Thanks.

[ Snoring ]

Virgil, turn on your side.

[ Pinging ]

[ Static,

Pinging Continues ]

All right,

you're all set, big guy.

Hey, I told you

to wipe that grin offyour face.

Good night,

little buddy.

[ Gasps ]

[ Whispers ]

Bud. Bud. Bud !

Get up.

What ?

Cat.

- Cat !

- Hey !

[ Mumbling ]

God-- Leave me alone.

[ Gasps ]

Bud.

Wait. It's okay.

Sweet Christ Almighty.

I think it likes you.

It's trying to communicate.

[One Night]

That's Bud.

[ Laughing ]

It's wonderful.

It's me.

- No, no, no.

- Shh. It's okay.

[One Night]

Whatisit ?

[One Night]

Isitalive ?

[Bud]

Lindsey, no.

Sea water.

[One Night]

Oh, man.

Come on. Come on !

- Hurry !

- Where the hell's it goin' ?

Huh ?

Hurry!I thinkit'sheaded

for ''B''module.

Linds, you see it ?

[ Gasps ]

[ Shuddering, Grunting ]

- Aah !

Aaah !

[ Shivering ]

[ Whimpering,

[ Static Stops ]

[ Pinging Continues ]

[Lindsey]So, raiseyourhandifyou

think that wasa Russian watertentacle.

Lieutenant ?

No ? Well.

A breakthrough.

Hey, Ace, you done

impressin' yourself?

No way that thing

couldjust be sea water.

They must have learned to control water.

I mean at a molecular level.

They can plasticize it, polymerize it,

do whatever theywant to do with it.

They can put it

under intelligent control.

Maybe theirwhole technology's

based on that.

- What ?

- Controlling water.

-[Hippy] Wasit thesame thing

thatyousawthelast time ?

- No.

You know, I don't think that

that thing you saw was one ofthem.

- What areyou talking about ?

- I mean, I don't think it was an N.T.I.

I think it was theirversion

ofan R.O.V., like Big Geek.

-[Cat] Hippy, youmean

they wasjustcheckin'us out ?

- Yeah.

- Howcome ?

-[Lindsey] Curious, Isuppose.

We'reprobably the firstpeople

thathave everseen one.

Who'sbeen down this far?

- [ Grunting ]

-[Cat] Surehope they don't

judge therestofus byhim.

[ Grunts ]

Went straight

for the warhead,

and they think it's cute.

You need to get

some sleep.

[ Panting ]

We have no way...

ofwarning the surface.

You know what that means ?

It means whatever happens...

is up to us.

Us.

[ Grunting ]

[One Night]Soyou think

they're from down there originally,

orfrom, youknow--

[ Laughs ]

I don't know.

I think--

I think they're from ''you know.''

Someplace withsimilarconditions--

cold, intensepressure.

Oh, man.

Happy as hogs in a waller

down there, probably.

That's right.

You okay, Hip ?

- They're using Big Geek

to take the bomb to the N.T.I.s.

- What ?

- We set it up to go right to 'em.

- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Take this.

We're going to phase three.

- What's the timer set for ?

- Threehours.

- Shut up. Don't talk.

We can't get to minimum safe distance

in three hours.

- We can't go to phase three.

What about these people ?

- Shut up.

What's the matterwith you ?

Everybodyjust stay calm.

is under control.

[ Grunts ]

Anybody touches that door, kill 'em.

Schoenick, your lieutenant's about to

make a real bad career move.

I just figured I was dead back there

when I saw that angel comin' for me.

Uh-- Yeah, okay.

Tell us about it later.

Come on.

He's got it tied off

with somethin'.

- Ready ?

- [ Grunts ]

- [ Exhales ]

- We're not gonna be able to budge it.

Now what ?

This is the only door to sub bay.

- What areyou doing ?

- I'm gonna swim to hatch six.

What ?

I'm gonna get inside

and open the door from the other side.

Bud, this water is freezing.

Then I guess

you'd betterwish me luck.

- Wish us luck.

-[Bud] Youcomin'along ?

Looks that way.

- All right, Cat.

- Come on.

- In case I don't die.

-[One Night] This is insane.

Have to go to the moon pool.

It's the onlyway.

I can't.

I can't make it, partner.

Okay. Okay, Cat.

[ Rapid Exhaling, Inhaling ]

Sh*t !

[Pulley Chain Clanking Slowly]

[ Shivering ]

- What is he doing ?

- He can't make it to the door.

He's gonna try

and take him out himself.
