"BILL PAXTON:" "I believe things can happen of such an intensity that they do resonate through time, create, like, an echo." "The story of the Titanic is very personal to each person who hears it, almost like a biblical story." "This giant ship, all these people in the middle of the ocean at night, this iceberg, the warnings." "What would it have been like to be there on that fateful night?" "I knew Jim was going to go back to the Titanic." "He had talked about it." "He wanted to take another expedition since he had made the film." "He had invited me in passing." "But I guess I didn't really seriously consider" "I would actually go." " Hello!" " Hello!" " You speak English?" " (SPEAKING RUSSIAN)" "Great." "I'm looking for my room." "My cabin." "(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)" "Oh, thank you." "Thank you, thank you, thank you." "But then, when he actually said," ""No, I really want you to come along and experience it"" ""for yourself and just take it all in."" "I had to go." "Leave my past" "Leave my home" "I'll find my way" "To the great unknown" "PAXTON:" "The Keldysh is the largest scientific research vessel in the world." "And all the activity onboard is focused on the Mirs and what they have to accomplish at the bottom of the ocean." "(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCING OVER PA)" "PAXTON:" "They take their work extremely seriously." "Everything is checked and rechecked, just like a space mission." "But like the shore finds the ocean" "Like the night finds the day" "I'll find an answer to these questions" "Far away" "Far away" "Oh!" "My name is Lewis Abernathy." "I'm an underwater explorer." "I got them all." "I have been trying to thumb a ride down to Titanic for probably 10 years now." "What do you got for me, Lew?" "We got bots, slimy bots, and "A" deck, "B" deck, "C" deck." "Where do you wanna start?" "Huge rusticles, like this big around." "My name is Lori Johnston." "My position was as a microbiologist, looking at the rusticles." "The idea that she spiraled down, spitting objects." "My name is Charles Pellegrino." "I was one of the historians and biologists on the expedition." "We tend to think of it in 21st-century eyes." "I'm Don Lynch, and I studied the Titanic based upon the testimony and accounts of passengers and crew." "The people who were there and actually witnessed it." "My name is Ken Marschall." "I've been studying the Titanic for over three decades now." "I checked it out." "The Straus suite." "Through all those years and study," "I've sort of become a visual historian about the ship and her structure and appearance." "PAXTON:" "It was an amazing expedition in terms of all of the state-of-the-art technology and engineering we were using, in terms of the camera system." "The ROVs were amazing." "On the cutting edge of technology." "JAMES CAMERON:" "Just try to keep the light in right where I've gone in." "I'm gonna explore these cabins." "There is no script." "We don't know what we're gonna see." "We don't know what we're gonna encounter." "PAXTON:" "The crucial thing about deep-sea photography is lighting." "Just come up over and light all this business down in here." " You see what I mean?" " Yeah." "PAXTON:" "So we had a sister ship on the expedition called the Eas." "The Eas had this giant lighting chandelier called Medusa." "The theory was, basically, to lower the chandelier down over the wreck and do this overlighting, almost like moonlight." "There was no manual for any of this." "Nobody had ever combined this many elements into a single-dive operation before at these depths." "We were pushing the limits of technology, which was a little eerie given the fate of the ship we had come to explore." "LYNCH:" "This is where it all happened." "It could be any other part of the ocean, but there's something special about knowing this is the spot and the wrecks down there." "PAXTON: "Monday, August 20, 2001."" ""Tomorrow morning we will descend two and a half miles"" ""into the cow, dark netherworld"" ""and see Titanic for ourselves"" ""as she lies broken on the seafloor."" ""How do you prepare for such an experience?"" "CAMERON:" "Okay." "Dive one." "It's gonna be J.B. and Bill in Mir II, and me and Vince in Mir I." "Pilots are gonna be Genya Chernaiev Mir II," "Anatoly Sagalevitch, Mir I." "PAXTON:" "Okay." "Here's your checklist." "Have your last will and testament in order, make sure your insurance is paid up, write a final note to your family." "These are the kind of things you think about." "Next stop, Titanic." "Happy hunting." "CAMERON:" "Let's rock and roll." "The moment of truth." "See you in the sunshine." "PAXTON:" "To get in a three-man submersible and descend 12,500 feet down into the bottom of the North Atlantic, it just was a little more..." "Maybe a little more adventure than I wanted." " Oxygen?" " Yeah." "That's good." "Yeah." "Be sure to turn that on." "Yeah, I can see how you get kind of queasy sitting up here." "(INDISTINCT VOICES ON RADIO)" "Look at the colors change." "(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)" "Boy, that's fast." "This tells you the oxygen up here, right?" "Yes." "So it's at 21." "That's good." "Now, it that gets below, what, 19, then it's..." "What's the number you watch for?" "It's 19." "It's good also." "It's good." "Yes." "But if it gets below what?" "Does the battery sound okay to you?" "It sounds kind of sluggish like that?" " That's normal?" " Yes." "Yes, it's normal." "Now, if you have a real emergency and everything fails," "I heard something about, you can disengage, drop the main battery?" "Just..." "Yes, we have many possibilities." "I hope we never drop battery, because it's very expensive." "How much?" "It's $250,000, I think." "I mean, would you take a check?" " 2,000 meters?" " Yes. 2,000." "(SIGHS)" "(CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY)" "That's pretty deep." "Mir I, Mir I, this is Mir II." "What is your depth?" "Over." "Mir II, Mir II, this is Mir I." "Depth is 3,353 meters." "See you on the bottom." "Jim out." "I see bottom." "It's bottom." "PAXTON:" "Oh, yeah." "CHERNAIEV:" "You see it?" "PAXTON:" "Yeah." "Just barely." "Bottom of the ocean." "Look at that." "Look at that." "It looks like the dark side of the moon." "PAXTON:" "It wasn't just the idea of putting your faith in these little submarines and going to the bottom of the sea." "There's these thousands of tons of pressure against you." "But where we were going, where we were going." "We'll see more debris as we go." "There's a piece right there." "Yeah, look." "There's some china." "See the china?" "Yeah, we got her." "You want to see Titanic on the sonar?" "Check this out." "You're gonna love this." " It's, like, there she is, baby." " Oh, man." "CAMERON:" "Okay." "50 meters straight ahead." "Bill, it's the bow." "PAXTON:" "Oh, look at that." "Oh, God." "There it is." "What a sight." "What a sight!" "So Medusa is lighting it up." "Look at that." "Oh, man." "Oh, now you get a sense of the size of this thing." "My God!" "This was the Titanic." "This is the fabled liner that lies in it's grave at the bottom of the North Atlantic." "You approach it with incredible reverence." "Bill, it is bow anchor." "Oh, God." "It's port side in good conditions." "Man, that is incredible." "Look at that." "Look at that!" "It's dug in all the way up to the anchor." "Oh, it's amazing just to be floating above it." "Gosh, you could just reach out and touch it." "We're near the anchor crane." "It's right there." "See it?" "Look." "Right here." "Right here." "Okay." "Oh, yes." "I knew we were gonna get close to Titanic, but not this close." "The experience of being in one of the submersibles is almost like an astral projection." "And the way you float around it, it really is an ethereal, kind of ghostly experience." "CHERNAIEV:" "We're here." "It's Hatch Number One." "PAXTON:" "Oh, yeah." "Look." "You can see right down the cargo hatch." "Boy, it just falls into just a black well." "Oh, there's the crow's-nest door right there." "They climbed up inside the mast to get out to the crew's nest." "That's where Fleet stood." "Right there." "Right there when he saw the iceberg." "(BELL DINGING)" "MAN:" "Iceberg right ahead!" "PAXTON:" "You see the..." "It looks like the port electric crane." "What is that?" "Yeah, it's a gate." "CHERNAIEV:" "Yes, it's gate." "Yes." "PAXTON:" "Closed gate." "Officers locked that to keep the steerage passengers down below decks." "Of course, I'd have been just climbing over that thing." "Oh, God." "So that's right where the bridge was." "And there's the telemotor." "The helm." "The helm of the ship." "Try to imagine what it must have been like to be on the bridge that night." "First Officer William Murdoch is on duty." "Quartermaster Hichens at the wheel." "That split-second decision Murdoch had to make." " (BELL DINGING)" " MAN:" "Iceberg right ahead!" "PAXTON:" "He can go left or he can go right." "(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY" "Quickly!" "PAXTON:" "Murdoch is suddenly staring an iceberg right down the barrel." "Murdoch knows how many passengers are onboard, how few lifeboats there are, what grave danger the ship is in." "Golly." "That is history right there." "We are touching the legend." "Darkness, darkness" "Be my pillow" "Take my hand" "And let me sleep" "Wow." "Just like a cliff just falling in the abyss." "In the coolness" "Of your shadow" "In the silence" "Of your deep" "(INDISTINCT VOICES ON RADIO)" "Oh!" "Oh!" "(GROANS)" "(INDISTINCT VOICES ON RADIO)" "SERGEI:" "Hello, again." " Hello, Sergei." " (CHUCKLING)" "Whoo." "SERGEI:" "Welcome to Keldysh." "(PANTING)" "Quite a ride." "If the bow is so dug in, you just don't get that depth." "And seeing that wall going all the way down and falling into nothing, even just with the Mir II's lights, really was like, "Holy cow." "This thing is so big."" "PAXTON:" "What exciting work." "We were exploring the Titanic with new technologies and these incredible new cameras." "Have you ever been in any kind of sub before?" " Only at Disneyland." " (LAUGHING)" " This is different." " Very different." "(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)" "Good luck." "See you later." "These dives, every one is so precious." "And I want to make sure we pack as much information, visually and historically, as I can possibly get into these eyeballs." "Ha!" "Ha!" "Ha!" "PAXTON:" "You know, you have historians, scientists." "It was a great camaraderie." "I screamed like a girl the whole time." "Crying like a kid?" "(LAUGHS) Cried like a baby." "PAXTON:" "The ROVs were fascinating." "Initially they were called Bot 1 and Bot 2." "But ultimately they were named Jake and Elwood." "My name is Mike Cameron." "I'm the ROV creator." "The vehicle is not unlike a little creature." "It's got a brain." "It's got a computer onboard." "It's got eyes in a couple cameras up front." "It's got this character about it that's alive." "PAXTON:" "The real revolutionary part is the fiber-optic spool." "It's like a spider spinning out it's own silk." "CAMERON:" "Come in here, explore these rooms, come back out." "PAXTON:" "If these bots worked like we were hoping they would, we could go through the entire ship." "The bots are finally going to Titanic." "Three years in the making." "PAXTON:" "Mir I, Mir I, Jake's just coming out of his hooch." "Over." "CAMERON:" "Here he comes." "He's out." "PAXTON:" "I think we were so intent on watching the screens." "Very quickly, I forgot where I was." "The ROV had just unconsciously become our eyes." "This is what it's all about." "Cruising around at 12,000 feet." "CAMERON:" "Jeff, Jeff, stand by." "We're about to launch Bot 1, AKA Elwood." "Sight enabler." "Com link." "Camera power." "All right." "I think we're ready to fly." "Elwood's coming out." "Pretty cool." "Looking good, Elwood." "Tell them to go ahead." "We'll meet in the center of the grand staircase." "LEDDA:" "We're gonna meet in the center of the grand staircase." "PAXTON:" "Copy that." "MARSCHALL:" "The grand staircase on Titanic was, in my opinion, the most beautiful feature of the ship." "And the dome, the wrought-iron dome overhead, was just beautiful." "It's really a blessing that this staircase did break apart and float out, because it allows easy access to the interior of the ship." "What's Elwood's 20?" "CAMERON:" "Right above you." "Getting ready to start our descent." "Over." "PAXTON:" "We knew the beauty of the grand staircase was gone." "But no one knew what we'd find deep inside the ship." "MARSCHALL:" "Continue down one." "You're crossing the floor of "B" deck right now." "You're looking into "C" deck right now." " Do not go into "C" deck." " Awaiting instructions." "CAMERON: "C" deck. "D" deck." "There's "D" deck." "MAN:" "Stand by there, Jeff." "Your first move would be to enter "D" deck." "LEDDA:" "Roger that." "Okay, this is so much like flying a helicopter." "Okay." "Tell him to move ahead slow." "Move ahead slow." "Moving ahead slow." "Looks like Carlsbad Caverns in there." "Tell him to move real, real, real, real easy." "Move real, real, real, real easy." "Real easy." "Moving real easy." "God!" "We are inside the Titanic." " CAMERON:" "Tell him to slow down." " I still can't get over it." "CAMERON:" "Slow down." "Stop and smell the roses." "PAXTON:" "Copy that." "I still can't believe that we're actually here." "Making the turn." "CAMERON:" "It's getting a little skinny right in here." "That's too close to the bottom." "Tell them to come up." "MAN:" "Come up a bit." "You're too close to the bottom." "PAXTON:" "Copy that." "CAMERON:" "Oh!" "Boy, this is nerve-racking." "There's something there." "See what that is?" "Windows, windows." "Dining-room windows." " We're going for the window." " We're going for the windows." "Tell them to get as close as you can to that window and make a close examination, just very, very, very slowly." "PAXTON:" "Look at that." "Look at that." "Oh, boy!" "Beautiful." "Still intact." "Very much intact." "Looks like the glass, all the leaded glass, it's all there." "It's not broken." "LYNCH:" "The first-class dining room was beautiful." "Among the passengers who ate here were John Jacob Astor and his wife, Madeleine, who were on their honeymoon." "She would be widowed before the end of the voyage." "CAMERON:" "It's like a fantasy in here, isn't it?" "MARSCHALL:" "The craftsmanship." "The delicate beauty." "That human hands created these windows, that human eyes looked at these windows." "And then you realize that you're 12,500 feet beneath the sea." "CAMERON:" "Oh, look at that woodwork." "That's all wood, Genya." "That's all carved wood." "MARSCHALL:" "But these things created by man, in this dark abyss, where they just shouldn't be." "They're not supposed to be here." "CAMERON:" "Unbelievable." "Who would've thought that would still be there?" "It's the dream come true for me." "LYNCH:" "What's significant about the reception room is that this is where Elizabeth Lines overheard a conversation between Captain Smith and Bruce Ismay, the owner of the Titanic." "And she heard Ismay telling Smith to have the Titanic arrive in New York a day early." "I think we're going to beat Olympic's time and arrive in New York Tuesday night." "PAXTON:" "We're holding at the first-class entrance, starboard side." "Isn't that beautiful?" "Gosh." "It looks like it's just been made more beautiful by time." "MARSCHALL:" "Titanic's main first-class entrance was on "D" deck." "And she had two large gangway doors on both the port and the starboard side." "Through the eyes of the ROV, we could see the wrought-iron gates just inside the doors, which were unknown to historians until this expedition." "We had no idea what was inside those doors, and now we know." "CAMERON:" "This is the way they boarded the ship." "They came in through that door, and then they came in through this inner door." "There's the elevators." "There's the shaft." "Look at that." "Like you could just call them now." "Okay." "I see where we are." "We just peeked into "D" 35." "PAXTON:" "We were methodical exploring the interior." "We had to be because the wreck can be very disorienting." "It was spooky." ""D" 33 was the cabin of Henry Sleeper Harper and his wife." "Sitting on top of the remains of the wardrobe cabinet is Henry Harper's bowler hat." "Just the idea that we know whose it was." "CAMERON:" "Hey, look." "There's some kind of glass." "Maybe a mirror." "Let's see if that's a mirror." " Sure looks like it." " It is." "We're gonna go see ourselves." "PAXTON: "A" 11 was occupied by Edith Russell." "Before getting into a lifeboat she went back to her cabin to lock her 19 trunks because she didn't trust the stewards onboard." "MIKE:" "Jim was looking for Molly Browns stateroom." "We had a pretty good idea where that stateroom would be." "And he was searching for a forward-facing window." "The ROV is narrow enough to scoot right through that." "MIKE:" "And I saw there was jagged glass at the bottom of the windowsill." "That could sever the tether, commit suicide." " Ken Marschall says we can do this." " MARSCHALL:" "It's a gamble." "Don't do it." "Don't do it." "You're gonna be laying your tether right across the glass." "MARSCHALL:" "There he goes." "He's in there." " That's what I'm talking about." " Not bad." "MIKE:" "Okay, now that you're in, it's not that bad of an idea." "CAMERON:" "That's not a brass bed." "That's a wooden bed." "It's kind of creepy." "I don't know." "Molly Brown said she was in a brass bed." "I don 't see a brass bed." "PAXTON:" "Molly Brown was a character." "She and her husband had made their fortune mining out west." "And she was desperate to be accepted by high society." "The Titanic tragedy made her a legend." "Point your lights straight into "A" deck." "My God." "Look at that." "Look at that, Tolya." "A brass bed sitting right in there." "Maybe Molly Brown did stay in a brass bed." "But which one?" "ABERNATHY:" "They've built bigger ships since Titanic, but I don't know that they'll ever build one as luxurious." "And even now, after 90 years of laying on the bottom of the ocean, it's beauty came to light." "MARSCHALL:" "We are in the room." "LEDDA:" "Jake's in the room." "CAMERON:" "This is Bruce Ismay's suite." "This is the guy that left the ship with 1,500 people still onboard." "Oh, that's a beauty." "LEDDA:" "We are in the sitting room, looking at the fireplace." "CAMERON:" "Isn't that amazing?" "That ribbon design is still there." "These little touches of elegance." "You can almost feel the hands of the guy that made that." "LYNCH:" "J. Bruce Ismay was managing director of the White Star Line, and he vetoed the idea of having 48 lifeboats." "He felt that fewer would be fine, that as long as they met the law, they were okay." "CHERNAIEV:" "It is Smith's bathtub." "ABERNATHY:" "Oh, Captain Smith." "Wow." "The captain of the Titanic used to take his baths right there." "Hts little pink butt sitting right there in the tub." "PAXTON:" "Captain Smith was called "the millionaires captain"" "because he was so popular with the first-class passengers." "Thirty years at sea." "Perfect record." "This voyage was to he his crowning achievement." "He was going to take the biggest most beautiful ship the world had ever seen across the ocean on her maiden voyage and then retire." "PELLEGRINO:" "In archeology, we carry these ghosts of the imagination with us." "And I was kind of imagining" "Thomas Andrews out there on the deck." "MARSCHALL:" "Thomas Andrews was managing director and president of Harland and Wolff Shipbuilders." "He designed and built the Titanic from the ground up." "He knew the ship better than anyone." "Andrews cared about the ship and crew and was onboard to make a lot of last-minute improvements and to make sure everything ran smoothly." "PELLEGRINO:" "If only there were a way to let him see these submersibles sending these incredible robots into his creation." "MARSCHALL:" "We explored all three forward cargo hatches and made it into several crew and third-class spaces that had never even been photographed before." "CAMERON:" "Yeah, we should be able to get all the way forward." " Are you in?" " Yes." "CAMERON:" "Oh, baby." "Count doors on the right." "That's how we'll orient ourselves." "There should be two doors side by side." "The first door should take you into the firemen's mess." "That's definitely the firemen's mess." "Oh, look at that." "Table alter table." "You can imagine exactly what this place looked like." "LYNCH:" "The firemen were segregated from the rest of the crew, probably because they had the dirtiest job." "So their quarters are all in the very tip of the bow." "They had two circular staircases, which took them down to the very bottom of the ship and to the boiler rooms." "PAXTON:" "Imagine spiraling your way down to the furnaces of this hungry leviathan to join hundreds of men shoveling coal into the gaping maws of the boilers." "That's kind of spooky." "(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY" "PAXTON:" "That is the starboard engine." "Look at that." "Oh, man!" "Look at the size of that thing." "Okay, keep panning, because I'm gonna be coming around this way." "Oh, man." "It does give you the scale, seeing that little bot next to that giant sphinx of an engine." "PAXTON:" "When you see the stern section where it tore in half, and there are the two reciprocating engines standing four stones high, they really do look like these twin sphinxes that are guarding, you know, the forbidden tomb." "JOHNSTON:" "When the historians look at Titanic, they think of the lives that were lost." "When I look at the ship as a scientist," "I look at the life that still is on Titanic." "Titanic is very much alive." "Rusticles are bacteria, microscopic organisms, bugs, that are actually eating the steel and the insides of the ship." "I look at a rail and think, "Oh, look at the bacteria."" ""They're breaking Titanic down and taking her back to nature."" "But then you immediately go back and think," ""Who touched this railing last?"" "PELLEGRINO:" "Helen Candee is one of my favorite passengers." "She had written one of the century's first best-sellers." "Basically, the theme being how a woman can get along in life successfully without a man." "And that's how she was traveling first-class on the Titanic." "And on the very last sunrise that the Titanic would ever see, she snuck out to the very point of the bow just to greet the sunrise alone." "And she wrote about it and how she felt the power and the beauty of this ship and that it was stronger than nature itself, maybe even stronger than God itself." "And then, suddenly, she felt very darkened, as if she had thought something sacrilegious." "It's good." "What's in borscht?" "(SINGING IN RUSSIAN)" "Cabbage, potatoes, bouillon." "Everybody eat borscht." "It is very good." "ABERNATHY:" "I was pretty calm going down." "As a matter of fact, we saw, in my porthole, there was this woman's shoe." "It was perfectly preserved." "And it was laced up." "You know, I was just like, "Oh, my God"." "That's somebody's grave marker." "That's the only grave marker they have." "You see now that we are coming to the davit." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Davit Number One." "LYNCH:" "This was Lifeboat One, where Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon had escaped with only 10 other people in a lifeboat that could have held two dozen more." "The law of the sea is women and children first when you go to evacuate a ship." "For the time being," "I shall require only women and children." "LYNCH:" "On the port side of the ship, Second Officer Lightoller took it to mean women and children only, and he only let women and children into the boats, and then as few crewmen as possible to navigate it." "Please!" "Daddy!" "Don't you worry." "CAMERON:" "Working on the other side, here's Murdoch, getting the boats in the water as quick as he can, shoving men and women, children, first-class, third-class." "He didn't care." " May I get in the boat?" " I wish you would." "Yes, ma'am." "In you go." "Lower away!" "CAMERON:" "Almost 2/3 of everyone who survived have Murdoch to thank for it." "MARSCHALL:" "Moving into the "A" deck promenade with the ROV, it really looked familiar." "Along, sweeping, open deck." "Half of it was open." "The forward end was enclosed by large glass windows." "CAMERON:" "This is right where they walked, you know?" "John Jacob Astor put Madeleine Astor into the lifeboat right through one of those windows right there." "LYNCH:" "Because she was pregnant, he asked Second Officer Lightoller..." "May I accompany my wife?" "No, sir." "Women and children only." "Come on." "Here, darling." "Take these." "LYNCH:" "And so he told her he'd be seeing her in New York." "No, sir." "Step aside." "LYNCH:" "You think of the band in terms of how heroic they were." "They stood and played, knowing that everyone else was getting into a lifeboat except them." "But how calming that band music was to the people who were onboard." "CAMERON:" "Okay." "This right over here should be the Marconi Room." "MARSCHALL:" "Everyone knows the important role that the Marconi wireless played that night." "Senior Marconi Wireless Operator Jack Phillips and Junior Operator Harold Bride worked in tandem until the very end." "You should try SOS." "It's the new signal." "Yes, it might be our last chance to use it." "MARSCHALL:" "During the final moments of the sinking, the ship's power was becoming unstable." "Harold Bride was in the Silent Room, trying to compensate for this loss of power." "To our great astonishment are the handles, the settings still visible on these two field regulators." "They are in the final settings that this man manipulated." "MAN:" "Hey, that's better!" "MARSCHALL:" "They have the human touch to them." "MAN:" "Pull!" "Pull together!" "PAXTON:" "Many of the boats had been launched half-full." "Return to the ship!" " Boat 6!" "Return." " We need to go back!" "MAN:" "No!" "It's our lives now." "Now, row!" "The suction will pull us down if we don't keep going." "ABERNATHY:" "Titanic was a stage where God says," ""You have two and a half hours to act out the rest of your life."" ""What are you gonna be?"" ""Will you be a hero?" "Will you be a coward?"" "Time for one more hand." " Poker." "Five card draw." " (GLASS BREAKING)" "(CREAKING)" "ABERNATHY:" ""Would you fight to survive?"" ""Would you take your place meekly with the people"" ""that were relegated to the third-class spaces"" ""and wait patiently until someone unlocks a gate"" ""and lets you free?"" " Help us!" " ABERNATHY: "What would you do?"" " Please!" " ABERNATHY: "How would you act?"" "I think it's fortunate that most of us will never be put to that test." "MAN:" "Any more women or children?" "Anyone else, men?" "Anyone else?" "Quickly!" "Quickly, men, quickly!" "Prepare to lower!" "Ready on the left?" "CAMERON:" "Bruce Ismay." "He's the guy who was responsible." "And yet he did survive, when others died." "Right and left together!" "PAXTON:" "I don't know which man would've felt worse that night." "Bruce Ismay, for vetoing more lifeboats, or Thomas Andrews, for not having fought that decision harder." "PELLEGRINO:" "There was absolute pandemonium, just chaos as those last boats went down." "Get back, I say!" "(GUNSHOTS, SCREAMING)" "Get back!" "Link arms!" "Form a chain!" "Women and children only, please!" "PAXTON:" "At the very end," "Murdoch was trying to get collapsible "A" off the roof while the ship was sinking out from under it." "Get back!" "Get back!" "Step away!" "Get back!" "Crank this down there, men!" "PAXTON:" "They cranked the davits back in to drag the collapsible over the side." "But by then, it was too late." "(WATER RUSHING)" "The number-one davit remains in that cranked-in position, an unspoken monument to Murdoch's dedication and heroism." "LYNCH:" "After the lifeboats had gone, we have evidence of some of the third-class passengers just going back to their cabins." "They had no hope of surviving, and they took it gracefully." "(CREAKING, RATTLING)" "(SCREAMING IN DISTANCE)" "To me, it must have been tough for the people who survived, knowing they could have possibly gone back and rescued some of the people in the water once the ship had gone under." "To go in there would have been suicide and nothing less." "We've got 1,500 people in the water all screaming tor help, fighting for their lives." "You could easily have 50, 100 people trying to climb onboard at once." "They're sitting in a lifeboat, safe." "To not row back or to have that not in your mind," "I can't believe that of somebody." "How safe are you in a lifeboat in the middle of the North Atlantic?" "Titanic is that thing you always try to measure yourself against." ""What would I have done if I would have been on the deck?"" "Heroism and character will always be the domain of the individual, not the group." "That's what will never change." "MARSCHALL:" "On one of the later dives," "Jim decided to go back into the first-class spaces on "D" deck and have Mir II shine lights through those leaded-glass windows from the outside." " Getting ready?" " MAN:" "Yes." "Here comes the light." "MARSCHALL:" "Nice." "Perfect." "MARSCHALL:" "Not since April 14, 1912, had human eyes seen light pouring through these beautiful windows." "LYNCH:" "A lot of the washstands have fallen over, yet here was one that was still upright." "And so someone took a drink of water, set that glass down, and walked out of that room, and 90 years later, that glass and that carafe are still there." "So we're looking at it right here, like this." "I need more power." "Come on, baby." "React, react, react." "MAN:" "We have a problem." "CAMERON:" "What?" "MAN:" "We got a low-battery warning here." "Whoa, there's something really terribly wrong here." "CAMERON:" "Uh-oh." "Are we gonna lose this thing?" "MAN:" "Oh, Jesus." " Did we crash?" " We're dead." "We're dead." "We're dead and buoyant." "Drop it." "Drop it." "Buoyancy right now." "PAXTON:" "Easy, easy." "Real easy." "MAN:" "Battery is starting to die." "Oh, we're not gonna live." "Guys, get a visual on us, because we just lost power." "It's terminal." "PAXTON:" "You're headed for the ceiling." "You're sitting on the ceiling, Jim." "CAMERON:" "We're dead in the water." "We have a dead battery." "We're watching you." "We're gonna sit and watch you." "PAXTON:" "The whole thing was melting down." "It was very bizarre." "It was like, "Houston, we have a problem."" "They flew beautifully right up until the point that we had an absolute, total major-malfunction system crash." "CAMERON:" "I've had a debate with myself as to whether I would even ever try a rescue, because better to lose one than to lose two." "I got you." "I think metal hooks would work if you get a fishing lure that you can stab into the screen and pull it out by the screen." "PAXTON:" "We had to rescue Elwood, not just because these bots are expensive, but because, in some strange way, he'd become part of the crew." "Oh, where, oh, where is my little bot now?" "LEDDA:" "Look up." "Look up." "Hello, Elwood." "All right." "Time to go for the kill." "LEDDA:" "Okay." "Not the center." "We could bend our hooks on the..." "Oh, that looked good." "CAMERON:" "Push him a little bit, then all back full, yaw right." "LEDDA:" "The hooks still there?" "CAMERON:" "Negative." "LEDDA:" "It looks good." "CAMERON:" "Lets go for a drive and see if he comes with us." "I'm yawing in a weird way, so that must mean I have him, so I'm just gonna keep playing him." "I'm gonna play the hand." "MARSCHALL:" "I think the door is down there." "Tell him we're here." "Mir I, we see the door." "We're on station." "There's the light." "CAMERON:" "Tell them we see them." "Mir II, Mir II, we see your lights." "Maintain position." "CAMERON:" "All right." "LEDDA:" "There's the way out." "CAMERON:" "Hanging up." "I'm hung up." "We're stopped." "And we're stuck." "See it?" "it's like hitting a wall." "We are hung up solid." "Absolutely solid." "Nothing." "I think we lost it." "I don't know what to do." "I'm sure nothing's changed, but we'll try it again." "Okay." "I'm gonna back up, take a little leash." "And then charge it." "Now we get to the same spot, and..." "Hey." " We're going." " LEDDA:" "You're going." "Go toward the light, Jake." "Go toward the light." "Oh, come on, baby." "Come on." "LEDDA:" "Mir II, Mir II, tilt your light down." "Tilt your light down." "LYNCH:" "Copy that." "Tilting it down." "CAMERON:" "I keep feeling shocks." "I think I still have him." "LYNCH:" "Oh, that's why." "They're coming this way." "CAMERON:" "Tell them to take a visual on us and see if we have Elwood." "MARSCHALL:" "Look at that." "LEDDA:" "Do you see Elwood?" "MARSCHALL:" "Oh, my God." "He got it!" "LYNCH:" "It looks great." "It's beautiful." " Do you see Elwood?" " Do you see Elwood?" "Yes, we do." "We got him." "Just the two of us" "We can make it if we try" "Just the two of us" "We pulled it off, Daddy-O." " Yeah." " Whoo." "Great job." "Everybody did a great job." "MARSCHALL:" "Elwood is safe and sound." "And the time is 6:16, September 11, 2001." "See you later." "What's this thing that's going on?" "The worst terrorist attack in history, Jim." "CAMERON:" "We all were wrapped up in what we were doing and thought it was important." "Hit by two separate hijacked commercial jets..." "CAMERON:" "And then this horrible event happened and slammed us into this perspective." "God." "LYNCH:" "The morning after the attack on September 11th," "I kept thinking how trivial this expedition suddenly became." "It just wasn't a big deal anymore." "The emotional parallels came first." "We now understood what it felt like to be a witness to tragedy." "The sense of shock and numbness and the disbelief that the unthinkable has happened." "ABERNATHY:" "It does happen." "Occasionally, life sits on your head." "But, hey, I've been knocked down before." "We all have." "We get up." "We go on." "I think that's what makes us great." "PAXTON:" "Everyone decided to continue the expedition." "I think that after we'd gotten over the initial shock," "Titanic did seem to become important again." "Not so much for itself, but as a symbol of what can happen when warnings go unheeded and how I think we all hope to face death when it comes." "PELLEGRINO:" "Archie Frost was in the engine room that night." "Just barely into his twenties and had worked with Thomas Andrews when the ship was being built." "After a certain point, Andrews had come down and told them," ""The ship does not have much time to live,"" ""and if you stay here, you will die."" "Archie Frost said," ""We'll stay here as long as we need to be here."" "Those are the everyday heroes." "The people who ran those machines, who kept the generators running, and kept power for the telegraph going, who kept the crowds calm." "You find the ordinary hero that was standing next to you." "PAXTON:" "When you see the stern where 1,500 people had died," "I don't really know how to describe it." "MARSCHALL:" "You can't help but be emotional." "There's no doubt people were taken to the bottom in the stern." "But they're no longer there." "Every trace of their human existence has been dissolved into the ocean." "CAMERON:" "Okay, Mir II." "Get in position to lay the plaque." "LYNCH:" "Jim, getting into position to lay plague." "PAXTON: "The 1,500 souls lost here still speak,"" ""reminding us always that the unthinkable can happen"" ""but for our vigilance, humility, and compassion."" "Goodbye." "We had been at sea a long time." "I was thinking about being home again." "On the final day, as we left, at the stern of the ship was a white rainbow." "It was almost like a halo effect over the wreck of the Titanic." "And it had an ethereal feel to it." "I think you leave Titanic, but it never leaves you." "It's always there." "And many times, when I close my eyes," "I'm suddenly back there, floating over the wreck, and I feel like I am a ghost of the abyss." "Subtitles ripped from 3D bluray by cjdijk."
