30,000 Leagues Under The Sea

Approaching Mariana's Abyssal Plane.

Approaching Mariana's Abyssal Plane.

Depth, 734 feet.

Steady as she goes.

Sonar's up.

Unidentified contact aft.

Make a path!

Take the comm.

Aye, captain.

It just came out of nowhere, captain,

and it's not ours.

File?

Sorry, captain, there's no record. She's new.

Is she passive or active?

Passive, sir.

It's man-made, not organic.

So it's not a fish, huh?

She's moving like a fish.

Doppler's bouncing all over the place.

All right, run a track on her.

Take us down another hundred feet.

Hide this boat in the trench.

Aye aye, captain.

Make depth down 834 feet, rudder left.

Aye, 834 feet, rudder left.

There's some major volcanic activity in the area, Captain,

and I detect temperature surges.

The water temperature is rising, sir,

67 degrees, 68 degrees.

70 degrees and rising, sir.

Status report.

Pressure normal. Hull intact.

All clear, sir.

Steady as she goes.

We're out of range.

All right.

All stop.

All stop. I repeat, all stop.

Let's just sit silent for a while.

See what she does.

Engines down, power to low.

Engines are down, sir.

What's the time?

08:36, Captain.

Send the fingerprint to Admiral Hobson.

Tell him we found a bogey, please advise.

Yes sir.

Captain, sir, you should see this.

Is that a shipwreck?

I don't know, sir.

I checked the chart

for sunken ships and downed oil platforms, there's nothin'.

This area has never been mapped.

It's just blank.

Have you seen that?

What?

Sir, we got bogeys on our left flank, ten degrees.

Looked like a fish.

Down this deep? No.

It's mostly plankton down here, Bogel.

Captain!

Damage assessment!

Waiting, captain.

Nothing.

Captain, 120 tracking northeast, estimated coming 2-0.

It's clear in the engine room, pressure is normal.

Depth, 2300.

What's on the chart?

Multiple bogeys, closing in.

Full ahead.

All ahead, full.

Full ahead.

They're coming into starboard.

Right full rudder!

Right full rudder.

Flood torpedo tubes!

Tubes one and two are flooding.

What the hell is out there?

Pull the tanks! Pull the goddamn tanks!

The pressure is building!

We're losing her, captain!

The tank won't latch!

We're going down!

Keep trying the tanks, I'll fire the rescue buoy!

Hey, Sustin. Be careful.

You park that thing too close, it'll pop the bubble.

Didn't want you to get too comfortable.

Just wake me up in an hour.

Sorry, sir, your hour's up.

Time to come in and review the data.

All right.

Okay, get me inside.

A little too much salinity, everytime we knock it off

over .2 degrees.

Ah, what is the word, guys?

Twenty minutes in the bubble, still nothing.

to you.

How was it?

God, you're not even wet.

I know.

You shouldn't go back in there,

the bubble's unstable.

You're emiting too much carbon dioxide.

And you thought you left your mother back on land.

By the way, I wanna go next.

Uh-huh, we'll talk about it.

Lieutenant Arronax, this is the U.S.S

. Abraham Lincoln, come in.

Call for Arronax this is Captain Farragut calling

from the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.

An American nuclear submarine the U.S.S. Scotia

disappeared this morning just north of us.

I've been order to pick up you and your crew

and head straight to the Mariana Trench and find her.

I've informed Admiral Hobson that you were

the best recovery specialist in the entire Navy.

He wants you to use Deep One to bring her up,

congratulations.

Yes, sir.

The Abraham Lincoln will be directly above you.

We'll rendevous and dock link at 1100 Zulu,

I'll brief you further then.

Sir, I promise you if the Scotia's down there

we'll blow the water right out of her

and get everybody to the surface.

There's 160 men on board that boat,

for their sake I hope you're right.

We'll depart right away and dock with you

in two hours.

Ramirez, Sustin

change of plans.

I want all life boats on the rig.

Yes, sir.

Start having the men sleep in six hour shifts.

I want those bunks clear by time the survivors arrive.

Sir, sir.

what's the procedure if there are no survivors, sir?

You're dismissed.

Docking orders received.

Approaching U.S.S. Lincoln 500 feet and closing.

Approaching docking hatch.

Moving five degrees starboard.

Initiate docking sequence.

Captain, the Aquanaut Three has just docked.

Arronax.

Captain, permission to board, sir.

Permission granted.

Aye.

Sustin, I want you to start packing up the Aquanaut,

get everything that you can fit.

And Ramirez, fit those casings to steel external pods.

Got it, sir.

Any word from the Scotia?

So, how far down can your bubble go?

30,000 feet simulated.

On field?

15 give or take.

Your oxygenator is the key in saving those men.

It's not ready yet, sir.

It's just a six by six tank.

Your orders are to attach the oxygenator

to the Scotia, convert the water and save the crew.

Captain, of course, but it's best to send

another ship.

Arronax, we're the only boat that's going out there.

There's an experimental Trident Four loaded on that class.

SLBM is only limited to the Ohio class, sir.

Not this one, that's why we're keeping it quiet.

How many warheads are on the Scotia?

I've been authorized to tell you six.

Understood.

Oh, and there's one more thing.

Admiral Hobson has decided to put

his own team leader into place.

I'm sorry.

So, I'll just focus on the human cargo

and let Hobson's man focus on the metal.

Who is he?

She, it's Lieutenant Commander Conciel Wallins.

Conceil?

I didn't think she was a field operator, sir.

She won't even get wet without a wet suit.

She's the best person that we have

from the Admiral's desk.

She knows your Aquanaut inside and out.

Michael.

She's willing to put things aside if you are.

Aye, Captain.

So, when is the Lieutenant Commander boarding?

She's already waiting for you in the briefing room.

Time?

8:23.

He's late.

Call Captain Farragut and tell him

we need a replacement, now.

Well, Lieutenant Arronax is getting briefed

by Captain Farragut.

It's a mistake.

Pardon?

We'll have to watch Arronax closely.
