So

So Doc, you

think you can make it so I got a scar?

Sure, tough guy.

How big you want it? Not too big, just

so it's noticeable. What is this for,

your girlfriend? Well, it's for all the

future girls. Uh-huh.

You're going to need a story to go with

this. I don't know, I got a story, but

it's too painful for me to tell.

General quarters, all hands man your

stations.

Commander Greek Carry on, petty officer.

Aye, sir.

Right full rudder, all ahead 3/4 5° down

bubble. Aye, sir. Right full rudder, all

ahead 3/4 5° down bubble.

Sonar con, what do you have? Con sonar

contact, 1,000 yd and closing, sir.

They're right behind us.

Rig for stealth. Aye, sir. Rig for

stealth. Give me a firing solution,

Commander. Aye, sir. Give me a firing

solution.

Flood tube one and four. Flood tube one

and four, aye.

Range.

Range 3,400 yd, sir.

10 seconds to stealth, Captain.

Range. Range 3,000 yd and closing, sir.

Sonar, target bearing. Sonar, we've lost

contact, trying to reestablish. He's

going to turn and hit us.

Right full rudder, 10° down bubble.

Right full rudder, 10° down bubble, aye.

Where's that firing solution, Commander?

We have it now, sir.

Sonar, talk to me. Nothing, sir. We

can't find him.

Damn it.

We are locked.

Fire one. Aye, sir. Fire one. Fire two.

Aye, sir. Fire two. Sir, we have fish in

the water, 1,200 yd and closing. Crash

dive, 20° down bubble. Crash dive, 20°

down bubble, aye.

Perimeter range, 600 yd and closing.

Time to target. Con sonar, 20 seconds,

sir.

Launch port countermeasures. Launch port

countermeasures, aye.

The ship

is destroyed. Simulation complete. Damn.

That's it. That's it. We did it,

gentlemen. Great work, great work. Good

work, Bill.

Thank you, sir.

The most powerful navy in the world is

now invisible. Yes, it is a bad day for

the bad guys.

Con combat, Captain Richards wishes to

speak to you, sir.

This is the Captain. Captain, this

exercise is terminated. Congratulations.

Everyone in Washington will be pleased

to know that this stealth technology has

been proven effective under combat

conditions. Great job out there, Brad.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, by the way

happy retirement. Thanks for reminding

me. Ready back to Reykjavik Harbor. Out.

Send fire control party. Think you

pissed him off? Yeah, that's because I

get to play with this puppy and he

doesn't. Fitting end to your career,

Skipper. Thanks, Bill.

Wish I could say the same.

You know they got plans for all of us.

Come on. Believe me.

I know.

You know, most guys would look at your

reassignment to the Pentagon as what it

is, an honor.

I've earned the right to have my own

command, you know that.

Whether I agree with you or whether I

don't, it's out of our hands.

I don't mean to put a damp on your last

day, Skipper. No, it's okay. I mean, we

all have our wins and then we change.

Indeed, we do.

Okay, Doc, so let's go over this again.

Once you have a missile launch, you got

three choices. First, you can just send

that nasty thing to your target. Second,

if you want to change your mind about

who you want to nuke, you can pick a

secondary target. Or if you want to

disarm it, you just put in the code and

it self-destructs.

It's pretty simple.

Yeah, see how simple it is to put the

hammer to 20 million people? Oh, well.

If you're having second thoughts there,

Doc, then maybe you should just stick to

medicine. Just because you'd rather be

home watching some game on high def on

DirecTV. To me, this is the life.

What more you got?

All right, fine.

Here's the code book. It has all the

self-destruct codes, but they change

every day, so you got to stay up to date

before you come on duty.

So if you want to try that one,

just put it in

and then it would self-destruct.

Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is the

fishing vessel the Cyclops Point. We are

taking on water. I repeat, we are taking

on water.

Exo on the con.

Sir. You okay? Yes, sir. Just a bit of a

headache.

Well, there's a

fishing boat out there. It's about 4 mi

away.

Apparently, it's been taking on a lot of

water. Captain wants to abandon ship.

There's a NATO patrol boat. It's about 2

hours away. We'll just monitor the

situation with the fishing boat until

they get there.

Sir, one of the drills scheduled for

this mission is a rescue at sea. It

would seem to me the perfect opportunity

to test the efficiency of reduced crew

under natural emergency situation. What

do you say?

Think it's a good idea. Hey, Doc. What's

on the menu?

Shepherd's pie with your choice of cream

corn, string beans, or cauliflower.

Yeah, go pass.

Doc, uh

how long you going to use my storeroom

for your rack? People are getting to

talk. You know, you think with a crew

this size, a man could get some peace

and quiet, wouldn't you?

Life on a boomer. Wake me when it's

pizza night. It's not till Friday.

Exactly. Close the hatch.

All you sleep tight, little Doc.

Petty officers, let's get these people

on deck as soon as possible. Have the

captain report to the con.

Let's get a move on. Every second we

spend on the surface is 1 second too

long.

Get these people to the con.

Sir.

Captain crew of the fishing boat.

Captain.

I'd like to welcome you and your entire

crew aboard the USS Montana.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, they got weapons.

What the hell do you think you're

plotting now, Captain? We're taking the

boat. Garrett.

Express your men. Let's go.

Move.

Hands.

Steady. Nobody move.

Put your hands in the air.

Don't shoot.

Don't fire.

Go down.

Got everything we want here. Hey. Go

down.

Don't move.

Don't fire.

Come on, move it. Let's go.

Go, move.

What the hell are you going to do with

my men here? They'll be fine.

Inger it.

Put them on a boat. Don't worry, they'll

have you there, too, supervising them.

You are out of your damn mind.

I finally have my command.

Get this man off my sub.

Just a second.

I might need this.

I'll see you at your court-martial.

Go. Go. Move. All right, all right.

Everybody out. Wait for it.

Move.

Move.

Lieutenant.

I believe you have something I want.

That's it. I'll take the key. What's the

situation?

Get off my sub.

When you hear your name called, report

to duty station. Campbell, take the

helm.

Romano, weapons control.

Foran, ask your plans. Rosen?

Chang?

Get that safe open and get me those

firing keys now.

Garrett?

Have your men report to mess for waiting

instructions once we're underway.

I got it. I got it.

Stop. Open her.

Go. Dick. Dick.

Go.

Go.

Go back. All right. Garrett, get out

there.

Here at station.

One at a time. Go.

Okay.

Lieutenant? I see the uh boat works.

Let's get all these men on board.

All right. You heard him.

Let's make sure everybody's accounted

for.

All right.

Sir? Yeah.

I was able to smuggle this off the sub.

A radio?

Great work.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

To any ship.

Any ship.

This is Captain Daniel Lewis of the USS

Montana. Commander,

we're picking up a distress call from

Captain Lewis and the crew of the

Montana.

They have a radio?

I told you we should kill them. You were

supposed to check them. Sir,

that NATO patrol boat is heading in our

direction.

They're responding to Captain Lewis'

distress call.

Get out of my sight.

Mr. Allenson, take us down to periscope

depth. Aye, sir.

Make a depth 150 ft.

Attention.

This is your captain.

First, I want to congratulate you all on

a job well done. We are now the proud

owners of the world's most powerful

nuclear submarine.

The only one of its kind, in fact.

We will proceed to the East Coast of the

United States,

where we will hold the city of

Washington, D.C. for ransom.

Our price

is $1 billion.

That's billion with a B. Once our

demands are met, we'll then proceed

to other sources of income. London,

Rome, Zurich.

Once we have amassed enough wealth to

buy our safety,

we will then disperse

and live the lives others can only dream

about.

Each of you has been chosen for your own

particular strengths,

and I know I can count on you

to do whatever needs to be done

to carry out and complete this mission.

That is all.

Commander,

the NATO vessel is demanding that we

surface immediately. I am captain of

this sub, Mr. Gerard, and you will

address me as such. Yes, sir.

Captain.

Mr. Allenson, bring it up on the board.

Aye, sir.

Target settings the NATO ship and the

fishing boat, range 1,000 yd.

Open torpedo doors two and three. Aye,

sir.

Open torpedo doors two and three. Sir.

Is this absolutely necessary?

They have made it necessary, Mr.

Allenson.

Fire torpedoes. Fire torpedoes.

Fire torpedo two.

Fire torpedo three.

I'd say we're off to a good start.

Have you contacted naval headquarters?

Aye, sir. The message has been sent.

Good.

Yes?

Mr. President, we have a situation.

What is it? One of our submarines, the

USS Montana, has been hijacked by

terrorists.

Led by the sub's XO, a Commander William

Krieg. Also, a NATO patrol boat has gone

missing in that same area. We fear she

might have been fired upon by the

Montana. Montana, that's a stealth

prototype, isn't it?

I'm afraid so, sir.

I'll have them take us to orange alert.

Yes, sir.

Enter. Sir.

This just came in on the emergency

channel.

Emergency aboard USS Montana, possible

casualties. Hold your current position

and await further orders.

What do you think that means?

I wish I knew.

What are you guys doing here?

Get off my sub.

Mr. President.

What is it? Please be seated.

We have it, sir. Well then, let's hear

it.

Gentlemen,

I am William Krieg of the USS Montana.

It is my duty to inform you

as of 2300 hours this evening,

I have assumed control of this vessel.

The Navy never saw fit to give me my own

command, so I have taken it.

And since I'm in the driver's seat, so

to speak,

I thought I would indulge myself a

little.

I want $1

billion or I'm going to blow the city of

or I'm going to blow the city of

Washington, D.C. off the map.

As you probably know, the Montana is a

one-of-a-kind submarine.

Equipped with 24 Trident ballistic

missiles,

and of course, there's always the matter

of that

stealth technology.

$1 billion sounds like a lot, I know,

but

look at it this way.

$1 billion and everyone on Pennsylvania

Avenue

and everyone on Pennsylvania Avenue gets

to wake up in the morning.

Not a bad deal, right?

It is now 0300.

You have 18 hours.

Instructions on how I'd like the funds

transferred will be forthcoming.

That is all.

Mr. President,

we're being redirected to a secure

location. The Joint Chiefs are en route

and will be standing by for briefings

upon your arrival.

Make it happen. Yes, sir.

Communications room, respond.

Communication secure.

And engine room, respond.

Sir, I can't reach Hernandez or Edwards.

I'll send someone down to check on them.

Set the course.

I'll be in my quarters.

Aye, sir.

Helmsman, change course to heading 260.

All ahead 3/4 to off the coast of

Maryland. Aye, sir.

Garrett? I'm here, Mr. Allenson.

Hernandez and Edwards aren't responding.

Send someone to look for them in the

engine room. All right. Got it.

Stand by.

What happened with Edwards? He's dead.

Let's move out.

Enter.

Sir.

We have a problem.

This is your captain. If you have one of

the original crew members still on

board,

this man is extremely dangerous. If you

see him,

report his position immediately. That is

all.

You were supposed to do a head count,

Mr. Allenson. I was told everyone was

accounted for.

Yes, sir. That information came from Mr.

Gerard, chief of the boat. Gerard, you

were responsible for offloading my crew,

were you not?

Con, come in.

This is the captain. Get off my sub.

Who is this?

Mr. Garrett. Getting on it, Captain.

Find him and bring him to me. Yes, sir.

Go. I can't.

Feeling it, Mr. President?

Area has been secured. Joint Chiefs are

standing by to brief you, sir. Thank

you, Scott.

Aye, aye, sir.

How do you do,

Admiral?

Thank you for letting us into your home,

Mr. President.

What do we know? He's got stealth

technology and he's threatening

Washington, D.C. He's already torpedoed

one NATO patrol vessel

and an unidentified fishing vessel. What

are they actually capable of doing to

Washington?

The truth of the matter is the Montana

is capable of outrunning and outgunning

everything else in our Navy.

There's a chance that he could beat our

intercept missile and we wouldn't even

see it because it's invisible to sonar.

How fast can this Montana actually go?

10 knots faster than anything we've got.

Do we have safeguards to prevent the

launching of nuclear missiles from

submarines? Yes, it takes two keys to

affect the missile launch. The captain

has one and the weapons control officer

Yeah. All right. I want all available

resources brought into this area.

I want the entire East Coast blanketed

with as many ships and aircraft as we

can muster.

Then I want to know everything there is

to know about this Commander Krieg. Is

he a lunatic acting alone or is he part

of something bigger? Call Katie

McAllister at the Central Intelligence

Agency. Tell her I need her here

yesterday.

She's already on her way, sir. Thank

you. Assuming you're correct, Admiral.

Let's get in touch with Captain Richards

on board the Florida. Have him track the

last known position of the Montana now.

Sir.

It worked.

Take this to missile control and stand

by. Yes, sir.

You know, I'm thinking

maybe we should give the President a

little show.

Something to prove we're serious, that

we have the ability and the balls to

carry out our threat. Sir.

You've already sunk a NATO boat and

torpedoed your Montana crewmates. I

think you've made your point. I want to

believe you, Mr. Allen. I am doing, but

knowing the Joint Chiefs

they've got everything under the sun

gunning for us right now.

What's so special about that spot?

It's in the middle of nowhere. Sir, if

we launch a nuclear warhead, everyone's

going to know where we are.

There.

Now, prepare to launch.

Yes, sir.

Weapons. Ready to launch.

Ready to launch, sir.

Prepare for missile launch. I repeat,

prepare for missile launch.

Ready?

Fire.

Sir.

You've been ordered to find and follow

the Montana.

Sir.

That's affirmative, Krieg, sir.

Is that what I think it is?

Mr. President.

The Montana just launched a warhead. Our

satellites just picked it up. We're

getting a lock on it now.

Almost there.

Nice.

Okay.

A five-megaton warhead was just

detonated in the middle of the Atlantic

Ocean.

Shut it down.

I can't. They'll kill me. I'm going to

ask one more time.

All right.

Shut it down. Get away from him.

You use that scatter gun, you kill us

both.

Is that what you want? You guys need me.

I'm the only one that can maintain the

reactor.

Go on.

Get out of the way.

Keep moving.

Follow us. Let's go.

Stay back. I mean, where's he going to

go? Just stay back.

Kornick, stay with him. Climb.

Don't move.

Don't you move.

What's all

Doc.

Damn, Doc.

What the hell is going on? Commander

Krieg has lost his mind. He's taken over

the sub.

Have you seen any of our other crew? Uh

no, I ain't seen nobody, but

they know I'm here. Everybody's been

looking for me.

Do you know how far down this crawl

space is running?

Uh yeah, they they run all the way down

to the stern almost. There's two of

them. There's this one and the one

below. That's right. Good. We're going

to need them to get around. What are we

going to do? We're going to take our sub

back. Say what? You heard me.

Come on.

Gerard.

Get me the President on the line.

I want to make sure he saw our show.

Aye, aye, sir.

Commander.

Mr. President.

I hope you now see I am both capable and

willing of using the weapons at my

disposal. I can just as easily detonate

a warhead over a populated area. Krieg,

what is it that you want from us?

Only what I've asked for, Mr. President.

I will send you the instructions for the

wire transfer of $1 billion. Do not

attempt to alter this

Do not attempt to alter this plan in any

way.

That is all.

Clear.

This way.

How bad is it?

You okay?

Come on. On three. One, two, three.

Just take it easy. Take it easy, you'll

be all right.

You all right? Yeah.

Yeah, you got a story for your girl now.

I tell you what.

It didn't hurt, did it? It hurt more

than getting shot. Listen, I want you to

wait here until the bleeding stops.

Where are you going? I'm going to go out

there and raise some hell. See if I can

slow them down a little bit until the

Navy finds us. No, man. You're going to

get yourself killed. You know how to use

one of these, right?

Yeah, of course.

Here.

I'll call you if I need you, right? Good

luck.

You all right?

I'm here. Find him. There's two of them.

One of them went after the reactor.

Couldn't stop them. I want an armed

guard in reactor control room

immediately.

They're already taken care of. Find them

before they screw this up for all of us.

You hear me?

Let's split up. Cover more ground.

Go back to the mess.

Call me if you see anything.

Fine.

Fine.

Sir. Yeah. We've just received another

emergency action message.

More info on the Montana.

We're to continue to plot an intercept

course and pursue. Washington advises

keep them informed.

And await further information.

All right. Well,

we started the stealth exercises Here.

The NATO vessel was destroyed right

about there.

They launched their missile from there.

Now, knowing that they average about 10

knots faster than us, I'd say that we

should start looking for them right

about

there.

It certainly looks like they're headed

for DC.

Piersall.

What do you want? Listen,

I need your help.

All right, man. Where are you? I'm going

to come get you. No, no, no.

Don't worry about that.

Can you get near the communications room

without being seen?

Why?

We're going to reach out and touch

someone.

No, man.

Look, just stay where you're at and

let's let's let the Navy handle this.

Piersall?

What?

We are the Navy.

Doc.

Doc.

Get away.

UN's asking to meet.

I have no idea what to tell them.

You know, there's several prime

ministers who would love to have my head

on a platter. Sir. Huh? Miss McAllister.

Here. Katie, have they briefed you on

what's going on?

Yes, Mr. President. I'm afraid I'm going

to make a bad day even worse for you,

sir.

Take a number.

What do you got? Well, what I have is

quite interesting.

A quick search of Commander Krieg's

apartment gives us plenty to worry

about, sir.

He is your proverbial loose cannon.

Found a journal written by Krieg.

Apparently, he wanted us to find it.

A series of injustices with regard to

his naval career. Also, he is heavily in

debt. He is behind in alimony payments

to his first wife. His second wife just

left him. We're trying to find her as we

speak. And

we found these in his quarters.

What are these? Tylophin, sir. It's a

drug used to shrink tumors.

In particular, brain tumors.

A brain tumor? Yes, sir.

And one of the side effects of tylophin

is psychotic behavior.

Hey. No.

I'm glad you could make it. I couldn't

help myself.

You ready? For what?

Follow me.

Come on.

Get his radio.

Did you see that, man?

That's street

warfare, man. These dudes don't know who

they're messing with, man. Hey,

you're scaring me.

Oh, I'm I'm cool, man. I'm cool.

Watch the hatch. Oh, okay.

First name?

James.

What are you doing?

Where's that going to go? Satellite

picks it up, bounces it over to one of

our ships and they pass it along to

Washington. The president's going to see

my name? If we live through this,

they'll make a movie about us.

I'm up for that.

Who do you think's going to play me?

Denzel?

I was thinking someone more like

Sam Jackson.

Oh, that's cool, too, man. I mean, Sam

Jackson, Denzel, whatever. That's cool.

Let it go.

Do it.

Get away.

Sir.

Somebody just launched a calm buoy from

the communication shack.

Sir.

We picked up the signal from a

communications buoy on our long-range

radar. The entry code matches the

Montana's.

Hold our present course.

Steady she goes.

I eye, sir.

Communications. Con.

Communications. Con.

Teagan.

Teagan is unavailable right now.

Who is this?

Get off my sub. Talk to me. We can work

this out. There's nothing to talk about.

Whoever you are, listen to me.

We will find you.

And when we do, you are a dead man.

Your only chance to survive is to give

yourself up. No, you got it backwards,

Commander.

I'll give you a chance to surrender and

if not, we're going to kill every one of

you.

Okay. If that's how we want to play

this. Gary, you listening to this? I'm

here.

Communication shack, get them.

Rosen. Chang.

Communications now.

Son of a [ __ ]

Very good.

Excuse me, sir. Yeah.

We picked up a signal from a

communications buoy. We're trying to

pinpoint exactly where it was launched

from. We're waiting for the feed now.

I'll keep you posted.

As soon as you know. Yes, sir.

Watch out. WATCH OUT.

LET'S GO. CLEAR OUT.

I'M OUT.

I KNOW.

SO, WHEN THEY GOING TO SEND SOMEBODY to

rescue us?

Wouldn't be thinking in terms of rescue

right now, James.

What?

They find this sub, they'll sink it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let me get this straight.

We've been risking our lives so the Navy

can find us, so they can kill us? That's

about it.

Well, how are they going to write a

movie about me if I'm not there to tell

them what happened? Listen, we got one

chance of coming out of this alive.

That's taking control of this sub. How

are we going to do that?

We shut it down one section at a time

and we pick them off one by one.

No, I I can't do that. I can't. Sure you

can, James. All I know is that when I

got hit, you came out to help me.

You can do this.

So, come on.

Garrett.

We lost them.

Mr. Garrett,

you are a disappointment.

Commander, sonar checks out. That

communications buoy was released from

the Montana itself. By whom? Well,

apparently two of the original crew are

still on board.

Commander, hazard a guess.

Where is she?

All right. Well, we left her

here.

The communications buoy was found right

about there. So, I'd imagine that uh

she's somewhere right around here.

We're here. Yes, sir.

They got the reactor room, Commander.

If you really want to mess with these

guys,

we should go after the electrical

switchboards.

Let's go.

That should mess with him.

Mr. President, sirs, I have more

information on Commander Krieg.

Apparently, he sought private treatment

in order to maintain his position in the

Navy. He has less than a year to live.

Well,

what have you got on the two crew

members still on board the Montana? John

Ellers, the ship's medical officer, and

James Pursell, an electrician's mate.

Ellers is 34 years old, parents unknown,

raised in a series of foster homes until

he graduated from high school. He was

quite a promising young athlete and made

something of a name for himself as an

amateur fighter.

Enlisted in the Navy at age 25, he

received 2 years of advanced training to

qualify as ship's medical officer.

Performance ratings are across the board

excellent. And Pursell? James Pursell,

electrician's mate, qualified in weapons

control. Enlisted in the Navy 2 years

ago, transferred to submarine service 6

months ago.

His service record also exemplary.

Well, let's do whatever we can to help

these two heroes by buying them some

time. Let's proceed as planned. Keep the

Florida tracking the Montana. We know

they're heading towards the East Coast

somewhere, right? Yes, sir. We still

have all vessels on high alert up and

down the coast. Good.

Clear.

Nice.

Cool, yo.

You okay? Yeah.

Well, here's your artillery system for

the boat.

What are we going to do? Let's cause

some chaos.

Uh

where should we start? With the control

room. You got it.

Okay, here we go.

They going to be mad.

Sir, we have total loss of power. Go to

auxiliary. Auxiliary is nonfunctional.

Switch to emergency generator. We should

cross over immediately.

Con, electronics.

How's it going up there, Captain?

You can run, but you can't hide, Mr.

We will find you.

Keep finding us, pretty soon you won't

have a crew. It's only a matter of time.

Trust me.

Switch to auxiliary electrics. Rosen,

report. Find Garrett, get up to the

electric room and find out what the

hell's going on. Aye, aye, sir. Captain,

running off the generator leaves us

crippled.

We won't be able to maintain stealth

mode. We'll be visible on sonar.

And we won't be able to operate our

weapon systems.

Our speed will drop to a crawl.

I'm aware of that, Mr. Gerard, but

nautical sonar, it only has range of 35

miles, and it's a big ocean out there.

Captain, we have a contact bearing 260,

range 12,000 yd. Sonar, ident. Stand by,

sir. Let's hope it's the Montana.

Maybe the stealth went down. Contact

identified as a Russian trawler.

Sorry, sir.

Come on, come on. Where are you?

Go up there, work your way around the

ship, create as much diversion as you

can. I'm going to try and make it back

to the control room.

Wait. So, so you want me to run around

and get shot at? Yeah. I already done

that. Man, do you see this leg? Look,

we've both been shot, but that's nothing

like being dead, which is what we're

both going to be if you don't help me

out here.

Now, come on, get up there. Damn.

I don't like you, man. I know.

She alive?

Yes.

But she's hurt bad.

Get to work. See if you can fix this

mess.

Where's War?

I don't know. He's right behind me.

Did you hear anything?

Oh, son of a [ __ ] I didn't hear a damn

thing. Get to work, find out what's

wrong.

Oh, where are you going?

To find War.

Son of a [ __ ]

Electric, this is the Captain.

This is Rosen, sir. What's the

situation? They cut the wiring to the

control board. It's going to take me a

while to straighten out, sir.

How long? I don't know. A couple hours,

maybe more.

How will this affect the reactor?

Reactor's self-contained, sir, so it's

not a problem, but Until I repair the

wiring, we can't use any power provided

by the reactor.

All right, move as fast as you can,

Rosen. Yes, sir, Captain.

Mr. Gerard.

Yes, sir.

Talk to Electric.

I believe Mr. Rosen requires motivation.

Aye, aye, sir.

Find out where my goddamn money is.

Yes, sir.

Get up there and clear the floor of the

compartment.

Look through there.

Pursell, you there? Is that yours?

No, what was it?

It's not mine. What do we do? Pursell.

Where the hell are you?

It's War. It's come on. Come on.

Excuse me, Mr. President. We just got a

message from Krieg. He wants to know

where his money is.

I was supposed to just wire transfer him

a billion dollars.

It's unbelievable.

All right, I need you to buy us more

time. Just convince him that these

things don't happen instantly. Yes, sir.

Uh any news from the Florida? Still in

pursuit, but no word.

Sir,

our long-range scanner's picking

something up.

It's weak, but it's big and it's moving

southwest.

Could be anything. Stay on course.

Won't be long now.

What's taking so long? What's taking so

long? Look at this mess. And I'm not the

electronics expert she is. Chang, get to

work.

You have an hour.

I'm stepping off the con.

Aye, sir.

Do you have something to say to me, Mr.

Allison?

No, sir.

Commander.

You know, you're beginning to annoy me.

Well, I've decided to let you surface

and get off my sub. I admire your

arrogance, but so far you haven't

accomplished much, have you?

No, but we decreased the surplus

population on the sub. You're running

out of time, Mr.

So are you.

Sir.

We have a fire in the trash room.

Garrett!

Come on! Come on!

Quick!

Quick!

Good job, Piersall.

Rosen. Go down to the Go down to the

make sure it's secure. If need be. With

another man there.

And get down to the missile room.

Double up on security there as well. And

what are we going to do when we run out

of men? Just do as you're told.

I see him! WE'RE GOING AFTER HIM! WHERE?

Give me your location.

Third level, NEAR THE AUXILIARY MACHINE

ROOM.

COME WITH ME.

I need your help, Admiral. Piersall,

come in.

Hear that? Piersall.

I've got him.

Piersall, come in.

Piersall, I've been shot. Come on, he's

hurt.

Let's wrap this up. Where are you?

Where are you?

Piersall, where are you? WHERE ARE YOU?

COME IN. DAMN IT!

SUCKER.

COMMANDER, YOU HAVE THREE LESS MOUTHS TO

FEED. Son of a

[ __ ]

Get off my sub.

Mr. President.

Ah, you found me.

Just trying to get some fresh air.

What's up? I've been talking with the

Joint Chiefs, and the consensus is that

given the capabilities of a nuclear

submarine equipped with stealth

technology,

our chances of tracking him down are

very slim.

So, you think I should give him what he

wants?

As much as it pains me to say so, yes,

sir. We can always track him down later.

Damn it.

Admiral, I just I've been having a hard

time coping with this. For the first

time, I'm truly at a loss.

What do you do when one of your own

turns on you? You blow him out of the

water, sir.

Easy to go, I would have said that

Commander Krieg was one of our own. He

couldn't, he wouldn't have turned on his

country, but he's mad as a hatter, and I

will not set him loose on the rest of

the world. Yes, sir.

I will go on record of supporting your

decision 100%.

I appreciate that, Bob.

More than you know. Yes, sir.

Captain, this is the XO.

Go ahead, XO. Sir, sonar has a contact

at 27 mi. She's going slow.

We think it might be the Montana.

I'll be right there, Commander. Change

course to intercept.

Hold it.

What do we

Going to give it to you. You're good.

You're real good. You better hurry up

and shoot me before I kick your ass

again. What? Go ahead, get it over with.

Uh, what are you doing?

I'm going to take you on a hunt. Don't

be stupid. Come on.

Something to live like a figure.

Having fun?

Come on, hot shot.

Get up.

This is what you guys were afraid of?

On your feet, I'll try to let you get

this one for free.

Say good night, pal.

Good night, pal.

Electric, we're out of time. 10 minutes,

Captain.

10 minutes.

Captain, sonar has a positive ID.

Contact is the Montana. Sound general

quarters, set battle stations. My

orders, set battle stations.

Battle stations, battle stations, all

hands man your battle stations. It's

about damn time.

Garrett.

Come in, Garrett.

Buy me as many minutes as you can,

report back to me. Yes, sir.

As you were.

We got him.

Doc.

Commander Krieg. Captain Krieg.

That'll be all, Mr. Garrett.

So,

where's your partner? I have no idea.

If I don't get my systems back,

I will have failed in my mission.

You failed as soon as you betrayed your

crew. They weren't my crew, Doc.

They belonged to somebody else. You were

one of us.

We trusted you. And I trusted the U.S.

Navy.

The world's a different place now, Doc.

The terrorists are calling the shots, in

case you hadn't noticed.

Anyone with enough firepower can start

their own war.

We're competing on the same field as

savages. This sub can't defend itself

any longer. You're crippled, Commander.

I will not be defeated.

This is my time in history.

I was destined for this.

Destined for what? Extorting money from

the country that trained and supported

you. Doc.

The money is not important. It's a

symbol.

It's a symbol of my superiority.

My mission

has always been to eradicate terrorism.

Every day for the past 20 years, that's

been my mission. And now,

it's my ultimate goal.

Let there be light.

Gerard, Captain.

She's done it.

We're back online. Good work. Report

back to the conn.

You know, I'm glad you're here, Doc.

I want someone who understands the level

of accomplishment here. You will bear

witness

to what I'm about to do. Conn, sonar, we

have a contact bearing 180.

Range 2,200 yd.

Sonar, conn, understood.

Mr. Allison, go to stealth mode. Aye,

sir. Going to stealth.

Stealth in 60 seconds and counting, sir.

Sonar, conn, can you identify the

contact?

It's the Florida.

Major.

At ease.

So, what have we got, gentlemen? Sir,

the Florida has found the Montana and

will engage. I would never have imagined

ordering an American vessel to fire on

one of its own. We have no other option.

I appreciate that, Admiral.

It doesn't make it any easier.

Give me a firing solution. Flood tubes

three and four. Aye aye, sir.

Flood tubes three and four.

20 seconds to stealth, Captain.

There she goes.

You're running out of time, Commander.

They're going to shove a Mark 48 torpedo

right up your ass. We'll see.

10 seconds to stealth.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

We have a firing solution, sir. Very

well.

Fire torpedoes three and four. Aye aye,

sir.

Sir,

we have stealth. Very well, Mr. Alans.

Captain, sonar contact. Torpedoes.

They've launched torpedoes.

Sonar contact range. 1,500 yd and

closing, sir.

Set battle stations. Right full rudder.

20° down bubble. All ahead full. Aye

aye, sir. Right full rudder. 20° down

bubble. All ahead full.

Sonar, estimate time of impact.

Sir, we've lost contact again. They've

gone to stealth, sir. Sonar, estimate

time of impact based on last target

bearing. Sir, time of impact estimated

20 seconds.

Sonar contact. Torpedo range. Range 200

yd and closing. Launch counter counter

measure.

Aye aye, sir.

Ever have that feeling every move you

make is the right one?

You mean like General Custer?

Rig for impact.

Number two torpedo. Range 100 yd.

75 yd.

50 yd.

I think both torpedoes missed, sir.

Evasive action. Hard left rudder. All

ahead full. Sonar,

what do you see? Negative, sir.

She's gone, Captain.

Mr. Gerard, get me a firing solution.

Open torpedo doors one and two. Aye aye,

sir.

We counter attacked and missed.

These men are not ready for a shootout

with a trained crew.

We should use this time to get ourselves

closer to our objectives and further

away from the Florida.

What would you do, Doc? Stand and fight.

High noon. Meet him in the street head

on. See who blinks, Commander.

Change course to 060. All ahead full.

Aye aye, sir. Helmsman, change course to

060. All ahead full. We'll see who

blinks

next time.

Sir,

we're taking on water in the after

torpedo room.

Garrett, get as many men as you can to

the after torpedo room.

Contact Naval Headquarters. Tell them

anyone comes within 5 mi of us,

we will launch.

Aye aye, sir.

Scared, Commander?

Tremble and shake.

Lock this man up.

Get your ass out of here.

Move.

Romano, Chang, meet me at the torpedo

room. Now.

That's good. Right here.

You killed a couple of friends of mine.

They didn't leave me much choice.

Neither will I.

Feel a headache coming on?

Put it down, fool.

I don't like you.

Doc.

Come on, man.

Oof.

What's the plan, Doc?

Shoot everybody that's not me.

Mr. President,

the Florida failed in its attempt to

destroy Montana, sir. And Krieg said if

anybody else comes near him, he'll

launch.

What do you suggest, Admiral? I think we

should recall all forces except the

Florida, sir.

I believe one vessel might be able to

strike at the Montana without being

detected.

I agree.

But let's give ourselves some breathing

room here. Contact Commander Krieg.

Tell him we'll transfer the money within

the hour. Mr. President, trust me.

Sir,

message from Washington.

We continue our pursuit of Montana. All

other forces are

standing down.

It's just us, then.

Yeah.

Let's find them.

Kill them.

See who it is.

It's me, Dugan.

Piersall, you know how to work this?

What? How do you work this? I need to

shut it down now.

Come on.

Try the off switch. Come on, show me.

It's pretty easy to turn off, but

it'll probably take about 4 hours to

reboot.

Do it.

You got to be kidding me.

Come on.

Sir, we've lost the reactor.

Auxiliary power is crossing over.

Garrett.

This is Garrett. We're taking on a lot

of water here, Captain. We lost the

reactor. Get up there and find out

what's wrong.

I'm on my way.

Get this fixed.

I'll be back.

Captain,

I think it's time we started to consider

some alternatives.

Surrender is not an option, Mr. Alans.

Captain,

the diesel engines will keep us moving

forward, but at a much slower rate of

speed, but

more importantly, we can't go into

stealth mode without the reactor.

And the Florida is close by.

We can still defend ourselves. Not

without the torpedo room.

Contact Naval Headquarters.

We're moving the deadline up.

Aye aye, sir.

Tell them we're doing

Tell them we're doing

We're moving the deadline up.

Got it?

Come here.

Can you make it, Piersall? Do I have a

choice?

No.

Get your weapon. Come on.

Conn, reactor room.

This is the Captain. They've been here

and shut down the reactor.

And they killed three of my men. What?

It will take hours to have it running

again.

Conn, torpedo room.

Stand by.

Captain, WE'RE STILL TAKING ON WATER

DOWN HERE.

Can you fix it? I don't know, sir.

It doesn't look good.

How many are there with you?

I got three down here.

Okay, pick one, get back here and seal

off the torpedo room.

Sir,

you can't seal this department. These

people might not get out of here alive.

It will serve as incentive. That is all.

Aye aye, sir.

Chang,

come on.

Captain,

Washington has agreed to your demands.

I'll send instructions as to how we want

this done.

Mr. President, there's a communication

patch for you from the Montana. It's

Krieg.

Put him on.

This is President Taylor. Thank you for

taking my call, Mr. President. I can't

help but feel

flattered. What can I do for you, Krieg?

I am still in charge of this naval

submarine, and you will address me as

such.

And I'm still President of the United

States. So, let's get to the point,

shall we, Krieg?

A man was elected for a reason.

I understand you're willing to meet my

demands. If you mean pay your extortion,

then yes, we are.

It's very kind of you, Mr. President.

Thank you very much. I feel I owe you

this.

I want you to know why I'm doing this.

At first, I was a little angry about

being passed over time and time and

time again for command of my own sub.

Something I richly deserve.

Hell, I was going to be the best captain

in the US Navy.

I wanted the stature,

the respect.

But that didn't happen.

But now, Mr. President,

I am very, very angry. Angry about what?

Your policies. Your predecessor's

policies. They're all the same.

Negotiating with terrorists when you

should be eradicating

Krieg. Mr. President,

people will want to know what happened

here. They'll want to know what went

wrong.

They'll blame me, of course.

By now, you know that I'm dying.

And knowing that, you know that for me,

it was never about the money.

It was always about saving our great

country. It was always

about saving America. Saving America?

Somebody's got to. You're sure it's him

not doing it?

That is all.

People will want to know what happened

here.

Falls to you, Mr. Allanson, and you, Mr.

Gerard, to make it clear.

Aye, sir. Aye, sir.

Mr. Allanson,

take these keys going to launch control.

Be ready. Sir.

We got what we wanted. They're sending

us the money. I gave you an order, Mr.

Allanson.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Gerard,

stand by.

Prepare to launch.

Yes, sir.

Sir, we have sonar contact bearing 309,

range just over 5 miles. Can you

identify? Yes, sir.

The Montana. He's not running stealth.

Set battle stations. Battle stations,

battle stations. All hands, man your

battle stations.

Mr. Allanson.

Sir, firing order will be missiles 6,

9,

11,

15, 18,

and 21.

Aye, sir. Firing orders 6,

9,

11, 15, 18,

and 21.

Target packages are as follows:

Washington, D.C.

Pyongyang, North Korea.

And Tehran, Iran.

Sir, I'm entering target packages

Washington, D.C.

Tehran, Iran.

Pyongyang, North Korea.

I hear doubting in your voice, Mr.

Allanson.

Sir, I'm just a little confused. Our

objective was to ransom the city of

Washington, D.C.

Nothing's changed, Allanson.

If we get what we want, all is well. If,

however, we are deceived,

I will indulge myself in a bit of mass

destruction.

My god.

Mr. Garrett. Here. Report to the conn

ASAP.

On my way. Sonar range. Sir, target

bearing 320, range 5 miles and closing.

Commander Michaels,

I need a firing solution. Aye, aye, sir.

Loading target 6.

Man,

when this is over,

I'm going to kick your ass, man. You can

do that.

Captain. Conn, sonar.

Stand by, Mr. Garrett.

This is the captain. Sir, I have a

contact bearing 285, range 3 miles, sir.

Identify contact. Sir, it's a sub.

Sound patterns match the Florida.

Mr. Allanson. Captain.

Begin launch sequence.

Captain, there is still time. I gave you

an order. Captain. They will destroy us

if the sonar shows we're not preparing

to launch. Do you understand? Open those

launch tubes now.

Sir.

Beginning launch sequence.

Mr. Gerard, send a message to the

Florida. Tell them if they do not stand

down, we will launch missiles. Aye, aye,

sir.

Oh my god.

Sonar launch.

Sonar range. Sir, 4 miles. Commander, I

want that firing solution. I want it

now. I'm working on it, sir. Message

from the Montana, sir.

Unless you stand down, we will launch.

Flood torpedo tubes 1 and 2. Aye, aye,

sir.

Commander Brickman to the president.

And we're doing everything we can. Put

the Florida on the line, sir. I'll have

to call you back.

Put him on.

Go ahead, Captain. Mr. President.

We've located the Montana. We're ready

to fire torpedoes. They're threatening

to launch unless we stand down.

Sir,

I need to know what you want us to do.

Captain Richards, Krieg is out of his

mind and he's going to launch no matter

what. So, fire when you're in range,

Captain.

Yes, sir.

Launch tubes are open.

Wait here.

Clear.

You post up here. Anyone comes through,

you tag them.

Doc,

when they do the movie,

are we going to die at the end?

You crazy?

No one kills Denzel Washington.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

It's Denzel, man.

People ain't going to stand for that,

right?

Sonar range. 3 miles and closing, sir.

Allanson, how soon to launch? Sir,

if we continue, there is no way that we

can Mr. Allanson. How soon to launch?

3 minutes, sir.

Initiate launch.

Fire missiles 6, 9, 11, 15, 18, and 21.

Sir, confirm missiles 6,

9, 11, 15, 18, and 21. Mr. Gerard. Sir.

Engage.

GERARD!

OUT OF BULLETS, DOC.

I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL, DOC.

OH, NO.

CAPTAIN, missile launch from the

Montana.

Fire one. Fire one.

Fire two. Fire two.

Estimated time to impact. 1 minute and

counting, sir.

I need the code, Pearsall.

I need the code book.

Come on. Got it. Got it.

4 Hotel Foxtrot 7 3 Kilo Lima Romeo 1

Delta Quebec 9 2 Bravo Alpha.

Woo! Dive!

Doc, we got torpedoes approaching 500 yd

away. Oh, you got to be kidding me.

Okay, take the helm. Crash dive. Take

her down as steep as she'll go.

Launching all counter measures.

This is the USS Montana. Launch aborted.

Sub is secured. Commander Krieg is dead.

Repeat, sub is secured, launch aborted.

Bring her up nice and easy.

10 degree up bubble.

Steady as she goes.

Blowing ballast.

I can reach you there. I'll be here till

this is over, General.

I appreciate your concern. Absolutely,

Mr. President. All right, we'll talk

later.

The Montana has been secured, sir.

Oh, thank god. And the two crew members

that were aboard? Alive and well.

Well, when they reach land, you just you

bring them to me, all right? Will do.

Admiral Butler.

Yes, sir.

Good work.

And you, sir.

Damn good work, if I may say so.

Ready to get off this sub?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

All right.

Oh.

I'm in it.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Doc.
