Raise the Titanic Page #2

Makes a date to pick him up after

they have mined the byzanium.

What happened?

- The ship picked them up on schadule.

The only problem was two days out of sailing

they spot a Russian cruiser tailing them.

But Brewster sticks to his plan

and the whaler drops him off...

on the coast of Scotland, north of Aberdeen

and they started by land.

Plan was to get the ore to Southampton

and send it home by commercial ship.

Did they make it?

They gave them pretty good shots, but the

Russian agents comming on their heels.

They fought the running gun battle all

the way from Aberdeen to Southampton.

Some how, Brewster made it

and he have the ore with him.

What happened to the other men?

- All dead, except one...

a man named Southby.

Matter of fact, the final report Brewster

sent home to the U.S army, was only...

thank God for Southby.

- Then what?

He put the ore in a vault and he saw

how it was loaded into the ship.

And on April 10th, 1912 the ship sailed.

Southampton to New York?

Right.

Brewster started home on the Titanic.

So that's where we are.

Spent five years on research

and development...

we come from bad to worse.

We need 200 ounces of minerals

we can't find...

and if we do find

where is it?

Its at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

But atleast we know where it is now, its now just some

place its in one spot, waiting for us to come and get.

You're talking about 12,500 feet under

water, more than two miles down.

We can't get divers down that deep.

That's right sir, we can't get the divers

down to the Titanic.

Which leaves us with only one choice.

- And what's that?

We don't go to the mountain,

the mountain comes to us.

Are you talking about raising the Titanic?

Yeah.

Can it be done?

The ship that big, down that deep?

Its never done before, no

question about that.

But we did raise that nuclear submarine

a couple of year ago.

That was not nearly as large

and was third on the depth.

Admiral, I am not saying

that's gotta be easy.

The chance of success is low and the cost

will be high. But it is not impossible.

If we get full cooperation from the navy.

What if you did have navy cooperation

and you get the funding?

We would have a chance.

Lots of problems and lots of risks.

We have submarsibles that can go down

that deep but we do not know for how long.

We've other in developing

they can go even deeper.

But they have not been tested

so every trip would be a gamble.

But if we're lucky...

We could make nuclear warfare obsolete.

What about a, Jim?

- It would be a stunner.

The biggest marine salvage operation

any body's heard of.

Dirk says he can handle it...

I am willing to go to the president

do my best to push him through.

Seems we are back to you, captain Pitt.

Well like Jim said...

it is the biggest job with the highest

stakes anybody ever dreamed of.

How can you turn it down?

Hey Dana!

Have any time for an old friend?

I don't believable this.

My God. Where did you from?

- I don't know.

Well as you can see, nothing

surprises me. I am...

perfectly calm and under control.

Come on, lets go have a cup of coffee.

- I can not, I'm late...

I've dropping somebody of.

He is not good enough for you.

You never thought anybody was good

enough for me, including for yourself.

I was right.

You look teriffic.

- Thank you.

So to you. I thought you had left

Washington so what do you do?

Fooling around. - Don't give me that.

You were gotta fix the world.

Yes, but it was five years ago.

I discovered that they had me out numbered.

Not you. I don't believe that.

- You can believe it.

Well I got to go.

It's good to see you.

Goodbye.

- Take care.

Funny, you don't look like a scientist.

How a scientist suppose to look like?

I don't know, but when I would see you

walking on the street, I think you...

a country club tennis player.

I never take you for a scientist.

Well That makes us even.

I wouldn't take you for a pirate.

Here he comes.

That did not take long.

It never takes long to say no.

Now it does not takes long to

say yes either. - Yeah. We'll see.

Good afternoon, Admiral.

We're in buisness.

Dirk...

Good to see you again. How are you doin?

- Good.

Don't try to hide behind that beard...

I know you any place.

- It just keeping me warm.

They warned me, you're the

boss of this operation.

As he told you what we after this time?

I don't know no idea. Silent sam.

That's allright, I like that,

I get us there.

I'll keep the coffee hot and you

two can handle the tricky stuff.

What makes you think there gone

be some tricky stuff? - It has to be.

Nobody hires you for your good looks.

Sorry. This is Dr Seagram.

Captain Joe Burke and Chief Walker.

Good to meet you.

What's operation here.

- Yes, we got some nice toys.

I was thinking, I may be able to speed things up by

feeding all navy navigational and meteorological data...

in my computer database.

- I know that sounds very interesting.

Good. You can reach me through out

Admiral Sandecker at the office.

Fine. Now If you'll excuse me, I have

got three days work to do before lunch.

Bye, Dirk. See you later, take it easy.

Let us first set some things right.

This is Captain Burke's operation...

He is an extremly competent navy officer

and I don't think he needs your help.

As for me, I took this job

on two conditions.

One, that I handle a salvage end of it my

way, and two, that you stay out of my way.

Will you remember that? - If you're trying

to make me so appear, it won't work.

This project is too important.

- Good, let's keep that in mind.

The royal mail ship Titanic.

Where is she now and how do we

get her up? That is our problem.

This was her course, that orange line.

A southwest track from Southampton

to her final radio position.

Latitude at 41 degrees 46 minutes north, longitude

50 degrees 15 minutes west.that's where she sank.

Did the two rescue ships

report conflicting positions?

That's right.

You can see more clearly,

here in this inlargement.

The Titanic thought she was here, Carpathia

had her here and Mount Temple here.

So this will be our starting point right,

in the middle of this triangle.

So one way, or another

we are in the nball park.

The trouble is sir, could winned

up being a demn big ball park.

We're talking about miles under water,

maybe more.

Everything at that depth, is a mystery.

That how could a wound up couple of miles

from where she disappeared.

Or ten.

- Let's hope not.

Dr. Silverstein group will be handling,

the location problems.

Our submarsables will work in concentric

circles around that point, as targeted.

Let me emphasize again the

importance of security.

Only those who need to know

have been briefed of this operation.

You will be operating under the direct control

of the CNO here, through Cinclant Fleet.

Any further questions? Admiral?

All right, thank you very much,

gentlemen, that's all.
