01x01 - Something Bad

[bunniefuu]

Tango, Echo,
Echo, Foxtrot, Zulu

Tango, Echo, Echo,
Foxtrot, Zulu.

Authenticity confirmed.
Pressurize all tubes.

Pressurize all
tubes. Aye-aye, sir.

Set condition to 1SQ for
WSRT. Prepare to launch.

Man battle stations
m*ssile, 1SQ at DEFCON 1.

This is WSRT.

Spin up all missiles.
Spinning up all missiles.

Aye-aye, sir.

Second key.

Ready to launch on your command.

It's better.

m*ssile launch
training exercise over.

Go about your business.

You just don't have
the touch, Middlebrook.

It's not a joke.

We have one collective
job on this ship,

and we collectively
failed to do it yesterday.

Why are we running
weapons drills anyway?

We're in the Gulf of Mexico.

Yeah, I mean, I can basically
see my house from here.

It's none of your concern.

Captain gives the order
to launch, we launch.

If you can't do that,
you don't deserve

those dolphins on your chest.

You got it? Aye-aye, sir.

Attention. Nub, report
to the radio shack.

All shower techs to sonar.

Part, report to main
berthing immediately.

You seen Pierce?

Ah, electric room, maybe?

Hey, heard you got a kid now.

Want me to show you how to
make Mickey Mouse pancakes?

Real funny.

Anything?

No, man, it's quiet
like a wh*re in church.

What the f*ck?

I don't know, either, man.

Oliver.

At ease.

We ran it twice this morning.
Won't happen again, sir.

Last week we discussed you
going in XO training next leg,

running a ship of your own.

That's what you want, isn't it?

Yes, sir. More than anything.

Well, based on your performance
yesterday, frankly, I'm concerned.

You remind me of
myself at your age...

Coming up the ranks,
new family back home.

Thank you, sir.

I'll tell you what
my skipper told me.

He said, "Do what needs doing."

That means making the tough
calls no one wants to make,

no matter what's
going on around you

or back on land.

Is that him? Your son.

That what happened yesterday?

You get distracted
thinking about them?

If I'm honest, sir,

I've never seen myself
as much of a family man.

It's important to have someone
back home waiting for you.

Helps you remember
what we do it for.

I don't know if I'm cut out
for it... you know, fatherhood.

You'll feel different once
he's smiling up at you.

The simplest things,

like a dangling key... magic.

When they're little,
they just love you.

They don't know any better.

Speak freely.

With Friedman laid up,
no word from Command,

why run a drill?

If an order comes
down, it won't be when

we're sitting around
drinking hot cocoa.

We have to be ready.

Even if we're on our back foot,

I need to know

when I give the order,
you'll turn the key

and do what needs doing.

Without hesitation, sir.

It's Friedman, sir.

He's taken a turn for the worse.

Where's that medevac?
Still no response.

Well, keep trying them, damn it.

There's no time. They're
prepping the mess now.

Park's never done
an appendectomy.

He says he's reading up on it.

Reading up?

We're not the sea
dragon in enemy waters.

It's peacetime in the
Gulf of g*dd*mn Mexico.

I can't see it,
there's so much pus.

More suction.

Here. I need to clamp it off.

Irrigation.

He's waking up. The
fentanyl's wearing off.

Hey, hey. Calm down,
Friedman. Gonna be okay.

He's going into shock.

Bag.

One, two, three, four.

Come on.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Come on.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

He went septic and by the
time I got there, it was

it was too late.

You did the best you could.

We don't have those
antibiotics on board.

Where was the medevac? Where...

Look, we've been
asking the same thing.

This isn't the Middle Ages.

People don't die of
appendicitis anymore.

Why don't you go get cleaned up?

Yeah.

You know the skipper
was looking for you?

He come down on you
about yesterday?

Yeah, he thinks I'm all hung
up on some kid I never met.

sh*t. I mean, you begged
to be on this tour.

I'm hung up on why we
were pulled off a NATO run

and sent to the Gulf
of g*dd*mn Mexico.

Yeah, and we ain't
heard sh*t since.

Something's happening out there.

We don't know anything about it.

Now this.

A man's dead. And
something's going on.

Something bad.

He had kids, too.
Kindergarten age.



and they can't pick
up the g*dd*mn phone?

We had everything
we got out there...

ELF, VLF, Cold w*r lines.

And we ain't heard diddly.

Then not even a half hour ago,

SE2 picked up something.

What? Yeah.

It was incomplete.

What do you mean, incomplete?

I mean like they hit send

without finishing
the damn thing.

First word from Command in
two weeks is a half-baked EAM?

Yeah, but that ain't all.

That was picked up by FM
broadcasts out of Houston.

Y'all get this...
Army's been deployed.

Not the National
Guard? No, sir. Army.

Something about
medical incidents.

The Army is deployed
on U.S. soil

at the same time, we
get a partial EAM?

That cannot be a coincidence.

I have a sister
lives in Houston.

Yeah? Well, Riley's got a son
he ain't never laid eyes on.

If it was me and I was
this goes to shore,

I'd sure enough be thinking
about going for a swim.

You'd abandon ship? Your duties?

I mean, we all know our duties.

Nobody's abandoning anything.

Speaking of duties,
I don't know, Riley.

I can't see you changing diapers
in a Chili's bathroom, you know?

Yeah, you and me both.

Yeah, well, just the same,

he brought a little
man into this world.

What about his duty
to protect him?

Or protect his mother?

There will be plenty
of diapers to change

when our leg is up
in six weeks, okay?

I never knew my dad.
I turned out fine.

Y'all a miserable
son of a b*tch.

Not 'cause I didn't know my dad.

It's 'cause I'm stuck in a
metal tube with you pussies.

You know, I just... I try not
to think about him, you know.

I mean, what can I do from here?

Attention, attention.

Ice cream sundaes in the mess.

It's melting fast,
so come and get it.

That is all.

We should go.

I'll be good for them
to see us all there.

Try not to act so excited.

The only reason
we're getting this

is 'cause they need
room in the freezer.

Look, man, if it
were me in there,

I hope that you would enjoy it.

If it were you in
there, I would.

- Captain on deck.
- As you were.

Friedman was a good
sailor and a proud father.

He made the ultimate
sacrifice for our country,

which is all the more reason
we can't let up on our mission.

Not for a second.

That dolphin on your chest
represents your fortitude

to keep calm and
do what needs doing

under any circumstances,

even the death of
one of your own.

It's what you signed up for.

Friedman. What the...?

I can think of no
greater honor...

Get him off! Get him off me!

He's still alive!

Aah!

No!

Aaah! Aah!

Look out! He's down! He's down!

Thanks.

- He shot him!
- Clear quarters, clear quarters.

Park. You all right?

Yeah.

Good. Get yourself bandaged up,

then tend to the
rest of the men.

Aye-aye, sir.

Aye-aye, sir.

He wasn't dead?

He is now.

Hey, this one's complete.

Weapons ready.
Coordinates to follow.

Yeah, yeah. What's the target?

It's not... You don't think?

First they send us here, then
the Army deploys. Who else?

What the hell is
going on out there?

What's going on in here?
Did you see Friedman?

Wh-What was that?

I don't know. It's like a...

It's like a rabid dog
or something, right?

Did you tell the captain?
I'm on my way up there now.

Is he sleepwalking?

You all right, sir?

Oh. Damn, boy. Hey. You gonna...

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Don't get too close.

Whoa, sh*t.

Are you all right?

Oh, damn!

Hey, why is he biting at us?

Friedman bit him.
Bit him on the arm.

Well, who the hell bit Friedman?

I don't f*cking know!

How do we stop him?
Shot to the head.

A shot to the head
worked before.

Just do what needs doing.

I guess that works, too.

I just k*lled the XO.

Hey. Hey.

That wasn't our XO.

You did what you had
to do, all right?

Yeah.

All right, go find the captain.

Meet me in the weapons room.

Be careful. You too, brother.

They're attracted to sound.

Park?

No.

Park, g*dd*mn it.

Don't make me do this. Please.

Sorry.

- They're right behind us. Go!
- Go where?!

Get your... move!

Hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Come in here. Come on.

Great. Now we're
trapped in here.

They're eating each
other! What the f*ck?

Shut up, Winokur! You
want them all to hear you?

Go easy on him. The
kid's scared enough.

We weren't trained for this.

You were trying to be calm
under pressure, right?

Get it together.

Am I gonna turn
into one of them?

Were you bit?

I don't think so. Then no.

Either one of you does, I'll
put a b*llet in your head.

You don't think this is
happening on land, do you?

I don't know. Maybe.

Jesus Christ. Our families.

Just try not to think
about them, okay?

Th-There's nothing
we can do for them.

No, man. This was an attack.

Someone must have
slipped past the HVAC

and slipped something in there,
a nerve agent or some sh*t.

We're all breathing
the same air.

So? So then why aren't
we all infected then?

And how do you know we're not?

EAM came through.

The protocol was...
Protocol went out the window

when I had to sh**t
my TAO in the head.

It's every man for himself.

Hey, you want to be a coward?

I want to live,
you son of a b*tch.

Just because you don't care
about seeing your family again

doesn't mean the rest of us...

We're not gonna get
out of here alive

if we're fighting each other.

I have to get to
the weapons room.

I'm not gonna make it alone.

All right.

Here. Penetrate the skull.

It's the only way to stop them.

Okay?

These guys are like my family.

Not anymore.

Aim for the eyes.

At least give us the g*n.

Hell no. The g*n
stays here with me.

Fine.

All right. You ready?

Aye-aye, sir.

All right.

Let's go.

Go quick. We stay together.

Remember, aim for the eyes.

Watch out!

What the f*ck?!

He got bit. He
would have turned.

Get out of the way!

Let's go, ladies.

The weapons rooms at the
end of the passageway.

Man in distance: Get
off! A a a ah! Aah!

There's no way.
There's no f*cking way.

They're drawn to noise.

Do not fire unless
you absolutely must.

Alvarez?

Aah!

What happened? What did you do?!

I thought... oh, God.

Oh, God. I... I can't.

I can't do this. I can't
do this. I can't do this.

We have to go now!

No! No!

Do not open that door!

Get up. We gotta run.

Go! Go!

- All right.
- Wasn't sure you made it.

Told you it wouldn't
be hot cocoa. This way.

Show me your arms.

Do it now.

No one's been bit, sir.

I already k*lled
six of my own men.

Sir, it wasn't them.

Alvarez, Winokur, Farley, Voss.

XO, too. Park.

Well, at least we know why
they took us off the NATO run.

And didn't send the medevac.

The world must be in chaos.
We're all that's left.

Sir. That... That can't be.

We got plans in place
for this sort of thing.

There are 100 men out there
trying to eat each other alive.

That doesn't matter...
It matters to me!

We have orders.

For all we know, this
m*ssile could stop it.

Riley's right.

Firing that m*ssile's
all that matters now.

Incoming.

Message is authentic.

I concur.

I concur.

Chicago. That's the target.

Prepare to launch.

Did you hear me, Lieutenant?

I said prepare to launch.

Are you sure about this, sir?

What did I say about
questioning orders?

We'll be firing on
our own country.

Command wouldn't have
sent these coordinates

if they didn't have
a damn good reason.

Hey, like you said, maybe
this stops it somehow.

We have an incredible
responsibility.

It's an unenviable task,
but one we must do.

Our own people. That's
never been done before.

I don't need a history lesson!

For all we know, someone
could have gone rogue.

We both know that's impossible.

We don't know what's
possible anymore.

Whatever's happening
on this boat

is probably
happening in Chicago,

and these missiles can stop it.

We have orders.

And by God, we're
gonna follow them.

Orders to wipe out
an entire city?

Who do you think you are?

There's a chain of command, son.

You're at the bottom of it.

Get that key out.

That's an order.

That's an order!

No.

I won't do it.

You're refusing orders?

I joined up to keep
this country safe.

Not to destroy it.

You swore an oath.

Not to do this.

Those nukes are
meant to deter...

We knew this day
could come and...

You okay, sir?

You want to keep
your family safe?

This is how we do it.

I fire this weapon,
I'm k*lling my own son.

More than likely
they're already dead.

I think you know
that. No, I don't.

We don't know
that. Not for sure.

This morning you told me you
didn't even want to be a father.

That doesn't mean I'm not gonna
die trying to protect him.

You said yourself, we
need people on land...

You think I'm not
worried about my family?

Of course I am.

But our country's at stake.

Our country's counting on us.

I'm not turning this key.

It takes two men to
launch a m*ssile.

You don't have to
be one of them.

Pierce, take the key.

No, sir.

I won't.

Ginger.

I will not fire
on my own country.

This is mutiny.

I'll have you all
court-martialed for this.

It's Nuremberg.

The fellest befell.

These superior orders are cruel.

They're w*r crimes.

Whoa, whoa. You okay?

Sir, you...

I know, damn it.

Tell them I went
down with the ship.

I'm sorry, sir.

Hot cocoa, right?

I hope you boys are
right about this.

What are you gonna do?

What needs doing.

May God have mercy on us all.

So what do we do now?

We get the f*ck out of here.

This is Lieutenant Jason Riley.

Captain is dead.

We have a new mission...
Get this ship topside.

Go home.

You still feel like
going for that swim?

Thought you'd never ask.

You know, this morning I
wanted to be a captain.

And now I don't give a
sh*t about any of that.

I just want to hold
my boy, you know?

Just once.

Yeah...

Here's what I could find.

Better than nothing.

All right, I'll go first.

Aye-aye, Captain.

Riley?

Riley, are you there?

Who's this? It's Walter.

Bunch of us made it to the
bridge, but now we're stuck.

Too many of those wobbly
b*stards out there.

Hey, Walter,

you ever pull a chicken switch?

Oh, y'all better hold on tight.

Emergency blow!

Emergency blow!

All right, let's go.

A a a a ah! Aah!

No, no, no.

sh*t, sh*t!

Pierce, come on. Come on.

You're not gonna
die here. Get up!

No, listen, sir.

God and country don't
mean sh*t anymore.

The only thing that
matters now is family.

All right? Go find your wife.

Don't do this. Come
on. Don't do this.

We can... Maybe we can...

No, no, no. We'll cut it off.

No, no, no!

Listen, this is as
good place as any.

I'm sorry.

Ah. I'm not.

My brother, right?

Then go ahead and get.

Hey.

Pierce?

Here. I-I don't want that.

I'll take it.

Guard it with your life.

They can never be in
the same room again.

Aye-aye, sir.

It has been an honor to serve
with each and every one of you.

Now we gotta go find our people.

That's all we have left.

Abandon ship.

Aye-aye, sir.

That's everyone.

Well...

Hi. You've reached the Rileys.
We're not home at the mom...

Hello?

Jason!

Lucy?

- Jason!
- Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, thank God you're alive.

Babe, do you know
what's going on?

Um... Where are you?

I'm on land.

I'm coming to you.

Okay. Are you
safe? How's Oliver?

He's sleeping.

Oh, babe, we made a
person. He's so beautiful.

Ah. Just stay safe, okay?

Stay safe. I'm coming to you.

He has your smile.

I just wish you could see him.

I will see him. I will see him.

Just stay where you are
and I'll come to you, okay?

Oh. Babe, I'm so sorry.

I tried... we tried
as long as we could.

Hello?

I love you.

What is...

Lucy?

No!

No.

No.

No!

No.

This ain't it, son.

Ain't what?

The end. This ain't it.

That right?

Son.

This is just the beginning.
