Surface, Deepsea Challenger.

I am at the north slope. Over.

That's cool.

Copy that.

Letloose

a little avalanche there.

(James)

Somebody has to go.

A robot cant tell you

how it feels.

I did not come all this way

to not see it

with my own eyes.

Oh yeah.

(James narrating) its important to physically be here,

to bear witness

to the things that

have never been seen.

To that little kid dreaming of going to the bottom of the ocean,

all things seemed possible.

I wonder what

other kids will do.

Where they'll go,

what they'll see.

What new worlds await them.

Oh, yeah.

I hope there's some kid

out there right now

who's already dreaming of exploring worlds we can 't even imagine.

Something feels wrong

with my thrusters.

Oh, see, look, I got

three dead horizontals.

All I can do is turn.

Turn in a circle.

Yeah, it just spins me around.

It's time to go back

to my own world.

Surface, Deepsea Challenger,

preparing to ascend. Over.

I hate this feeling,

when you've got to leave

and you know there's still

so much to see out there.

Weights are coming off.

Boosh.

There they go.

Surface, Deepsea Challenger.

Weights are off.

On ascent. Over.

(James narrating) Well, I'm just going to have to come back.

Exploration is never done.

(Dave) You know, when you look around and you see the faces

of the guys

who are just so proud

they've been part of this one man's dream and this adventure,

it's pretty unique.

You know, he's driven us hard,

but we care about him

immensely.

14, standby for recovery

on the starboard side.

[cheering]

Deepsea Challenger,

Deepsea Challenger, S. O.

(James) S. O. Deepsea Challenger. Go ahead.

Good to have you back, Jim.

Copy that.

Good to be back.

(John) Deepsea Challenger, were coming to get you.

You guys are my heroes

in real life.

(Dave) Tighten the taglines. Tighten the taglines.

Stop there.

Stop there.

(James) This sub is notjust a machine.

It's the hopes

and dreams and will

of all the members

of the team made manifest.

They are the soul

of the machine

and it is them.

Only the people that

are on this expedition

will ever understand what it took to accomplish the goal

and that will bond us together

for the rest of our lives.

[cheering]

We did it, man.

We did it.

We did it.

We all did it.

I was just

the unlucky son of a b*tch

that had to get crammed in here

to go take the ride.

Hey, baby.

Hi.

[man]

Steady, man.

That's a good kiss.

Did you see

my shot?

Did you find my shot piles down there?

I think every explorer

has the same thing inside.

They know that

the risk is worth it

because the y're widening

the pool of knowledge.

It's important for us as a species to not lose that drive,

whether it's in the oceans,

whether it's out in space,

going to Mars, going to the outer planets, to the icy moons.

Whatever it is, we need to keep that part of us alive.

Andrew Wight

Andrew Wight (14 November 1959 – 4 February 2012) was an Australian screenwriter and producer best known for his 2011 film Sanctum. He produced over 45 films including television documentaries, live television specials and 3D IMAX films. His credits include Ghosts of the Abyss, Aliens of the Deep and Expedition: Bismarck. Andrew Wight was honored with the Australian Geographic Society Spirit of Adventure Awards in 1989.Andrew grew up on the family farm "Tarqua" near Harrow in Western Victoria, and attended Hamilton College as a boarder between 1972 and 1977. It was here that he developed a taste for caving, exploring the nearby Byaduk Caves network of lava caves, under the direction of his Chemistry teacher, accompanied by a few other close school friends. In 1988, he eventually went on to attempt a record cave dive in Pannikin Plains Cave on the Nullarbor Plain, where flash floods turned the expedition into a life-or-death adventure. This was captured on film by his support team, and eventually published as Nullarbor Dreaming. This short film launched his career as an international film-maker and culminated in him becoming James Cameron's right-hand man on many 3D and other film projects. Sanctum was inspired by his Nullarbor experience. On 4 February 2012, he was killed in a helicopter crash at Jaspers Brush near the town of Berry in New South Wales, Australia. The crash also claimed the life of American filmmaker Mike deGruy. more…
