Megalodon (2018) - full transcript

A military vessel on the search for an unidentified submersible finds themselves face to face with a giant shark, forced to use only what they have on board to defend themselves from the monstrous beast.

I want you to look around

at the new faces today.

These are your brothers

and sisters.

You will serve together,

and you will fight together.

You will laugh

and you will cry together.

This is your home

and I am proud

to be serving alongside

each and every one of you.

Now as we set sail, I want

each one of you to think

about what you are

fighting to protect

because that is the thing

that will keep you going.

That is the thing that will make

sure that you never give up.

I want you to remember

our core principles:

honor, courage

and commitment.

That is what sets

the Navy apart.

Why are we here?

So others may live!

Hooyah!

Hooyah!

And now it is my privilege

to present to you

a very special guest:

Admiral King.

You should all feel

honored today

as the Admiral takes great pride

in welcoming new cadets.

Admiral on deck!

At ease, sailors!

Thank you, Captain.

You've all come a

very long way,

and now you'll be

tested out in the open sea.

So be careful.

A mistake can cost a life.

An even bigger mistake can

cost a lot more than that.

All I ask is you keep

your eyes open,

and watch your backs.

I'm proud to be here.

I'm proud to have you

as my crew.

This could be my last voyage.

Let's make it count.

Sir...?

Now's not a

good time, Vallier.

Yes, sir.

It's just...

we've got something.

What do you mean?

Well, we've picked up

something on the sonar.

I think you need to see it.

So what do we know?

Not much, sir.

How far down?

We talking about a sub here?

Not sure, sir,

but I did catch a sound.

A sound?

What do you mean, sound?

The timing on it, Munos?

It's been about

three minutes, ma'am.

- You got a bearing on it yet?

- I'm trying.

What in God's name

is going on?

Captain on deck!

As you were.

What's going on?

Strange signal.

No bearing yet,

but it's deep.

- What is it?

- We're working on that, sir.

Okay. Can we work on it

without hearing it?

We're thinking it's either

a sub or a drone.

But since it's so deep,

I'm willing to say

it's not a drone.

We're picking

something up, sir.

How far out?

Closing in on it.

Just...

Is this it?

Admiral on the bridge!

As you were.

Captain, what have we got?

Looks like a sub.

What are you gonna do

about that?

Well, we're working on it.

Vallier, what can you give me?

Well, it's hard to say, sir.

But I'm guessing

we're right above it.

What do you think?

I think we should

check it out.

- Lynch?

- Yes, sir?

Wait until the Admiral

has a chance to speak.

The Russians have

been operating

around this region for

a really long time.

But we never really had any

hard proof of it yet.

We need to find out

if it's them.

Well, if we're gonna

step in it,

then we're gonna have

to clean it up.

And I'd rather we get this

over with before NATO

sticks its big snout right

in my face.

- Or the president.

- Yeah, him too, yeah.

Well, we'll get

to the bottom of it.

I could take

the bell down, sir.

Admiral, if you'll excuse us?

I need to speak with

my Commander in private.

All right then.

You guys let me know.

You do not speak

to a CO like that!

Especially in the presence

of an Admiral.

- Do you understand?

- Sorry, sir.

You really want to get that

thing in the water, don't you?

I do, sir.

I helped develop that thing.

Which you never

tire of reminding us.

All right.

I'll consider it.

Thank you, sir.

Deploy the drones first.

If there's anything

worth looking at,

I'll consider sending you.

Yes, sir.

Already on it.

Excuse me, Commander?

I may have already ordered

the drones prepped, sir.

Commander!

Sir, I figured it

would be something

you would want me to do.

Do you know what

an order is?

I do, sir.

You don't do anything

unless I tell you to.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, sir.

You can't take an order

unless it's given.

- Does that make sense, Commander?

- Yes, sir.

I went you to get out

there with Munos,

and I want you

to observe the drones.

But you do not do

anything unless I tell you.

- Is that clear?

- Yes, sir.

This is still my ship.

Dismissed.

How far down is the drone?

Approaching 4000 meters.

Switch to live feed.

What's that, Munos?

Where, ma'am?

Third quadrant?

Did you see that light?

Or was that just a reflection?

Boom.

Right there.

Zoom in.

That looks like a

Borei-II class submarine.

It's been hit.

All right.

Let's get that over

to the Captain.

Sorry to keep you

waiting, Admiral.

You know, there's

a lot of tension

between our countries

right now.

And I don't wanna have to make

a phone call to Congress

over something to do

with Russians, all right?

I understand, sir.

But if it is the Russians...

- And the SPCC.

- Yes, sir.

Yeah, I got a meeting

with the D.O.D.

As soon as I'm done, I'll

check back with you, all right?

Yeah.

So this is your last hurrah?

Yes, sir.

My ass is getting old

and I can't wait

for retirement.

Well, that makes two of us.

Hopefully, we'll be on

the same beach together.

Hey, listen, don't

worry about Lynch.

She's gonna be all right.

Yes, she will, sir.

I mean, it kind

of looks like...

Yeah.

I've never seen

anything like it.

What could do that to a sub?

Torpedo maybe?

Okay.

Then what fired it?

It looks like the sub may

be sealed off at the bulkhead.

So there could be survivors?

In theory.

All right.

I'll take that to the Captain.

- You don't have to.

- Captain on deck!

At ease.

Lynch, come with me.

Vallier, call

my Tactical Actions Officer

- on deck immediately.

- Yes, sir.

- Nice work, everyone.

- Thank you, sir.

Now the only reason they'd be

down there would be espionage.

The Admiral thinks

they're trying to tap

into the Southern Pacific

Communications Cable.

I agree.

Why does that not

surprise me, sir?

Jameson, come join us.

Sir? Ma'am?

Did you get eyes

on that sub?

- We did.

- Russian?

Looks that way.

Should I prep my team?

If we find Russian survivors,

there could be a situation.

Not yet.

Although, have 'em at the ready.

Things could change quick.

Sorry, sir, but if we have

the capabilities to do it,

then we should...

With all due respect,

Commander, there's no guarantee

that anyone's even alive

on that sub.

Right, but there's no

guarantee that no one's not.

Yeah, but they sure as hell

will die if we don't intervene.

Yes, they could.

That's a risk they took.

- Jameson...

- Sorry, sir.

None of that means that

we can't go down there.

I hear you, Commander.

But who knows what the Russians

might bring up with them?

Or what they might do to

protect whatever the hell

they're intercepting

from the SPCC.

But it doesn't mean that

we don't try to rescue them.

Understood.

I'd be willing

to take that risk, sir.

You would.

You'd be willing to risk

your life as well as that

of fellow seamen just

to get in that water?

Yes, sir.

I'd take responsibility.

Well, that's very

brave of you.

But I'm sure you know it

doesn't work that way.

Sir, send me by myself.

Go prep the bell.

You take two with you.

- Yes, sir.

- But you listen to me.

And you listen

to me carefully.

We're gonna send

you down there,

and that's your time.

You own it.

But whatever you bring up

with you,

they're to stay in

the brig until we dock.

- Do you understand me?

- Yes, sir.

I am still the

Captain of this ship.

So whatever I say, goes.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Jameson, prep Mansfield.

Yes, sir.

I want him to be one

of your two.

Thank you, sir.

Dismissed.

Heading down. Over.

Okay.

What's ESDS?

It's Electro-shock

Defense System.

Cheng and I basically

built the inside

of the bell into

a Faraday cage

so we could electroshock

blasts as a defense.

That's amazing.

So that's what the lines

running outside are.

The problem is,

I wasn't able to hook it

to the battery reserve.

All right, let's keep

it tight, Lynch.

I always do, Captain.

And don't get too cocky

down there if we can help it.

Yes, sir.

Captain, are you seeing this?

What am I looking at?

I mean, it looks like...

Like a bite mark?

Just what I was thinking.

What has a bite that big?

No idea.

Closing in and

engaging with sub.

Affirmative.

Take it easy.

We are aligned.

Contact.

Munos, confirm airlock

to the sub.

Confirmed.

We are locked.

- We're on.

- Copy that.

Bell's hatch is open,

moving on to the sub hatch.

Do you see anything?

No, sir, nothing.

Oh, my God.

Does anybody speak English?

I do.

- Is anyone hurt?

- All others dead.

Come up, come up.

Get in!

Get in now!

Lynch!

Are you okay?

Munos, get ready

to detach on my command!

Lynch! Commander!

Come in!

Set!

Now!

Lynch!

Okay, sir!

We detached just before

the sub collapsed!

How many did you get?

Three.

They all look pretty rough,

but no one seems to be injured.

What happened to you

all down there?

We were attacked.

Attacked?

By what?

I think a shark.

- A what?

- Did she say shark?

Yes, shark.

Big one.

Okay.

Wanna tell me what

you were doing down there

in the first place?

Well, we were...

We do whaling, shark survey.

We need to get up... quickly.

Is not good down here.

So that's your story?

Shark surveying?

Of course.

We must get out of water

before the shark find us again.

You're lucky we picked

you up on sonar.

I'll take you back up,

but you're gonna have

to do better than that

for the Captain.

Mansfield?

Keep an eye on our... whalers.

Yes, ma'am.

All right, Daniels.

Bring us up.

Captain, the Russians

are saying it was a shark.

Wait! A shark?

You said it was a shark?

Yeah.

Are you sure? Did you check

your systems, your sonar?

Yes.

It's obviously B.S.

There's not a shark big enough

to do that type of damage.

Well, my guess is

we're not the first ones

to spot these guys.

Somebody probably shot at 'em

and left 'em for dead.

Captain!

What is it?

Right there!

What am I looking at?

What is it? Sub?

Not sure, sir.

I need you to be sure!

Yes, sir, Captain.

Hey, Lynch, are you

seeing anything down there?

No, sir, nothing.

Checking monitoring again.

There!

Wait, Captain.

I think I see something.

Could it be whatever fired

on the Russians?

Maybe, sir, but I don't know.

It's blocking all my monitors.

Oh, my God.

What is it, Lynch?

Lynch, come in!

Are you there?

Let me try to fix this now.

- Try it again.

- What happened, Lynch?

Do you copy?

It's a shark, sir!

It's a massive shark!

Lynch, are you okay?

Damn it!

I don't care what

you have to do.

I want you to find 'em.

Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

Stay away from that

thing, damn it!

Captain on the deck!

What happened?

Something has the bell, sir!

What do we do, Commander?

Hold on.

Everybody, hold on!

Status?

Cable won't come up, sir!

That's not acceptable, Cheng!

I gotta get this

thing up here!

We tried to retract it,

but the counterpressure

is too much!

What if we gun the ship

in the opposite direction?

If we had more power, maybe.

But we've lost secondary power!

We have to blow the cable!

Communications are dead!

Propulsion's offline too!

Munos, take over!

What did you do to get

the shark to let go of you?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Do I look like an idiot to you?

Tell me now!

We're gonna blow the cable!

They'll all die

down there, Captain!

If we don't blow the cable,

so will we!

We don't have any other option!

- Blow it!

- Sir...?

We have no other option!

Blow it!

Hey, what just happened?

- I think they cut us loose.

- What?

Vallier?

Do you read me?

Vallier!

Mansfield, get to the back.

Watch them!

Yes, ma'am.

What was that?

That was the shark

swallowing us.

No, no, this

can't be happening! If we...

- Enough!

- We're dead!

Munos, I need a report!

Okay.

We're losing power.

Oxygen 90%,

but it's not gonna last.

Kill all nonessential power.

We need to conserve.

What do we have then?

Maybe... I don't know.

Half an hour?

Munos, I'll be back.

Times' up, sweetheart.

I need to know everything now.

Sir, there's

only one blip now.

I think the shark

swallowed the bell.

You're kidding me!

Can you reach them?

We have to make contact.

Give me something.

I'm trying sir.

I really am.

But nothing seems

to be coming through.

Can we get a signal at least?

Negative, sir.

That's dead too.

Look. I don't care what

you have to do.

But I need you to get

those comms working.

Do you understand me?

Sir!

We need you over here!

It's urgent, sir.

Find a way 'cause your

seamen are counting on you.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

I asked you a question.

It was the sound of

our drill...

- Yana...?

- Your drill?

You ever hear of whale watchers

who use a drill, Mansfield?

No, ma'am.

Yeah, me either.

Cut the crap.

I'm telling the truth.

We were using our

high-speed drill.

And it seemed to draw

the shark upon us...

Hey! Drop it now!

No, I don't think so.

There is no more talking

to be done.

You understand?

We're going up!

- We can't...

- Now!

We can't go up!

We're stuck inside

whatever attacked your sub,

And if you don't help us, then

this is where we end right now!

Then it is where

it should end.

And I start with this traitor.

Grab the gun.

- Mansfield?

- Mm-hmm?

Tie him up!

Yes, ma'am.

Get your hands up.

Get your hands up.

And you need to sit

back down, huh?

Just put your hands behind

your back, broski.

So how do we get out

of a shark's stomach?

If we can get the ESDS

back online,

I think we can shock the

inner lining of its belly

and get it to regurgitate us.

Do you think that'll work?

I don't know,

but I'm gonna try.

That should allow

the electricity to pass through

to the shock rods

on the outside.

Let's test it out.

I'm gonna ram us into

the side of the shark.

Be ready to hit that button.

Yes, ma'am.

Here we go.

Now!

What was that?

There goes the rest

of our battery reserves.

Did it work?

No, it didn't.

All right, what's

the status on that bell?

Just prepping sonar one.

Can be ready...

it's sinking, sir.

The shark is heading

down to deep water.

It won't be able to

survive the pressure.

But if we cut...

Look, we gotta get

the ship up and running.

And then what, sir?

And then we save her.

Then we save her.

Commander, I don't like

this pressure change.

- If we go any deeper...

- I know.

I feel it too.

How long do we have?

That doesn't change anything.

You will not save us.

We will all die down here.

Not if the United States Navy

has anything to say about it.

I'm sorry, but I'm not

sharing your optimism

about abilities of the

United States...

You better watch your

mouth when you're talking

about the Navy.

Engines?

Still dead, but if we can

get the lines clear,

maybe we'll get something.

Pumps are running

on battery power.

But we'll tear through

that soon enough.

Save it.

It's not gonna help us. Comms?

That's dead too, sir.

The power surge fried a

lot of the equipment.

But sonar is still operational.

It's just running on batteries.

Okay. That we'll need.

Keep that thing up

and running.

I wanna know where

it is at all times.

Okay.

- What about Morse Code?

- Not sure, sir.

I mean, it's routinely

maintained, so it should work.

How do we even know

if Lynch equipped

the bell with a telegraph?

Well, knowing Lynch,

she probably did.

All right,

let's give it a shot.

It's all we got.

You work on

that Morse Code for me.

- Copy that.

- Dismissed.

Why don't you just

tell me the truth, hmm?

What were you doing down there?

We're all gonna die down here.

Then what does it matter?

Something funny about

that, Natasha?

You Americans are

all the same.

No respect for anyone

but selves.

And you Russians are

all dirty, stinking...

Hey! Hey, why don't

you just tell me?

What did you do there for

the shark to leave you alone?

I told you. Nothing.

We use drill.

Shark come, destroy sub.

And what happened

to the drill?

Drill destroyed too.

It slipped off cable.

So you were drilling

into the SPCC?

What are you after, hmm?

What is your mission?

Told you.

We are whalers.

We were performing

a shark survey.

Hey, Munos?

Do I like liars?

- No, ma'am, you do not.

- No, I do not.

So I'm gonna ask you

one more time.

What is your mission?

We are whalers.

We're performing

a shark survey.

Okay, will this thing work?

Well, I'm sending a signal.

But I'm not receiving.

Okay, please.

Lynch is counting

on all of us.

Do your best.

- Sir?

- Yeah?

Sir, the Admiral asks to

see you on the signal deck.

Okay.

Bring Jameson up with you.

I don't want

to keep him waiting.

- Copy.

- Look. Get it done.

Copy that.

Admiral on deck!

As you were, gentlemen.

Captain, I heard about

the loss of Lynch.

Never easy losing a soldier,

and she was a good one.

There's no answer for it.

I think you did the right thing.

With all due respect, sir,

we haven't lost them yet.

With all due respect

to you, Captain,

they were swallowed by a shark.

I mean...

Well, you're not trying

to tell me

that you're contemplating

a rescue, are you?

That's exactly

what I'm saying.

If you want to put the men

and women on this ship

in harm's way, I'd have to find

that to be gross incompetence.

Sir, this is still my ship.

If there's men and women are

still alive down there,

I'm gonna do everything

I can to save them

with or without your

permission, sir.

Well, that's true.

This is your ship.

And you are in command.

And you don't need

my permission.

That's correct, sir.

Except in the event of...

what would that be, Ensign

Burkhead, in the event of what?

Sir?

He's in command

unless in the event of...

In the event of gross

negligence towards the ship,

the lives of

the sailors onboard

or the protection

of state secrets.

You leave me no choice

if you're gonna continue

on this course but to

relieve you of command

and put you in the brig.

So, Jameson, take this

man to the brig.

Sir, there's men and women

still alive down there!

It's a casualty of war,

Captain, and we're at war.

I mean, I would think you of all

people would understand that.

All right, Jameson,

take him away.

Is there a problem, Jameson?

Yes, sir, there is.

What would that be?

Respectfully, sir,

I don't take orders from you.

You might be an Admiral.

But while you're aboard

this ship,

you don't have the authority

to take over command.

Well, I most certainly do.

Not if you're the only one

who thinks so, sir.

Burkhead, you take both of

them to the brig right now.

Is this really how you

guys wanna play this?

You're willing to risk

your futures on a whim?

Your military careers

are gonna be over

even before they started.

All for what?

For the lives of three sailors

that might already be dead?

They'd do the same

for us, sir.

Jameson, make sure the Admiral

is comfortable in his quarters.

Take your hands off me.

Let go.

You're all defying

a direct order.

Every single one of

you on this bridge

could be court-martialed

for what you're doing.

Do you realize that?

You do what you think

is necessary, sir.

Sir, please?

I'm sorry, sir.

That's enough standing around.

Let's go save our officers!

Treadwell.

Guard his door.

Yes, sir!

Getting something.

Sir, they received

the message.

Okay, so they're alive now.

Thank God.

Okay, I need ideas now.

- Well...

- Sir?

- Yeah?

- I think I have one.

Okay, Cheng, so explain

this to me again.

Well, sir, it's commonly

thought that certain species

of sharks can smell

a drop of blood

- from up to 500 meters away.

- Okay.

So it's safe to say

that whatever

we're dealing with is

anything but typical.

Okay, so what's your point?

My point is this creature

is capable of sensing blood

from distances astronomically

larger than that.

Cheng, what do you think

this thing might be?

A Megalodon, sir.

A prehistoric creature

that hasn't been seen

in a couple of million years.

Then you're talking

about the Megalodon?

Yes, sir.

I thought that thing

only existed in myth.

No, sir. Just extinct

is all, or so we thought.

- Sir?

- Yeah, what is it?

Right this way.

Hey, Cheng, why are

we in the galley?

- Commander?

- What is it?

- I'm getting another message.

- What are they saying?

"Hang tight. We got a plan

to bring you up.

There will be blood."

Rep?

Send this back.

"Oxygen at 60%.

"Power close to critical.

"Pressure increasing,

but bearable for now.

Thank you, Captain."

The battery reserve?

What do we have?

Not much.

Then I sure hope they hurry.

I left checks on aisle one.

Okay, where are they, Vallier?

It's very hard to say, sir.

The shark is heading down

to deep water laterally, but...

- But what?

- It's just not right, sir.

Explain that.

Well, it just has

an odd pattern to it.

A odd moving pattern to it.

Where's the nearest

land mass?

That would be Hawaii, sir.

It's a thousand miles

on the northeast.

- Okay. Jameson?

- Sir?

Time to prep your team.

Have them at the ready.

We're gonna lure the shark

back up to the ship.

It's not gonna like

what's waiting for it.

Yes, sir. Should I prep

the artillery guns?

It wouldn't do any good

unless we get

a good distance

between us and it.

Most likely, sir.

But it couldn't hurt

to have 'em ready.

True.

Okay, let's prep

the artillery.

Make sure the sideboard guns

are working.

We'll see if we get a good

line of sight from there.

Yes, sir.

- Burkhead?

- Sir!

Have your men on standby.

Be ready to deploy

the lifeboats.

Once that thing comes up,

we're only gonna have

a few minutes to get it off

the diving bell.

You got it, sir.

I'll get 'em out.

Choose three men

to go with you.

Yes, sir.

Sir?

May I ask how you plan on

luring the shark?

Here it is.

That's all the steak

we got on the ship.

- Such a waste.

- Yep.

Then it's beans and rice for

the next six months, fellas.

Thank you, Morris.

You sure this is gonna work?

Not at all, but in theory,

it should...

So, what?

We just throw this

bag of chow in the water

and wait for the shark

to take the bait?

Pretty much.

Cheng, what are we doing

about the electricity?

Well, sir, we're about

to hook it up right now.

It's semi-based on what

we did with the bell.

Didn't Lynch say that

wasn't gonna work?

This will, sir.

Well, I don't wanna

fry the last bit

of what this ship

currently has.

That's really where

CS Morris comes in, sir.

He retrofitted his galley

to run entirely off

of DC power instead of gas.

So we have an entirely

self-contained system?

Yep. And the ship

remains unaffected.

Morris, when we dock, remind

me to get you a promotion.

Yes, sir!

All right.

But the galley doesn't

have the same amount of energy

that the entire ship has.

That's correct, sir, but

it should give us at least

30 seconds of killer juice

before it fries everything.

Then we're cooking our

meals over an open fire.

Okay, all right,

let's see what we got.

Hit it!

It works!

Nice work, everyone.

Cheng, no matter what,

do not flip that switch

unless I tell you.

- Do you understand me?

- Yes, sir.

Make sure our sailors

are safe.

All right, let's get

that thing in the water.

Dismissed.

Status!

It's closing in on it, sir!

It seems to have taken the bait!

- Cheng, are you ready?

- All ready on deck, sir!

Waiting for your command!

Jameson?

Ready here, sir!

Let's light this

son of a bitch up!

Vallier, did you get

the message to Lynch?

Sure did, sir.

Good!

Everybody be ready!

Let's go!

I'm getting something

else here.

- What's it say?

- "Be ready to move.

You'll know your window

when you see it."

All right.

Thank you, Munos.

Mansfield!

Hold it down back there!

This could get rough!

What are we going to do?

Drive out?

That's exactly

what we're gonna do.

It's right below us, sir.

- There!

- This is it!

Get me everything

she's got, Munos!

Get me everything she's got!

Come on!

Everything she's got!

Do I have two

separate pings yet?

Not yet, sir, but we should

have impact in three, two...

Oh!

That is how you drive!

Sir, I have them on sonar.

- Confirm again, soldier.

- Yes, sir.

I have two separate

pings right there.

There!

Welcome back, Commander.

Looks like

you've been through it.

Nice to see you

too, Burkhead.

That ride for us?

Yes, ma'am.

We got 'em.

Sir, we got 'em!

All right,

good job, soldiers.

But we're not out

of this yet!

Chang, as soon as

everybody's onboard,

I want you to fry that thing!

You understand me?

Yes, sir.

Burkhead!

Okay, everyone, this is it!

No matter what happens,

let's bring our sailors home!

Hooyah!

- Man overboard!

- Man overboard!

Two in the water!

Grab the rope!

Grab the rope!

She's on!

Jameson, are they clear?

Not yet, sir!

- Cheng, are you ready?

- Ready!

Wait for my command.

All clear! All clear!

Light it up!

Shut it down!

Mansfield!

Cut the cable!

Cut the cable!

Thanks.

And a private suite

for Ivanov.

It's pronounced ee-van-ov.

- And for you, Captain Ivanov.

- Okay, Captain.

Well, we're gonna get to

know each other real well.

All right, comrades,

party's over.

Sir, I think we

should question Popov.

Let me question Ivanov first.

But, sir, she has information

on the mission

about what they were actually

doing down there.

And she's frightened.

I think I can get her to talk.

I can hear you, you know.

I speak American,

or did you forget?

Am I wrong?

Okay, we'll question Popov.

Let me get Ivanov

first, all right?

Yes, sir.

Jameson, bring them inside.

Bring him down below.

I'll be there in one minute.

Lynch, you come with me.

So where do we stand?

Well, sir, the bell's

being brought onboard, sir.

I can see that. What else?

The trap drained most of

the power from the galley.

I was able to get

comms back online, though.

Okay, good.

Were you able to send

the transmission?

Yes, sir, but it doesn't

look like

we're gonna get help

any time soon.

Of course not.

How we looking on this shark?

Well, sir, it seems to

have taken the bait.

The sonar's pretty clear.

Cheng, I need you to find

a way if this thing comes back

- to come up with a plan, okay?

- Yes, sir.

Lynch, I want you

to guard the bridge.

Jameson and I are going

to question Ivanov.

Sir, I can...

Commander, you almost

died today.

I want you to take

a deep breath

and be grateful you're

still alive, okay?

Get yourself cleaned up

and guard the bridge for me.

Yes, sir.

I'll be back shortly.

Dismissed.

Clear the room.

Yes, sir.

Step out, gents.

So, Commander Lynch tells me

that your mission down there

was some top secret research.

Top secret?

No, Captain.

I am a scientist.

We don't get to do secrets.

So I've heard.

But let me ask you this.

Why would one of Russia's

top submarine officers decide

to throw it all away

and become a scientist?

Come on, Viktor, you had

to know that we know.

You got me, Captain.

You speak Russian?

Now are you surprised?

Now I'm gonna ask you

one last time

because my patience

is running thin.

What were you doing

down there?

Were you trying to tap

into the SPCC?

We were to study whales.

If we find out that you

were trying to interfere

with allied forces,

there are going to be some

very serious consequences.

Is that what you think?

You think your president

is going to lift a finger?

You overestimate

the intelligence

of your current

Commander-in-Chief.

Why are you Russians

always so arrogant?

Why are you Americans

always are so piggish?

You know, Captain Streeper,

in my country...

We are not in your country!

We are on my ship!

And that means,

if I give Jameson an order

right now to shoot you,

he will not hesitate.

So here's what I'm thinking.

I'm thinking you were

trying to tap into

the Southern Pacific

Communications Cable.

And I'm thinking that, while

you were down there drilling,

you have awakened a monster

from the bowels of hell.

The problem is that

you got caught.

This not only makes you a,

enemy of the United States.

But an enemy against humanity.

I don't think the Kremlin's

gonna be very happy with that.

Some pretty bad publicity.

So I'm gonna ask

you one last time.

What were you

doing down there?

I love whales.

Stand up.

Move.

Viktor?

Make sure the Captain

is comfortable.

Yes, sir.

Miss Popov, have a seat.

Now I can't stress this enough,

and I need you to be

honest with me.

Commander Lynch has informed me

that you're willing

to share information

that your commander

was not willing to give up.

I understand.

What were you doing

down there?

I can't tell you that,

Captain.

Miss Popov, I have risked

the lives of my sailors

to save your life.

Not to mention facing

a horrific beast.

The least you can do is

to be honest with me.

If you are asking

why we were down there,

you already know.

The pipeline?

Do you realize the amount

of international outcry

this could cause toward

your country?

That is not my call, Captain!

I am soldier in

Russian military first

even if my specialty is science.

- That does not excuse...

- No, it doesn't!

But what choice do I have?

Can I say no?

Do you tell your president no?

No, I guess not.

What do you want

to know, Captain?

I do not wish to die out here.

What were you searching

for in the pipeline?

The most dangerous thing

your enemy has,

Captain, is their secrets.

We're after secrets.

Sir?

Can I have a moment?

Sure thing.

Excuse me.

That shark is still out there.

I do not wish

to die here, Captain.

That shark is as dead

as your freedom.

It's a long ride home.

Get comfortable.

Right here's good!

- Oh, yeah.

- Ah, man.

That's the life

right there, man.

- Cheers?

- Cheers.

Cheng, this better

be important.

We got a million things

going on right now.

Sir, I think I have a solution

for if the Megalodon returns.

What is that?

Some kind of detonator?

Yes, sir.

We already know that the shark

is attracted to the bell.

So, theoretically, if we fill

it full of explosives,

we can use it

to lure the shark

and blow it up.

Are you telling me that

you've taken a $2 billion dollar

submersible prototype and you've

turned it into a cherry bomb?

I used every spare

part I could find.

I think I could probably

get a couple hundred feet

of range on this thing.

- Well, at least it's not 10.

- 10 would be bad.

- Okay.

- Okay?

If that's the best we got,

that's the best we got.

A bad plan is still

a plan, Cheng!

Yes, sir.

I'll start rigging it up

with fuel now.

Thanks.

Anything?

Damn it!

Come on.

Really?

Captain on the bridge!

At ease.

Learn anything?

Well, Ivanov didn't

want to talk.

But Popov admitted to the SPCC.

Said she was down there

for their enemy's secrets.

Did they mention

anything about the sharks?

Only that she didn't

wanna die down there.

So they were

drilling the SPCC?

- Yeah.

- Pentagon's gonna love that.

Well, that's their problem.

How we looking on the ship?

We're still dead

in the water, but...

Yeah, but Munos is working

on it right now.

- Sir?

- What is it?

It's back!

What do you mean, it's back?

The shark is

circling the ship.

Yeah, but it's moving

away there.

Well, where is it going?

Okay, Vallier, where

were we when we first

picked up the signal?

We picked up

the sub right about here.

All right, so based on our

drift as well as start position,

sea current, that would

put us right about here.

- That's right about, sir.

- Okay.

So the shark's going at a

45-degree angle northeast.

No.

I need you to get with Cheng

and work on that

diving bell.

Okay.

I know you're

upset about this.

But it seems to be the only

thing that's gonna work.

You know that diving bell

inside and out

and I really need your help.

Yes, sir.

Let's get down

to the engine room

and make sure

that engine's running.

Yes, sir.

Good?

Ready to try it?

Right here.

Ready?

Damn it!

What is that?

What is that sound?

The sound from earlier.

Yeah, but where's it

coming from?

Just give me a second.

I think it's coming

from the ship, sir.

- Sir?

- What's up?

- It's back.

- What's... what's back?

- The shark's back.

- The shark is back?

What are you talking about,

the shark is back?

That means it hasn't left.

I thought it left

the sonar there!

You were just saying that

a few minutes ago!

I know!

Okay, get every branch

of the military on

the phone right now immediately.

- We are under attack!

- Copy that!

Command, this is the USS Shaw.

We need immediate assistance!

Here we go, gents! Post up!

Move, move! Right there,

right there, right there.

Head on a swivel!

Post up! Post up!

Move! Post up.

Down! Go!

Head on a swivel!

Port side, 200 yards out!

There! Fire!

Fire!

Coming in! Coming in!

Burkhead! Big gun!

Get on the big gun!

Copy!

Move! Move!

Take that, you son of a bitch!

Movement forward!

Fire!

- That's it?

- Yeah.

All right.

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Sir!

This isn't working!

Munos, shut it off!

It's making the shark crazy.

Yes, sir!

Shut it down!

Sir, the Russians

have escaped!

Okay, go!

Jameson, get to the brig!

- Where is it?

- What?

Hello, Commander.

Nice to see you again.

What did you do?

Take a look.

You idiot.

So quick you judge.

You say idiot, I say smart.

There is no way

I'm letting you take us back

to your country

to make example of.

Yeah.

Well, you just made sure

we're all gonna die.

So thanks for that.

You.

Toss it overboard... now!

No.

Do it now or

we will kill you both.

Do it.

Good girl. It is a shame

we couldn't get

to know each other better,

Commander.

I have enjoyed this time we

spend down there together

but now we must take the boat.

And leave you all to fight

giant fish on your own.

You're not going anywhere,

Red October.

- Lieutenant?

- Yes, sir?

If the Captain doesn't

put that weapon down

by a count of one,

please shoot him.

Yes, sir.

Cover me, cover me!

Secure the deck!

Burkhead, secure the bridge!

Yes, sir!

Damn it!

No, I understand, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Well, that was the Pentagon.

They wanna stay hands-free.

What?

Do they know what

we're dealing with?

They do. They're trying to

come up with solutions,

none of which we're gonna like.

Sir, I have some news

you're not gonna like either.

What is it?

Ivanov is armed.

He released the bell

and made Cheng throw

the detonator overboard.

Jameson and his men

are pursuing him now.

Anything else?

About 90 seconds ago, the

shark swallowed the bell, sir.

Is there any way we can

make it on the detonator?

It is possible, theoretically.

If I can find more parts,

I think...

- You think?

- I'm sorry, sir.

I mean, I will.

- Good.

- I'm on it.

Everyone's counting on you.

Sir!

With your permission, I need

to lock down the bridge!

Permission granted.

Where is he?

- Who?

- Don't get smart...

Jameson, give me a report.

Jameson.

Sir, Jameson's been shot!

We think it's the Russians,

and they jumped ship.

Burkhead, I need you

to get down there

and figure out what happened.

Yes, sir.

What do we do, sir?

Well, we're gonna

figure out from Cheng.

- Sir?

- Will that thing work?

I think... yes, sir,

definitely.

- Only one problem.

- What is it?

It's only gonna have

a short range on it.

How short?

20 feet, sir.

20 feet?

- Did you say 20 feet?

- Yeah.

Well, at least it's not 10.

No! I'm sorry.

That's not good enough!

Hey, Commander...

I'm not gonna let

anybody else go down...

Commander!

Excuse me!

Everybody leave us for

one minute, please.

Thank you!

- Commander...

- I'm sorry, sir.

I just don't wanna

lose anyone else.

This was supposed to be

a simple mission!

Look at me.

Look at me!

One day you're gonna make

a fantastic Captain.

Thank you, sir, but...

Unfortunately for you,

that day is today.

No. No!

I am ordering an

immediate evacuation,

And I'm putting everybody

under your command.

No!

This is a suicide mission!

This shark is gonna

take down this ship!

I need you get everyone

in the lifeboat.

I'll deal with the shark.

But I need somebody

to find the Admiral.

- You don't have to do this.

- Yes, I do!

The Captain goes down

with the ship!

And one day, you'll

understand that!

Now I'm giving you an order

and I expect you to execute it.

Lynch, watching you grow

has been one of

the greatest achievements

of my military career.

Thank you, sir.

Dismissed.

All right, listen up because

I'm only gonna say this once.

We've seen better days.

We lost some brothers

and sisters today.

But we also saved a few as well.

We have found ourselves amid a

potential international crisis,

not to mention facing a beast

thought to be millions

of years extinct.

Well, that thing wants

to take us out.

But we will not let it,

because we are

the United States Navy!

We never quit!

And we will never surrender!

Not today, not tomorrow,

not ever!

We survive.

Look, we've never seen anything

like this, not in these waters.

I have ordered an

immediate evacuation

and I have placed you under

the command of Commander Lynch

who will make sure

that she sees

each and every one

of you safely home.

This thing wants

to take us down?

Fine. Let it.

Because we are going to

blow this thing apart

because we are part

of the greatest military

in the history of the world:

The United States military!

Hooyah!

Hooyah!

It's been an honor serving

with each and every one of you.

And each and every one of

you represents

the Stars and Stripes,

the flag of freedom.

And when times get tough, I want

each and every one of you

to think about our

core principles,

our core values:

Honor, courage and commitment!

Because that is

the United States Navy way!

Happy sailing, ladies

and gentlemen.

Dismissed.

Treadwell, get yourself

onto that lifeboat.

Get off of this ship.

Let me have that.

Watch yourself, okay?

- Yes, sir.

- Relieved.

Everyone is ready, sir.

Good.

We've prepped

the engine room, sir.

And I think

it's safe to say...

I know.

Go.

You get to that lifeboat,

sailor.

That's an order.

Yes, sir.

Commander!

Where are you going, Captain?

Come on, Captain.

Let's not draw this out.

Ivanov, you know I have

to turn that engine on!

Don't forget about

my mission, Captain.

You have no mission, Ivanov!

Hello, Commander.

What did you do?

Nothing.

Come on out,

you son of a bitch!

I gotta be honest, sir.

That was some movie

hero type shit.

You bet your ass it was!

Streeper, you gotta

get off this boat.

No, Admiral.

The Captain goes down

with the ship.

You know that.

You taught me that.

Yeah, I did.

Now it's time to forget it.

Actually, gentlemen,

this is my ship.

Goddamn it, Lynch!

What are you doing down here?

No time for that.

Let's get you two topside.

No, no, no!

No chance of it!

I'm done.

I'm finished.

I ain't gonna make it.

Lynch, get the Admiral

to the lifeboat right now!

Get on a boat and get out.

Save yourselves, both of you.

You gonna martyr

yourselves over me?

There's sailors in

the water out there.

They need you both.

I'll take away my last chance to

have any glory in this lifetime.

You're relieved of duty.

That's it.

Actually, sir,

he gave command to me.

Well then,

God speed to you both.

- Get off the ship.

- Yes, sir.

Leave me. Go.

Sir, you're gonna need

to be within at least 20 feet

in order to make

this thing work.

You gotta free

the switch in order to activate

the sounds so that the shark is

still interested in the ship.

He's definitely interested.

From the sound of it,

20 feet won't be a problem.

Sir, if I may,

everything

in my career, I owe to you.

It has been an honor

serving under you, sir.

You've been a good officer.

Get the hell outta here.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Well, hello, big fella.

You know, my wife keeps telling

me to quit smoking.

I guess now's

a good of time as any.

What do you say?

Adios.

Thank you, Admiral.
