Spring, 1942
The Hitler submarine wreaked havoc in the North Atlantic, drowning more than 1,000 allied ships and threatening to destroy the aid line from America to England.
Unable to decode the new submarine radio, the allied country fought blindly against the German attack.
The speed of enemies is eight. Angle at bow, sixty.
Target set.
Depth set.
Distance, five hundred.
Within firing range.
Speed of torpedoes, 35 knots.
Continuous shots of tubes one and four!
Tubes 1 and 4 are ready.
Continuous shots.
Shoot!
Torpedo slides.
5, 4, 3...
2, 1...
Answer!
Ja!
A great shot, Captain.
Yes, gentlemen.
We break their backs, gentlemen.
A fast propeller! Bringing 180!
A destroyer!
Dive to a depth of 90 meters. Both motors are full speed!
Everything's going forward!
Close the torpedo hatch!
Twenty-one right hand steering wheel!
The right hand of the ship is twenty.
Check all stomach openings!
Whenever possible.
Passing 200 degrees.
Forty five meters. Diving quickly, Captain.
Please turn on both launchers.
Stable at 220 degrees.
Visible contacts on the right.
Stop the engine on the left.
Stop the engine to the left.
The left hand engine goes back half.
Underwater attack!
holding on!
"Tommies" explode around us! (Tommahawks = a type of underwater bomb)
Be careful, the fuel is leaking!
Stop the leak!
The submarine dropped rapidly to 120 meters, Captain.
Clear all the tanks! To the surface! Surface!
Everything is safe. Prohibition of work on the bridge!
Diesel space, answer me!
I need a damage report, Hans!
They all died, Captain. All our mechanics.
Chief mechanic, the fat boy, the whole crew. Everything is dead.
The left disposal hatch is damaged. Diesel on the left is inundated.
The engine tub is full of sea water. Diesel on the right...
it was broken 2 days ago.
- What about my battery? - Broken. 300 amp at bow, 200 stern.
This is futile!
We only have enough energy to dive and maybe for a little maneuvering.
Thank you, Hans. Spread the word to save electricity.
- Radio clerk! - Captain?
To Berlin: Locations 85-32.
Both diesel engines don't work. Only electric motors. Send help.
That's it. Hey, Andy!
Where have you been? This is a togetherness party.
I want you to meet Joanie. This is Andy Tyler.
My best friend. We went to Annapolis together.
- Nice to meet you. - I brought you a Larson cigar.
- For our next AL Submarine captain. - Thank you.
Lieutenant! Do you want to raise a few beers with the crew who have just registered later?
- Alright, Griggs. - OK.
Mr. Tyler!
My mother came to visit. Will you meet him?
Of course, Trigger.
That's the lieutenant I'm always talking about.
Lieutenant Tyler!
Hello, Prudence, Louise. Mrs. Dahlgren, Captain.
Where is your date, Andy? Unlike yourself to come alone.
Unfortunately I can't get one date in this short time, Mom.
Captain, can I talk to you?
Of course. Honey, will you allow us?
Will be back soon.
I didn't get my ship.
I know.
With all due respect, there is only one reason why that can happen...
... and that's if you hold back your recommendations.
Right. I just thought you weren't ready.
What do you mean, I'm not ready?
Sir, I have tried hard at the S-33.
I fulfill the requirements in each area and after all.
There is no executive officer who has a higher value than me.
You're just not ready to give your own command.
Now I have made a decision. Already completed.
Mr. Tyler. How are you, sir?
- Have fun? - Of course, Chief.
- How about you? - I really want to go back to work.
I'm a sea soldier. Need a little salt, sir.
He destroyed me, Chief.
Nine months on the S-33...
... do the work as well as I can.
Do everything once and then do it again...
... just to make sure I don't do any mistakes at the first time.
You will get your chance, sir. There are other orders from the Navy.
Do you know?
Don't warn me.
Not my authority, sir.
The club is secured! Time to go!
Let's go. Exit. Everything comes out.
Come on, let's go.
What does this mean, Sergeant?
- Are you an officer with a higher position? - Right. I am the XO of the S-33. (XO = Executive Officer = Implementing Officer)
These people get 48-hour leave.
No, sir, no more.
What did the gardeners do to my ship?
It looks like a Nazi submarine.
Hey, Andy. This is a good day for the Navy.
They don't want to give me five minutes to finish my marriage. Five minutes!
- What happened here? - I have no idea. Wear your hat.
Yes, sir.
- Mr. Tyler, call the crew ready. - Fine, Captain.
Stand by! Everything marches! Enter into formation now!
Come on, hurry up! Now! Formation!
Prepare a crew of three. Muster with first lieutenant.
Captain, all crew members are present and recorded, sir!
Very good. Rest on the spot.
I regret that your leave ends fast, but our schedule changes.
We have two hours to get ready to go to sea and arrange a maneuvering patrol.
Mr. Larson, order your torpedo crew to fill the tube with their 4 best topheads.
Mr. Emmett, heat the diesel engine and start charging the battery.
Mr. Tyler, we get dry supplies...
weapons and durable items are placed in the lower deck.
Gentlemen, it's our turn.
That's all.
Attention!
Fine, Captain.
- The crew is disbanded! - You hear the order! Save the load!
You have six seconds to use your uniform and turn around!
- Is this real or training? - "Now it's our turn," what does that mean?
What about our leave? What happened?
I don't know, but I will find out. Do your duty now.
For all officers who are not on duty, please report to the shipyard...
Captain Dahlgren, can you tell me what happened, sir?
Obviously we will not go to the Caribbean base.
No. We have special operations.
You will be briefed with Mr. Emmett and Mr. Larson as soon as we leave.
- Yes, sir. - Andy, listen.
I will need the best from you on this trip...
... regardless of the difference that we both have.
Do we understand each other?
- Yes, sir. - Good.
Now, look for Wentz's radio crew and quietly bring him to the equipment office.
Mr. Tyler. How are you doing, kid?
I'm fine, Admiral Duke. What brought you here?
Because of him. He is Lieutenant Hirsch. He will take your boat.
You didn't work for SubLant on this trip. Mr. Hirsch has operational control.
He is the boss. Whatever he wants, he gets.
Good.
Is he the person?
I know...
your family is from Koblentz.
A simple farming family on the Rhine river.
Do you understand my words, Mr Wentz?
Yes, sir.
Can you speak German quite well?
Can you read and write in German?
Or are you just a farmer's child...
who has a German name?
I'm just a farmer's child...
who can read, write and speak quite well.
I study German at Brown University...
before going to war.
Thank you, Wentz.
- He can do it. -Thank you, Wentz. That's all for now.
Lieutenant, prepare the ship to leave.
Good, sir.
Admiral.
Mr. Tyler, please, don't tell the others if I'm half German.
They will hate me.
Yes, of course, Wentz.
Prepare a crew of three. Muster with first lieutenant.
Task Officer Lane heads to the paint shop.
Task Officer goes to the paint shop.
Are you okay, Mr. Tyler?
Very well, Eddie. Very well.
Want to thank you for your leave.
My lover also thanks you.
You're a good person, Mr. Tyler.
His heart is in the right place.
Only need to give him a little time.
Yes, I heard what happened to you.
That is one of the advantages of visible and invisible.
You will be surprised about the things that we stole hearing.
Son, don't drop my eggs.
Damn it.
Excuse me, Mr. Tyler.
Look, all you have to do is lift them with both hands, kid!
Tyler!
When will you tell me? I heard it from the Chief.
What do you want me to say? He blocked me.
Now you will be transferred to another ship.
Excuse me.
Among those of you who can tell me where can I find an Executive Officer?
Yes, I'm the one you're looking for, man. Move your truck. Your item will be dismantled soon.
You will dismantle it now. This is the load letter.
- Place the crates on the lower deck. - Who are you really?
Major Marines Coonan, Naval Intelligence Office.
I will go to sea with you.
That's my luggage. You have a problem, talk to Mr. Hirsch.
Safe!
Remove all moorings in front!
- Release the one in front! - Pull all moorings behind.
Release the one behind!
Drive in the middle of the ship, forward with one third of the power.
Progress with one third of power!
The bridge is closed.
Engine room, secure diesel engine. Move the drive power to the battery.
Securing a diesel engine, moves the driving force to the battery.
The main induction indicates it has been closed.
- The lights are green, Captain. - OK.
Passing the 100-fathom curve. In the right direction and time, sir.
The engine room reports that the diesel engine has been secured, the driving force has been moved.
Forward with two thirds of power.
Mr. Emmett, take this boat to dive.
Dive at a depth of 150 feet, 10 degrees below the bubble.
150 feet, 10 degrees below the bubble.
Observer leader, ring the diving alarm. Submitting the news to 1MC.
- Open the main ballast tank vent. - Good, sir, deliver the news.
Diving, diving, diving.
Sir, the main ballast tank vent indicates it's open.
- Alright. Both sides dive with 15 degrees. - Both sides dive with 15 degrees.
Everything is safe!
- All decks are submerged. - All decks are submerged. Yes sir.
First time on a submarine?
Right.
Sixty feet.
Lower the telescope.
Captain, the engine room reports there is a little puddle of from the shaft cover and salt water pumping machine.
- Puddles in the stomach are 18 inches and are rising. - OK.
How deep is this ship able to dive?
He will continue to dive to the bottom if we don't stop him.
Usually we try not to be in depths below 150 feet.
If it's deeper than that, the leak floods the pump.
This submarine is very antique...
... older than most of the crew.
100 feet. OK.
Excuse me, Mr. Emmett.
Give patching pipe on it, while fastening with marline.
The workshop crew can fix it when we return to the port.
Yes, sir.
Calm down, gentlemen. This ship is indeed old, but he can survive.
Last night, at 3:00 a.m....
... The British Destroyer ships reported an underwater attack and succeeded in sinking a German submarine.
However, after a while after that...
... Search Direction Base Allies triangulate code of enemy radio signals...
... in the position here, near the chopline.
We believe the submarine has been disabled, is not drowned...
... and drift towards the east with the speed of four knots.
Now, the French resistance reports the submarine that is being prepared...
... sailing from the Lorient submarine base yesterday afternoon...
... carrying machine parts and mechanical experts.
... in the Kriegsmarine uniform into the enemy submarine.
We will take it by force and secure the Enigma.
German survivors will be moved to the S-33, and the submarine will be drowned.
German supplier submarines will arrive at the meeting place...
... and will assume that the submarine is unable to survive and sink.
Germans cannot know that we get the Enigma.
- That is very important. - So this is a race.
-Yes, you could say that. - Who is the group that will board the ship?
Because you are XO, you're the person, sir.
Mr. Emmett, Mr. Larson, Mr. Hirsch and nine crew of your ship.
The captain, of course, will remain in the S-33.
Mr. Coonan, our crew is a submarine sailor, not a combat marine.
The ship crew on the submarine also are sailors.
Your people will be ready, Lieutenant. I will train them myself.
You came on the right boat.
Okay, let's try.
You said you could fix the machine?
Captain...
I used to work in my uncle's workshop, repairing the scooter.
I tried it.
Damn it!
I need a mechanic!
What's there! Friend!
Stop! Many of us are injured!
Make us prisoners, please!
What did they say?
Help us!
They want to be our guests.
Impossible. Shoot them.
What, sir?
Commands from Fuhrer:
Does not provide assistance to survivors.
If they are found...
they will report our position.
Do it.
Help us!
We don't have...
I told you, it was more exciting than Dorothy Lamour and more beautiful body.
- Really? - Yes.
I know he's interested, but he's a classy girl, you know?
The type of girl who wants you to take him to a country dance club.
Yes, like you have just entered a country club.
Hey! Do you think I want to do it?
After all, I can see I won't be able to be with him...
... So what I did was, I used my secret weapon.
I told him about the S-26. He immediately knocks down.
Don't talk about it while we are on our way.
- Why? What happened to the S-26? - Yes, what happened?
- You don't know? - Not.
The ship is doing a diving test around Norfolk.
The closing leak failed.
The ship sank to 400 feet.
Know how much water pressure there is in that depth?
Mazzola, you will be the first person to eat egg powder on this voyage.
Keep up, do you hear?
Please enter.
Here we are, Captain. We are still fighting strong ocean currents.
I estimate we will be late about three hours from the schedule.
I ordered to move to rotate and survive in a balanced dive...
-... until we can get back the missing time. - That's good, Lieutenant.
You're the first XO, Andy.
A very good submarine marine.
I know people like you.
I will sacrifice my life for all of them, sir.
I know that. I don't question your courage.
The question is: What about their lives?
You and Mr. Emmett are good friends.
You study at the academy together.
Are you willing to sacrifice his life?
Or what about some younger enlisted ?
You know, many of them look at you like an old brother.
Are you willing to risk their lives?
Do you see? You're hesitant.
But as a captain, you must not hesitate.
You have to act.
If not, you endanger the entire crew.
Now it's a task. This is not science.
You must be able to make difficult decisions, based on incomplete information.
Asking people to carry out orders that can lead to their death.
And if you are wrong, you bear the consequences.
If you are not ready to make decisions like that...
... without pause, without reflection...
... that means you have no right to be the captain of a submarine.
Tell Mr. Hirsch I want to talk to him.
Good, sir.
- Add the soup, Captain? - Thank you.
I hope I come with you, gentlemen.
I feel the same with you, Carson.
Gentlemen, I want to suggest that we toast.
For S-33 officers and crew...
... and our distinguished guests, Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Coonan.
- Success, gentlemen! - Success.
- Captain Dahlgren, sir? - What's up, Wentz?
The chief said that we had caught the radar contact at 070 °.
Very good. Mr. Larson?
Light signals from the right direction!
I see it.
Keep this news: The submarine is seen in the right direction.
- Preparing for combat conditions. - Yes sir.
All right, we start. The last time.
Lieutenant Tyler's assembly is heading for the rear bridge. My raft is headed for the rifle crew.
And no, nobody shot before I shot first.
- Do you understand? - Yes sir.
Very good. Get ready.
Everything will be alright, kid.
Captain, I predict supplier submarines Germany has an excess speed of 14 knots.
My last description of the time of their arrival is another 12 hours, sir.
All right, Mr. Larson.
Captain, the riding group is ready, sir. Waiting for the green light from you.
I put it low in the water.
I want the submarine to see us as a silhouette as small as we can.
- sir? - Prepare to bring down the rising group.
Alright, Captain.
If this doesn't work according to plan...
... I will immediately blow up the Nazi ship.
- Understood, sir. - OK.
Everything is ready, Captain.
Now you listen to me.
You took their damn trophy and immediately out of there.
- Yes, sir. - Children will be fine.
I know, sir.
Good luck, Andy.
Good luck, Captain.
Our friend has brought us fresh eggs...
and even letters for us.
Calm down, Mr. Hirsch. We are almost here.
We will really beat them up.
Alright, we got 12 people at the top, three on the bridge...
... four on the front deck, five on the back.
Now remember: Both rafts need to be tied before we move.
Gosh. They have machine guns.
Calm down, gentlemen.
Wait for the signal.
Mr. Hirsch.
Welcome!
We have work for you.
Mr. Hirsch.
- Say hello to them, jerk. - Shut up.
Damn you, Hirsch, said something.
Which of you are mechanical?
Who is the mechanic?
We are all very skilled mechanics.
We will make you sail before dawn.
Look at this!
Who wants this garbage?
Pornography and obscene letters...
A smelly French perfume.
A bag full of real dirt.
I should throw it into the sea.
Take a ride.
Come on.
Welcome.
Aren't you from Wiesbaden?
Alarms!
- Let's move! - Ride this ship! Get out of the raft!
Repel passengers! Immediately dive!
Tower of command! Hurry up!
Secure the command tower now!
One more there!
- Griggs was shot! - Get him!
- Fast, fast! - Trigger, behind!
Griggs!
We have to enter!
Chief, Tank, get off now!
Ready?
Open it fast! Shoot!
Tyler, let's go!
Inside!
Protect your colleagues! Hurry up!
Don't let them close it. Don't let them close it!
Flood all the tanks!
Let's drown these fleas! Fast do it!
Faster! Let's dive! Let's dive!
Two, three, four, five. Closed.
Let's move. Fast! Down! Fast!
Fast, fast!
knock him out!
Don't move. Back, back!
Drop your weapon. Drop it!
Take them out of here.
- Do they hit you? - I'm fine, sir.
Team Stern, move! Tim Bow, move!
I'm out of bullets, sir. You go first.
- Rabbit! - Alright, get them out of here.
Take them out of here! Come on, quickly!
Kneeling! Kneel! Kneel!
Okay, who is the captain?
Who is the captain? Kapitan?
How about you, bad? Are you the captain?
Trigger, if someone moves, you shoot they are right on the forehead, understand?
- Yes, sir! - OK.
Hirsch, we got it.
- Kneel there! - Kneel!
Rabbit, check the hull for drowning. Give me your weapon!
- Move, sailor, move! - Yes sir!
Damn, stay there.
- Hirsch, I think we found the code book! - The color is fading. Dry it.
This book can dissolve in water. Yeah, use a blanket, use a blanket.
Nothing but pipes and valves, Mr. Emmett.
The bow of the room is secured.
A bunch of Mary.
How are you? You're number 10. This is it.
Your night is fun?
You won't be too happy if you lose this submarine.
Lucky number 11, let's go!
This is the first time you've seen a black man, right?
Get used to it.
Come on, hurry up! Come here quickly!
Okay, hurry up. The sun will rise in one hour.
- The contribution is on fire, sir. - Alright, he's on fire!
Let's hurry up and ride this raft!
Let's move!
Sir, all prisoners have been transferred to the S-33.
Very good.
Hey, Andy.
Make sure you get everything! Get on the raft!
Put everything in the lower deck. Come on, quickly!
Everything, to the lower deck! Get off quickly!
- Chief, let's dive! - Okay sir!
- Come fast, Hirsch! - The Enigma!
Trigger!
Catch the rope!
Trigger!
Good!
I got it!
Help me! Not!
- We have to leave here! - There are still people in the water.
- Let's go! - There are still people in the water.
Let's go!
Andy!
Leave!
Diving!
Take the boat to dive!
Diving!
Tyler, let's go fast!
- Chief, have you found the vent? - Everything is in German!
Rabbit, go to the torpedo room.
Where is the 1MC? Trigger, hold the wheel!
- Mazzola, hold the launcher's control! - Yes sir.
- Wentz, what about this one? - I do not know.
There is no label! Okay, that's the stern ballast tank vent!
This one vents the center of the ship, and this one is the main induction valve.
Make sure everything is closed.
Tank, I want speed!
Make the propeller spin.
The lights are on, so there must still be power left.
I can't read it!
Find out how many torpedoes there are in the tube and think about...
... how to disburse it! Go!
I can't read it!
Go and help Tank, Hirsch. Go on, Hirsch!
See if the safety lights are on.
We have to make sure there is no leak hole on the ship!
"Klar." Wentz, what does "Klar" mean?
"Klar" means "safe." All rooms are safe.
White means green? There are no holes in the ship! We dive, Chief!
- Open ballast vents! - Open the valve in the middle of the ship!
Open the ventilation center of the ship!
This is the front balancer, stern balancer. This one is complementary.
The main engine. Complementary, complementary.
Unit in meters. Everything is in meters. Exceeds 15 meters.
Advise to close the main vents!
Do it! Go to the sound room. Tell me what's out there.
Yes, sir!
- Towards a depth of 20 meters. - Depth of 20 meters, fine.
- Chief, do diving! - I do diving.
Located at 20 meters. The bow of the launcher is at zero. Control your depth with the stern launcher.
The launcher's bow is at zero. Controlling the depth with the stern launcher.
Oh, damn it. The power is maximal, sir!
The battery is leaking and quickly drains!
Mr. Tyler, I heard the S-33 was destroyed. Wait.
I heard an enemy submarine, 010 °.
Very close. Less than 1,000 yards.
Damn supplier submarine. Where are our goals?
280 °, sir!
Alright, turn the steering wheel to the right! Stay at 010 °!
Good, sir! Turn the steering wheel to the right. Stay on track 010 °.
Tank, the right side of the ship backs full speed. Rabbit, answer my order.
The right side of the ship retreats at full speed. Yes sir.
- Pay attention to your depth. Don't crash into the sea floor. - Rabbit!
We have four torpedoes. The tube is flooded.
But I can't open the door until I can equalize the pressure.
- I can't find the valve! - Wentz, help Rabbit!
The enemy submarines are getting closer.
Torpedo has been launched. Torpedo has been launched!
The order was canceled. Wentz, stay in your position!
Hirsch, hurry up to the torpedo room!
- Steering, mark every 10 degrees. - Yes sir.
- Now it exceeds 320 °. - Turn, honey, turn. Turn!
Equating valve pressure. God damn it! What the hell? This is crazy!
I can't equalize tube pressure!
- What do you need? - Equate valve pressure!
Equating valve pressure!
- Gyro! - No.
- Drainage! - No!
Now it exceeds 000 °.
Turn, bastard, turn.
Chief, be prepared in case we have to be flooded to be balanced.
- Pusher? - No.
- Differential! Differential pressure! - Turn the valve on, huh.
- Which direction? - Counter clockwise.
Torpedoes miss.
Two more torpedoes launched!
The best position for the submarine: 010 °.
Rabbit, get ready for successive shots.
Tubes one and two. Zero Gyro. Shoot!
Rabbit, shoot!
What happened?
- What is that? - There is something wrong! This torpedo is stuck!
- We forget about interlocks. - Launch the torpedo before they explode!
- Search for "driving air" or "air shooter." - The one there is a "booster"!
One, two, sliding. Next three and four tubes.
Three and four, shoot!
All torpedoes go to the target, straight as usual.
I think all the torpedoes miss, sir.
Damn.
The submarine is destroyed!
I heard the wall of the ship break.
The 33 submarine, Mr. Tyler.
Let's go upstairs and look for them survivors, Chief.
- Give me an increase on the ship's field! - Increase in the plane of the ship.
Spread the main ballast!
Oh, shit.
Please!
I'm begging you! Please!
Please!
Do you speak English?
English. Do you speak English?
What is your rank?
What are you doing?
What is your duty? Your duty.
"Task."
You're an electrician. Nice.
You can help us repair the battery.
Sir, I saw the captain.
The battery is dead.
We have spent the remaining energy when we maneuver.
What about the diesel engine?
The right one is broken. We need a dry dock to repair it.
The left diesel engine is the good news.
Whoever has Krauts can't distinguish which piston head is...
... and which breast is his sister.
I think I can fix it.
Okay, Tank.
- Do what you can. - Yes sir.
Alright. Listen to all.
We have set the direction of our goals.
We will go to England, Land's End.
That's the closest, besides France which has already been occupied.
Rabbit, how many torpedoes do we have?
Only one. It's in the stern tube, which is damaged, the air is leaking somewhere.
- sir? - Yes, what's up, Trigger?
Can't we just use the radio?
Sending signals for help and waiting for rescue?
That's impossible.
If we send a signal, the Germans will find our position and link it...
... with their two submarines missing.
If they suspect that we have the Enigma machine, they will change the whole of their coding system.
And that will completely eliminate the purpose of our mission.
Mr. Tyler...
... if we head to England...
... we will move straight from the west.
She's right. I mean, that's Jerry's backyard. (Jerry = German play)
- Listen, everything... - It's full of German submarines.
And we have nothing to defend ourselves.
Do you think I have all the answers?
Do you think I know how we will get out of this problem? I do not know.
I don't know how.
- I said we used the radio. - Nobody asks you.
- We use the radio and take our chance. - I said stop it.
- That's what the captain will do... - The captain is dead.
This is crazy.
All of this is crazy.
Endangering our lives for a typewriter.
- It's not a typewriter. - Fuck if not.
- It has buttons like typewriters. - That is not.
Whatever it is, it's crazy if we get killed by it.
The Navy says the object is important, the object is important.
The Navy says it is more important than you, he, me, it's okay.
We will die trying.
And it's not crazy. That is our duty.
What I don't understand, Chief, Why aren't you in command?
The news says Dahlgren released Tyler from the Navy too, and...
You keep that shit now, sailor.
Lieutenant Tyler is your commander, and you must respect him.
- Do you understand? - Yes, Chief.
Look at those bastards.
Do you know my father is a fisherman?
He has an old 60-footer ship that he runs all over the bay.
2 piston diesel engine that is noisy.
The ship smells very bad.
I can rub the deck three times a day, and it still smells like fish.
And I swear I will never be the captain of a ship like that, Chief.
I saw myself standing on the bridge from a warship.
An actual ship captain.
Mr. Tyler, ask permission to speak openly?
Of course, Chief.
This is the Navy...
... where a commander is great and terrible person.
Someone who should be feared and respected.
Know everything, very strong.
Don't say what you said to those kids...
... "I don't know."
The three words will kill the crew members like being attacked with sea mines.
You are the captain now...
... and the captain always knows what to do , no matter if he knows or not.
- Airplane from the left bow! - Damn it!
Sorry, sir. The plane appears suddenly from the cloud.
Rabbit, Trigger, gets ready in an air deterrent weapon.
Good, sir.
That's a German plane. Looks like I'm doing a surveillance.
What did the plane do here?
- Gosh, he came. - OK. Get ready.
What he knows, we are on the same side. Everyone waved.
waving?
Sir, we're here easy targets. We can shoot and blow them up.
Our shot missed, he will report us.
The plane is not the only problem for us.
This is crazy. You will get us killed.
He plays back. He turned back.
He will attack! Rabbit, do something!
Shut up. Rabbit, don't mind him.
Do something!
He came to us! He comes right to us! Do something!
- Answer me, Parker! - What are you waiting for?
- Shoot him! - Parker, I order you!
Don't fire that weapon! Remove your finger from the trigger!
Pull the trigger! Pull the trigger!
We will die! Do it!
Come on! Damn, can't you see it?
What are you doing?
This is not democracy!
Mr. Tyler, I saw the mast on the horizon!
Damn it! That's a Nazi destroyer.
The plane must have been reconnaissance for the ship.
Clear the platform! Chief, secure the diesel engine and immerse the ship!
Dive the ship! Yes sir!
We don't get the green light. The engine room is not ready.
Ventilation won't open, we lose hydraulic pressure.
Tank, secure the diesel engine and prepare the engine room for diving!
Tank, answer!
Fuck! Mazzola, go and see what happened there.
Drop it, you damn Nazi! Drop it!
Damn it.
I'm sorry, Mr. Tyler.
He knocked me down.
Listen to me. You have to secure the diesel engine.
And find out why the vent valve won't open. Now!
- Yes, sir. - Damn it!
Eddie, get this *** out. Chain him to bed.
Make sure your hands and feet are tightly chained. Let him starve to submit!
- Lieutenant, we have a problem! - Take care of that, Eddie.
Oh, damn it.
Tell the Tank to complete the repair. The destroyer sent the school.
He took five minutes, Mr. Tyler!
We don't have five minutes, Chief.
Lieutenant, the deck cannon, if we shoot below the surface of the sea...
That won't work.
No, the ship can hold 100 shots.
What we need is an active torpedo, which we don't have.
Trigger, get ready in an air deterrent weapon.
Based on my orders, change the lifeboat into floating wood.
Yes, sir.
They will know who we are in 60 seconds.
Trigger, are you ready in the weapon?
Chief, tell Tank, he has one minute...
... and order Wentz and Rabbit here with a machine gun.
What happens when they know we are not German?
After they destroy us, they will tell their headquarters via radio.
They will tell you that Enigma is in danger.
What if we broadcast their radio, before they tell anyone about us?
- How? - With deck cannons.
This shot is indeed difficult, but we can do it.
Then we dive quickly, and we move quickly below them.
We are fishing them to get closer to the land, is within the reach of the Allied air force.
- Then we call an air strike. - Yes, we call air strikes.
The bastard cut the pressure on the hydraulic.
Let's find a stop valve.
Damn it!
Do you see the upper structure with that big antenna that sticks out?
- Yes, sir. - That is the radio room.
You, Wentz, get ready on the deck cannon.
Based on my orders, shoot the side of the ship.
- Do it, gentlemen. Do it. - Yes sir!
Hello, gentlemen. Help us with the rope.
Sure.
What did they do?
Something's wrong.
Tell them to leave, Mr. Hirsch.
Return to the ship!
Faster!
Report to me, Rabbit!
The deck of manned weapons and is fully ready, sir!
Shoot!
Clear the deck!
Destroy their front cannon! They shoot!
Who, sir?
The submarine. They blow up our radio tower!
- Alright. - Come on!
Diving! Dive!
Come on. Why don't we dive?
The repair isn't done yet, sir.
Eddie, handle the launch control.
- Tank, advance at full speed. - Yes sir!
Handle launch control!
Progress at full speed, good!
Good shot, Rabbit. The radio has been destroyed.
Come on.
- We are heading right at them. - Right.
Their deck cannons can't hit us if our distance is close enough.
Let's hope we can dive and pass them.
That's it.
Hydraulic pressure is fixed!
Thank you, Tank. It's done. We will dive.
Beyond five meters.
Beyond ten meters.
Fifteen meters.
Twenty meters.
Trigger, aim the steering wheel to the left.
Tanks, advancing at a speed of two thirds.
Contact maneuvers.
Heavy cavitation.
- Sparks. - Damn.
Short intervals.
Prepare an attack. Set depth to 25.
Stay away from the wall, Mr. Hirsch.
Shock waves from explosions can break your spine.
Chief...
... Have you ever experienced an underwater attack?
Once, outside Murmansk...
... used to be during World War I.
One attack was so close, broke four Captain's teeth.
Not at all close enough.
Control, the right engine is totally damaged.
- The German must have ruined it. - Damn.
There's no way we can reach the reach of the Allied air force if it crawls on one machine.
Eddie, help Chief.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Chief, I got it.
Tank, are you still alive?
Yes, sir.
Good. To the left at a rate of two thirds.
To the left at a speed of two thirds. Yes sir.
Tank...
... can you fix the stern tube?
I don't know, Mr. Tyler.
I didn't hear the answer "I don't know."
Can you fix the torpedo tube? Yes or no?
Yes, sir. I think I can.
Thank you, Tank.
Chief, dive to a depth of 160 meters.
That's more than 500 feet.
Take us down, Chief.
Good, sir.
160 meters.
Dive with twenty degrees, both launch controls.
Dive with twenty degrees, good, sir.
Mr. Tyler, sir...
... are you planning to face the a destroyer...
... with only one torpedo in the tube and a broken machine?
Yes, Eddie.
- Is your plan wise enough, Lieutenant? - Not too.
But look at this. Chief.
There's no way a submarine has a speed of 2 knots...
... can get a shooting position facing a destroyer with a speed of 30 knots unless we dive deeper.
At a depth of 160 meters...
... we can shoot out some garbage from the front tube.
This will surface and will create a stretch of debris.
This destroyer will go to the center the stretch of debris...
... turn off the engine to shut up...
... and doing an acoustic search to ensure that we are dead.
But we don't die. Look, we are here...
... on our way up to to the periscope depth.
Alright, the principle of speed increase.
Our positive buoyancy pulls us up and away from the destroyer.
And when we are on the surface, we will show our stern at a distance of 700 yards.
It's a perfect plan to shoot from behind on a stationary target.
Boom. There are no better results than this.
All right, Mr. Tyler.
Beyond 130 meters.
Very good.
Rabbit, I want you to put Mazzola's body into a triple tube...
... and put on his life jacket to make sure he floats.
Shoot it out like garbage?
His body will save our lives.
I will say a few words to him.
Hirsch, go with Rabbit. Eddie, can you handle both launch controls?
Yes, sir.
- Tyler. - Yes.
If you can't destroy the destroyer...
... the danger is not that some of us might die.
But some of us may live.
They have seen and heard things...
... which should not be revealed to the enemy.
Our secrets...
... like our radar capabilities...
... and our understanding of German encryption.
If we are captured by the Germans alive, we will be tortured mercilessly.
Is that you succeeded in sinking the ship ...
... or you have to make sure that none of us survive...
... to be arrested.
We entrust our soul to God...
... and surrender his body to the depths of the ocean.
Mr. Tyler, winding contact.
Sparks.
Contacts are getting closer.
More sparks.
Tanks, get ready to pump puddles engine room hulls into the sea.
Yes, sir.
Rabbit...
... fire the tube.
Goodbye, Mazzola.
They set the attack too shallow.
Secure the air valve!
Chief, what's our depth?
160 meters.
Zero on launch control.
Splash!
They are too close together!
I can't count them.
Chief...
... take us to a depth of 200 meters.
We will be under the attack.
Chief...
... take us to a depth of 200 meters.
Good, sir.
Heading to a depth of 200 meters.
Diving with ten degrees, both launch controls.
Diving with ten degrees. OK.
170 meters.
Tanks...
... what is the status of the stern torpedo tube?
There are some things that are wrong. I can operate the barrel door...
... but I'm still working on the driving air.
180 meters.
Mr. Tyler, the depth meter here shows 180 meters.
Thank you, Tank. I know.
Keep working.
190 meters.
200 meters.
- Zero on launch control. - Zero on launch control, fine.
Gosh.
The Krauts really know how to make a ship.
Chief, bring us up!
- Negative slowdown! Launcher full ride! - Clockwise, Hirsch!
- Rabbit, help me! - Fast! Fast!
Chief, did you see this?
The needle exceeds the scale! We have to take out the main ballast tank!
Do it, Chief!
- The ship is still down! - The ballast tank is empty!
I will try to take out the counterweight tank!
Come on, come on!
His ship rises to the top! The ship goes upstairs!
Mr. Tyler, we move up.
But I have lost control of the ballast tank.
I can't stop our increase.
What about our stern torpedoes?
The pipe is broken.
There is detention in the air lane, so there is no pressure to launch a torpedo.
I tried to cut the leak, but the location was under the puddle of the hull.
It is not possible to achieve it. I can't enter it.
- Can other people achieve it? - I do not know.
Maybe someone smaller.
Rabbit or Trigger.
Reaching 200 meters.
You have to choose one.
Trigger.
Trigger, go to the stern with the Tank.
Move, kid. You got the assignment to do.
Look, we don't get air pressure to fire a torpedo.
One of these pipes is damaged and the air is leaking.
- How will I find it? - You will see lots of bubbles coming out.
Find the isolation valve behind the leak and turn it down.
- Understood? - Yes.
I have prepared this hose so you can breathe.
Now listen to me. Once done, you come out of there.
- OK? - Yes.
I can hear it.
Make a slow bend.
He just stopped the propeller.
I think they saw the rubble.
I think they believe it.
180 meters.
Chief, can you slow down our increase? We are not ready.
You can't, sir.
We can only move up.
If we surface without a torpedo to fire, we will die.
There are two air leaks.
I closed one, but the other is too far behind.
I need a longer hose to reach it.
- Only this long. - Damn.
150 meters.
I heard Morse code.
What's wrong? Did they send a signal to us?
What does it say, Wentz?
"I'm U-571. Destroy me..."
Reaching 90 meters.
Sir, he starts the engine again.
You can't, Mr. Tyler. He can't reach it.
Trigger, in one minute we will appear on the surface. Do you understand?
Now you have to go back there and try it.
I won't ask if our lives don't depend on it.
- Sorry, sir. Can't reach it. - No, Trigger.
Now listen to me.
You can achieve it, and you will achieve it.
- Now you will close the valve. - I can not!
You're the only chance we have.
Now you will come back down to the ship's hull...
... and you will do your job, sailor.
Report to me as soon as the torpedo is ready to be fired.
Yes, sir.
Thirty meters.
- Talk to me, Wentz. - The destroyer ship moves.
Move straight. They approach our position.
Damn it! Come on, Trigger!
Twenty meters.
Hang in there. We will surface.
Take out the telescope.
I see it.
He is heading right at us.
- Steering, to the right of 10 degrees. - Yes sir!
- Observe your bow launch control. - Yes sir. Observe the control of my bow launcher.
Tank, turn on the diesel engine. Progress at full speed!
The left diesel engine advances with full speed!
Damn, they have locked us up.
Attack coming!
We got shot!
- Wentz, come here! - Eddie, secure the door to the door!
The tube is still not ready!
- Request permission to leave the ship! - It's not time, Chief.
Full, stern torpedoes are fully ready!
Maintain our position here.
- Maintain our position here. - Stay on 80 degree pads!
Shoot!
Tank, shoot now or we die!
Come on, come on.
Torpedo!
The torpedo detonates the boat in two.
Fuck, sir Tyler, if you feel needs a chief...
... I will go to sea with you anytime.
Thank you, Chief.
Tank, are you okay?
Trigger sinks.
The kid doesn't give up, huh?
Likewise with you, Mr. Tyler.
We can't keep this ship for much longer, sir.
Let's leave the ship.
