I KNOW, SIR, BUT THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE.

MR. GROVER, WHERE THE HELL HAS YOUR TORPEDO GONE?

ON A MISSION.

MORNING.

MORNING, MR. PRESIDENT.

Secret Serviceman: ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THIS HELICOPTER?

NOT ON THE SCHEDULE.

WELL, COME ON. SOMEBODY TALK TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, I'M ON IT.

IMPRESSIVE PICKUP, SIR.

I THOUGHT YOU'D APPRECIATE IT, LIEUTENANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE PRESIDENT DID.

THE PRESIDENT?

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT, COMMANDER?

LIEUTENANT?

SIR?

LIEUTENANT AUSTIN'S

BEEN ASSIGNED TO THIS INVESTIGATION

WITH YOU.

WHA... I'M SURE LIEUTENANT AUSTIN

IS AN EXCELLENT LAWYER, COMMANDER...

THANK YOU, SIR.

BUT LIEUTENANT PIKE AND I

HAVE A WORKING RELATIONSHIP, SIR.

WE'RE A TEAM.

NOT ANYMORE.

ADMIRAL BROVO MADE HER HIS AIDE.

HE REPLACED YOU?

AFTER THE SENATE GRILLED ME

ON THE SEAHAWK INCIDENT

THE ADMIRAL THOUGHT

IT WOULD BE IN J.A.G.'S BEST INTEREST IF I...

"GOT OUT OF DODGE" FOR A WHILE.

MEANING WASHINGTON, OF COURSE.

KATE SENDS HERE REGRETS.

YOU KNOW KATE?

WELL ENOUGH FOR HER TO WARN ME, SIR.

ABOUT WHAT?

THAT'S PRIVILEGED INFORMATION, LIEUTENANT.

LIEUTENANT AUSTIN

IS A COMPUTER WEAPONS SPECIALIST.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LAWYER.

I'M MULTI-TALENTED, SIR.

I'M SURE YOU ARE, LIEUTENANT.

NO, YOU'RE NOT, SIR

BUT IN TIME, I'LL PROVE IT TO YOU.

MODESTY IS SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED IN AN OFFICER.

I'M NOT IMMODEST, SIR, JUST STRAIGHTFORWARD.

COMES FROM BEING RAISED IN TEXAS.

LIEUTENANT, PLEASE GET ON WITH YOUR BRIEFING.

WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENS AT MIDNIGHT? YOU TURN INTO A PUMPKIN?

NO, SIR.

A COUPLE OF THOUSAND PEOPLE DIE.

Skipper: HE SENT THE SHADOW AFTER A CRUISE SHIP.

HE SAYS HE'LL SINK IT

IF WE DON'T DELIVER HIM AND $40 MILLION IN GOLD

TO THESE COORDINATES BY MIDNIGHT.

THAT'S INSIDE CUBAN TERRITORIAL WATERS, SKIPPER.

HE'S PROBABLY GOT AN ACCOMPLICE WITH A BOAT

WHICH IS PRETTY DAMNED SMART.

WE CAN'T FOLLOW HIM INTO CUBA.

SIR?

LET'S STUFF HIM IN A TUBE

AND THREATEN TO LAUNCH HIM UNLESS HE RECALLS THE SHADOW?

SOMEHOW, I DON'T THINK THAT'LL DO ANY GOOD.

ANYWAY...

IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS NOW.

J.A.G.? THEY'RE SENDING US LAWYERS?

YEAH, TO EVALUATE AND NEGOTIATE.

IF THAT TORPEDO SINKS A CRUISE SHIP

THE ONLY THING THEY'LL BE EVALUATING

WILL BE WHY I LET IT HAPPEN.

WEAPONS ASSESSMENT ORDERED THAT TEST.

THEY STUCK US WITH THAT CIVILIAN TECHNO-PIRATE.

IT'S MY BOAT, X.O.

IT'S HAPPENING ON MY WATCH

AND THAT MAKES IT MY RESPONSIBILITY.

Harm: IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO DIFFICULT

TO FIND THE CRUISE SHIP AND DESTROY THE TORPEDO.

THERE ARE 17 CRUISE SHIPS

IN THE CARIBBEAN AT THE MOMENT.

AND HE SAYS ANY ATTEMPT TO INTERFERE

WITH HIM OR THE SHADOW WILL CAUSE IT

TO IMMEDIATELY SINK ONE OF THEM.

AND YOU BELIEVE HIM?

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TO FIND OUT.

WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?

HIS NAME IS DIRK GROVER.

HE DESIGNED THE SHADOW'S SOFTWARE PROGRAM.

THAT'S WHY HE WAS CONDUCTING THE TEST.

IT'S A BRILLIANT WEAPONS SYSTEM.

USING SHADOW TORPEDOES

AN ATTACK SUB COULD FIRE AT A NUMBER OF TARGETS

LEAVE THE AREA, THEN SINK THEM.

SOUNDS LIKE A BRILLIANT WAY TO HOLD UP FORT KNOX.

WHAT IF I THINK HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH?

THAT'S THE PRESIDENT'S DECISION.

IF I GET MY HANDS

ON HIS COMPUTER

I'LL CRACK HIS CODE AND DISARM THE SHADOW.

AND WHAT IF YOU CAN'T?

I'VE DECIPHERED COMPUTER CODES

IN AS LITTLE AS 30 SECONDS, SIR.

AND AS LONG AS..?

THREE DAYS

BUT THAT WAS IN CHINESE.

THERE SHE IS.

HOOK 'EM UP.

ON A CALM DAY, THIS WOULD BE TOUGH.

IN THESE SEAS, IT'LL BE DAMNED NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.

IF I DON'T THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT

I'LL PULL YOU BACK UP.

I'LL MAKE IT, SIR.

SHE'S GONNA GET KILLED.

BRING HER UP.

NO! I CAN DO IT.

MAN OVERBOARD. PORT SIDE.

GET A SEAL IN THE WATER.

DAMN IT!

LAWYERS.

YOU HAVE SUICIDE COMPLEX, LIEUTENANT?

YOU'RE THE ONE

WHO JUMPED FROM 50 FEET, SIR.

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO

WITH YOU IN THE WATER?

PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD, SIR.

I OUGHT TO DENY IT.

WHAT FOOL STUNT WERE YOU TWO TRYING TO PULL OUT THERE?
