01x07 - East of Zanzibar

[bunniefuu]

Thirty meters beneath the keel,
captain.

-Planes up to five degrees.
-Five degrees it is, sir.

-Captain.
-Go ahead, sonar.

-I've got something.
It's big and it's close.

-Establish contact.
Thirty seconds.

All stations, full ready.

No response, sir.

It's moving out
from behind the ridge.

Object is dead ahead
and closing.

Collision in three minutes.

Ready torpedoes.

Sonar, attempt contact again.
Twenty seconds.

It's moving right at us, sir.
Two hundred meters.

A hundred and fifty meters.

-Fire one.
-Aye, sir.

Report.

It's gone.
A direct hit, captain.

It's alive.
I can hear a heartbeat.

-Is it a whale?
-No, sir.

-Then what is it, man?
-I'm not sure, captain.

It's like nothing I've ever
heard before.

Engines to full power.
Planes to 45 degrees up.

-Aye, sir.
-Lining up at 45 degrees.

Hold intercept course.

Negotiated 16-35
for a full turn.

The sub's going down.

Blow main ballast.

-The valve is jammed, sir.
-Impossible.

Damage control report.

Water seeping in
around the fore hatch, sir.

-Main switchboard's blown, sir.

-Propeller shaft gland leaking,
sir.

Rise, oh, love, rise.

Nine meters beneath the keel.
We're sinking.

Blow all ballast.
Blow everything.

We're being towed under.

Hurry. Hurry, come on.

Seal the hatch. Quickly. Now.

We're going to die.

-How are you doing, jonny?
-We made good time, dad.

We may even make the island
before sunset,

Even though the port's
way over on the other side.

You know, your watch ended
an hour ago.

Hadji or race will take over
if you're tired.

Are you kidding?

I wouldn't give this up
for anything.

I'm living a dream, dad.

Searching for
a lost submarine

In an area where there have been
reports of monsters

For as long as man
has sailed the oceans.

I believe you're right, jonny,
we are living a dream.

Whale on the surface.

Right, free the rigs. Ready.

Engine to full stop.

Half astern.

-Full ahead.
-Maintain direction.

-Straight ahead.
-Chin low. Fire.

No strike. No strike.

Maintain. Maintain.

She blows again.
Straight ahead.

Fire.

Emergency station.

All hands on deck.

All hands on deck.

Engines to full power ahead.

Don't tell me I'm crazy.

Were you there? Did you see it?

No, but I was there.

I was there. I saw it.

A monster. A giant sea monster.

There's nothing else you can
tell us? No description?

No idea what might have
attacked the donder?

What else is to tell?
It was a monster.

Hard to imagine a sea monster
powerful enough to sink a ship.

If you ask me, those whalers
got what they deserved.

Anyone who'd k*ll a whale
is no better than a m*rder*r.

I don't care who or what got
that boat. I'm glad.

If every scientist
let his feelings

Get in the way of his work,
jonny,

Science would never advance.

Some lead with the heart
and others with the mind.

Greater progress, however,
comes with the unity of both.

It'll be dark
in a couple of hours.

Please don't stay out too long.

Don't worry so much, pop.

We'll just take a turn
around the reef, dr. Quest.

Come on, cast off, dad.

Let's go.

Nice night for a sail.

Man, I wish I was a kid again,
benton.

I thought you were, race.

I hadn't realized
you'd ever grown up.

Thanks.

You think we can make it

Around the island before dark?

We can try.

You know, hadji,
I hope we never find out

What happened to the whaler.

Your father will never give up.

It is not in his character
to do so.

I know that, but if we do find
whatever attacked the donder,

Every wacko in the world
will come looking for it.

Hey, let's sh**t for the gap
in the reef.

-Race.
-What's the problem?

Is that what I think it is?

A twister. Where are the boys?

The other side of the reef.

I lost sight of them
a while back.

-I'll get the outboard.
-No.

If that twister hits
jonny and hadji,

The outboard will be as much use
as a chocolate fire screen.

Come on.

Questor may be slower
than the outboard,

But when those seas kick up,

We'll need all the boat
we can get.

Call the harbor master.

Tell him to get everything
that float out there

Looking for that cat.

Drop the jib, jonny.

Hadji, hold on.

We simply have no specialized
facilities

For search and rescue,
dr. Quest.

If it's a matter of money,
harbor master...

No, sir. Every fisherman on the
island knows your predicament.

Every available boat is
out looking.

What about airplanes?

I don't need to tell you,
mr. Bannon,

The costs of air sear...

Hang the cost.

But even with unlimited funds,

It will take several days
to get aircraft here.

Several days without water,
dr. Quest.

Even if the boys are alive
now....

I'm sorry, but we are doing
everything we can.

Come on, benton.

Let's take the questor out
again.

Keep looking.
It's all we can do.

Hadji.

Questor, come in, questor.

Questor receiving, over.

This is harbor master javan,
dr. Quest.

A fisherman on garcia amirante
has found something.

They found the boys?

No, sir, but I think
you should get there

Quickly as possible,
dr. Quest.

How long can we keep paddling?

Easier paths have led
to darker places.

What kind of answer is that?

We're in the middle
of the indian ocean

Paddling vaguely westward

In the hope we might hit africa.

What kind of answer do you want,
jonny?

We can only keep going
as long as we can keep going.

That's not the answer
I was hoping for, hadji.

Here.
At least this might give you

Some protection from the sun.

Thanks.

-Hadji?
-What is it?

Maybe I'm seeing things,
but are those palm trees?

Either that or a mirage.

There's only one way
to find out.

It's not possible.
It just ain't possible.

A giant squid
several hundred feet long.

It's a squid all right.

Any squid large enough
to own a tentacle this size

Must be at least 300
feet long.

And we can't even be certain
that it's an adult.

We've got to find those boys
right away.

That's no mirage, jonny.

And if it has trees,
it must have water, right?

Right.

Come on, let's find that water.

-I cannot believe my eyes.
-That's impossible.

There's no way those ships got
there by themselves, hadj.

I imagine that they did have
some assistance.

Let's check it out.

Exactly what is it
you hope to find, jonny?

If anyone's out there,

They might help us get back
to dad and race.

One plane. It's too little,
too late, race.

They'll have more tomorrow,
benton.

We'll keep that crate in the air
every minute there's light.

If jonny and hadji are out
there, we'll find them.

This is too strange for school,
hadji.

At least we're still alive.

The question is,
how long can we stay alive?

Take them below.

That's how we got here,
captain havel.

A perfectly ordinary
explanation,

You must admit, sir.

But what we don't understand

Is how you got here.

Two years ago,
our submarine was sinking.

We can't.

I can't close it!

Please.

We're going to die.

Control yourself, man.

No one is going to die.

The truth is,
we were going to die,

But fate had something else
in store.

What's happening?

We're heading to the surface.

-Depth beneath the keel?
-Thirty meters, sir.

Blow main ballast.

-But sir, we can't...
-Try it, planesman.

What's to lose?

Ninety-five meters
beneath the keel.

We made it. We made it.

Very well done.

From that moment,
I and my crew had a new mission.

We would repay the whales
for saving our lives.

So that crazy harpooner
wasn't crazy after all.

The sea monster that attacked
the whaler, that was you?

And the whaler's crew, captain?
What did you do with them?

We gave them the same chance
they gave the whales.

-You what?
-Think of it as an execution.

I know he's crazy, hadji,

But I kind of sympathize
with the captain.

If a bunch of whales saved you,
wouldn't you wanna help them?

I've been thinking
about something else altogether.

Why did captain havel
tell us everything?

Why?

Either because he's never going

To let us off this submarine
or....

I know they're out there
somewhere.

Jonny's a survivor.

Wherever they are,
they'll make it.

I feel entirely powerless, race.

While we're in the air
searching,

At least we're doing something.

And we'll be out again
at first light, benton.

Meanwhile, all we can do is

Leave the emergency channels
open.

Hadji, hadji. Hadji.

Captain. Captain havel.

Help. Come on, come down here.

-What's going on?
-Captain havel.

Hadji's not breathing. Oh, no.
I heard him cry out.

I asked him what the matter was,
but he wouldn't answer.

Get the medical officer. Now!

I can't find the boy's pulse.

I can't hear a heartbeat,
captain havel,

But there's something
very strange here.

Questor. Questor.
Jonny quest calling questor.

-Dad, race.
-Jonny?

I have never experienced
anything like this before.

I hear a heartbeat,
then nothing.

Then a heartbeat,
then nothing.

A reflex action.

Then he's alive.
Where's the other boy?

What?

That's our zodiac.

The boy has our tender.
We must stop him.

-Come on. After him.
-Move it.

Let's go, hurry. Come on.

There he is.

He's coming back.

Jonny.

-My weapon.
-Aye, sir.

Jump, hadji, jump.

Keep down. Keep your head down.

You can't let them get away,
sir.

Where will they go?

We have the most sophisticated

Sonar and radar in the world.

We can track them anywhere.
They cannot hide from us.

Prepare to put to sea.

I want all systems
up and running in three minutes.

Aye, sir.

Near as I can trace it
from the radio signal,

They were bearing
between 240 and 253 degrees.

That's it, jonny.
The tank is as dry as a bone.

Hey, listen.

A plane.

There.

Here. We're over here. Help.

There, race, a distress flare.
Do you see it?

I sure do, benton.
And look, there they are.

Hang on, I'm throttling down.

Jonny, hadji.
You boys all right?

I did it, dr. Quest.

That stuff he's been studying
paid off.

I slowed my heart
into a trance.

-They thought he was dead.
-Hold up. Slow down.

Who thought you were dead?

What the...?

Let's get our tails out of here.

Jonny, hadji, hurry up.

Move it, benton.
Move it, move it.

Saved from a renegade submarine
by a giant squid.

Who'd ever believe that story?

If we don't tell anyone,
no one will have to believe us.

I think that's the right
decision, jonny.

I'd hate to see the creature
which saved us

Dragged out from its home

And cut to pieces
in the name of science.

We will simply seal the files
on this one.

I feel kind of sorry
for captain havel and his crew.

They were only returning a favor
to the whales.

I would not worry about captain
havel, jonny.

I have the feeling
he's a survivor.

Whale on the surface. She blows.
