"This is Orpheus." "We're a civilian oceanographic research vessel." "You're taking us into the hydrothermal vent field?" "We're inside the biggest deep-sea installation anyone's ever seen." "This is Russian." "There were 130 men on Volos last night." "Look around you." "Everybody's dead!" "What was it - military, this expedition?" "You're asking wrong guy.Who's the right guy?" "His name was Zubov." "Just be very, very happy that he's dead." "We're following up Catherine Donnelly's research." "Catherine was with the Hermes expedition." "She went missing inside this thing." "This is about my family." "Five minutes, all right?" "Five minutes." "I don't know if you can hear me, but I've found her." "Catherine's work." "You have no idea what she was involved in." "The lava bug." "This is why I came down here." "It's a micro-organism that produces pure hydrogen." "Everything's dead." "We've to go down." "We've to secure a live sample of the lava bug from the sediment." "OK." "I've got it." "How much air is left in Lurch?" "Not enough." "Can I speak to Catherine, please?" "Hello?" "I love you, Catherine." "TEARFULLY:" "I know you do." "Give." "Helicopter, just on the horizon." "Then it disappeared into the sun.Yeah, I heard it." "So who the hell are they?" "I don't know." "Do you think it was a response to the beacon?" "They heard it before we shut it down?" "Yes." "Single or twin rotor?" "What?" "One propeller or two, you idiot?" "!" "I couldn't see." "Why does that...?" "Because twin rotors means the chopper's a Kamov, which means it's Russian." "Single means it's the Yanks in the Westland, and the Yanks in the Westland means the game is up, and I will be hoisted off in that helicopter and water boarded till my tiny heart gives out or until I tell them what's going on down there " "the Russian drilling, the cover-up - and then, and only then, will the shit hit the fan full in the face." "Mine, and yours." "ROTORS WHIRR" "How many personnel?" "Todd Lowe is the chief inspector." "There's a young guy with him called Hatsuto, I believe." "I don't know why they're not answering." "I'm going to have to ask you to show me something official on a piece of paper, like an authorisation of some description." "Of course you are." "Everything in order?" "It seems." "You're sure it's the Americans?" "Yes!" "Absolutely sure?" "Who the hell else flies around in a Westland, you idiot?" "!" "Get a garbage bag.So if the Americans are here, then they must have intercepted the message from the Orpheus." "Yes." "So they must know that the Russians are under the ice, drilling." "Yes!" "And they would have deduced that the United Nations Monitoring Station is covering the Russian presence.Yes!" "So they'll already know when they arrive that you're in the pay of the Russians." "And when the Americans arrest you, you will betray us and tell them everything you know about the Volos." "What do you mean, "us"?" "SOBBING" "SOBBING CONTINUES" "He's gone, Frances." "He's gone, he's gone, he's gone." "What am I going to do?" "What am I going to do without Clem?" "Oh, God!" "Oh..." "OK." "Hey..." "Hey, hey." "OK, you have to listen to me, because we can't stay down here." "OK, we have to go." "You have to go home." "Yeah?" "And before we go, you have to secure that lava bug sample that he brought back, that Clem brought back." "OK?" "When you've secured that, when you've done that, then we can go." "OK?" "Go back to Scarlet." "OK?" "I know what he means to you." "That's what he means to all of us." "It's all right, it's all right." "Please, um..." "I'm very sorry, but look at this." "Look at this!" "What?" "It looks like the Volos is on course to intersect with us." "Still some way above us." "Yes." "I think Zubov is coming to take another bite at Orpheus." "How long are we looking at?" "Er, till the sample's stable.15 minutes." "The Volos is coming towards us." "We need to hurry this." "I want to stop the pressure equalisation now." "No, no, you can't do that." "Temporarily, I need physical access to the sample." "I need to remove a protocolony." "Just give me enough time to freeze-dry a fragment, so at least, if the sample doesn't survive, we still have some DNA left." "No, DNA isn't enough." "I know that, but if the sample produces acid inside the syringe at any time during the process, we risk all the DNA being denatured." "We might end up with nothing at all.OK, you just sort this out quickly." "Come on, Catherine." "Trust me to make this decision." "'If Zubov understands that the Orpheus has something that may compromise the Volos,' all his work, he'll do everything he has to." "Zubov is on the verge of such a prize." "Oil and gas worth billions and billions." "A new dawn for the whole of Russia." "How could he know about the lava bugs?" "I don't remember what you call the little animal..." "A thing like a squirrel but it's not." "It is...it's a carnivore." "Deadly for its size, and nobody trusts it." "A weasel?" "Yes." "A weasel." "Stas taught me that the weasel was listening to you and Catherine when you thought you were all alone in the bio-lab vault." "Raymond was listening to everything you said." "Is there a problem?" "The radar transmitter has not deployed." "What's wrong?" "The transmitter... it failed to drop into position.Now what do we do?" "Well, we have ten minutes before we're above the Orpheus." "And you can't alert the unit?" "No, not from here." "Somebody has to go to the moon pool and do it manually." "Fine." "I'll wait for you here." "No, you must go." "Must I?" "Yes." "There's something you need to understand, Mr Zubov." "I'm employed by an American oil company to come down here and gather evidence about what the Russians are doing at the North Pole." "In other words, I work for a living." "I want to stress the last word of that sentence, OK, in case its monumental significance escapes you." "I work for a living." "Mr Hopkins, this is our joint enterprise." "We share the risk." "I am needed here to control the equipment, which leaves only you free to go down there and lower transmitter." "So, please..." "Stanislav has not come back, so be alert for trouble." "Fine." "How are you doing, Vince?" "Chernobyl?" "He says, "It's not as bad as everybody thinks."" "Wait, wait." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to go to the sickbay and I'm going to get you some morphine and adrenaline and amphetamines." "That's lovely, Svetlana." "Thank you for that." "OK." "What about me and him?" "Stas will take you to the moon pool." "Da." "Lurg is the only way off Volos." "We'll need some fresh batteries and Neonox cylinders." "HE COUGHS Uh-oh." "HE MUTTERS IN RUSSIAN" "Chernobyl." "Glad it wasn't as bad as everybody thinks." "'You must hurry.' I hear you." "How long?" "25 seconds." "OK, give me the cryo-pellet." "If Volos continues on this path, she's going to end up directly above us." "What's their current speed?" "2.8 knots." "2.8." "OK." "That gives us ten minutes.Ten minutes." "OK, well, we can't ascend until the sample is pressurised." "That means we're going to have to move sideways out from underneath her, which, in this ravine, is not going to be easy." "I'm sorry." "So much of this is unfamiliar." "No, it's OK." "We just have to work out the fastest way to the top, how to give the Volos lateral clearance of at least 100 feet, try to avoid getting directly beneath them." "We're out of here the second Samson says so." "Samson, we don't have a lot of time.BEEPING" "FOOTSTEPS" "Scarlet." "What's the matter, pet?" "I want my dad." "I want him to come home now." "It's not going to be long till he's back." "We'll hear something any day soon." "And before you know it, your dad'll be home." "And you and me will be fed up with him clumping round the house, being noisy, watching football on the telly." "And saying, "Where's my car keys?" ""Who's got the telly remote this time?"" "Down the back of the cushions." "Sure, it's always down the back of the cushions." "He's going to be so mad you smashed up Mummy's computer." "Look..." "I'm going to show you something and I want you to keep it top secret, OK?" "There's your mummy's computer, and the one I smashed up was your dad's old computer." "So you and me, we've outwitted them." "And your mummy's computer is safe until your dad comes home." "Hm?" "BREATHES HEAVILY" "OK, I'm here." "I can see the radar unit." "I've got four wheels." "Listen to me now." "That's the manual override." "The top two wheels, they control the lateral movement." "The bottom two wheels, they control the vertical movement." "We have five minutes, Raymond." "Five minutes." "'You must hurry up, Mr Hopkins." "Hurry up!" "'" "Now, you listen to me, Zubov." "Let me make something really clear." "I know what has to be done, OK?" "I understand." "Now, stop shouting." "Hey!" "Hey, Stas!" "Come here!" "Here!" "We have to lower this!" "We have to lower it." "So I can fire it...at the Orpheus." "Stas!" "HE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS" "'Raymond, we must rig the radar as far down as possible.'" "CLANKING" "Shit." "It seems to be stuck." "'Four minutes till we're over the Orpheus and we must fire the radar.'" "Four minutes." "HE GRUNTS WITH EFFORT" "OK." "Directly overhead." "In a few minutes." "There is room for us to pass.At the top of the ravine?" "Yes." "Bring the engines up to speed." "Samson..." "Another moment, we're done, Frances." "Almost there." "Almost got it." "'OK, Frances, I'm sealing the sample now.'" "That's it, we go now." "You're sure?" "Yeah." "Three minutes, Raymond." "Come on." "Oi..." "Stas?" "Mate..." "You all right?" "HE GROANS" "CLANKING" "'You have two minutes left.'" "Clem!" "Clem!" "'Firing sequence is initiated." "'Clear the moon pool chamber immediately." "'The chamber will go into automatic lockdown.'" "Vincent!" "Get out!" "'Get out now!" "'Clear the chamber.'" "Run!" "Clem!" "Run!" "Clem!" "'Lockdown secure.'" "You're too late, Raymond." "HE GRUNTS WITH EFFORT" "You messed up." "Won't deploy." "You won't get paid." "HE SOBS" "Zubov." "Zu..." "Zubov..." "Zu..." "RADIO TRANSMISSION MIXED WITH INTERFERENCE" "Nobody..." "Zubov!" "Nobody gives a damn about you, Raymond." "You're just a thug for hire." "Zubov's going to fire it anyway." "Fire it straight at us." "CLEM SOBS Zubov!" "Take the helm, Arkady." "I'll find out if Samson's done." "The lava bug sample?" "Pressure is stabilised." "Sample is fully viable and secure." "Zubov!" "You died for nothing." "Raymond?" "I will fire the radar now." "WHIRRING" "No-o-o-o-o!" "RAPID BLEEPING" "What's that?" "The engines." "Frances!" "Frances!" "Zubov's fired the radar.She got hit?" "God!" "What's happened?" "!" "Frances is out." "Cut the engines." "I don't know how!" "Without Frances, none of us do." "She's not breathing." "OK." "Defibrillator unit!" "On top of the pressurisation chamber." "Got it!" "Come on, hurry up!" "It's in a yellow case!" "HE SCREAMS" "Come on, Frances." "Charge them up." "It's charged." "OK, clear!" "It's not charged!" "It's charged!" "Shit!" "It's charged,it's just not ready." "OK." "ELECTRICITY CRACKLES Aah!" "The gantry's conducting." "Get up." "How long has she been down?" "I don't know." "Two minutes." "We've got to get her out of here and into the bio-lab." "'Arkady, find the power override.'" "BEEPING" "You need to get the tube just above the bifurcation..." "I really don't care what its called." "I know, I'm remembering." "This." "BEEPING" "BEEPING STOPS" "She's stable." "We got her stabilised." "I've done it." "Yes!" "I myself have fixed the boat!" "SIZZLING" "'So, Zubov fired it again and he killed Raymond and Stas and Clem.'" "Yeah." "And how is Clem here?" "OK." "Listen to me." "I do not want to die down here amongst the fishes and dead people." "I want to get back up into the sunlight." "Lurg will only take one passenger." "I know that." "I'm not going anywhere, Svet." "Please, just..." "just give me your scrawny arm." "Is this the morphine and the adrenaline and the amphetamines?" "Yeah." "It's not going to make the slightest difference, really, is it?" "HE GRUNTS" "Oh, blinking heck, man, this is good shit." "HE LAUGHS" "Cheesy peeps, Svet." "Holy macaroni." "ZUBOV OVER RADIO: 'Mr Hopkins, I am going to recharge the radar unit 'and fire the transmitter again.'" "That means the moon pool doors are open." "Yeah." "So what do we do?" "Right, you load up Lurg as fast as you can." "I'll sort Zubov." "I'm going to the nuclear reactor." "The first time I saw you was in the pub at the docks." "I saw you across the bar while I was waiting for Clem." "You were alone." "And I knew in one heart-stopping instant that I was lost." "Just one glance from you." "Then I wasn't sure... ..if you looked away or...?" "But I remember I kept my gaze at you until you...until you glanced back." "And I felt such a thrill in my chest." "And then Clem introduced us." "And..." "I couldn't stop talking." "And you hid, you hid in the ladies' toilet, hoping I would go." "Because you knew as well." "Didn't you?" "Clem was talking to me at the bar and... ..you know, I was like, "What?" "!"" "And he was laughing." "I wasn't laughing." "I wasn't laughing." "I was thinking, "My God, I just got hit by thunder."" "And there was you, Frances." "And I was married." "And that never, ever happened to me before." "I hadn't known..." "I hadn't known that something like that's going to ever come into my life." "Oh!" "And I was married." "Why wasn't it you?" "RATTLING" "Oh." "HE BREATHES HEAVILY" "Oh, shit." "Oh, something's wrong." "Something's wrong." "Who was I talking to a minute ago?" "What was I saying?" "What, please?" "Did you just see Clem?" "Yeah." "All this." "I fixed the boat." "He wasn't here." "I did it all alone." "Can I...please go home now?" "When we get up there, you..." "Men will come to me." "I will be taken away very high up in the sky, by helicopter." "And will throw me out into the cold, thin air... ..and I will fall to the ice." "Did I just see Clem?" "Samson?" "Did you just recently see my husband?" "That man's heart doesn't work the way it should." "He's the one who needs to be comprehensively defibrillated." "Oh, some..." "Something is wrong." "Frances?" "WHIRRING" "ALARM BLARES" "'Svetlana?" "Svetlana?" "' Vince?" "'I'm almost set at this end." "I just want to say, cheerio, Svet." "Thank you." "Good luck." "I love you, babe." "Goodbye, Vince. 'Au revoir.'" "Thank you." "Raymond, come back to radar room." "Mr Hopkins!" "You all right, mate?" "Sorry, sorry, sorry." "Could I just say something, please?" "Excuse me, I'm sorry, I'd just like to say something." "In the way of, you know, last words." "It's not something you give a lot of thought when you're my age." "I'm only 27." "And I've always enjoyed a fairly healthy life, though I was quite a sickly teenager for a short period." "From the ages of 12 to 14." "Though 12's not really teenage in the strictest sense of the word, is it?" "What are you talking about?" "Last words." "What last words?" "These ones." "BEEPING" "Frances?" "Hey..." "Frances." "Frances, wake up." "Frances?" "Frances..." "Open your eyes." "Frances!" "Maddy!" "Come with me." "Oh, is Samson going to be OK?" "No, he's going to die." "We should hurry." "What's happening?" "Are we in trouble?" "Looks like it." "Why are you here?" "Aren't you dead?" "Of course I am." "Shh." "Vampyroteuthis infernalis." "The Vampire Squid From Hell." "Yes." "What does he want?" "Well, he wants you to stay down here with him." "I don't want to do that." "I don't want to do that at all." "They're not breathing." "Why are they not breathing?" "I could breathe when I was asleep." "But they can't." "No..." "Why is that?" "I think it's because..." "Because what?" "Because they're breathing Neonox.And?" "Look, I'm pretty sure this isn't right." "What's that?" "The Neonox system override sensor, they need to be parallel or the whole thing might not reboot after a power outage.You're absolutely correct." "I've already changed it, I just haven't changed the labels." "The Neonox system's override sensors need to be in parallel, not series, otherwise the system might not restart after a power outage." "I know." "You're absolutely right." "I've changed it already." "Just haven't changed the labels yet." "SHE GROANS IN PAIN" "SHE RETCHES" "WHIRRING" "Don't try and get up." "Just breathe." "Take deep breaths." "Take big, deep breaths, OK?" "Arkady..." "Arkady, wake up." "Take deep breaths." "Catherine, don't get up too fast." "COUGHING" "Shit!" "The last time I saw you, you were no longer with us." "Last time I saw you, you were dribbling." "I..." "I couldn't... couldn't think straight." "I thought I was losing my mind." "I was talking to you." "Maybe it was just the hypoxia." "I can't find the Alaska." "And the navigation system's broken." "I can't find the hole in the ice." "We could be 50 miles from the Alaska." "No Alaska, no ice hole." "We need to get everyone home." "Well, the fastest way home is straight up." "Yeah, till we hit the ice." "What's this?" "Is there any possibility for us to punch through the ice?" "The average thickness of the ice this time of year is about 4.5 metres." "So, not on this sub.Are you guys hearing this?" "WHINING Is there some kind of fault?" "No, there's nothing in the systems that indicates..." "You know what I think?" "It's them." "It's the belugas." "Delphinapterus leucas." "They're taking the squid." "A beluga whale can stay submerged for about 20 minutes and it can dive to a depth of 2,000 feet." "We're deeper.We're so much deeper." "If these whales can dive and feed..." "That means there must be a hole in the ice." "So...how big might this hole have to be?" "Well, big enough for all of those big boys." "Which means big enough for us." "If we triangulate their click calls, we can follow their route to the surface." "So the belugas will lead us to the polynia?" "Yeah." "What's the polynia?" "Oh, it's Russian for "hole in the ice"." "Russian for hole in the ice will do us nicely." "THUMPING ON DOOR" "The door is open." "Have you come alone?" "Are you here with anyone else?" "It's Mr Lowe, the United Nations inspections officer!" "You shot him." "Who are you?" "McIndoe." "Mr McIndoe, are you here as a representative of the United States government, or of an American oil company?" "Both." "Do you expect us to do some kind of deal?" "Do you see any other way out of this situation?" "You know we picked up the transmission from the Orpheus," "Raymond Hopkins' broadcast, we know all about the Volos and the cover-up, everything." "So, you tell me, Mr Hatsuto... what would the Russians prefer?" "A discreet response from the United States or an overt one?" "A mutually beneficial agreement or an Arctic confrontation?" "You got the place wired to blow?" "In this climate, forensics survive for years and years and years." "Much better to drop the whole shebang through the ice, huh?" "There is a lot of cool hardware going up in smoke." "What's that?" "Orpheus." "We will all have a very serious problem if she should make the surface, I think." "Of course, you know all about the Orpheus." "Should do." "We own it." "20 minutes ago we picked up this explosion." "So what have you been seeing with all your hi-tech gear?" "And where the hell is Lowe?" "What is going on over there?" "Was it the Orpheus?" "Mr Lowe had been falsifying data, covering up illegal activity." "It was becoming more and more obvious." "He knew that I suspected." "He knew that I had spoken to you, Captain." "And then, when Mr McIndoe arrived..." "The point is there's a mound of evidence Hatsuto here has accumulated on hard drives, paper records, log books..." "So much UNMS data..." "So was it the Orpheus blew up?" "We honestly don't know." "Does Todd Lowe think for one minute he can cover this up?" "I mean, what is he doing out there - shredding?" "!" "A forensic team will turn that station inside out, and Todd Lowe..." "BOOM" "RUMBLING" "Sea canaries." "That's right." "Oh, careful." "Rubble on the right." "None of this stuff's showing up - this sonar is worse than useless." "You follow the whales, I'll ride shotgun." "I hope those whales know where they're going." "Belugas are extremely intelligent cetaceans, you know." "Careful." "Yeah." "Oh, my God!" "48 degrees, allowing for thermocline interference." "Look at this." "A whole world's up here." "I can feel it." "It's the sunlight." "MCINDOE:" "Raymond Hopkins, Vincent Chandrasekhar," "Madelaine Gibson and Svetlana Belgakov must all be accounted missing." "Presumed dead." "What about Clem, my husband?" "Was there any sign of him?" "The Alaska are out looking for him, but there's not much hope." "How do you know all the others are dead?" "We believe the Russian deep-sea vessel, the Volos, was lost." "A nuclear detonation was picked up earlier today." "So everyone who was on board the Volos has gone." "Everything you saw and witnessed down there was recorded on hard drives?" "Yeah." "All through the ship?" "Yes." "You understand, I know you do... that nothing, nothing you witnessed down there can be spoken of to anyone, now, or in the future." "UN debriefing and containment officers will take possession of all the hard drives." "You all have to agree upon an approved version of events." "So, when you return home, when you meet with the news teams, and the journalists and the colleagues, you're all going to have to stick with this version of events." "Samson, are you just going to sit there?" "We don't have any other choice.What are you talking about, we don't have a choice?" "!" "Mr McIndoe, I've found the sample." "No, hey!" "Hey, listen!" "Frances." "You are out of your mind!" "There's no way I'm going to agree to some falsified account of what went on down there." "You're still responsible for those people and they're not home yet." "Now, that's a very great responsibility after all the lives that have been lost down here." "Now, they leave everything - no gadgets, notes, computers, only personal stuff and the clothes you're wearing now." "What authority do you have, to come on board my boat and threaten me, threaten my crew?" "Well, you don't work for the United Nations." "Do you?" "What, US intelligence?" "Your boat?" "The people I represent own the Orpheus." "Mm-hm." "They've paid for every nut and bolt, right down to the last self-tightening screw." "We funded Catherine Donnelly's research, we bank-rolled this expedition, top to bottom." "Telso Oil is the Orpheus research unit." "So Raymond worked for you?" "Hey...all of us." "You and me and Raymond Hopkins, deceased." "We're in the oil business." "I've got one condition." "What condition?" "Arkady, the Russian, he goes home with us." "Lava bug." "This little baby thought he could kill the oil industry." "Bury it in a vault and we all go home." "Hey..." "Have you talked to Catherine?" "She talk about Clem yet?" "Not really, no." "We barely spoke at all." "That voice he heard... ..the one that spoke to him and drove him..." "It's not a voice most of us ever hear." "He was mad to listen to it." "He was mad to think he could find her alive down there." "It's like he willed his desire into this world... ..into reality." "And he wouldn't let go until it took him to her." "He would have torn himself apart for her." "And I would..." "I would give everything..." "What?" "What are you thinking?" "The Russians and the Americans will do a deal." "The Americans will steamroll the UN and tear up the treaty." "The Russians will drill for the oil, and the Americans will buy it cheap." "The lava bug won't see the light of day until all the oil is gone." "I had to make that agreement with McIndoe." "I know you did." "I had to get us home." "You know, there is this new process, a technique, called nanopore technology." "It allows for a full... genome sequencing." "So McIndoe can take the sample from the Orpheus and tip it down the drain, and that's the end of that." "But, er..." "With nanopore sequencing, just a small fragment of the lava bug..." "..is enough." "So McIndoe can bury the corpse, but I already took the soul." "Samson...!" "What are you thinking now?" "We're going to get another boat." "Look at you!" "Look at you!" "Alive!" "Home and alive!" "He went down there and found you - he sent you back, didn't he?" "I'm sorry." "No..." "CLEM:" "Hey, sweetheart,I'm really sorry, but I've got to keep this really quiet, because everybody's sleeping." "Vincent is snoring his head off, Maddy's a light sleeper, and Frances could clap me in irons if I wake anybody, because she's the captain, and we dive tomorrow." "Anyway..." "..happy birthday, sweetheart." "On the count of three..." "One, two, three..." "Scarlet?" "Scarlet." "Come to me, please." "I pretended..." "What?" "..to believe him." "Your dad?" "Yeah." "I know you did." "I knew you were dead." "I know." "He was the only one who wouldn't believe it." "He came down and he found me." "Where is he?" "He couldn't..." "He... he couldn't..." "He couldn't..." "Oh..." "He's still down there." "Even if he is a ghost now." "Like you were." "He knows we love him." "Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd" "E-mail subtitling@bbc.co.uk"
