No, we're still locked out.

Come on.

Hey, we're moving.

We have control again.

No, we're still dead here.

Are you sure, sir, because we're turning.

It's him.

It's him, it's him.

He's onboard. Geiger's still onboard.

Guys, maybe these people can help.

(Juliano) Hand me those.

Right there.

He's taking us right into an oil tanker.

What?

You're right.

She's anchored 16 miles out...

...and we are doing 17.8 knots.

Well, how long till they move?

From starting their engines, 30 minutes.

They won't get out of our way in time.

So, what... what... what does that mean?

(sighs)

Oh, man!

Uh, he's turning us another quarter.

Agh! Damn it.

Can we turn the ship without the rudder?

(Merced) The bow thrusters would do it.

We can't get there now.

You guys flooded the access.

We also messed up his programme, sir.

No, you almost sunk us.

Oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Let's take a wrench

and dump it into the engine...

...and bust the transmission like a car...

...cos I've done that.

With all due respect, this is not your car.

This is a cruise liner.

She's right. It's a propeller.

We got to stop the propeller.

You could wedge something into it...

...like a... a steel cable.

This is not my suggestion, obviously.

Great idea. I'll go under the ship.

No, you won't.

No, you won't. That's not what I meant.

That's a stupid idea.

No, it's a great idea.

No.

It's suicide.

These blades are 12 feet across.

They'll suck you in and kill you.

Hey. Hey, Dino, I got one for you.

OK, who played the German captain...

...in The Enemy Below?

Curt Jurgens.

Down the next stairwell on the left...

...straight to the bowels of the ship.

Bowels. That doesn't sound very good.

How much time left?

Not very much. We better hurry.

Mayday, Mayday.

This is Seabourn Legend...

...bearing 80 degrees east-northeast.

Engine and steering control nonfunctional.

I repeat. Nonfunctional.

Where are we going?

Eindhoven Lion.

Eindhoven Lion, come in.

This is Seabourn Legend.

Eindhoven Lion, come in.

Eindhoven Lion, this is Seabourn Legend.

Come in, Eindhoven Lion.

This is the only way out.

This all the diving gear?

Yeah.

OK, here it goes.

(beeping)

Huh?

You think that ship's gonna rescue us?

What else could it be?

Alex, maybe this isn't such a hot idea.

Maybe you should just

leave the propeller alone, huh?

We have to stop the ship.

There's not much time left.

Are you sure this is gonna hold?

Yeah. We use those lines all over the ship.

He's not going all over the ship.

He's going under the ship, all right?

Annie, Annie. It's OK. It'll hold.

Hold on. Let me lock it.

All right.

Hey.

(oxygen hisses)

Annie.

What?

4296...

...589J.

I don't know what that is. What is that?

It's my badge number.

It's 4296589J.

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Here's the guideline.

Feed it into the propeller,

and it will pull the heavy cable in.

Not too much slack.

OK, OK, OK. I've got him.

He's getting too close.

OK, OK, he's close enough.

Stop it now.

Come on, baby. Let it go.

Let it go.

It's taking the cable.

It's working. It's working!

Well, then let's get him up then, huh?

- Come on.

- Pull him back up.

It's stuck.

He's snagged.

The lines are crossed.

We have to bring him up.

Come on. Now. Do something!

(grunting)

It's sucking him in.

We gotta get him out of there!

(ship creaking)

Come on, baby.

17.5.

They're doing it.

They're slowing us down.

(beeping)

Oh, no, you don't.

(grunting)

We gotta get him up.

(Juliano) Come on, come on. Keep pulling.

Pull.

(Juliano) Pull him up.

Keep pulling.

What the hell's happening?

It's stuck again!

Get him up! Get him up!

It's not gonna hold.

Oh! Won't go any faster.

Won't go any faster!

(Juliano) Watch out!

Get back! Aagh!

- I think I broke my arm.

- Alex! Alex!

Alex.

Come on. Hold on.

Come on. Hold on.

We've got him now.

(Annie) Are you all right?

What happened?

I don't know, something just...

Let him go.

You slowed her down...

...but you're not gonna stop her.

Annie, I don't think your boyfriend

appreciates the logistics involved...

...in ramming

the most automated ship in the world...

...into a loaded fuel tanker

with no set anchor path.

Let her go.

Maybe you can spend

the rest of your days in a mental hospital...

...sticking leeches to your ass.

Oh, so you met my nurses.

They clean the copper out of my blood.

Doctors gave me a couple of years to live!

Those bloodsuckers

might give me a few more.

You walk away now...

...and there's a chance I might not kill you.

Listen to you.

Let him go.

Now!

Go ahead.

Uh-uh.

Now!

Go ahead.

Oh.

Oh!

Mr Juliano...

...we'll be getting off.

I hope you don't mind...

...but I'll be taking Annie with me...

...as a little extra insurance.

You know the one-armed freestyle,

don't you?

(Geiger)

Hey! Come on, or you'll join them!

This way.

(gasping)

Hold on, hold on.

(alarm buzzing)

I can't believe they can't see us.

How can they miss us?

I can't get her on the radio!

She's not responding.

She's closing in at 14 knots...

...bearing 166.4.

She's heading straight into us.

Get the anchors up now!

(Man) Yes, sir!

(alarm)

Which way did they go?

The marina. He's going to jump ship.

You all right?

I'm OK.

Hurry up!

(bell ringing)

Get moving!

Get off of me! Get off of me!

Very physical, aren't we?

OK...

...that way.

Down the stairs.

Hold it!

We're going for a little ride.

Come on.

Can't let you go now.

You're my little hostage.

Come on!

Don't touch me!

Get down. Get down!

All right.

That's it.

So...

...aw.

How do you like your vacation so far?

Sit down!

Ow.

You better hang on.

Annie!

Alex? Alex!

Need a hand?

Hold on. I got you.

I don't think

you want to be on that ship now, Annie.

Aagh!

You know your way around the ship?

Yeah.

You're OK?

What happened?

Alex, can you hear me?

I don't like this at all.

Oh, my God.

Jeez, we're coming in too fast!

How could this happen on our honeymoon?

Wait a minute.

Oh, my God. Why don't we stop?

Why don't we stop?

Everyone, move away from the windows!

Away from the windows!

(man) Brace yourself for the crash.

(alarm blaring)

How long before we have power?

Seven or eight minutes, sir.

In eight minutes

we'll be blown out of the water!

Speed the engines full power.

(man) Prepare for hard forward turn.

Alex,

if you can hear me, use the ship's intercom.

Left, Alex, go to the left.

(Juliano) Alex, can you hear me?

If you can hear me, use the ship's intercom.

I can hear you.

We're running out of time.

All right, look.

Which way to the bow thrusters?

You flooded it. There's no way to get there.

I can get there.

Just talk me through it.

OK. The bow thrusters are two large

wheels connected by a small shaft.

You can find them at the end of the shaft

below the bilge pump room.

The bilge pump room.

Do you copy?

Yeah, copy that.

Look, stay with us.

You talk us through it,

I'll follow your voice.

(Juliano) OK, you're in section BT-1.
