Raise the Titanic Page #6

to send a man over here, captain Prevlov.

What's that all about?

Well They're offering give us a hand

in case the weather gets bad.

Permission granted, Captain Prevlov

come aboard.

Admiral, you sure we want to do this?

Why not?

We might listen what he got to say.

Welcome to the Titanic, Captain.

Our time is precious, so I'll

come straight to the point.

We're offering you the safety of our ship.

My helicopter can carry ten men at a time.

Very nice of you. What happens to

the Titanic if we accept your offer?

An empty ship on an open seas.

- What is the Russian word for piracy?

No, it's not question of piracy. It is the

international law of maraine salvage.

Hell with it.

We know about the byzanium.

Stolen from a mine on Russian territory.

You must trust me, gentlemen, what I tell you that we're

determined to take back what is morally and legaly ours.

Mikhail Kurkov is a torpido ship.

If her captain gets no signal from me

eight minutes from now...

he will sink this ship, that

we're standing on.

What if do to get byzanium, then what?

It is worthless if you do not...

- A Sicilian defense system?

No, its not worthless at all.

If this byzanium will produce

a superior weapon...

then Russia must have it to guaranty

the security of our people.

We arm ourselves only...

to protect us.

The clock is keep ticking, gentlemen.

All right, Prevlov, I make it fast.

We knew you're comming aboard here today

we knew your plan would be exactly.

Dirk.

This is Pitt. Bring on a surprise package.

Well, I will prove it to you.

Like I said,

You do not have much choice, Captain.

I see.

Gentlemen...

We have him.

No water.

- Sealed tight.

Watch out.

And here is Arthur Brewster,

sank with the Titanic.

All right, lets get those boxes out of there

and get them open up.

Just like the others, debris.

Doesn't makes sense.

- A dead man and seven boxes of crap.

Arthur Brewster's papers.

Listen, we know that byzanium existed.

We know that Brewster had it.

It must be some place.

We worked sweat come up with nothing.

Three men dead whole The Sicilian Project

in the junk box.

How the hell that we blow this thing?

There must be some kind of answer,

but I could not find what it is.

I am just as disappointed as you're, Gene.

I hate to quit on anything,

but sometimes you have no choice.

If it make you feel any better...

I will tell you something I didn't want

to admit even to myself.

If we had found the byzanium,

I am not sure we could hung on to it.

I don't think we could tagged it,

for defensive only and made it stick.

We got the president's assuare for that.

- Yes, right, but...

Presidents do not stay on office forever

and even if they did circumstances change.

What is that mean?

- I means that...

if the government falls in the

Middle East or somewhere...

they start bombing Pakistan

or some where else...

it effects all of us.

What this got to do with

The Sicilian Project?

Nothing.

Maybe...

I am just saying that somewhere in the world

in some think tank right now...

they're figureing out a way to build a

byzaniumbom bomb.

Why, if you knew that...

in God's name why did you go

along with this whole operation?

Because I believed in what

we were trying to do.

And if it did not work defensively...

if somebody was going to

make a byzanium bomb...

I wanted it to be us.

He thinks just like you do. I don't

understand that kind of thinking.

You are both couple of cynics.

You think its some kind of lousy game.

If I thought the way Sandecker does I wouldn't

started the demn project on a first place.

I'm glad we didn't find the stuff.

Ok?

But I am not got to let you wriggle

off the hooks so easy.

Not now.

Take a look at this.

Its a postcard. I saw it.

That's right. A british postcard.

We all saw it.

Brewster must bought it, stuck it

in his suitcase never mailed it.

Take a look at the fine print on the back.

Come on, read it.

Typical country church and grave yard in

county of Hampshire near the village Southby.

Southby?

Twenty miles from Southampton.

We were wrong.

We thought it was a man,

but it is a place.

Thank God for Southby.

And this is the one.

Jake Hobart.

I will get the shawls.

Excuse me.

Jackpot.

Would you like us to dig him up?

- I do not know.

You will have to ask Doctor Seagram

that question.

It is your decision, Gene.

Whether you like it or not.

Wouldn't you want us to dig him up?

No.

What's so funny?

I knew a girl once.

- I bet you did.

Years later I came back to her,

she says, what has happened to you?

I thought you got to change the world.

What do you said?

- I said they have me out numbered.

Is that my lesson for the day?

No more lessons.

No more lectures.

You mean the school is over?

Yes, you have just graduated, professor.
