That's okay now.

Hello?

We've been hearing
about nuclear submarines

in Canadian waters
for the last two years.

A lot of the fishermen have seen them.

Yesterday, Gabe Nelson took these shots.

That's the conning tower of
an American Skipjack-class

nuclear submarine. It's at the base

maybe for refitting or
supplies. This is our chance.

- Chance for what?
- I cowboy up there,

chain myself to it.

News cameras come, then no
one can deny that this is

a violation of Canadian sovereignty

with the complicity
of the Canadian Navy.

As I understand it,

there is no violation unless
they're carrying nuclear weapons.

Oh, it's coming in heavy, guaranteed.

You have no way of knowing
whether or not it's armed.

Besides, this is not
what the committee does.

Okay, totally fair. I don't
expect anyone to come with me,

but I gotta honour my
conscience on this one.

Let's say you get into the base,

what's to stop them from,
I don't know, shooting you?

I don't know, my totally awesome

righteous karma, that's what.
Don't worry, I got a plan.

Well, there's no way
you're going there alone.

We'll have to go in at night.

We'll need the media standing
by, can you set that up?

- (SANDRO): Yes, of course!
- Okay!

Coming from the north,
there's less chance they'll

see us coming. We should put
in at the old dry dock here

and make our way up
the channel open water.

Deputy Minister Grantham's wife

called me this morning.
"Does that woman on the news

with all those drug-crazed
hippies have any relation

to the doctor Howard
who works for Browning?"

That's what she asked me. What
do you suppose I said to her?

- You know what?
- I thought

you were gonna say she
called to congratulate you.

- For what?
- This.

European Journal of
Computational Physics.

Page 24, article on particle gliders.

It describes the leading work
done in France and Great Britain

and the difficulties they've
had with ion contamination.

Lois Grantham does not read
the European Journal

- of Computational Physics.
- Well, maybe not,

but it's been in the news:

the medical applications
of laser technology?

The thing is Dr. Howard
solved it, the thing

they can't figure out. When
Dr. Howard's paper comes out

- it'll be on the cover.
- Well, hardly...

- Are you working on this paper?
- I mean, currently?

Oh yeah. It's what? Like half
done? Slightly less maybe?

- Less.
- Slightly.

(SIGH)

Oh, Dr. Howard, you've got
that call in five minutes.

- Yes. Excuse us, please.
- Sorry.

Yes, alright.

Thank you. If he said
three more words, I...

I know, and then we both
would have been out of work.

(WOMAN ON TV): Locals came
out in force to support

the American deserter
and his pregnant wife.

Somehow, in all the fun and confusion,

the fugitives slipped away. Police
had no comment when asked.

Do you know where they are now?

No idea.

You realize that when
you screw up, it reflects

badly on me, right? Because I have

to explain to people
much smarter than you

why we can't seem to do
anything right around here?!

Sorry about that, boss.

When did you talk to Travis?

This morning, on the trail.

Why didn't he just come to the cabin?

He said I have to go without you.

If you're going, I'm going.

Look, Ralph, it's different for me.

So, we got an anonymous
tip, and then we found them

about to launch a boat. They
had a banner with them that said,

"No nuke subs in Canada" and a gun.

- A gun?
- Yeah, well, a flare gun.

So, you arrested them

for trying to launch
a boat while carrying

a marine safety flare gun
and thinking about committing

- a crime. Is that it?
- Well, I... I thought...

If thinking is a crime, at least
you'll never get arrested for it.

The chief wanted them brought
in, what am I supposed to do?

Going out to protest the presence

of an armed nuclear submarine in
Canadian waters is not a crime.

We don't have armed nuclear
submarines in Canada.

Yes, we do! There's an American

skipjack-class nuclear submarine sitting

at the marine base right
now, and it's against the law

for it to be in Canadian waters.
You should be investigating that.

It's been a really busy night,

so we don't actually have time
to arrest a nuclear submarine.

But thank you for the tip.

You have no right to keep us here.

No argument from me on that.

You're free to go.

I'd like to know how
you knew where we were

- launching the boat.

That is a really great question.

He went to park the van, and
