Last Resort

Back away!

We shouldn't even be here! Without us,

they have to surrender, and we all go home.

You really think you can break that kind of devotion?

Well, she's got faith.

She's in love. Those things are curable.

Hopper, stay with me!

Gil Langston, Captain. Thank you for the pickup.

- How's your man? - Needs a hospital.

We gotta leave right now!

Ohh!

Gil!

I need a place to keep my friend until I can get him home.

Your captain reneged on our deal.

One of you must pay for his failure.

I will let you choose who.

Don't do this! We had a deal!

Okay, him. Take him.

No! No, no, no, no!

- Red, I'm sorry! - Josh! Cortez!

There's one more!

No, there is not. You were late.

- He killed Red? - What are you gonna do, Sam?

We can't keep asking more of them.

The one thing we have out here

is our loyalty to each other. That's it!

New contact bearing 0-9-7.

Range-- 4,000 yards.

Battle stations.

Lieutenant Shepard, you have the conn.

Torpedo in the water bearing 0-2-7.

Torpedo evasion. Deploy countermeasures.

- Time to impact? - Torpedo five seconds to impact.

Prepare for impact.

Impact in three, two...

Explosion close aboard-- Port side!

Flooding...

in the torpedo room.

Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!

Firing point procedures, tubes one and two.

Prepare to fire.

We have a firing malfunction, ma'am.

Left full rudder steady, 3-2-9.

- It's jammed. - Conn, XO cannot secure flooding.

Torpedo room report.

30 seconds, maybe.

Recommend emergency blow.

The recommendation is surface to repair.

We're not going anywhere.

Maintain order depth. Secure the flooding.

Get ready to fight.

Are you sure you wanna do that?

In combat, a ship on the surface is a dead ship, sir.

Conn, torpedo room flooding has stopped,

lined up to de-water with drain pump.

Flooding in torpedo room is secure.

Drill concluded.

Keeping this boat moving was a gutsy call, Lieutenant,

but the right one. Well done.

But our crew...

is another story.

What the hell's he got us drilling for, anyway?

Firing against our own damn people.

Our own people just tried to kill us,

you stupid hillbilly son of a--

Hey, hey--

Hey, cool it, Wallace! All right!

I'm sick of you, Jonesy! One more, and you're gonna

have to throw with me, son.

Aye, COB.

You may not have faith in your captain,

but you damn well will have faith in me.

You will execute your duties for the chief of boat.

- Aye, COB. - Aye, COB.

Emergency action message, sir.

DC's giving us a firing order?

It's not a firing order, sir.

Read it, Lieutenant.

"The Department of the Navy article 32 has been scheduled

in regards to criminal charges against Captain Marcus Chaplin

and Executive Officer Samuel Kendal,

relating to acts of treason and terrorism

against the United States."

Well, that's not possible. I've--

Okay, look, like I've told the last four people,

all of my payments are current.

There's--

Wait a second.

...and Sam Kendal, Executive Officer

of the USS Colorado

have been officially indicted today

by the Department of the Navy.

It's been just five days since the Colorado

fired one of its 18 trident missiles,

detonating it 200 miles off the coast

of our nation's capital, where tensions remain high.

White House lawyers say the legal move

paves the way for Chaplin and Kendal

to be stripped of their rights as American citizens,

and even allows for the two men in charge

of the USS...

It's seaman Redman, sir.

Don't go there, Josh.

You had no choice.

You don't have to worry about me.

- I want you to set up interviews with-- - Already done, sir.

Sitting down with Brannan and Cortez today.

I need to talk to the Captain.

- You're way out of line here, Anders. - I need to go home, sir.

I have family issues I need to attend to.

I'm supposed to be on the downhill run

of a 3-year enlistment, and now all of this?

I gotta go home, sir.

This is hard on all of us,

but the XO is correct.

If you need to speak to me,

you will do so through the proper chain of command.

- Lieutenant, escort the chief out. - Yes, sir.

I didn't sign up for this.

None of us did. And I'm not the only one, sir.

He is right about that, sir.

He's not the only one.

We got a serious morale problem.

Everybody just wants to go home.

So maybe we let them.

Maybe we give them the choice.

You're looking for volunteers?

Every member of this crew has already volunteered twice--

Once when they joined the Navy,

and again by signing up for submariner duty.

I think you overestimate how many of them will stay, sir.

Given a just cause,

will they raise their hands again?

I believe they will.

And if we can't trust them to stay,

what can we trust them to do?

We were all held in the same room with our hands behind our backs.

As the deadline approached,

Serrat would check in more often,

reminding us that our time was getting short.

And once the deadline passed, he said that

what was about to happen was our commander's fault.

We begged,

but he took Red away,

and... we heard four gunshots.

Were you ever separated at any time for any reason?

So neither of you spent any time alone with Serrat?

No, sir.

No.

Okay.

You did good.

What'd you think, I was just gonna roll up in a ball and cry?

"To the crew of the USS Colorado,

given our circumstances, it is only right

that you should each have the choice

whether to remain under my command

or to be honorably dismissed.

Those choosing to leave will be required

to continue executing their duties

until such a time as safe transit

back to the United States can be arranged."

"Captain Marcus Chaplin."

Come in.

I can't do my job if you keep me in the dark.

I'm the XO of this boat, and I respectfully insist

that you inform me of any decision

that will radically affect the disposition of my crew.

I thought my feelings on this subject were pretty clear,

- as were yours. - You've made your decision,

and ll see that it's carried out.

But you shouldn't have put me on my heels like that.

I need to talk to you for a minute.

What are you planning on doing

with the body in my refrigerator?

I'm sorry. It's just-- It's been there for a week.

I know it must be hard, but your friend deserves better.

James. Hop's waking up.

He's not doing so good, man.

What are you doing here?

Look, I'm not sure if you noticed,

but most of the hospital staff have abandoned ship.

If you want, I could have

one of the corpsman come up from the boat and have a look at him.

It's bad, James. I need help.

Okay, buddy.

Hospital's out of morphine.

Someone raided the supply cabinet.

Listen.

You wanna talk to someone on my team, you talk to me.

Stay away from my guys, especially Hopper.

You ever ask yourself why the Illinois

tried to blow us out of the water

30 minutes after we picked you up?

Well, your captain disobeyed a direct order.

You think that might have something to do with it?

Hop. Hang in there, buddy.

I'm gonna get you fixed up. Viper, stay with him.

Hey, I'm about to lose my crew.

And if I'm gonna convince them to stay,

I need to know what this is really about.
