gonna be away

for three months again?

- Daddy lives on a boat.

- Daddy works on a boat.

- Daddy lives on a boat.

- Don't involve him like this.

I get to see Steve.

I get to spend time with him.

He's not just a f***ing photo

and someone I see on holidays.

What, that's why you left me, is it?

Nothing to do with his mansion

or his posh f***ing car.

Chrissy, wait.

Chrissy.

Chrissy.

How long was I out?

About 18 hours.

The Russians have gone berserk.

Had to threaten them with

a flare gun to hold them off.

Main drive shaft's f***ed,

shattered in the explosion.

Ballast tanks are ruptured.

And I reckon we've got about 36 hours

left in the batteries before we go dark.

Looks like the Russians

have got almost all the water

up the other end of the boat.

We've got the food.

They're gonna want that.

- And they're gonna want us gone.

- Quiet, you.

F***ing animal.

You've killed us all, Fraser.

You've killed the f***ing

lot of us. F***.

Are we gonna die down here?

No way.

Morozov.

I'm not armed.

What are you saying?

You speak English?

Why didn't you say anything before?

No one speak me, I don't speak them.

I'm saying...

I can make this boat work.

We anywhere from here to here.

Which means we are on

one of these two ridges

or we'd be crushed, right?

If we're on this ridge,

we must be right next to the U-boat.

Now, this submarine was based

on the U-boat design.

So we find the U-boat, we get in there

and we take the drive shaft.

Been in the water for

70 years. Useless now.

No. No, the Black Sea's

anoxic at depth.

No oxygen. No decay.

There's perfectly preserved

Roman galleons out there.

Look, when we get in there,

we'll get the drive shaft,

we'll machine it and then

we'll put it into the engine.

And we get this boat off the seabed.

This boat is dead.

We not sail it or get back.

We're not gonna sail it.

We're gonna take it to the surface

and then we're gonna

get into the life rafts.

What if we're on other ridge?

Then we're all f***ing dead.

Even if the boat is fixed,

we don't have enough men.

We haven't enough men to move boat.

We have enough.

But right now we need Baba.

Sonar's broken. We don't even know

which way she's lying.

Baba and Zaytsev back there.

When he killed Blackie,

they wanna kill him.

They wanna kill everyone.

They go crazy now.

We have to have Baba and Zaytsev.

And Fraser.

What he did is not forgotten.

But we have to have everyone

to get this boat up.

We live together or die together.

Now, one of you has to go talk to them.

It's worse now,

knowing there's a chance.

I mean, if we found out now

that it didn't work, I mean...

Peters, we can't have

those bodies lying about.

Take Fraser.

Put them out the tubes.

- Yes, boss.

- Do it decent?

I've got him.

Sorry, mate.

I think they're all coming.

- Ready?

- Ready.

Ready.

Go.

Go.

Stop.

- Go.

- Go.

- Stop.

- Stop.

Hey.

When we get up on top...

...I'm going to eat your liver.

Yeah.

We'll do this.

You're coming out there with me, right?

Well, you've dived before.

Yeah, but, you know, years ago.

I mean, f***ing hell, look at me.

Oh, Peters, I'll look after you.

I promise I'll look after you.

Hey, Morozov.

I've got some sense of the landscape,

but it's vague.

So, what's he saying?- -

Baba thinks there is something

rising up from the seabed

about 100 meters away,

maybe 40 meters wide.

The rise could be the U-boat,

putting us here.

100 meters from the U-boat.

That's close enough. We can reach that.

Or what he's seen is a small hill,
