We have a divide that can allow us to send one human being back in time.

You're mine, sucker.

Round one.

You know, I kind of feel bad hitting someone who looks like you.

You mean you don't want to pay me back for all those stressful time jumps I put

you through?

On second thought, maybe I could spar with it all, even if it is virtual

reality. Actually, it's a step further. It's virtual real. The electrosensitive

tape should enable you to feel the blows.

Yeah, if you ever land one.

Impressive pugilistics, Mr. Parker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. How about we make it a little more interesting?

Put your money where your joysticks are, science boy.

Oh, Frank, man, now you know that's not fair.

Well, maybe if you give me odds, like, I don't know, everything I've lost to you

in poker in the last six months, double or nothing.

You got it.

Okay, Smarty, you ready now?

Hit it open.

Hit it.

The Chinese have stated they'll use force to stop Taiwan from declaring

fully independent state.

The Navy's increased patrols in the area, but they're to show support to the

Taiwanese people.

Somehow I get the curious feeling that this isn't just a current events lesson.

It's not. We're on standby alert in case that hotspot goes to full boil.

Well, good.

Maybe we can get some payback on those commie sons of bitches for stealing our

secrets.

You're going to be good for Grandma while Mommy goes around the world?

Annie and I will be just fine.

I love you, Mommy.

Sailor, that cover belongs on your head, not in your hand.

Aye, aye.

Sorry, Captain.

You do great, just like you always do.

Bye, Mom.

Gotta go.

I love you both.

Be good.

Now if old Dan gets under that fence, he's gone.

He's the best hunting dog I ever had.

I'll watch him, darling.

Who would I piss off to get transferred to the only warship in this man's navy

to be run by a woman?

Maybe she's a nice person, Bo.

If Phil was having a tea party, wouldn't that be just fine?

Bo, come on. You're leaving his heart now.

I'm sorry.

I'll clean him up.

Catch it on deck!

At ease.

Weapons. We haven't met.

You're Lieutenant LaSalle, correct?

Yes, sir.

You mean, yes, ma 'am.

Yes, I do.

Ma 'am.

Sorry.

Old habit.

I've run up against a lot of old habits, Lieutenant.

I guess you all have heard that we'll have an honored guest with us this trip,

Admiral Robert Newman.

It's not every day that a full admiral gets his hands dirty, so we're going to

look sharp.

We're going to be sharp.

Navigation. Tactic.

Lord, I forgot what the presence of an old man on a ship will do.

At ease, everybody, please.

Permission to enter the bridge, Captain.

Permission granted, sir.

Fine, fine.

Getting out of the Pentagon is probably the best thing that's happened to me in

years.

There's no fresh air anywhere in that place.

I've got the logbooks ready for the Admiral's inspection.

Ah, no rush, no rush. I'm not here to breathe down your neck.

You've got yourself a beautiful vessel, Captain.

Top -of -the -line guidance systems, weapons, the first full stealth naval

system.

I just hope an old swabby like me can understand it. You're being modest,

Admiral. It was your push that got this system on the Melville, sir.

Well, the rest of the crew is ready for your address.

Crew of the Melville, this is Admiral Newman.

It's a proud pleasure to be allowed aboard your little yacht.

You're the best of the best, and I'll just try and stay out of your way when

prove it.

May the gods be with us, and if they're not, then tell them to get ready for a

hell of a fight.

I feel terrible about what happened. Welcome to the club.

Oh, well, that's not going to work. It's an old wife tale. Here, I've got

something that'll help you.

Remove the stake, please.

Oh, my God.

John said the program wouldn't bruise you.

It didn't. I got this when I hit the floor.

Oh, well, this will only hurt for a second.

Ah. It'll stop the swelling.

Nice watch.

Is it new?

I just bought it with some money that I won.

On the fight?

It's just a little side bet.

Donovan's idea.

Oh, really?

Yep. It only loses one second every five years.

So, anything else you might need?

Nothing that won't get me hit again.

Okay, then. Good night.

Sweet dream.

Help me slow on the upgrade.

Captain, that course would put us in Taiwanese territorial waters.

I'm aware of that.

Our orders are to survey the coast, and if I have to blur a few boundaries to do

it accurately, so be it.

Good idea, Kegel.

Let's have a look around.

Evaluator sonar, hydrophone effect, mark one, four, nine.

Wow.

That'll be strange.

Captain Kegel, I think you should see this, ma 'am.

It's a sub at 40 ,000 clearance south -southeast. It's in Taiwanese waters.

I don't recognize the configuration, but it's definitely not Taiwanese.

Or one of ours.

It's, uh, noisy.

An old diesel's my best.

It's Russian. Tango class.

Sir, why would a Russian sub be six miles off Taiwan?

I doubt if it's a Russian crew. The red Chinese have been snapping up bargains

from their cash -poor neighbors.

Guess we found one.

I want a ping on that sub.

Minimum amplification.

Continuous tracking.

Aye -aye, Captain.

That cub, he's spying.

I'd say so.

Captain, this sub is running.

She's heard our ping.

Stay on her.

Report all course changes to helm.

General quarters.

That's more fun than I'm allowed to have.

online. Steady on my command.

Yes, ma 'am. Two blunts, torpedoes, two.

Yes, ma 'am.

Two blunts coming online.

I bet you it was Bob.

He's on the combo.

That's a U .S. destroyer, the Melville there on the right. It turned up a red

Chinese submarine off Taiwan.

So how long has the Melville been tracking the sub?

24 hours now. They're playing hide and seek.

And what's the destroyer's most recent plan of action?

We don't know. It's cut off all communication and gone into stealth

That's the trouble with these cat and mouse games. They usually turn out to be

nothing but a dry hump.

I do so hope you're right, Nate.

I've told the NSA security's at a maximum.

Full alert.

Uh, propellant.

The damn fools.

They're playing with tactical nukes.

Well, that's not your usual dry hump. Get me the Pentagon.

We still don't know who initiated this.

It's been 72 hours. Why isn't our intel any better?

No survivors on our vessel or the Chinese submarine, and the stealth mode

Melville left us in the dark. We do know that a Chinese plane went down as well,

but the Chinese certainly aren't. sharing any information from their side.

Well, the damn Reds probably started it.

One important piece of intel.

The Melville had a VIP on board, Admiral Robert A. Newman.

Oh, Newman.

He's top of the chain. He's next in line to be a Joint Chief. He's a close

friend of the President's. The Chinese and the Russians have their nuclear

arsenals fully armed. We're DEFCON 3.

What's our status here?

The sphere's good to go.

Well, let's move, people.

Commence vector scan.

Melville sailed nine days ago out of San Diego, captained by a commander, Helen

Kegel. She's good.

You know her?

Well, I mean, she's got to be good, right?

First woman to get a destroyer command and whatnot.

Put a green commander in charge of the Navy's first stealth boat. What do they

expect? Come on, Ramsey, you mean female commander, right?

Well, no, Vukovich, but if the pumps fit.

So we contact the ship and tell them to turn around.

Well, Newman's got four stars. I doubt he's used to being told what to do.

We better start the groundwork right now. We might have to call in a lot of

favors on this one.

Damn it, Barney, you're my last hope. I've tried everyone on the chain of

command that I can.

I know the Admiral is his own boss.

What do you think we've been dealing with?

I understand your position.

Oh, for God's sakes. Can't find one backbone in all of Washington?

Same answer at every junction.

Admiral Newman reports only to the president.

So we've struck out so far.

Yeah. The Navy insists it's imperative that the Melville stay in that area.

As for influencing the Admiral, we need you to take a boat ride.

Ramsey's getting blueprints of the ship and working up documents for you to

carry. You'll have timely intel that will hopefully convince the Admiral to

divert the ship to Australia.

This little baby has its own dedicated link to our satellite.

You'll be able to stay in touch with us at all times. I've heard that one

before. Now, you have to be careful operating it. It's a little tricky, but

going to explain it to you right now. Oh, hey, I got something for you.

Really?

Well, now, how did you know I wanted this?

Well, you made it painfully clear in the last timeline.

Consider it an early birthday present.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I love technology.

Permission to come aboard, Captain.

Permission granted.

I'll show him through his quarters, ma 'am. Not necessary.

Not necessary, sailor.

This way, Mr. Parker.

What the hell are you doing on my ship? Good to see you too, Helen.

Look, I'm sorry.

But the last thing I need is you plunked in my lap at a time like this. Do you

know who's on this voyage?

Look, that's why I'm here. I've got a message for the Admiral.

Classified NSA intel.

I see.

Well, the Admiral is supposedly here checking on a new system, but in

he's checking on me.

Apparently, so are you.

Oh, come on, Helen.

I see. Oh, I could order you to tell me everything now. Oh, I love it when

you're rough with me.

We'll discuss this later.

What, no kiss?

Admiral Newman, Frank Parker, NSA.

Parker.

Frank B., Desert Storm Special Ops.

I decorated you, didn't I, son? Yes, you did, sir, along with 25 others that

day. I didn't expect you to remember me.

Damn it, son, you did a fine job out there. Well, thank you, sir.

What are you drinking?

Uh, whatever you are, Admiral.

Kentucky bourbon and branch water.

Sounds good.

Now, sir, I need to talk to you about the Taiwan situation. Oh, by the way,

happen to know the final score of the Army -Navy game? I haven't heard.

Um, Navy night. Army 9. Now, about the situation... I knew our front fork could

hold those ground -pounding pith ants.

Here.

They're the blue and gold.

Blue and gold.

So, what's this highly secret NSA message?

Oh, yes.

I believe that should explain everything.

They're telling me the Taiwan Strait's a potential danger zone.

Well, no Shinola.

Yes, but... That's the whole reason I want to be there.

If I'm sending men and machines to that area, I should have a first -hand look.

Yes, sir, but there have been developments since you've sailed. It's

advised the ship change course.

So the NSA has a crystal ball, does it?

The NSA, State Department, and CIA all concur.

Yeah, well, a bunch of pencil -pushing old ladies. Yeah, I agree with you, sir,

but... Listen, have you seen the whole ship yet?

Finish your drink, I'll give you the nickel tour.

Yeah, I'd love to, sir, but...

An order, Mr. Parker.

Aye, aye, sir.

She's our latest.

Pass rock torpedo, tube launch, sand, two 5 -inch guns, and full stealth

capability. Can you believe that?

Some piece of technology, sir.

You've got a 6 % error margin on your targeting grid.

Well, we've got a pretty high chop out there, Captain.

8 % fluctuation is allowable for this kind of weather. Not on my ship.

Recalibrate your system. I want it to lessen 3%. It's going to take a little

while, ma 'am. I don't care if you're here all night. It's sloppy work and I

won't have it.

Yes, ma 'am.

Captain, the sub's running.

We've heard our thing.

Stay on her.

Report all course changes to Helm.

If I could offer an opinion, it might be a good idea to wait and see on this

thing.

Opinion noted, Mr. Parker.

None further needed.

There could be something to that.

An overly aggressive pursuit of that sub could push it into countermeasures.

They're violating Taiwan's 12 -mile limit, sir. Do you want to let a spy get

away?

You're living up to your reputation, Captain.

Go ahead.

The Admiral always told me to shove our intel, and now Kegel's going to push the

sub into a confrontation to impress him.

I think this is worth blowing out cover for, Bradley. I want to tell the Admiral

what we know and how we know it.

Not an option. You know as well as I do what our policy is, Frank.

Yeah, I know. Need to know only. Well, if they ever were needed, now.

That's something I can't approve.

Well, what do you suggest I do? Sip cocktails and play shuffleboard?

I'll keep pushing the Pentagon. You keep that ship afloat, Frank. Right.

We're going to stay close on that sub.

It's a diesel, so it's got a surface for air eventually.

Captain, we're getting a message on a hydrophone frequency. I think it's from

the sub.

Let me hear it.

We now realize we are in Taiwanese waters and apologize.

Our charts are mismarked.

Our oxygen is low. Please allow us to surface and go home.

That's a reasonable request, at least until you get more data.

Helm, hard right, right of 30 degrees.

We'll give him some breathing room.

Aye, aye. Right 30 degrees, Captain.

That message, you believe it?

If you were in their position, isn't that what you'd try?

They're not about to give you any truth.

Helm, rescind that last order.

Aye, Captain. Use sonar coordinates to keep on that sub's tail.

Increase speed to bring us within 500 yards.

Increasing speed. So close, a cornered animal fights the hardest.

Good advice, Mr. Parker.

Give her 1 ,000 yards.

Captain, we've got an airborne bogey at 10 ,000 feet, bearing 258 degrees.

Speed 550 knots and closing.

No response to our hail for ID.

What's your defense plan, Teagle? By the book, sir. Weapons. Lock up the LF -10

missile on that aircraft.

Yes, ma 'am.

How long without a positive ID on that plane? You could really be studying it.

Mr. Parker, when I need yet another of your opinions, I'll ask for it. Focus at

eight miles and close in. Don't lose track of that. That's what they want you

do. I'm aware of that, sir.

Captain, we've just been locked onto by the plane's weapons system.

Are you sure?

Or maybe it's a shadow from the plane's radar. I don't know, but it's six miles

away now, and it looks like a weapons block. Six miles away is too close. I

that, sir. Still too many unknowns you're taking. You're hereby removed

this bridge, Mr. Parker.

Orders, Captain.

My orders.

My orders.

Captain, they're almost on us.

Helen, don't do this. Our intel's set. Fire!

No, damn it!

Who the hell do you think you are?

Captain, we have a message from the plane putting it on speaker.

Air Delhi flight 304. We didn't copy that.

Say again, at least.

Can't pull miss a lock.

Captain!

Captain, I do not appreciate the position you put me in.

Who knows how many innocent people were on that plane?

Get back to your station. It would have been my hand that killed them all, ma

'am. I said get back to your station. That's an order.

All right.

Things need to settle down a bit.

For the good of the ship, I'm going to take command temporarily.

I respectfully request you not do that, sir.

I think you're in need of a rest.

You're relieved on my order.

I've got a periscope and snorkel breaking the surface one -half mile

-northeast. Officer to the deck.

Use radar coordinates to head straight for them.

We'll force them back down so they can't run.

Let's howl. Once that's accomplished, go full stealth.

We don't want them getting a fix on us.

Yes, sir!

Thanks a lot, you son of a bitch.

Just here for the Admiral, huh?

I guess that includes ganging up with him to take my ship away.

He put you up to all of this, didn't he? He had you flown out here.

No, no, you don't understand.

I understand that I am still your superior officer, and you advise to

as much.

Captain, I have a message coming through on tactical encrypted frequency.

This is Admiral Newman.

I am now in command of the ship. Captain Kegel has been relieved.

Several outside communications, incoming and outgoing.

I think you'll want to hear that message, Admiral. It could be from the

High Command.

We're looking at Naval High Command. Now, you want to try and tell me how to

the ship? If we continue our present action, I have data that absolutely

assures... What data?

Data I'm not at liberty to give you, sir, but I believe that message may be

the President himself.

Huh?

He's busy out in Michigan giving campaign speeches.

And he's free to do that because I'm on watch here.

Take the cool head and the firm hand to change the course of the world.

Add in the courage to do what's right.

That's from your book, isn't it, sir?

I've read it in the ship's library.

Well, thank you, son.

Maybe we'll have a book signing after we lasso that trespassing communist son of

a bitch.

What the hell are you laughing at?

Well, my way of thinking, the universe just set itself right.

Communist ideologues' aggression must result in disaster. This cannot be

at the negotiating table.

The Marxist -Leninist mindset can change its ultimate goal of world domination

no more than a leopard can change the color of its spots.

At this time, war with Red China should almost be welcomed before this sleeping

giant can truly awaken.

We need to talk. What happened on that bridge wasn't right, Helen.

Damn straight.

Listen.

I know it looked like the Admiral and I were doing a number on you, but... Here.

Read this.

He hates communists, so what?

So maybe he wasn't just testing your command skills up there. Maybe he wants

excuse to fulfill his own prophecies.

He doesn't need excuses. He's an Admiral, for God's sake.

Even if you're right.

And what am I supposed to do? March in there, snap my little feet, demand my

ship back? I'll back you all the way, Helen. This situation's going to get out

of hand. I guarantee it. Oh, you guarantee it? Well, that changes

Oh, don't start with that.

Look, I am not about to walk face first into a propeller based on one of your

famous guarantees, Mr.

Reliability. All right, if you want to go there, you knew exactly what you were

getting into with me. I thought I knew.

Frank, you walked out without saying a word.

What are you talking about? You were never there. You're so hell -bent on

career, on getting into the boys' club.

Oh, man.

Who's this?

Annie.

Six years old.

And the best thing that ever happened to me.

I got a boy.

Jimmy. Five now.

That morning in Pensacola, you thought I was asleep.

But I watched you write your goodbye note, Frank.

I didn't stop you.

Because I knew that ultimately I could never rely on you.

I'm sorry, Helen. I never meant to hurt you.

But...

I need your help on this one.

Admiral.

What's up, sir? We're in international waters.

Looks like there's nothing more we can do, sir.

The hell there isn't.

You can't let it sneak home and get away with this.

We've got to hurry back to the Taiwanese waters.

Even if we have to...

Rabbit snorkeling on his throat.

Let's go.

Eagle didn't cause it.

to ask for it with the Admiral.

I think he's a sandwich shorter than a picnic, sir.

And I think we just rammed stuff.

Frank, the only person on the planet who can give an order to Admiral Newman is

the President himself.

Yeah, we'll have him call here immediately.

We're on radio silence, but I'll patch him through on this phone, and if you

can't do that, then tell me how to physically shut this turkey down.

What turkey would that be, son?

Are you aware you are in direct violation of a naval order? Hand me

That signal you sent out could lead the Reds right on.

Admiral Newman, could you please return to the bridge immediately?

We've got a situation up here.

Bring him.

It gives you me trouble.

What have you got?

Admiral, radar's confirmed.

Two bogeys inbound.

Red Chinese fighter, sir. No doubt about it this time. They honed in on that

damn radio signal.

Maintain self.

Here's where we take the advantage.

Don't be foolish, Admiral. This is exactly the situation I was warning you

about. Yeah, your crystal ball, no doubt.

There's an incoming message from the flames. Do we respond?

Not bloody likely.

We have positive ID on both those flames and red Chinese fighters?

Yes, sir.

Weapons locked, missiles on them. Aye, aye, sir.

That's a presidential decision, sir.

Don't you be glad I took the initiative.

Plungable deniability.

The planes have now crossed into optimal missile range, Admiral.

Then I guess we'd better fire one and two. No!

Dang.

That's a real deal.

Missiles are downrange, Admiral. Ten miles to impact.

Nine. Missiles to self -destruct, sailor. You have the right to disobey

unlawful order.

Unlawful to who? This is my ship.

You're overstepping your authority.

Two miles.

One.

Impact.

Admiral, we destroyed one. The other one is damaged and it's breaking off.

Gentlemen.

We are poised on the threshold of war.

And all it...

Terrible splendor.

Though our sacrifice may be great, our cause is just.

Our lives are a small price to pay for beginning the cleansing battle that will

save the future for our children and generations to come.

Don't you realize what's going on here?

His actions are going to kill God knows how many people, including all of you.

Let me tell you some cold, hard facts.

In the early 60s, Red Shine was weak, disorganized.

I urged LBJ to let us find a reason to attack the bastards and cripple them for

good. Well, he almost did it. Almost!

Well, they're still weak.

But now they've stolen our nuclear secrets.

I have intel they'll implement those secrets within the year. Full

intercontinental nuke capability. Do you understand the impact of that?

We have a brief window of opportunity here to end that threat once and for

All we need is a reason.

And I've found it.

With no concern at all for human loss, Captain Kegel belongs in charge here.

Women belong behind the lines where they've always been. Oh, is that what

trying to prove?

Take him to the brig!

Admiral Newman, I have an important announcement.

The most important one you will ever hear.

We are now the spearhead in a decisive military action against the People's

Republic of China.

The full power of the United States will soon be brought to bear in our support

against this dangerous foe.

We've got the red Chinese dragon's leg caught in a trap.

I say let's take it off, right to the tentacles.

It's life or death now for all of us.

And until I've got it, it's about the future. A future I know is fact, and if

don't do something about it now, our kids are going to be the ones who pay

price for it.

Look, I'm with a top -secret NSA project, and I was sent here to stop

Newman is doing.

How do I know that?

You just got to trust me on this one. I'm not going to let you down again.

I swear it on my son's life.

Update on that sub's position.

Admiral Newman.

I regret to inform you, sir, that I now officially retake command of this ship

and place you under arrest. Oh, really?

I think not, Billy. Sir, under Naval Code 563 .4, you are hereby relieved for

violating the rules of military engagement on the high seas.

You attacked a vessel in international waters, sir. You quote the code to me? I

helped write the... There's something trying to break away at high speeds.

Dang!

What's he doing here? Put this man in the brick!

Commander of the bridge. We didn't think about it, cowboy. Full speed ahead.

Get changed. Everyone off the bridge now.

Move it.

Move. What's going on?

Who's laughing now, huh?

Move, move. Son of a freaking bastard.

Stay.

Get M -16s up here. As many magazines as you can carry. Double factor.

I bypass auxiliary control.

There, I've opened a con line.

Uh, exactly how bulletproof is that glass?

Looks like we're going to find out. Get down!

Fire!

You okay?

Calling the USS Mailbox.

How do we answer that?

Look at that.

The bypass is over there.

Hold on.

This is the NSA calling the USS Mailbox. Do you agree?

Parker! Parker, hold on. You got it.

Put it through.

It's too long. Get some ordnance.

A serious charge will blow the hatch away.

Sir? Do it, LaSalle!

Admiral, a charge that size would destroy every system on the bridge.

And it'd definitely kill Captain Kegel. Obey the order!

Sir, I do not believe I will do that.

Real guys, we're running out of time.

Damn it, break it through.

Parker, here comes the president.

USS Melville, this is the president.

Good, we'll make this official.

John, it's Bob Newman.

I'm damn glad to hear your voice.

Bob, what the hell's going on out there? I've been told we shot down a Chinese

aircraft without provocation.

I acted to protect this ship and the final enemy.

from a foreign aggressor. You were fired on.

Well, the danger was imminent.

If I had to wait around for an authorization, we wouldn't be here

conversation. Mr. President, Frank Parker, NSA.

Those planes were responding to aggression against this submarine by

Newman. That's the same report I received from my command.

For God's sakes, John, that little NSA spy has been trying to sabotage this

mission from the start.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Tell them about the mission, Admiral.

War with the Red Dragon is not just a possibility, it's an imperative.

Don't you quote my writings to me.

History doesn't remember peacekeepers, does it, Admiral?

Only the glamorous warriors.

Getting a little too close to the end of the career to go out quietly, wasn't

it? Dammit, I am a peacekeeper.

Without action, the sword of Damocles hangs over generations of Americans.

Why doesn't anyone understand that?

He is a good man, but boy, has he lost it.

The hour is now.

Strength is within our grasp.

Now hear this.

As commander -in -chief of all our forces, I hereby receive Admiral Newman

active duty effective immediately.

What? The bell fell is to be restored to her proper chain of command.

I am contacting the Chinese government to have to pull back their forces.

This mission is not over. Continue firing.

Let the direct order.

We have our orders, sir.

Put your weapons down.

Don't you see this is a deception?

They're trying to detain us from our mission.

Haven't you men been trained?

Admiral, sir, we're going to take you down below.

You need a little rest.

Let's go, sir.

Captain, it's over. No, it's not.

Bridge repeating.

Torpedo approaching. Bearing 306.

Half a mile and a quarter.

What the hell? While we were busy figuring out who gets to drive, the

got the drop on us. Weapon. Yes, ma 'am. Tube launch on my command.

Captain. Is he going to try and hit a torpedo with a torpedo?

I'm not going to try, Mr. Parker. I'm going to do it.

Tube launch online.

Set tube launch to detonator 3 .5.

That's too close, Captain. Do it. Torpedo 1 ,200 yards.

1 ,000.

850. 700.

Captain, when do I fire?

When she tells you to, sailor. 500 yards.

Target one -quarter mile and closing.

Steady.

And fire.

Detonate torpedo.

Damn, it worked.

This is the president.

I've just spoke to the Chinese premier.

He's called off the attack.

It's working.

Dude,

not bad at all.

How's the hen?

I'll live.

Thank you.

You got me my shit back.

I didn't get it back, Captain. You took it back.

You deserve it, Helen.

Is there something we can help you with there, Taylor?
