1
00:01:42,181 --> 00:01:45,742
Thirty six hours ago,
an American B-52 bomber...
2
00:01:45,818 --> 00:01:48,588
crashed into
the Mediterranean Sea.
3
00:01:48,721 --> 00:01:50,882
Moments before impact,
the bomber's crew...
4
00:01:50,957 --> 00:01:54,654
jettisoned a 50-megaton
nuclear warhead.
5
00:01:54,727 --> 00:01:58,926
The bomb, capable of leveling
a major city, has been lost at sea.
6
00:01:58,999 --> 00:02:02,833
Underway at this hour is the greatest
naval search in human history.
7
00:02:02,903 --> 00:02:05,133
What do you think, Sunday?
It should be you out there.
8
00:02:05,205 --> 00:02:08,936
Why not? I'm the best
goddamn diver in the whole U.S. Navy.
9
00:02:09,009 --> 00:02:11,020
Well, you ain't in the Navy.
You are a damn deserter.
10
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:12,612
Well, you ain't in the Navy.
You are a damn deserter.
11
00:02:12,688 --> 00:02:14,987
AWOL. AWOL.
12
00:02:15,058 --> 00:02:17,253
Twenty years ago, a man'd go
on a bender like that,
13
00:02:17,327 --> 00:02:20,091
they'd pin a medal on his chest
and take him down town for a blow job.
14
00:02:22,165 --> 00:02:25,794
Instead, you got your ass
kicked by a couple of Marines.
15
00:02:27,869 --> 00:02:30,135
Ornery son of a bitch.
16
00:02:32,807 --> 00:02:34,440
Friend of yours?
17
00:02:34,512 --> 00:02:37,913
Well, it looks like Chief here
is a goddamn nigger lover.
18
00:02:40,351 --> 00:02:43,582
All right, asshole. Now you're gonna
start addressing me as Master Chief...
19
00:02:43,654 --> 00:02:46,316
or I'm gonna snap your goddamn
wrist, do you read me?
20
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:48,255
You ain't a Master Chief
no more.
21
00:02:48,326 --> 00:02:51,091
You triflin' me, motherfucker?
You triflin' me, motherfucker?
22
00:02:51,163 --> 00:02:53,495
- Sorry, Master Chief!
- Thank you!
23
00:02:57,703 --> 00:02:58,637
Carl.
24
00:03:50,458 --> 00:03:53,427
Come on, Carl.
25
00:03:53,495 --> 00:03:56,726
Turn off Daddy's radio
and get ready for school.
26
00:04:12,915 --> 00:04:15,406
Whoa, John.
27
00:04:15,484 --> 00:04:20,282
Come on there.
Get a hold, John.
28
00:04:20,415 --> 00:04:23,441
Get a hold, John.
29
00:04:23,518 --> 00:04:26,146
Come on. Come on.
Get up there, Jane.
30
00:04:26,221 --> 00:04:28,815
Come on. Come on.
Good girl.
31
00:04:37,065 --> 00:04:39,000
Whoa, John.
32
00:04:39,068 --> 00:04:41,002
Come here, Jane.
33
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:44,005
Come here.
34
00:04:44,073 --> 00:04:46,598
Best come in now.
35
00:04:46,676 --> 00:04:50,237
I told Doc Maddox I'd be done
by Friday, and I will.
36
00:04:51,514 --> 00:04:55,109
- Daddy, you actin' like...
- This was my farm?
37
00:04:55,184 --> 00:05:00,521
No, son. No matter how hard I work,
I ain't ever gonna own this land.
38
00:05:00,591 --> 00:05:03,685
I heard you and Mama talkin'.
39
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,218
You gonna lose the farm
if this wheat ain't in on time.
40
00:05:07,297 --> 00:05:10,960
Doc Maddox is gonna bring in another
family, where the kids work too.
41
00:05:17,375 --> 00:05:20,242
My kids go to school.
42
00:05:20,311 --> 00:05:22,677
Now, go on 'fore you're late.
43
00:05:32,725 --> 00:05:37,059
I'm not going to school, Daddy.
Not today.
44
00:05:37,129 --> 00:05:39,597
Not till this field is done.
45
00:05:39,665 --> 00:05:42,395
This field ain't ever
gonna be done.
46
00:05:46,071 --> 00:05:49,063
Daddy.
47
00:05:49,141 --> 00:05:52,634
Today is Friday.
48
00:05:52,712 --> 00:05:55,146
Come on, Tye.
Come on, Jill. There you go.
49
00:05:55,215 --> 00:05:57,911
Come on.
Good boy, good girl.
50
00:05:57,984 --> 00:06:01,476
There you go.
There you go.
51
00:06:01,555 --> 00:06:04,922
- Make me a promise.
- Sir?
52
00:06:07,661 --> 00:06:10,324
Don't end up like me.
53
00:06:20,308 --> 00:06:23,471
All right.
54
00:06:23,544 --> 00:06:25,478
We best get movin'.
55
00:06:25,546 --> 00:06:28,675
Rain comin' in.
56
00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:31,150
We best get movin'.
Ready Jane, John.
57
00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:34,121
Get up there! Come on!
58
00:06:34,189 --> 00:06:37,181
Stay low, John.
Get the hoe, John.
59
00:06:37,259 --> 00:06:41,195
- Get the hoe! Come on. Get up there!
- Get that hoe.
60
00:06:41,263 --> 00:06:43,925
- Get the hoe, John.
- Yeah, get that hoe, Jane.
61
00:06:48,972 --> 00:06:50,906
Get that hoe, Jane.
62
00:06:51,974 --> 00:06:54,034
Get that hoe, Jane!
63
00:06:54,110 --> 00:06:57,204
Gee, Jane!
Get up there!
64
00:06:58,948 --> 00:07:00,914
Get up there!
Come on!
65
00:07:00,984 --> 00:07:04,086
Get up there!
Get up there!
66
00:07:04,455 --> 00:07:06,514
Get up there!
67
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:08,751
Come on, Carl.
You'll miss the bus.
68
00:07:22,474 --> 00:07:25,932
Let's go, son.
Your father's waitin' on us.
69
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:30,482
U.S. Navy's
a big opportunity for a young man.
70
00:07:30,482 --> 00:07:31,005
U.S. Navy's
a big opportunity for a young man.
71
00:07:31,082 --> 00:07:34,483
You got the hot showers.
You got the three squares a day.
72
00:07:34,552 --> 00:07:36,884
- And unlike the Army...
- All about the Navy. It's right here in this book.
73
00:07:36,955 --> 00:07:40,050
And this is mine. I can keep this.
They're just giving it to me.
74
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:42,890
- No fox holes in the U.S. Navy.
- I wish I knew what I was gonna be.
75
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:46,557
Knowing you,
it's gonna be something big.
76
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:48,862
It don't stop there.
77
00:07:48,934 --> 00:07:51,459
He ain't said one word
since we met the recruiter.
78
00:07:51,537 --> 00:07:53,596
He's just real scared
for you.
79
00:07:53,673 --> 00:07:57,439
- Coloreds now.
- First uniform is paid for by Uncle Sam.
80
00:07:57,511 --> 00:08:00,173
- I love you, Mama.
- I love you.
81
00:08:00,247 --> 00:08:03,808
You'll be all right, son.
82
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:06,978
You got a $75 pay check
just waiting for you.
83
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,420
Recruiter say first leave
come in September.
84
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:12,981
I wouldn't believe everything
that recruiter says.
85
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:17,088
Put it away for a rainy day
or send it home to Mom and Pop.
86
00:08:17,165 --> 00:08:19,497
I'll come back,
help mow the hay.
87
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:22,764
Don't.
Don't ever come back here.
88
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:26,640
You get in there
and fight, Carl.
89
00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:29,677
Don't take promises.
90
00:08:29,744 --> 00:08:32,440
Bust their old rules
if you have to.
91
00:08:33,648 --> 00:08:35,947
And when it gets hard...
92
00:08:37,419 --> 00:08:39,353
and it will...
93
00:08:40,422 --> 00:08:42,356
don't quit on me.
94
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,419
Ever.
95
00:08:47,896 --> 00:08:50,262
Now, go on.
96
00:08:50,332 --> 00:08:52,824
Don't come back here.
97
00:08:52,902 --> 00:08:55,097
Not for a long time.
98
00:09:17,128 --> 00:09:20,393
Charge it when you get
where you're going.
99
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:32,902
A.S.N.F.
100
00:09:32,978 --> 00:09:34,912
What's that supposed to mean?
101
00:09:40,485 --> 00:09:43,181
Come on, boy.
102
00:09:43,255 --> 00:09:45,655
You got a big future...
103
00:09:45,724 --> 00:09:48,558
in the U.S. Navy.
104
00:09:48,628 --> 00:09:51,654
A big future!
105
00:09:53,666 --> 00:09:57,602
Look here. I advise the next time
you see this Navy recruiter,
106
00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:59,934
tell him to take whatever
crystal ball he's lookin' through...
107
00:10:00,006 --> 00:10:02,065
and shove it
directly up his ass.
108
00:10:02,141 --> 00:10:04,337
I just got back from fightin' a war,
109
00:10:04,411 --> 00:10:07,346
makin' the whole world
free for democracy.
110
00:10:07,414 --> 00:10:10,941
They still got me standin' here,
slavin' over a hot grill next to you.
111
00:10:11,018 --> 00:10:14,454
There's only three choices
a colored man's got in the U.S. Navy.
112
00:10:14,521 --> 00:10:16,853
- What's that, Chief?
- Bein' a cook...
113
00:10:16,924 --> 00:10:21,054
Officer's valet or
gettin' the fuck out of the Navy.
114
00:10:21,128 --> 00:10:23,324
Big future.
115
00:10:23,398 --> 00:10:25,958
- Big future, I'll be doggoned.
- It'll be all right, Carl.
116
00:10:26,034 --> 00:10:29,526
That's it. That's it.
117
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:34,300
Ooh, hot, hot, hot.
118
00:10:36,211 --> 00:10:39,476
Hell ain't got nothin'
on the South Pacific.
119
00:10:39,547 --> 00:10:41,482
Damn!
120
00:10:55,297 --> 00:10:57,492
Geronimo!
121
00:11:10,046 --> 00:11:12,571
Hold that.
122
00:11:12,649 --> 00:11:15,117
Carl, what the hell
are you doing?
123
00:11:15,185 --> 00:11:17,120
Reckon I'm gonna take a swim.
124
00:11:17,188 --> 00:11:20,419
Nigger, you crazy. Tuesday is
colored swim call on this boat.
125
00:11:20,491 --> 00:11:22,425
Well, I'm hot on Friday.
126
00:11:22,493 --> 00:11:24,927
Carl, crackers see that nappy,
they...
127
00:11:24,996 --> 00:11:28,329
What are they gonna do,
make me wash more dishes?
128
00:11:31,035 --> 00:11:33,265
Wait a minute now.
Someone's all confused.
129
00:11:33,337 --> 00:11:35,272
Better get your ass
off this deck!
130
00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:37,865
It is not Tuesday, son.
131
00:11:37,943 --> 00:11:39,877
What the hell
are you doing, boy?
132
00:11:39,945 --> 00:11:43,472
- You can't do that, boy!
- You're in some deep shit!
133
00:11:45,918 --> 00:11:48,819
Wrong day, asshole!
134
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:53,982
All right. Make way!
135
00:11:58,364 --> 00:12:01,891
Captain wants your ass
back on the boat right now.
136
00:12:16,050 --> 00:12:18,348
- He'll beat you!
- Go, Carl!
137
00:12:19,987 --> 00:12:23,184
Keep goin'! Go, Carl!
138
00:12:31,733 --> 00:12:34,395
Let's go, Carl!
139
00:12:41,610 --> 00:12:44,477
Beat him by a mile!
140
00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:16,975
You got anything
to say for yourself?
141
00:13:25,156 --> 00:13:27,090
Your response is noted.
142
00:13:33,464 --> 00:13:36,160
You ever hear of
the Search and Rescue swimmers?
143
00:13:36,234 --> 00:13:40,170
- You know, sailor falls overboard, these men...
- Dive in and save 'em. Yes, Sir.
144
00:13:44,510 --> 00:13:48,947
You just became one.
I'm transferring you to their unit.
145
00:13:50,983 --> 00:13:53,713
You're the fastest damn swimmer
on this ship,
146
00:13:53,786 --> 00:13:56,186
and you have got the balls
to back it up.
147
00:13:57,756 --> 00:14:01,352
Thank you, sir. I'll pack up
and report to the deck department...
148
00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:04,329
You're just there to swim.
Nothing else.
149
00:14:04,397 --> 00:14:06,831
Stay with the stewards.
150
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,300
Let him out.
151
00:14:09,369 --> 00:14:12,770
Hey, Carl. You know, the only reason
your ass ain't in the brig...
152
00:14:12,839 --> 00:14:15,307
is 'cause you high yellow, boy.
153
00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:17,309
- Damn!
- Search and Rescue Squad.
154
00:14:17,377 --> 00:14:19,642
Boy, you in good
with Captain Pullman now.
155
00:14:19,714 --> 00:14:22,342
Put in a good word for me, they
might let me drive the boat.
156
00:14:22,416 --> 00:14:24,509
You're never gonna believe it,
but yesterday...
157
00:14:24,585 --> 00:14:26,985
I made Seaman, which is Navy
for a glorified deck hand.
158
00:14:27,054 --> 00:14:30,182
I'm still not sure what I'm gonna be,
but I'll make you proud of me yet.
159
00:14:30,257 --> 00:14:33,954
Anyway, Dad, sounds like the mail
chopper's here, so I better get topside.
160
00:14:34,028 --> 00:14:37,260
Give Mom a big hug for me.
Your loving son, Carl.
161
00:14:42,537 --> 00:14:46,633
Good afternoon, Chief.
162
00:14:46,708 --> 00:14:48,903
What the...
163
00:14:55,002 --> 00:14:58,062
Mail chopper clipped a radio mast!
He's down! He's down!
164
00:15:02,576 --> 00:15:07,809
Splash a diver, now! Men on
that chopper. I want 'em up alive.
165
00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:13,485
Diver's coming up.
166
00:15:14,556 --> 00:15:18,219
Bring it up.
Bring it up!
167
00:15:20,562 --> 00:15:22,587
Come on! Faster! Pull him up!
Come on, Vince. Pull him up!
168
00:15:22,664 --> 00:15:26,225
- Come on! Faster, faster!
- Brashear, get on that steadying line.
169
00:15:26,301 --> 00:15:29,532
Keep it up!
Lay back into that! Keep it steady!
170
00:15:29,604 --> 00:15:32,665
Keep it steady!
Keep it steady!
171
00:15:38,848 --> 00:15:41,339
Bring him in!
Coming down!
172
00:15:45,421 --> 00:15:47,548
Bring him down!
173
00:15:49,326 --> 00:15:52,193
Sailors, get him up!
On the hatch. Ready?
174
00:15:52,262 --> 00:15:53,889
Come on.
175
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,534
Face down!
176
00:16:18,189 --> 00:16:19,884
- No.
- Goddamn!
177
00:16:19,957 --> 00:16:23,256
If I'd just been a couple of minutes
earlier, he'd be breathin' now!
178
00:16:23,327 --> 00:16:25,262
You did your best, Chief Sunday.
Lieutenant Hanks.
179
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:27,298
Sir.
180
00:16:27,366 --> 00:16:30,130
- Complete the diving operation.
- Yes, sir.
181
00:16:30,202 --> 00:16:32,261
The copilot is still in the water.
182
00:16:32,337 --> 00:16:35,500
Caughlin, it's your turn over the side.
Bring that man home. Hat him.
183
00:16:35,574 --> 00:16:38,839
Take Chief Sunday to the chamber
for decompression.
184
00:16:45,151 --> 00:16:47,813
Lay back on him.
On the side!
185
00:16:47,887 --> 00:16:50,788
Diver comin' up
and over!
186
00:17:02,536 --> 00:17:05,027
- Chief?
- Drop the goddamn weight!
187
00:17:05,105 --> 00:17:06,800
Drop the weight!
188
00:17:19,854 --> 00:17:21,845
- Man overboard!
- Stand by divers, you're in!
189
00:17:21,923 --> 00:17:23,857
What the hell's going on?
190
00:17:23,925 --> 00:17:27,190
Master Chief,
we just lost Caughlin, sir.
191
00:17:27,262 --> 00:17:30,254
- We got a standby diver going...
- He can't wait that long.
192
00:17:30,332 --> 00:17:32,596
Tell me what you're doing?
I got a man on.
193
00:17:32,667 --> 00:17:34,999
Gonna bounce dive, put him on
a rescue line and yank him out.
194
00:17:35,070 --> 00:17:38,040
- Bounce dive?
- Bounce back before the nitrogen builds in my system.
195
00:17:38,107 --> 00:17:41,304
He's too deep already,
and you will call me sir.
196
00:17:41,377 --> 00:17:43,368
Goddamn it, I got a man dyin'
down there, sir!
197
00:17:43,446 --> 00:17:47,644
Give me a wrench! Give me
that spare life line and air hose!
198
00:17:47,717 --> 00:17:49,947
I've lost two men
on my watch.
199
00:17:50,019 --> 00:17:52,544
I've got another drowning, and I'm not
about to let you commit suicide.
200
00:17:52,622 --> 00:17:55,250
- You will stand fast!
- He'll be dead before you get to him!
201
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:58,419
- The air hose!
- Stand off! I'll take you to the captain's mast,
202
00:17:58,495 --> 00:18:01,362
and you will lose if you touch
that water, do you hear me?
203
00:18:01,431 --> 00:18:03,558
Yes, sir!
204
00:18:06,803 --> 00:18:08,896
Goddamn it!
205
00:18:28,426 --> 00:18:33,524
Master Chief Sunday,
you've sustained a serious embolism.
206
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:37,968
- Embolism?
- Both lobes of the lungs were severely scarred.
207
00:18:38,037 --> 00:18:40,301
Can't cheat the laws of nature
forever, can you, Doc?
208
00:18:40,372 --> 00:18:43,307
I'm afraid the condition's
totally inoperable.
209
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:45,935
Ain't that a bitch?
210
00:18:49,281 --> 00:18:52,718
So what happens next time I go diving?
I start taking on bottom pressure?
211
00:18:52,786 --> 00:18:56,153
Any increased pressure at all
will kill you, instantly.
212
00:18:56,222 --> 00:19:00,784
Kill me. Goddamn, for a minute there
I thought this was serious.
213
00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:03,385
- If you could keep your voice down.
- Hell, no.
214
00:19:03,463 --> 00:19:05,761
Goddamn,
I feel like singin', man.
215
00:19:05,832 --> 00:19:09,462
- Ah, fuck!
- Where are you going?
216
00:19:09,537 --> 00:19:13,064
Get me a drink. Celebrate. You had me going.
I thought I couldn't go diving no more.
217
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:16,109
- Chief Sunday, you're scaring the patients.
- How about me?
218
00:19:16,177 --> 00:19:20,238
Goddamn. Hey, I got an idea.
Maybe you can use me around here.
219
00:19:20,314 --> 00:19:23,306
Hell, I'm lookin'
to make a career move.
220
00:19:23,384 --> 00:19:27,082
Maybe, maybe you can get
someone to change the bed pans!
221
00:19:27,155 --> 00:19:30,989
- Change the fuckin' bed pans!
- Chief!
222
00:19:31,059 --> 00:19:33,789
- Change the fuckin' bed pans!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
223
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,434
Master Chief Sunday, given
your current physical condition...
224
00:19:42,504 --> 00:19:46,771
and the far graver issue...
225
00:19:46,843 --> 00:19:49,004
of your recent acts of misconduct,
226
00:19:49,078 --> 00:19:52,104
you will be medically
disqualified from diving,
227
00:19:52,181 --> 00:19:54,706
fined one-half month's pay
for three months...
228
00:19:54,784 --> 00:19:57,048
and reassigned
to a training position,
229
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,850
where it is
my greatest wish...
230
00:19:59,922 --> 00:20:03,222
that you will embrace
a new found respect for authority.
231
00:20:07,264 --> 00:20:09,198
This hearing is concluded.
232
00:20:43,102 --> 00:20:46,765
- That's what I want to be, sir.
- A Navy Master Diver?
233
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:50,104
- Yes, sir.
- Last week, you were a cook.
234
00:20:50,176 --> 00:20:54,840
- Well, the man I just saw...
- The man you saw is a Master Chief.
235
00:20:54,914 --> 00:20:57,748
That's the highest rank an enlisted man
can achieve in the U.S. Navy.
236
00:20:57,818 --> 00:21:01,413
A lot of good men spend a career
trying to get there and fail.
237
00:21:01,488 --> 00:21:04,082
Besides,
238
00:21:04,157 --> 00:21:06,682
they are not gonna take
a colored at diving school.
239
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,254
- It's as simple as that.
- What if you we're to give me a recommendation, sir?
240
00:21:11,331 --> 00:21:16,269
I just made you
a deck seaman three days ago.
241
00:21:16,337 --> 00:21:19,135
What else do I owe you?
242
00:21:19,207 --> 00:21:23,644
The way I see it,
I owe you, sir.
243
00:21:31,185 --> 00:21:34,451
I'll endorse your request,
244
00:21:34,523 --> 00:21:36,957
but it ain't gonna work.
245
00:22:12,413 --> 00:22:14,176
Wait outside.
246
00:22:22,156 --> 00:22:27,595
- Mr. Pappy, Boatswain's Mate Brashear's reporting for duty.
- Don't let him in, sailor.
247
00:22:36,004 --> 00:22:39,462
I'll be waiting on the hilltop
248
00:22:39,541 --> 00:22:43,477
Where the wild red roses grow
249
00:22:43,545 --> 00:22:48,108
Yeah. Well, look at Mr. Navy.
250
00:22:48,184 --> 00:22:50,812
Bell-bottoms bleached.
251
00:22:50,887 --> 00:22:52,878
Shoes all shined up.
252
00:22:52,955 --> 00:22:55,219
Now alls we need
is an organ grinder.
253
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:58,818
Welcome to Bayonne, New Jersey.
Pimple on God's ass.
254
00:22:58,895 --> 00:23:01,557
Chief Sunday, we never met,
but I served with you on the Hoist.
255
00:23:03,266 --> 00:23:06,168
U.S.S. Hoist.
I 'spect I 'member you now.
256
00:23:07,237 --> 00:23:09,171
So what's for chow, cookie?
257
00:23:09,239 --> 00:23:12,208
I wouldn't know, Chief.
I'm reporting for diving school.
258
00:23:12,276 --> 00:23:14,767
Oh, yeah, that's right.
259
00:23:14,845 --> 00:23:17,871
They say you wrote over 100 letters
requesting admission to this school.
260
00:23:17,948 --> 00:23:19,882
You got you
some grit in you, huh?
261
00:23:19,950 --> 00:23:24,718
- Yes, sir.
- Well, it's gonna be a hot one today.
262
00:23:30,628 --> 00:23:33,927
Sure hope you're better than the last cook.
That man's food could kill your dog.
263
00:23:36,334 --> 00:23:38,894
Chief.
264
00:23:54,186 --> 00:23:56,120
- Thank you.
- All righteous.
265
00:23:56,188 --> 00:23:58,123
There you go.
266
00:24:21,048 --> 00:24:23,778
Had yourself
anything to drink today?
267
00:24:23,851 --> 00:24:26,149
No, sir, Chief.
268
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:28,882
What say we go on into town
and get us a nice cold one?
269
00:24:28,956 --> 00:24:31,754
I can't do that, Chief.
I haven't reported for duty.
270
00:24:31,826 --> 00:24:35,763
I tell you what.
I'll buy you a tall one over there.
271
00:24:35,831 --> 00:24:40,325
A bus ticket too, so you can go back
to whatever burg you sprang from.
272
00:24:40,402 --> 00:24:43,132
What do you say?
273
00:24:43,205 --> 00:24:45,366
Sir, I am a Navy man.
274
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,704
Where I come from,
there are no oceans.
275
00:24:47,776 --> 00:24:50,904
Only dirt farms
and ornery mules.
276
00:24:52,715 --> 00:24:57,277
And no self-respecting Navy man
makes a living driving mules.
277
00:25:02,825 --> 00:25:05,453
Sir.
278
00:25:13,937 --> 00:25:15,871
You know what the Chinese say,
cookie?
279
00:25:18,809 --> 00:25:21,334
Beware what you wish for.
280
00:25:24,114 --> 00:25:27,015
- I stole a pie! I stole a pie!
- Let him in.
281
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,014
I stole a pie! I stole a pie!
282
00:25:32,090 --> 00:25:35,787
I stole a pie! I stole a pie!
283
00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:39,193
I stole a pie! I stole a pie!
284
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:46,361
Get in there.
Go on. Hoist away.
285
00:26:02,755 --> 00:26:05,452
Do... Don't stare at him.
286
00:26:05,525 --> 00:26:08,050
- Who is he?
- The commanding officer,
287
00:26:08,128 --> 00:26:11,894
but everyone calls him
Mr. Pappy.
288
00:26:11,965 --> 00:26:13,865
- He's a war hero.
- Here.
289
00:26:13,934 --> 00:26:16,300
They, they were gonna make him
an admiral up in D.C.
290
00:26:16,369 --> 00:26:20,738
'fore they, they found out he's got more,
more screws loose than a Studebaker.
291
00:26:20,807 --> 00:26:26,337
So they sent him here. Better salute him or
you'll be spending your first night in the brig.
292
00:26:28,749 --> 00:26:30,683
I stole a pie!
293
00:26:33,354 --> 00:26:36,255
Come on. I'll show you the barracks.
294
00:27:01,718 --> 00:27:03,379
Attention on deck!
295
00:27:12,028 --> 00:27:15,122
Gentlemen, in 1948,
296
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:18,498
President Harry S. Truman had the courage
and forward-thinking and enlightenment...
297
00:27:18,569 --> 00:27:21,163
to desegregate
the United States military.
298
00:27:21,238 --> 00:27:26,403
Now I want y'all to welcome the Bayonne
Diving School's first colored trainee,
299
00:27:26,477 --> 00:27:29,275
Bosun's Mate Second Class
Carl Brashear.
300
00:27:34,051 --> 00:27:37,317
I don't hear anyone welcomin'
Bosun's Mate Brashear.
301
00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:46,561
Master Chief,
no disrespect to the president,
302
00:27:47,632 --> 00:27:49,623
but I don't bunk with niggers.
303
00:29:03,345 --> 00:29:07,214
- Aren't you gonna go too?
- No.
304
00:29:08,485 --> 00:29:10,851
I'm from Wisconsin.
305
00:29:12,622 --> 00:29:14,556
Never been there.
306
00:29:20,930 --> 00:29:23,398
Haily gets a fast ball
low and inside for strike three,
307
00:29:23,466 --> 00:29:25,867
and Jackie Robinson strikes out.
308
00:29:32,176 --> 00:29:36,374
And the score as we had it
Brooklyn, one, Milwaukee, one.
309
00:29:44,289 --> 00:29:47,053
Rise and shine, cookie.
Time for trainin'.
310
00:29:52,531 --> 00:29:55,830
Are you familiar with
the principle of Boyle's Law?
311
00:29:55,901 --> 00:29:57,630
The what?
312
00:29:57,703 --> 00:30:00,400
I didn't hear your answer.
313
00:30:03,786 --> 00:30:06,016
Come on, cookie.
Get up.
314
00:30:06,088 --> 00:30:09,251
Boyle's Law states that,
at a constant temperature,
315
00:30:09,325 --> 00:30:14,262
the volume of a confined ideal gas
varies inversely with its pressure!
316
00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:17,925
- Now why is this law important in divin'?
- I don't know, Chief!
317
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,266
You ain't never gonna know, 'cause you're
just some dumb dirt nigger from Podunk!
318
00:30:21,338 --> 00:30:25,604
I know you. Your sweet smell hung in every
bunk and goddamn shack I ever lived in.
319
00:30:25,676 --> 00:30:29,237
Your nigger face stared at me
every time we had to leave...
320
00:30:29,313 --> 00:30:31,645
'cause your daddy could farm it
cheaper than mine.
321
00:30:31,715 --> 00:30:35,207
Mine drank himself into a $7 casket,
but that ain't gonna happen to me...
322
00:30:35,285 --> 00:30:37,481
because I'm a Master Diver!
323
00:30:37,555 --> 00:30:41,958
Maybe you'll remember that next time
you imply we got anything in common!
324
00:30:42,026 --> 00:30:43,994
You read me, cookie?
325
00:30:46,464 --> 00:30:48,796
- What?
- Get your goddamn Wisconsin ass...
326
00:30:48,867 --> 00:30:51,597
back to bed, Snowhill!
327
00:31:21,535 --> 00:31:25,665
The men you are watching
are going to be Navy divers.
328
00:31:25,739 --> 00:31:29,106
You bottom suckers are not fit
to observe them.
329
00:31:29,175 --> 00:31:31,303
Avert your eyes!
330
00:31:31,379 --> 00:31:34,212
My name is Master Chief
Billy Sunday.
331
00:31:34,282 --> 00:31:37,547
There's a preacher by the same
name cleaned up Chicago...
332
00:31:37,618 --> 00:31:41,349
of all the whorin' spics, drunken wops
and motherfuckin' niggers...
333
00:31:41,422 --> 00:31:45,722
that was makin' that place unfit
for decent white folks to live.
334
00:31:45,793 --> 00:31:48,957
The only difference between me
and that old preacher...
335
00:31:49,031 --> 00:31:52,523
is that he worked for God
and I am God!
336
00:31:55,637 --> 00:31:59,801
Now, why don't the first ten of
you Girl Scouts step forward?
337
00:31:59,875 --> 00:32:02,343
Come on! Drop your dicks!
Let's go!
338
00:32:04,446 --> 00:32:06,641
Three quarters of you
standing here today...
339
00:32:06,715 --> 00:32:09,276
will fail
to become Navy divers.
340
00:32:09,352 --> 00:32:12,321
Three from the first row,
step forward. Step forward!
341
00:32:16,259 --> 00:32:18,420
Of those unfortunates
that do pass,
342
00:32:18,494 --> 00:32:21,054
only three of you will live
to reach retirement...
343
00:32:21,130 --> 00:32:24,224
'cause divin' is the most
dangerous job in the Navy.
344
00:32:25,803 --> 00:32:28,237
So who wants to quit?
345
00:32:28,305 --> 00:32:30,330
Say it now,
who wants to quit?
346
00:32:30,407 --> 00:32:33,740
You got somethin' to offer, huh?
347
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:42,079
Who wants to save me the sweat
of training your sorry ass?
348
00:32:42,152 --> 00:32:44,883
You? You?
349
00:32:44,956 --> 00:32:46,890
Cookie?
350
00:32:51,029 --> 00:32:53,964
You?
351
00:32:54,032 --> 00:32:56,899
You gonna look me
in the eye, son, huh?
352
00:32:58,103 --> 00:33:00,799
What are you,
some kind of broke-dick Popeye?
353
00:33:02,475 --> 00:33:05,638
Huh? Let me guess.
354
00:33:05,711 --> 00:33:07,770
You were captain
of the swim team, weren't you?
355
00:33:07,847 --> 00:33:11,783
You and your girlfriend used
to practice the breast stroke!
356
00:33:16,489 --> 00:33:18,480
Say it
like you got a pair!
357
00:33:18,557 --> 00:33:21,391
- My w... wife.
- Oh, that's right.
358
00:33:21,461 --> 00:33:24,953
It's in your record.
You knocked her up sophomore year.
359
00:33:25,032 --> 00:33:28,524
Well, maybe you can bring
the little w... woman down one night...
360
00:33:28,602 --> 00:33:32,197
and all the boys can practice
the b... breast stroke.
361
00:33:34,675 --> 00:33:38,908
I heard you were a hell of a swimmer,
Snowhill. State champ?
362
00:33:38,980 --> 00:33:41,847
Yes, yes, Master Chief.
363
00:33:45,687 --> 00:33:48,315
Snowhill,
please step forward.
364
00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:50,323
Come on.
365
00:33:51,392 --> 00:33:53,326
About face.
366
00:33:57,199 --> 00:33:59,861
You let go before I relieve you,
367
00:33:59,935 --> 00:34:03,166
you fail my course right now,
got it, swim champ?
368
00:34:10,446 --> 00:34:14,816
Swimmin' don't got dick shit
to do with deep-sea divin'.
369
00:34:14,884 --> 00:34:16,909
If Johnny fuckin' Weismuller
were in the soup...
370
00:34:16,986 --> 00:34:19,546
wearin' a 200-pound
Mark Five divin' rig,
371
00:34:19,622 --> 00:34:21,556
he couldn't swim
to fuck Esther Williams...
372
00:34:21,624 --> 00:34:24,320
if she was three feet
in front of him buck naked.
373
00:34:24,394 --> 00:34:26,988
The only way to survive
is to trust each other,
374
00:34:27,063 --> 00:34:29,190
'cause underwater all you got
is the man next to you.
375
00:34:29,265 --> 00:34:32,360
And that is why the only men
that get through my course...
376
00:34:32,436 --> 00:34:34,495
are the very, very best.
377
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:36,506
Now get out of my sight.
378
00:34:38,075 --> 00:34:40,305
Boy, I don't know.
379
00:34:47,785 --> 00:34:49,844
Permission to relieve
the man below, Master Chief.
380
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,254
What are you, cookie,
some kind of goddamn hero?
381
00:34:53,325 --> 00:34:56,192
I got no room in my class for heroes
or stutterin' swim champs...
382
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:58,855
with a wife and kids
to worry about, do you read me?
383
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:02,491
If you wanna flunk me, flunk me, but
don't punish him for being decent to me.
384
00:35:02,567 --> 00:35:06,435
I don't have to flunk you. You're gonna do
that all on your own. He had half a chance.
385
00:35:06,505 --> 00:35:09,168
He still does.
Permission to relieve him.
386
00:35:09,242 --> 00:35:12,871
Claims he can hold his breath over four
minutes. Hell, it ain't even been two.
387
00:35:12,945 --> 00:35:16,847
I believe Gunner's Mate
Snowhill's a liar!
388
00:35:16,916 --> 00:35:20,079
Now we're men of honor, ain't we,
cookie? We don't abide liars.
389
00:35:20,153 --> 00:35:22,747
You're out of my program,
Snowhill.
390
00:35:22,822 --> 00:35:25,450
Bosun's Mate Brashear,
you have the barracks to yourself.
391
00:35:28,362 --> 00:35:30,762
Damn!
392
00:35:30,831 --> 00:35:32,765
The Navy diver
is not a fighting man.
393
00:35:32,833 --> 00:35:36,098
He is a salvage expert.
If it's lost underwater, he finds it.
394
00:35:36,170 --> 00:35:39,401
If it's sunk, he brings it up.
If it's in the way, he moves it.
395
00:35:39,473 --> 00:35:42,772
If he's lucky, he'll die young
200 feet beneath the waves...
396
00:35:42,843 --> 00:35:45,108
for that is the closest he will
ever get to being a hero.
397
00:35:45,180 --> 00:35:48,581
Hell, I don't know why anybody'd
want to be a Navy diver.
398
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:52,051
Good flange work, Rourke.
Almost there.
399
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,054
Thank you, Master Chief.
400
00:36:01,930 --> 00:36:04,328
Machinist's Mate Rourke, 91.
401
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,632
Bosun's Mate Brashear, 37.
402
00:36:08,704 --> 00:36:12,367
- If you fail the next test, you're out of the program.
- Yes, sir.
403
00:36:12,441 --> 00:36:16,673
There are seats of learning beyond
the walls and control of this camp.
404
00:36:22,886 --> 00:36:26,344
Ladies,
this is weekend liberty.
405
00:36:26,423 --> 00:36:31,759
Anyone's ass that ain't back here on time
will have to answer to me personally.
406
00:36:31,828 --> 00:36:35,389
And remember, ladies, one-night stands
may be over by mornin',
407
00:36:35,465 --> 00:36:38,161
but syphilis lasts a lifetime.
408
00:36:38,235 --> 00:36:41,569
Dismissed!
409
00:36:47,044 --> 00:36:51,481
Watch out.
410
00:36:56,220 --> 00:36:58,155
- Have fun, baby.
- Flowers!
411
00:36:58,223 --> 00:37:01,818
Flowers! Hey, how about some flowers
for your young lady, huh?
412
00:37:18,044 --> 00:37:20,137
What's the hitch?
413
00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:27,142
- You're the one who called.
- Yes, ma'am.
414
00:37:27,220 --> 00:37:31,122
I told you. We're a public library,
415
00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:33,887
not a tutoring service.
416
00:37:33,961 --> 00:37:38,591
Now, if you don't mind,
there is a Mr. Biddle at home.
417
00:37:38,666 --> 00:37:41,157
In fact, he's probably
brought flowers.
418
00:37:55,450 --> 00:37:58,977
Have a wonderful weekend.
And lock up, would you?
419
00:37:59,854 --> 00:38:02,888
And be sure to kick him out.
420
00:38:04,025 --> 00:38:08,294
- Hello.
- We're closed.
421
00:38:08,427 --> 00:38:13,058
Not for three minutes.
You studying on nursin'?
422
00:38:13,133 --> 00:38:16,261
A person doesn't study on
anything, Bosun's Mate.
423
00:38:19,172 --> 00:38:22,835
You know your rates and ranks. Did you
get that from one of these books?
424
00:38:25,445 --> 00:38:28,381
Look, I'm not here
to flirt with you.
425
00:38:28,449 --> 00:38:31,247
I'm in diving school
across the river.
426
00:38:31,319 --> 00:38:35,085
I'm not just good at it.
I was born for it.
427
00:38:35,156 --> 00:38:38,216
But the joke is, I'm gonna wash out
if I don't pass my next exam.
428
00:38:38,292 --> 00:38:40,726
What was the last grade
you completed in school?
429
00:38:40,795 --> 00:38:43,787
- Seventh.
- I can't help you.
430
00:38:43,865 --> 00:38:47,063
- Why not?
- Because it took me four years work at places like this...
431
00:38:47,136 --> 00:38:49,070
to get through med school.
432
00:38:49,138 --> 00:38:52,630
Now I have six weeks to study for
my exam. I pass, I become an intern,
433
00:38:52,708 --> 00:38:54,869
and maybe some day
become a doctor.
434
00:38:54,943 --> 00:38:58,902
You're too far behind,
and I don't have the time.
435
00:38:58,981 --> 00:39:02,109
Okay. Go on.
Walk around reading to yourself.
436
00:39:02,184 --> 00:39:04,813
- Don't give me another thought. Just go on.
- Don't you get it?
437
00:39:04,888 --> 00:39:08,221
Whether I help you or not doesn't
matter. You're gonna fail anyway.
438
00:39:08,291 --> 00:39:12,785
I won't. I can't.
439
00:39:15,231 --> 00:39:17,290
Why do you want this
so badly?
440
00:39:17,367 --> 00:39:19,665
Because they said
I couldn't have it.
441
00:39:39,958 --> 00:39:42,791
I may know
a professor at City...
442
00:40:29,042 --> 00:40:34,743
Boyle's Law describes the behavior of gases
under varying amounts of atmospheric pressure.
443
00:40:34,816 --> 00:40:38,650
It states that if a diver
holds his breath at 100 feet,
444
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:40,984
continues holding while rising
to ten feet,
445
00:40:41,055 --> 00:40:44,354
then the gases in his lungs
increase four times.
446
00:40:44,425 --> 00:40:46,359
Now why is this important
to a diver?
447
00:40:46,427 --> 00:40:48,759
Forget to exhale on the way up,
and your lungs explode.
448
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:56,294
I can work with you,
but my time is precious.
449
00:40:56,372 --> 00:41:00,001
So the first time you go out
drinking and fighting...
450
00:41:00,075 --> 00:41:03,044
and leave me waiting here,
our arrangement ends.
451
00:41:08,017 --> 00:41:10,417
Good morning.
452
00:41:19,963 --> 00:41:25,230
I have to open up.
453
00:41:25,302 --> 00:41:27,964
Now are you gonna tell me your
name, or is it still a secret?
454
00:41:28,038 --> 00:41:30,974
My name is Jo.
455
00:41:32,443 --> 00:41:35,071
My father always wanted
a boy.
456
00:41:36,213 --> 00:41:38,773
He was in the Navy too.
457
00:41:38,849 --> 00:41:43,218
- Is he still active?
- I haven't seen him since I was nine.
458
00:41:58,469 --> 00:41:59,903
Like this.
459
00:42:06,946 --> 00:42:09,073
- Good night.
- Good night.
460
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:13,241
Fire Controlman Mellegrano, 91.
461
00:42:13,319 --> 00:42:17,119
Mate DuBoyce, 85.
Engineman Crofoot, 69.
462
00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:21,286
Bosun's Mate Carl Brashear,
463
00:42:21,361 --> 00:42:23,296
76.
464
00:42:32,906 --> 00:42:35,136
Boots, cookie,
tear yourselves away, ladies.
465
00:42:35,209 --> 00:42:38,406
You're next in the water. You're gonna
go down to the training vessel,
466
00:42:38,479 --> 00:42:42,541
patch a hole so we can pump her full
of air and raise her to the surface.
467
00:42:42,617 --> 00:42:45,950
Then we're gonna sink her
and do it again.
468
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:50,855
Because underwater,
all you've got is the man next to you!
469
00:42:50,925 --> 00:42:53,291
Chief, what the hell's
goin' on down there?
470
00:42:53,361 --> 00:42:55,886
That boy stays down there any longer,
he's gonna start gettin' mail.
471
00:43:04,907 --> 00:43:07,671
Isert, come on.
Finish torching that hole.
472
00:43:07,743 --> 00:43:09,711
I'm tryin' but
this thing's real awkward.
473
00:43:11,347 --> 00:43:13,747
- How's it look?
- Looks like hell.
474
00:43:13,816 --> 00:43:16,250
Green Diver, this is
Master Chief Sunday.
475
00:43:16,318 --> 00:43:20,653
You have three minutes to get your patch hot
and hung before the next team comes down.
476
00:43:20,724 --> 00:43:22,851
Now, come on, Isert!
Move your raggedy ass!
477
00:43:22,926 --> 00:43:24,894
- Red Diver?
- Yes, Master Chief.
478
00:43:24,961 --> 00:43:28,089
God damn it, Rourke, I've had girlfriends
that could weld faster than that.
479
00:43:28,165 --> 00:43:30,725
Now move him along.
480
00:43:30,801 --> 00:43:34,362
- Come on, Isert. Now hang your patch.
- Yeah, okay, Rourke. I'm trying.
481
00:43:41,479 --> 00:43:44,846
- Hey, Isert, you feel that?
- Do I feel what?
482
00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:48,618
What the hell?
483
00:43:48,686 --> 00:43:52,588
Topside, this wreck is moving!
484
00:43:52,657 --> 00:43:54,853
She's limping, Chief!
We're sliding down!
485
00:43:54,927 --> 00:43:57,691
Somebody tell me
what just happened?
486
00:43:57,763 --> 00:44:00,027
- Topside!
- Get it! Grab that hose!
487
00:44:14,814 --> 00:44:18,750
- Red Diver, what's your situation?
- The ship just dropped 50 feet.
488
00:44:18,818 --> 00:44:22,310
- We landed on something.
- Better bring those boys home till we figure this out.
489
00:44:22,388 --> 00:44:26,552
- Square yourselves away. You're coming home.
- Negative on the come home.
490
00:44:26,626 --> 00:44:28,992
Isert's got his air hose tangled.
491
00:44:29,062 --> 00:44:32,692
- My air hose is stuck!
- Fouled. Now get it unfouled.
492
00:44:36,570 --> 00:44:38,936
Rourke, what's wrong?
Why are we movin'?
493
00:44:39,006 --> 00:44:41,474
- We slipped partway down the channel bank.
- Rourke!
494
00:44:45,312 --> 00:44:49,249
- This wreck is live!
- You get this off!
495
00:44:49,317 --> 00:44:51,808
- I'm gonna have to change out his lifeline and air hose.
- Listen, Rourke.
496
00:44:51,887 --> 00:44:55,118
He's your buddy. You follow his line back,
unfoul it and get him out of there.
497
00:44:55,190 --> 00:44:57,681
I'm trying, but it's just too tight.
Send down a line!
498
00:44:59,561 --> 00:45:01,654
Help!
499
00:45:01,730 --> 00:45:03,857
- I need help down here.
- Help's on the way.
500
00:45:03,932 --> 00:45:06,333
- I'm ready, Master Chief.
- Dennis, undress him.
501
00:45:06,402 --> 00:45:10,930
- You can't go down there.
- Better not be talking to me. I won't have your familiar tone.
502
00:45:12,174 --> 00:45:15,666
You can't dive that deep.
I'm ready. Let me go.
503
00:45:23,710 --> 00:45:26,578
Master Chief, it looks
like the ship slid down...
504
00:45:26,647 --> 00:45:29,878
on some discharge pipes
coming from that factory.
505
00:45:29,950 --> 00:45:34,046
They give out, and this whole ship's
going right to the bottom.
506
00:45:34,121 --> 00:45:37,784
You don't worry about that boat.
Just get that hose to Rourke.
507
00:45:44,432 --> 00:45:46,832
For God's sake!
508
00:45:46,902 --> 00:45:50,360
- What the hell was that, cookie?
- Look!
509
00:45:50,438 --> 00:45:52,633
The ship's weight is crushing
those pipes, Chief.
510
00:45:52,707 --> 00:45:55,505
Gotta get him on a fresh hose
and out of here fast!
511
00:45:55,577 --> 00:46:00,014
Topside, Blue Diver's here.
He's gota fresh line.
512
00:46:00,081 --> 00:46:03,347
All right, Isert. Rourke's gonna change you out,
and you're gonna be walking out of there.
513
00:46:03,419 --> 00:46:07,082
- Okay.
- That boy's got five minutes of air if he don't panic.
514
00:46:07,156 --> 00:46:09,522
You screw up the change out,
and that boy's dead, read me?
515
00:46:09,592 --> 00:46:12,993
- Yes, Master Chief.
- Isert, we're not gonna be able to talk for a few minutes.
516
00:46:13,062 --> 00:46:15,826
I want you to think of your favorite
song, and I want you to sing it.
517
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:19,733
- I don't know any songs.
- You got to slow your respiration. Breathe easy.
518
00:46:19,803 --> 00:46:23,603
- Just breathe easy.
- Please. I wasn't made for this.
519
00:46:23,674 --> 00:46:27,371
I want to go home now!
I want to go home now!
520
00:46:27,444 --> 00:46:29,378
Would you let me
come home now?
521
00:46:29,446 --> 00:46:33,746
I want to quit! I want to quit!
I really want to quit!
522
00:46:33,817 --> 00:46:36,753
- I want to quit!
- Change him out now!
523
00:46:39,958 --> 00:46:43,121
- She's movin', Chief!
- Come on, Rourke! I got him!
524
00:46:48,199 --> 00:46:51,726
Topside, Isert's off air.
525
00:46:55,207 --> 00:46:57,698
- What's going on down there?
- She's gonna roll over!
526
00:46:57,776 --> 00:47:01,303
I 'spect so. You stay down there,
and you change that boy out, hear me?
527
00:47:03,015 --> 00:47:06,416
- Rourke!
- I'm out of here!
528
00:47:06,485 --> 00:47:08,419
I gotta get out of here!
She's going down!
529
00:47:08,487 --> 00:47:10,580
- Rourke, come back here!
- Rourke!
530
00:47:10,656 --> 00:47:13,251
- Rourke, get back here!
- I ain't dying!
531
00:47:13,326 --> 00:47:15,260
- Rourke!
- I'm out of here.
532
00:47:15,328 --> 00:47:18,297
Don't leave!
Carl, don't leave me!
533
00:47:18,365 --> 00:47:22,358
I need my air hose!
I can't breathe, Carl!
534
00:47:22,435 --> 00:47:24,369
I'm getting dizzy!
535
00:47:50,766 --> 00:47:53,166
I can't breathe.
536
00:48:07,583 --> 00:48:11,212
- Topside, he's blacking out!
- Goddamn it, hook him up!
537
00:48:13,289 --> 00:48:16,725
I got it!
538
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,811
- We're coming home, Chief.
- Never doubted it.
539
00:49:09,748 --> 00:49:12,876
Machinist Mate First Class Rourke,
front and center!
540
00:49:25,398 --> 00:49:28,196
The president of the
United States of America...
541
00:49:28,268 --> 00:49:31,863
takes great pleasure in presenting the Navy
and Marine Corps Medal of Heroism...
542
00:49:31,938 --> 00:49:35,032
to Machinist Mate First Class
Dylan Rourke,
543
00:49:35,108 --> 00:49:38,772
whereby Petty Officer Rourke
on the 22nd of September...
544
00:49:38,846 --> 00:49:41,076
of the year 1952,
545
00:49:41,149 --> 00:49:43,083
with apparent disregard
for his own life,
546
00:49:43,151 --> 00:49:47,485
did, at Bayonne, New Jersey, save the life
of Petty Officer Timothy Douglas Isert.
547
00:50:09,244 --> 00:50:11,178
Post.
548
00:50:21,925 --> 00:50:24,155
Class 0252 dismissed.
549
00:50:58,797 --> 00:51:02,255
- Carl?
- Hey, I got your telegram.
550
00:51:02,334 --> 00:51:05,462
No, no, no. I got the wire.
How's Daddy doing?
551
00:51:05,537 --> 00:51:07,971
Is he up and around again?
552
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,016
Yeah! Yeah!
553
00:52:22,686 --> 00:52:26,053
Hello? Carl? Is that you?
554
00:52:26,122 --> 00:52:29,182
Hey, Jo.
Hey, it's me.
555
00:52:29,259 --> 00:52:31,420
Where are you?
Are you okay?
556
00:52:31,494 --> 00:52:34,725
No, I'm okay. I'm okay.
557
00:52:35,698 --> 00:52:38,459
Listen...
558
00:52:39,837 --> 00:52:41,771
Could you meet me?
559
00:52:43,941 --> 00:52:47,069
- Goddamn it!
- Okay. I'll stay here.
560
00:52:47,144 --> 00:52:52,810
Damn it! The miserable son of a bitch
in there drinkin' on my anniversary!
561
00:53:03,228 --> 00:53:05,958
You're the one, aren't you?
562
00:53:09,701 --> 00:53:11,931
Well, I'm Gwen... Sunday.
563
00:53:21,814 --> 00:53:23,839
Sorry to hear that.
564
00:53:32,658 --> 00:53:35,628
You know he's gonna
kick you out of the Navy.
565
00:53:40,701 --> 00:53:43,192
He's gonna kick you out
of diving.
566
00:53:49,576 --> 00:53:52,842
So what
you gonna do about it?
567
00:53:52,914 --> 00:53:56,145
You just gonna let him run you over,
just like you do everyone else?
568
00:54:01,790 --> 00:54:04,486
You know, he's in there
right now.
569
00:54:06,661 --> 00:54:09,186
He wanted a party,
570
00:54:09,264 --> 00:54:11,597
let's give him one.
571
00:54:16,595 --> 00:54:18,392
She told me...
572
00:54:18,464 --> 00:54:21,194
it was okay
to dance with a girl.
573
00:54:28,775 --> 00:54:31,369
Oh, I love this song!
574
00:54:40,754 --> 00:54:44,884
Donny, be a dear lad
and get us two scotches.
575
00:54:44,958 --> 00:54:49,623
- We're out.
- Lucky for us, you got a whole bar full of bourbon.
576
00:55:01,309 --> 00:55:03,334
What the hell are you doing,
bringin' him in here?
577
00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:12,246
- Get out.
- Well, I'll be goddamned.
578
00:55:12,321 --> 00:55:15,188
It's prom night
here at the Moor Bar.
579
00:55:15,257 --> 00:55:18,693
You boys, you have
a drink on me. Go ahead.
580
00:55:23,166 --> 00:55:25,396
Hell, I don't know
who classes up the joint more...
581
00:55:25,468 --> 00:55:29,234
the fetching young lady
in the fur stole or cookie here.
582
00:55:29,305 --> 00:55:34,333
So what'd you two kids come here
to do anyway? Dance?
583
00:55:34,410 --> 00:55:38,210
Why not take a turn?
It's a free country, mostly.
584
00:55:38,281 --> 00:55:40,750
You made a big mistake,
walking in here, cookie.
585
00:55:40,818 --> 00:55:45,084
- Oh, it's my fault.
- It's all your fault.
586
00:55:45,155 --> 00:55:49,114
Spoiled little rich girl gets her kicks
draggin' stray men in here.
587
00:55:49,193 --> 00:55:54,130
Thinks we're just a bunch of sweaty rednecks
she can shake up for the fun of it.
588
00:55:54,198 --> 00:55:59,159
Hey, Donny, be a dear lad
and bring the lady a fresh soldier.
589
00:56:00,605 --> 00:56:02,766
Think you deserve a beer,
don't you?
590
00:56:02,841 --> 00:56:05,503
Fraternizing among Navy men.
591
00:56:05,577 --> 00:56:08,102
Think you're
as good as they are?
592
00:56:08,179 --> 00:56:10,113
How 'bout me, cookie?
You better than me?
593
00:56:10,181 --> 00:56:12,011
You're damn right, I am.
594
00:56:18,724 --> 00:56:20,749
You see this pipe?
595
00:56:20,826 --> 00:56:25,525
General MacArthur himself
smoked this pipe.
596
00:56:25,598 --> 00:56:27,657
I served with him
in Leyte Gulf.
597
00:56:27,733 --> 00:56:29,928
Biggest naval battle
in history.
598
00:56:30,002 --> 00:56:33,369
Kamikaze ripped into this escort
carrier, name of Saint Lo.
599
00:56:33,439 --> 00:56:38,969
She went down on a shallow reef,
trapping me and six boys in the fire room.
600
00:56:39,045 --> 00:56:41,843
- Only one way out.
- Flood the compartment and swim up.
601
00:56:41,915 --> 00:56:46,045
Five decks, cookie.
Five fuckin' decks.
602
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:48,349
Locked bulk heads,
dead bodies everywhere.
603
00:56:48,422 --> 00:56:52,951
You got to have your balls
screwed on tight for that swim.
604
00:56:53,027 --> 00:56:57,020
We still had intercom. Old MacArthur
himself came over that squawk box,
605
00:56:57,098 --> 00:56:59,032
Sunday,
you cocky son of a bitch,
606
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:03,332
I bet you can't hold your breath for
four minutes and swim out of there.
607
00:57:03,404 --> 00:57:06,032
Know what I said back?
608
00:57:06,107 --> 00:57:10,305
No, Mac, I can't, but
I'll bet you your cob pipe...
609
00:57:10,378 --> 00:57:13,712
I can hold it for five, 'cause that's
what it's gonna take, motherfucker.
610
00:57:13,782 --> 00:57:16,717
- Carl, this ain't worth...
- Get your hands off me.
611
00:57:16,785 --> 00:57:20,482
There's six men still breathin' today,
'cause I led 'em out of that fire room.
612
00:57:20,556 --> 00:57:24,014
And now just 'cause you pulled little
Isert's white little fuckin' ass...
613
00:57:24,092 --> 00:57:27,721
out of some row boat sunk in a mud puddle,
you think you're better than me?
614
00:57:27,796 --> 00:57:30,027
Well, let's just see.
615
00:57:37,407 --> 00:57:40,899
What's your bet, cookie?
616
00:57:40,977 --> 00:57:44,743
- Put Snowhill back in diving.
- What do you owe him?
617
00:57:44,814 --> 00:57:47,215
- Nothing. You owe him.
- Oh, yeah?
618
00:57:47,284 --> 00:57:52,119
Fine. If I win, you ship out,
tonight. Deal?
619
00:57:55,759 --> 00:57:58,319
Deal.
620
00:57:58,395 --> 00:58:02,164
Show him, Master Chief!
621
00:58:02,998 --> 00:58:05,091
Will you be my tender?
622
00:58:05,167 --> 00:58:07,602
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
623
00:58:10,674 --> 00:58:13,871
Come on, baby!
624
00:58:33,964 --> 00:58:35,955
Let's go, baby!
625
00:58:37,802 --> 00:58:40,327
Come on, now.
626
00:58:44,743 --> 00:58:47,234
Come on, Sunday!
627
00:58:50,982 --> 00:58:55,146
- Go!
- Come on, Master Chief Sunday!
628
00:59:10,436 --> 00:59:13,462
One minute,
fifteen seconds.
629
00:59:39,033 --> 00:59:42,491
Two minutes,
twenty-five seconds.
630
00:59:42,570 --> 00:59:46,028
Hey, it's another
ten bucks right here!
631
00:59:48,743 --> 00:59:50,711
Sunday, do it!
632
00:59:56,719 --> 01:00:00,314
Three minutes,
ten seconds!
633
01:00:12,502 --> 01:00:15,232
Come on.
634
01:00:15,305 --> 01:00:18,172
- Four minutes!
- Four minutes! Four!
635
01:00:19,609 --> 01:00:21,543
- Stop it!
- No.
636
01:00:21,611 --> 01:00:24,409
- Chief.
- Stop it! Stop!
637
01:00:37,361 --> 01:00:41,957
Rourke, stop it!
638
01:00:46,971 --> 01:00:52,604
Carl, you okay?
Carl?
639
01:00:52,678 --> 01:00:55,977
- Carl?
- Chief Sunday, you all right?
640
01:00:56,048 --> 01:00:58,448
- Hold it!
- You all right, Chief Sunday?
641
01:00:58,517 --> 01:01:00,985
- I'm okay.
- Hold him up.
642
01:01:01,053 --> 01:01:03,487
- I got it.
- Hold it!
643
01:01:03,555 --> 01:01:06,319
- He's all right.
- Come on!
644
01:01:06,392 --> 01:01:08,326
Come on, hold him up!
645
01:01:09,394 --> 01:01:11,557
Let's go!
646
01:01:11,631 --> 01:01:15,123
She tried to drive off the pier
like a crazy woman!
647
01:01:15,201 --> 01:01:16,695
Get her outta the car!
648
01:01:18,371 --> 01:01:22,569
- Hey, hey.
- You know, today's my wedding anniversary.
649
01:01:22,642 --> 01:01:24,941
You're gonna be all right.
650
01:01:25,012 --> 01:01:28,470
Come on, move, move.
Come on, babe.
651
01:01:28,549 --> 01:01:33,350
- No, not you, Billy!
- Come on, baby, come on.
652
01:01:33,420 --> 01:01:35,354
Bastard!
653
01:01:35,422 --> 01:01:38,585
Come on, baby. Come on.
654
01:01:41,161 --> 01:01:45,326
- Come on, baby, let's go home.
- Yeah?
655
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,301
- Come on.
- Yeah?
656
01:01:48,370 --> 01:01:51,305
Go on home now.
Nothin' to see here.
657
01:01:52,908 --> 01:01:54,842
Jo.
658
01:01:54,910 --> 01:01:56,844
Jo!
659
01:01:59,214 --> 01:02:03,379
I can't do this, Carl.
I can't live this life again.
660
01:02:03,452 --> 01:02:07,286
I pulled my father out of
more Navy bars than I care to count.
661
01:02:07,356 --> 01:02:10,814
- Jo, you don't know what happened tonight.
- Oh, but I do.
662
01:02:15,164 --> 01:02:17,155
I passed my finals.
663
01:02:17,233 --> 01:02:20,567
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jo.
664
01:02:20,637 --> 01:02:24,095
The point is, I'm gonna be
starting my internship at Bellevue.
665
01:02:24,174 --> 01:02:27,371
- It's gonna be crazy hours. I won't have time to see you.
- I made a mistake.
666
01:02:27,444 --> 01:02:30,106
- It won't happen again.
- Oh, yes, it will.
667
01:02:30,180 --> 01:02:35,117
You wanted to fight that man.
You were just waiting for the moment.
668
01:02:35,185 --> 01:02:40,123
Don't you see...
I'm not like you?
669
01:02:40,191 --> 01:02:43,786
The things I want...
670
01:02:46,164 --> 01:02:50,430
The things I want
are smaller.
671
01:02:50,501 --> 01:02:53,231
If I just work hard
and keep my head down...
672
01:02:53,304 --> 01:02:56,570
Your whole life
will pass you by.
673
01:03:03,649 --> 01:03:07,085
Carl, most of what's
in those diving books...
674
01:03:07,152 --> 01:03:10,087
you know better than,
than me.
675
01:03:10,155 --> 01:03:13,819
You don't need me anymore.
You don't need anyone.
676
01:03:13,893 --> 01:03:16,384
I love you.
677
01:03:38,886 --> 01:03:40,820
Jo!
678
01:03:40,888 --> 01:03:43,049
Jo! Jo!
679
01:03:43,124 --> 01:03:46,719
- Jo! Hey, Jo!
- What?
680
01:03:46,794 --> 01:03:49,958
Jo! Marry me!
681
01:03:50,032 --> 01:03:52,500
He wants to know
if you'll marry him.
682
01:04:23,866 --> 01:04:26,034
Come in.
683
01:04:26,103 --> 01:04:29,266
Watch the door, Chief.
Try not to touch anything.
684
01:05:05,111 --> 01:05:08,478
Did you know
that ordinary house dust...
685
01:05:08,547 --> 01:05:11,710
is composed primarily
of human skin?
686
01:05:13,486 --> 01:05:15,545
No, sir,
I didn't know that.
687
01:05:15,621 --> 01:05:20,559
Makes you think twice
about who you invite into your home.
688
01:05:31,905 --> 01:05:34,396
Two table spoons
of machine oil...
689
01:05:34,474 --> 01:05:37,272
can contaminate...
690
01:05:37,344 --> 01:05:42,180
an entire ship's
fresh water supply.
691
01:05:44,352 --> 01:05:47,788
Some things just don't mix.
692
01:05:49,924 --> 01:05:52,757
Do they, Chief?
693
01:05:55,463 --> 01:05:58,024
He's gonna pass.
694
01:05:58,100 --> 01:06:01,627
Yesterday, he scored
a 94 on his final.
695
01:06:01,703 --> 01:06:04,035
Sir, he don't have to be
that fast tomorrow.
696
01:06:04,106 --> 01:06:06,870
All he's got to do
is complete the exercise.
697
01:06:11,914 --> 01:06:14,611
Billy...
698
01:06:19,489 --> 01:06:23,289
there may come a day when a colored
diver graduates from this school,
699
01:06:23,359 --> 01:06:27,090
but it won't be tomorrow
or as long as I'm here.
700
01:06:29,165 --> 01:06:31,656
You agree with me,
of course.
701
01:06:33,204 --> 01:06:37,334
- Don't you, Chief?
- Yes, sir.
702
01:07:13,451 --> 01:07:16,045
Baseball season's
over, cookie.
703
01:07:17,789 --> 01:07:20,758
I figured Rourke.
I never even let myself think...
704
01:07:20,825 --> 01:07:24,283
- Why not?
- 'Cause I saw your last dive.
705
01:07:26,364 --> 01:07:30,301
You want to know what I am?
I'm the sorry son a bitch put here...
706
01:07:30,369 --> 01:07:34,465
to get through your thick fucking skull
that some things do not change.
707
01:07:34,540 --> 01:07:37,168
- I deserve to pass.
- Since when does deserving mean anything?
708
01:07:37,243 --> 01:07:39,177
They ain't gonna have
a colored diver.
709
01:07:39,245 --> 01:07:42,806
'Cause no matter what you do, in their
eyes, you'll never be as good as them.
710
01:07:42,881 --> 01:07:45,180
- So, deserving or otherwise, you're failing.
- No, you are.
711
01:07:45,252 --> 01:07:47,277
You think
I owe you somethin'?
712
01:07:47,354 --> 01:07:50,221
I don't owe you
a goddamn fucking thing.
713
01:07:50,290 --> 01:07:53,851
You or anybody else. You got fucked,
cookie. Happens to the best of us.
714
01:07:53,927 --> 01:07:56,760
You were right, Chief.
You and I have nothing in common.
715
01:07:56,830 --> 01:08:00,732
I may be some dirt dumb nigger from Podunk,
but at least I'm making something of myself.
716
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,202
You, you're the same hateful,
little man you started out as.
717
01:08:04,272 --> 01:08:06,570
Without diving,
you're nothing...
718
01:08:06,641 --> 01:08:10,077
but a lost, broke-down son of a bitch
who used to be something.
719
01:08:26,828 --> 01:08:29,092
Hey!
720
01:08:29,164 --> 01:08:31,997
What did he say to you
to make you try so hard?
721
01:08:32,067 --> 01:08:34,399
Be the best.
722
01:08:34,469 --> 01:08:36,562
Well, you are.
723
01:08:38,373 --> 01:08:42,310
Just don't show up tomorrow.
Pappy ain't gonna let you pass.
724
01:08:47,550 --> 01:08:49,882
What about you, Chief?
725
01:08:54,123 --> 01:08:57,855
Today will decide
which of you will become Navy Divers.
726
01:08:57,928 --> 01:09:02,388
The object of this test is to correctly
assemble this flange underwater.
727
01:09:02,466 --> 01:09:05,299
The pieces required for assembly
await you on the river bottom.
728
01:09:05,369 --> 01:09:09,738
Once you have located your project
flange, you will call for your tools.
729
01:09:09,807 --> 01:09:12,401
They will be lowered to you.
730
01:09:12,476 --> 01:09:16,937
You will be timed on your effort and will
accrue points for a speedy completion.
731
01:09:17,015 --> 01:09:20,576
However, we'll keep pumping air down to you
for as long as you can stand the cold.
732
01:09:20,652 --> 01:09:24,713
So take your time
and get it right.
733
01:09:51,517 --> 01:09:54,180
If you do not complete the flange,
734
01:09:54,254 --> 01:09:57,712
you have just wasted
six months of your lives.
735
01:10:08,635 --> 01:10:12,970
Divers, square yourselves away
and approach the rail.
736
01:10:54,017 --> 01:10:57,145
Topside, I have located
my work light.
737
01:11:17,741 --> 01:11:19,675
Topside, Blue Diver.
738
01:11:19,743 --> 01:11:22,941
I have located my project
and am requesting my toolbag.
739
01:11:23,014 --> 01:11:27,348
Topside, this is Red Diver.
I have located my project flange.
740
01:11:27,419 --> 01:11:31,515
- Requesting my tool bag.
- Tenders, lower your tool bags.
741
01:11:55,314 --> 01:11:58,374
Topside, Blue Diver.
I'm still waiting on my tool bag.
742
01:12:31,519 --> 01:12:34,818
Blue Diver, your tool bag
is on the river bottom.
743
01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:55,935
Chief, start the project time
on all divers.
744
01:13:20,738 --> 01:13:24,299
Machinist Mate Rourke,
one hour, thirty-seven minutes.
745
01:13:24,375 --> 01:13:27,139
Perfect assembly.
746
01:13:49,135 --> 01:13:53,196
Survey or Second Class Yarmouth,
two hours, nineteen minutes.
747
01:13:53,272 --> 01:13:55,900
Perfect assembly.
748
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,024
I never thought
I'd live to see it.
749
01:14:15,095 --> 01:14:18,963
Four hours and nine minutes. Better
late than never, Engineman Crofoot.
750
01:14:19,033 --> 01:14:22,230
Perfect assembly.
How's the water down there?
751
01:14:22,302 --> 01:14:25,238
It's colder than
a well digger's ass, Master Chief.
752
01:14:25,306 --> 01:14:27,469
Take it inside.
753
01:15:05,942 --> 01:15:08,206
What do you mean,
he's still not up?
754
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,798
Excuse me.
755
01:16:19,353 --> 01:16:21,344
Dive station,
Master Diver speaking.
756
01:16:21,422 --> 01:16:24,357
Chief Sunday, we have every cook
and shine boy in this camp...
757
01:16:24,425 --> 01:16:26,723
thinking they'll be next
to try a stunt like this.
758
01:16:26,794 --> 01:16:28,728
So you listen up.
759
01:16:28,796 --> 01:16:31,288
Don't bring him up
till he stops moving.
760
01:16:31,366 --> 01:16:33,300
He's near dead now, sir.
761
01:16:33,368 --> 01:16:35,563
Not till he stops moving,
Chief.
762
01:16:42,878 --> 01:16:44,846
Give it up, cookie.
763
01:16:44,913 --> 01:16:47,643
You go into shock down there,
you might not wake up.
764
01:16:47,716 --> 01:16:50,584
Come on, now.
This ain't worth dyin' for.
765
01:16:50,653 --> 01:16:52,848
My name is...
766
01:16:52,922 --> 01:16:56,688
Bosun's Mate Second Class...
767
01:16:56,759 --> 01:16:59,023
Carl Brashear.
768
01:17:01,230 --> 01:17:03,425
I am a Navy Diver.
769
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:32,890
Bring him up.
Bring him up!
770
01:17:32,964 --> 01:17:34,898
- I got him.
- We're bringing him home.
771
01:17:34,966 --> 01:17:38,424
Sailor,
disregard that order!
772
01:17:40,004 --> 01:17:42,837
Sailor! Sailor!
773
01:17:42,907 --> 01:17:47,811
Chief Sunday,
effective immediately,
774
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:51,281
I am relieving you
of your duties!
775
01:17:51,350 --> 01:17:53,784
Do you hear me, Chief?
776
01:17:56,689 --> 01:17:59,089
Hold the line.
Hold that line.
777
01:18:22,016 --> 01:18:25,645
Come on, Brashear.
You're almost there.
778
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,053
Just a few more steps.
Come on, we'll help you.
779
01:18:31,859 --> 01:18:34,521
A little more.
780
01:18:34,595 --> 01:18:36,529
That's it.
781
01:18:45,407 --> 01:18:47,568
Open it up.
782
01:19:06,095 --> 01:19:08,359
Bosun's Mate Second Class
Carl Brashear,
783
01:19:08,431 --> 01:19:10,865
nine hours,
thirty-one minutes.
784
01:19:10,934 --> 01:19:13,563
Perfect assembly.
785
01:19:20,778 --> 01:19:22,712
Get him inside.
786
01:19:25,883 --> 01:19:28,511
Help him out!
787
01:19:40,398 --> 01:19:43,196
Carl, did you hear...
788
01:19:43,268 --> 01:19:45,998
- Slow down, Snowhill.
- They put me back in the diving program.
789
01:19:46,071 --> 01:19:48,596
- I start training next week.
- Congratulations.
790
01:19:48,673 --> 01:19:51,541
Thanks, Carl.
791
01:19:51,611 --> 01:19:54,842
Hey, I almost forgot.
You hear about Sunday?
792
01:19:54,914 --> 01:19:59,715
- No.
- Mr. Pappy blew a gasket when the son of a bitch passed you.
793
01:19:59,785 --> 01:20:03,016
He busted him down a shred
and shipped him out.
794
01:20:03,089 --> 01:20:05,523
I guess that fucker
got his in the end, huh?
795
01:20:07,193 --> 01:20:09,594
I guess he did.
796
01:20:15,068 --> 01:20:17,093
Guess he did.
797
01:20:59,581 --> 01:21:03,951
Will you still say
798
01:21:04,020 --> 01:21:07,148
I love you, dear...
799
01:21:22,273 --> 01:21:25,367
From the gentleman.
800
01:21:38,521 --> 01:21:40,457
You hate champagne.
801
01:21:41,525 --> 01:21:43,688
You got a diving assignment.
802
01:21:43,762 --> 01:21:46,253
Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Stand by diver.
803
01:21:46,331 --> 01:21:49,300
Brooklyn? Brooklyn!
804
01:21:49,367 --> 01:21:53,064
Oh, baby, we can have dinner
like an old married couple.
805
01:21:53,138 --> 01:21:55,800
Oh, well, baby,
I didn't take the job.
806
01:21:55,874 --> 01:21:59,038
We've been waiting three years
for that slot to open up.
807
01:21:59,112 --> 01:22:01,580
Jo, I don't move up
in rank unless I dive.
808
01:22:01,647 --> 01:22:05,048
And I'll never make Master as a stand by
diver. I'll find something else.
809
01:22:11,824 --> 01:22:15,352
- I'm three months late.
- Late for what?
810
01:22:21,535 --> 01:22:25,164
You're gonna have
a real baby?
811
01:22:25,239 --> 01:22:29,005
We're gonna have a baby!
We're gonna have a real baby!
812
01:22:29,076 --> 01:22:31,203
We're gonna have a baby.
813
01:22:31,278 --> 01:22:35,976
Ladies, gentlemen, and the rest of you
lowdown cats, it's time to ring in the New Year.
814
01:22:36,047 --> 01:22:41,314
- Happy New Year.
- Five, four, three, two, one.
815
01:22:41,385 --> 01:22:44,354
- Happy New Year.
- Happy New Year!
816
01:22:48,159 --> 01:22:50,650
You'll never know
817
01:22:50,728 --> 01:22:54,256
Just how much I love you
818
01:22:54,333 --> 01:22:58,565
Absolutely. You have to stand them up,
being we have 16, 20 years of experience.
819
01:22:58,637 --> 01:23:01,105
You have to get in their face
and let them know who's boss.
820
01:23:01,173 --> 01:23:03,903
If you don't, they'll never
salute you the rest of your life.
821
01:23:03,976 --> 01:23:06,604
So I'm sitting there...
Excuse me.
822
01:23:06,678 --> 01:23:11,116
What'd I tell you, huh?
He don't remember me.
823
01:23:14,454 --> 01:23:18,823
Senior Chief Sunday,
U.S.S. Hoist.
824
01:23:18,891 --> 01:23:22,793
You ended my diving
career, Lieutenant.
825
01:23:22,862 --> 01:23:26,457
Lieutenant Commander Hanks.
Pleased to meet you.
826
01:23:26,532 --> 01:23:29,730
That was a long time ago, Chief.
827
01:23:29,803 --> 01:23:32,567
Ancient history.
828
01:23:32,639 --> 01:23:36,336
Well, we just came by
to say hey.
829
01:23:36,410 --> 01:23:39,277
- Hey.
- Auld lang syne and all.
830
01:23:39,346 --> 01:23:43,476
Auld lang syne. I didn't
know you had a daughter.
831
01:23:43,550 --> 01:23:46,418
Right.
832
01:23:46,488 --> 01:23:48,456
She's quite lovely.
833
01:23:48,523 --> 01:23:53,358
Okay, we gotta go now because
Billy's gonna dance with me.
834
01:23:53,428 --> 01:23:55,521
Happy New Year.
835
01:23:55,597 --> 01:23:57,792
- Come on, Billy.
- Have fun.
836
01:23:57,866 --> 01:24:00,494
- You're gonna dance with your lovely wife, right?
- Yeah.
837
01:24:07,109 --> 01:24:10,772
Mmm, you see?
Now, wasn't that easy?
838
01:24:10,846 --> 01:24:13,110
Has been.
839
01:24:13,182 --> 01:24:18,779
- Yes.
- No. Billy.
840
01:24:18,854 --> 01:24:22,313
- He's the biggest drunk in the Navy is all he is.
- Billy!
841
01:24:32,302 --> 01:24:35,100
Are you all right, sir?
842
01:24:38,108 --> 01:24:41,806
Senior Chief Sunday,
I find you guilty...
843
01:24:41,879 --> 01:24:44,905
of violating Article 90 of the
Uniform Code of Military Justice
844
01:24:44,982 --> 01:24:47,348
assaulting a superior
commissioned officer.
845
01:24:47,418 --> 01:24:50,251
Your conduct
is completely unacceptable.
846
01:24:50,321 --> 01:24:53,484
You'll be fined one half
month's pay for six months,
847
01:24:53,558 --> 01:24:56,618
restricted to the confines
of the base for two months...
848
01:24:56,694 --> 01:25:00,756
and are hereby reduced in rank
to Chief Petty Officer.
849
01:25:00,833 --> 01:25:01,467
For those just joining
us, our top story continues to unfold...
850
01:25:01,467 --> 01:25:04,300
For those just joining us,
our top story continues to unfold...
851
01:25:04,369 --> 01:25:07,395
thousands of miles away
in the Mediterranean Sea.
852
01:25:07,473 --> 01:25:10,203
Just hours ago,
an American B-52 bomber...
853
01:25:10,275 --> 01:25:13,005
flying a routine mission
over the coast of Spain...
854
01:25:13,078 --> 01:25:15,603
slammed into the snowy
Spanish countryside.
855
01:25:15,681 --> 01:25:20,085
Moments before disappearing off radar,
the crew jettisoned their nuclear payload.
856
01:25:20,153 --> 01:25:22,678
Three 50-megaton warheads
parachuted to Earth.
857
01:25:22,755 --> 01:25:24,950
Two were immediately recovered.
858
01:25:25,024 --> 01:25:29,051
- However, a third hydrogen bomb remains lost at sea.
- You made it.
859
01:25:29,129 --> 01:25:33,293
- United States Navyships have sonar systems to aid them...
- Becky, come get your toys.
860
01:25:33,366 --> 01:25:36,803
in their tedious, often frustrating
search of the sea floor.
861
01:25:36,871 --> 01:25:39,863
Investigating a deep water find
will be the work of Alvin,
862
01:25:39,940 --> 01:25:44,138
a two-man submersible on loan from
the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
863
01:25:44,211 --> 01:25:48,511
And yet, even as U.S. Navy ships comb
the Mediterranean in search of the warhead,
864
01:25:48,582 --> 01:25:50,550
so do Russian submarines.
865
01:25:50,618 --> 01:25:54,020
According to maritime law, the bomb
which disappeared in international waters...
866
01:25:54,089 --> 01:25:56,557
belongs to the first
to find it.
867
01:25:56,625 --> 01:25:59,651
Charged with locating and recovering
the lost bomb before the Soviets do...
868
01:25:59,728 --> 01:26:02,720
are the elite Navy deep-sea
divers pictured here.
869
01:26:02,797 --> 01:26:07,393
Stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, the divers
were flown by jet to the scene just hours ago,
870
01:26:07,469 --> 01:26:11,201
many still dressed in the same uniforms
they were wearing only this morning.
871
01:26:22,185 --> 01:26:24,619
Blue Diver,
this is Captain.
872
01:26:28,357 --> 01:26:30,588
Blue Diver, come in.
873
01:26:30,661 --> 01:26:34,495
I'm here, Hart.
What do you need?
874
01:26:34,565 --> 01:26:37,728
Carl, I'd appreciate it if you
could find my lost nuke for me.
875
01:26:37,801 --> 01:26:40,326
I'd like to make admiral
sometime before I die.
876
01:26:40,404 --> 01:26:43,032
I'm doing my best, Hart.
877
01:27:08,067 --> 01:27:10,592
Captain.
878
01:27:10,669 --> 01:27:14,264
Topside, I have an unidentified metal
object protruding from the sea bottom.
879
01:27:14,340 --> 01:27:16,672
He's got something.
Proceed with extreme caution.
880
01:27:16,742 --> 01:27:18,767
Roger that.
881
01:27:27,654 --> 01:27:30,020
Topside, we have a Coke can.
882
01:27:30,090 --> 01:27:32,581
Goddamn Coke can.
883
01:27:32,659 --> 01:27:35,753
Bring it on up anyway, Chief.
I like my ocean clean.
884
01:27:38,965 --> 01:27:43,300
Turn that equipment off.
We got a diver down there.
885
01:27:43,371 --> 01:27:46,636
- That's not our sonar.
- What are you talking about?
886
01:27:46,707 --> 01:27:50,074
Shit.
887
01:27:50,144 --> 01:27:52,578
Alpha Whiskey,
this is Charlie Victor.
888
01:27:52,647 --> 01:27:56,674
I've got an unknown object in my perimeter,
classified, probable submarine.
889
01:27:56,751 --> 01:28:01,052
Blue Diver, Blue Diver, we got an unknown
contact. Probable Russian submarine...
890
01:28:01,123 --> 01:28:05,992
bearing at two-zero-niner at sixteen knots
and headed directly for your position.
891
01:28:06,061 --> 01:28:09,519
Take immediate evasive action.
Repeat, immediate evasive action.
892
01:28:09,598 --> 01:28:14,194
Prepare for emergency surface. Blue Diver,
do you hear me? Blue Diver, do you hear me?
893
01:28:14,269 --> 01:28:16,203
Blue Diver?
894
01:28:18,908 --> 01:28:20,400
Talk to me, Carl.
895
01:28:50,374 --> 01:28:52,172
Talk to me, Carl.
896
01:29:04,856 --> 01:29:06,983
Come in, Blue Diver.
897
01:29:16,202 --> 01:29:19,399
Quarter master, tell the dive station
to supply us a standby.
898
01:29:19,472 --> 01:29:21,406
Come in, Carl.
899
01:29:31,685 --> 01:29:34,654
Come on, Carl.
900
01:29:52,907 --> 01:29:56,775
- Carl, you read me?
- I'm here, Captain.
901
01:29:56,844 --> 01:29:59,210
He's there.
902
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:03,546
- Prepare to surface, Carl. We're bringing you home.
- Roger that.
903
01:30:11,693 --> 01:30:16,528
You wanna do me a favor? The next time
you scare me, give me a courtesy warning first.
904
01:30:27,644 --> 01:30:30,841
Captain, that sub kicked up
half the ocean bottom.
905
01:30:30,914 --> 01:30:34,145
- It found it for us!
- You're kidding me.
906
01:30:34,217 --> 01:30:36,742
Oh, yeah!
907
01:30:36,820 --> 01:30:39,687
He thinks he found it.
Yeah, you got it.
908
01:30:39,756 --> 01:30:43,124
That's it. You got it.
909
01:30:43,194 --> 01:30:47,563
Steady! Steady!
I'm pulling it in!
910
01:30:47,631 --> 01:30:50,998
- Bring it up!
- Pull it up here, boys.
911
01:30:51,068 --> 01:30:54,526
Steady!
It's coming up to port.
912
01:30:54,605 --> 01:30:58,564
Let's go, boys!
We got an A-bomb!
913
01:30:58,642 --> 01:31:01,407
It's coming up, boys!
Let's go now! Let's go, boys!
914
01:31:01,480 --> 01:31:05,271
We got a heavy one here.
915
01:31:16,482 --> 01:31:19,680
Move!
916
01:32:21,284 --> 01:32:23,252
Jo?
917
01:32:27,490 --> 01:32:31,450
Baby. Baby.
918
01:32:31,529 --> 01:32:34,498
I was so scared.
919
01:32:34,565 --> 01:32:37,398
I'm sorry.
920
01:32:43,174 --> 01:32:45,267
Oh, shit.
921
01:32:49,514 --> 01:32:52,915
Your leg was nearly severed.
922
01:32:56,288 --> 01:32:58,483
It's gonna take time to heal.
923
01:33:00,692 --> 01:33:04,924
Eventually, you're gonna be able
to walk again with a cane.
924
01:33:07,867 --> 01:33:10,165
Can I still dive?
925
01:33:12,638 --> 01:33:14,606
I'm so sorry.
926
01:33:50,645 --> 01:33:52,840
Come home, Carl.
927
01:34:00,488 --> 01:34:04,892
Mrs. Sunday, your husband was
found drunk on a public beach.
928
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:09,192
He's an alcoholic and must
remain in detox for 30 days.
929
01:34:09,265 --> 01:34:12,428
If he should stagger,
he will not fall!
930
01:34:12,501 --> 01:34:15,800
If he should fall, he will
fall in such a manner...
931
01:34:15,871 --> 01:34:20,434
as to cover up his rate so that
passersby will think he's an officer.
932
01:34:23,380 --> 01:34:26,543
A chief petty officer
shall not drink!
933
01:34:26,616 --> 01:34:30,211
And if he should drink,
he shall not get drunk!
934
01:34:30,287 --> 01:34:34,018
If he should get drunk,
he shall not stagger!
935
01:34:34,090 --> 01:34:37,457
And if he should stagger,
he shall not fall!
936
01:34:37,527 --> 01:34:42,227
And if he should fall, he will fall in
such a manner as to cover up his rate...
937
01:34:42,300 --> 01:34:46,066
so that passersby
will think he's an officer!
938
01:34:46,137 --> 01:34:49,573
We're all extremely
proud of you, Chief Brashear.
939
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:54,577
Now, get better, so you can go home
and enjoy your retirement.
940
01:34:54,645 --> 01:34:57,945
How do you plan to spend
your retirement, Chief Brashear?
941
01:34:58,016 --> 01:35:00,416
How does it feel to be a hero?
942
01:35:20,473 --> 01:35:22,407
How are you?
943
01:36:02,117 --> 01:36:04,051
Sweetheart...
944
01:36:08,457 --> 01:36:10,687
you're never gonna dive again.
945
01:36:15,564 --> 01:36:18,465
And what you gotta do now...
946
01:36:18,534 --> 01:36:20,729
I can't help you with.
947
01:36:25,741 --> 01:36:27,835
But when you're
ready to leave...
948
01:36:27,911 --> 01:36:30,175
and if you can promise me...
949
01:36:30,247 --> 01:36:33,148
that you'll never
take another drink again,
950
01:36:33,216 --> 01:36:36,811
I'll be waiting for you
in that car over there.
951
01:36:39,923 --> 01:36:42,084
But if you can't...
952
01:36:48,599 --> 01:36:50,863
then you just walk on by.
953
01:37:34,380 --> 01:37:37,042
Package for you, sir.
954
01:38:00,308 --> 01:38:03,243
I want to come back.
955
01:38:03,311 --> 01:38:05,671
- To where, Chief?
- Full diving duty.
956
01:38:05,743 --> 01:38:08,234
I want to dive again.
957
01:38:08,312 --> 01:38:12,043
Carl, I understand, but...
958
01:38:12,116 --> 01:38:15,109
But it's just not possible.
959
01:38:15,187 --> 01:38:19,817
- Good afternoon, Admiral.
- Carl, this is Cap...
960
01:38:19,891 --> 01:38:22,291
- Captain Hanks.
- Chief Brashear.
961
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:25,727
Captain Hanks has been assigned
as a senior officer...
962
01:38:25,797 --> 01:38:29,255
at the Personnel Policy
Control Board at the Pentagon.
963
01:38:29,334 --> 01:38:31,495
He'll be joining us
for a few weeks,
964
01:38:31,570 --> 01:38:35,405
meeting some of the men from the front lines,
getting a feel for their concerns.
965
01:38:35,474 --> 01:38:37,499
Yes, and to return
to the chief's primary concern.
966
01:38:37,577 --> 01:38:42,037
Working as a Navy diver
with one good leg and the other...
967
01:38:42,114 --> 01:38:44,844
I'm sorry.
It's just not possible.
968
01:38:44,917 --> 01:38:47,408
Cut it off.
969
01:38:49,722 --> 01:38:53,682
Pilots injured in flying accidents have
requested amputation of injured limbs.
970
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:57,093
Fitted with the right prosthesis, several
of them have returned to active duty.
971
01:38:59,566 --> 01:39:04,629
Cut off my leg and assemble a full medical
review board 12 weeks from today.
972
01:39:04,705 --> 01:39:08,971
It is then that I will demonstrate that
I am fit to return to full diving duty.
973
01:39:09,042 --> 01:39:11,534
I want to make Master Chief.
974
01:39:13,414 --> 01:39:18,215
We admire your courage, Chief,
however misplaced it may be.
975
01:39:18,286 --> 01:39:22,279
Please excuse us.
976
01:39:30,799 --> 01:39:36,465
I am a doctor, Carl.
My opinion might mean something here.
977
01:39:39,775 --> 01:39:45,577
I guess not. How are you
gonna come back with one leg?
978
01:39:45,649 --> 01:39:49,050
I could barely read once.
I found a way.
979
01:39:49,119 --> 01:39:51,349
Yeah.
980
01:39:51,421 --> 01:39:54,447
I could put up with
the months at sea,
981
01:39:54,524 --> 01:39:58,426
the dangerous assignments that
you never said no to, but this...
982
01:39:58,495 --> 01:40:01,089
What do you want from me?
983
01:40:01,164 --> 01:40:05,864
Do you want me to come home,
mow the lawn, put a wheelchair ramp in?
984
01:40:05,936 --> 01:40:10,202
- How am I gonna look at my own son?
- Leave him out of this.
985
01:40:10,274 --> 01:40:14,711
You're not doing this for him or for me.
This is about you.
986
01:40:14,779 --> 01:40:17,270
It's always been about you.
987
01:40:17,348 --> 01:40:21,250
Admit it, Carl.
988
01:40:21,319 --> 01:40:24,153
At least give me that much.
989
01:40:33,565 --> 01:40:36,295
Why are you doing this to me?
990
01:40:40,907 --> 01:40:42,898
Answer me, goddamn it!
991
01:40:42,975 --> 01:40:47,275
Or I'm walking out of here,
and I am not coming back.
992
01:41:21,616 --> 01:41:23,641
I love you, Jo.
993
01:43:44,399 --> 01:43:46,833
Get away from me!
994
01:43:46,902 --> 01:43:49,336
Piece of shit!
995
01:43:49,404 --> 01:43:51,895
Cookie.
996
01:43:51,973 --> 01:43:55,204
Goddamn!
997
01:43:55,277 --> 01:43:57,905
Looks like I missed
one hell of a party.
998
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:08,079
I've been all over.
Trouble, mostly.
999
01:44:08,157 --> 01:44:12,457
Navy gave me this second-class
diving school in Little Creek.
1000
01:44:12,528 --> 01:44:14,621
Don't amount to shit.
1001
01:44:18,235 --> 01:44:20,169
I made some calls.
1002
01:44:22,105 --> 01:44:24,198
Come Friday,
that Captain Hanks...
1003
01:44:24,274 --> 01:44:27,641
he's gonna convene a medical review
board, and he's gonna retire you.
1004
01:44:29,913 --> 01:44:32,882
- He said I had four weeks.
- He lied, cookie.
1005
01:44:32,950 --> 01:44:36,546
He don't give a shit how many
one-legged push-ups you can do.
1006
01:44:36,621 --> 01:44:39,784
He'd trade you and me and every
other old sea dog in the Navy...
1007
01:44:39,857 --> 01:44:42,451
for one glass-eyed
electronics technician.
1008
01:44:42,527 --> 01:44:44,552
The man's gonna retire
your ass.
1009
01:44:44,629 --> 01:44:46,620
I got my leg back.
I ain't done yet.
1010
01:44:46,698 --> 01:44:50,225
You got a stump on a wooden stick and
no goddamn chance of beating Hanks, son.
1011
01:44:55,608 --> 01:44:58,406
All I ever wanted to do
was to make Master Diver.
1012
01:44:58,477 --> 01:45:01,913
All I ever wanted to do
was stay one.
1013
01:45:01,981 --> 01:45:07,351
You want to beat Hanks, you've got to
go around him, right to the top.
1014
01:45:07,419 --> 01:45:09,411
Washington.
1015
01:45:10,489 --> 01:45:13,584
- Chief of Naval Personnel.
- That's right.
1016
01:45:13,660 --> 01:45:17,721
And they don't like cocky pencil-pushers
like Hanks any more than we do.
1017
01:45:20,667 --> 01:45:23,227
I might be able
to pull a few strings.
1018
01:45:29,977 --> 01:45:32,070
Why are you doing this,
Sunday?
1019
01:45:35,516 --> 01:45:37,450
Piss people off.
1020
01:45:37,518 --> 01:45:41,887
Chief Decker, you are the Chief Master
at Arms of this hospital, are you not?
1021
01:45:41,956 --> 01:45:44,584
Yes, sir.
1022
01:45:44,659 --> 01:45:49,597
Then why is it you don't know
where Chief Brashear is?
1023
01:45:49,665 --> 01:45:52,225
He shouldn't be
too hard to spot.
1024
01:45:52,301 --> 01:45:55,828
He is the only Negro
diver in the Navy,
1025
01:45:55,904 --> 01:45:57,895
and he's got one leg.
1026
01:45:57,973 --> 01:46:02,307
It seems that the chief
has transferred, sir.
1027
01:46:02,377 --> 01:46:04,709
To where?
1028
01:46:04,780 --> 01:46:08,273
- On whose orders?
- He signed his own orders, sir.
1029
01:46:08,351 --> 01:46:12,082
- Call the Shore Patrol.
- Relax, Cap. We just wanna talk.
1030
01:46:13,690 --> 01:46:17,649
Wait, wait, wait, wait. You know
where Chief Brashear is. Where?
1031
01:46:20,330 --> 01:46:23,766
I see. Fine.
Chief Brashear is AWOL.
1032
01:46:23,833 --> 01:46:25,995
I want him found
and arrested now.
1033
01:46:26,070 --> 01:46:30,131
- You ain't gonna find him.
- What do you want from me, Chief?
1034
01:46:30,207 --> 01:46:33,108
Four weeks to train him, then
a full readiness evaluation...
1035
01:46:33,177 --> 01:46:35,907
and reinstatement hearing with
the Chief of Naval Personnel.
1036
01:46:35,979 --> 01:46:37,708
The chief of...
1037
01:46:37,781 --> 01:46:40,147
- Yes, sir.
- At the Navy Yard in Washington?
1038
01:46:40,217 --> 01:46:42,082
- That's right.
- Forget it.
1039
01:46:47,359 --> 01:46:51,693
Will the diver be allowed
to be reinstated?
1040
01:46:51,763 --> 01:46:56,632
Seems Chief Brashear losing his leg for
his country sort of makes him a hero, sir.
1041
01:46:56,701 --> 01:46:58,635
Fine.
1042
01:47:03,242 --> 01:47:07,542
I will grant you your hearing
on one condition, hmm?
1043
01:47:07,613 --> 01:47:11,549
When he fails, you retire.
1044
01:47:11,617 --> 01:47:14,314
He ain't gonna fail.
1045
01:47:57,933 --> 01:48:00,458
Minute, five faster.
1046
01:48:04,506 --> 01:48:07,236
See you in court.
1047
01:49:42,523 --> 01:49:45,084
Captain Hanks has ordered you
to remain here, Chief.
1048
01:50:11,888 --> 01:50:14,254
Please be seated,
Senior Chief Brashear.
1049
01:50:20,030 --> 01:50:23,466
Only the Army
salutes indoors, Senior Chief.
1050
01:50:23,534 --> 01:50:26,799
Sir, in the Navy I grew up in,
a salute is warranted...
1051
01:50:26,871 --> 01:50:29,431
given the gravity
of this occasion, sir.
1052
01:50:29,507 --> 01:50:32,635
Well, we're in a new Navy now,
Senior Chief.
1053
01:50:37,681 --> 01:50:40,446
Shall we begin?
1054
01:50:41,620 --> 01:50:43,554
Senior Chief Brashear,
1055
01:50:43,622 --> 01:50:46,523
one day the life of another
diver may depend on you.
1056
01:50:46,591 --> 01:50:50,652
Do you honestly feel
that as a man...
1057
01:50:52,364 --> 01:50:56,096
You're almost 40.
You have one leg.
1058
01:50:56,169 --> 01:50:59,866
Can you really keep up with
healthy divers half your age?
1059
01:50:59,939 --> 01:51:04,501
The question is, sir,
can they keep up with me?
1060
01:51:07,113 --> 01:51:09,547
- Bring the suit.
- Yes, sir.
1061
01:51:11,050 --> 01:51:13,382
No smoking out here, Chief.
1062
01:51:25,666 --> 01:51:30,194
Studies of the Navy's
experimental diving unit...
1063
01:51:30,270 --> 01:51:34,537
indicate that if the subject
were to become unconscious...
1064
01:51:34,609 --> 01:51:38,841
or deceased, the disparity
between the buoyancy characteristics...
1065
01:51:38,913 --> 01:51:43,714
of a prosthetic and a limb
would hinder him in a free dive mode.
1066
01:51:43,785 --> 01:51:47,516
You mean if he drowned,
he wouldn't float right, yes?
1067
01:51:47,589 --> 01:51:50,559
- Yes, sir.
- Sir, I promise,
1068
01:51:50,626 --> 01:51:55,120
if I am killed at sea, I will make
every effort to die like a Navy man.
1069
01:52:21,191 --> 01:52:24,319
I just thought you should see
the future of Navy deep sea diving.
1070
01:52:24,394 --> 01:52:26,989
This is the latest HEO-2
mixed gas rig.
1071
01:52:27,064 --> 01:52:29,897
It weighs 290 pounds,
and the men who want to use it,
1072
01:52:29,967 --> 01:52:32,492
before they can even begin
the diving qualifications,
1073
01:52:32,570 --> 01:52:35,903
will be required to walk
12 steps, unassisted.
1074
01:52:38,209 --> 01:52:41,269
Could you do that,
Senior Chief Brashear?
1075
01:52:48,387 --> 01:52:50,753
Yes, sir, I could.
1076
01:52:50,822 --> 01:52:53,518
Well, I see.
1077
01:52:53,592 --> 01:52:56,755
As much as I hate
to prolong this another day,
1078
01:52:56,828 --> 01:52:58,819
I will, in the interests
of thoroughness,
1079
01:52:58,897 --> 01:53:01,457
make arrangements for you
to demonstrate your contention.
1080
01:53:01,533 --> 01:53:04,435
Here, sir. Now.
1081
01:53:04,504 --> 01:53:08,440
Son, step aside, or I'll have to
crack you right in the jaw.
1082
01:53:11,244 --> 01:53:14,213
Senior Chief Brashear,
I hardly think this is the appropriate...
1083
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:19,616
- I want them all to see, sir.
- Captain Hanks, sir, I concur with your assessment.
1084
01:53:23,757 --> 01:53:27,056
These slippery floors alone prohibit
such a demonstration, sir.
1085
01:53:27,127 --> 01:53:31,860
Chief Sunday, haven't you had enough trouble
in your career? Your advice is unwelcome.
1086
01:53:31,932 --> 01:53:35,197
- Who is this man?
- Chief Leslie W. Sunday, sir.
1087
01:53:35,269 --> 01:53:39,798
You swam out of the Saint Lo
at Leyte Gulf.
1088
01:53:41,409 --> 01:53:45,038
You held your breath
for four minutes.
1089
01:53:45,113 --> 01:53:47,206
Five, sir.
1090
01:53:48,817 --> 01:53:50,808
He can stay.
1091
01:53:53,254 --> 01:53:56,314
Fine. Irrelevant.
1092
01:53:56,391 --> 01:54:00,055
Gentlemen, sirs,
returning to the issue at hand.
1093
01:54:00,129 --> 01:54:04,190
This is not the time or place
for Senior Chief Brashear...
1094
01:54:06,335 --> 01:54:09,463
Excuse me, Senior Chief,
is there a problem?
1095
01:54:12,742 --> 01:54:18,613
Captain Hanks, I have spent most of my
life in the Navy trying only to succeed.
1096
01:54:18,682 --> 01:54:22,584
However, my quest has come at a great
personal loss to those who love me.
1097
01:54:22,653 --> 01:54:25,281
They, too,
have made sacrifices.
1098
01:54:25,355 --> 01:54:28,552
They, too, have endured
great pains to support me.
1099
01:54:28,625 --> 01:54:33,859
If I walk these 12 steps today,
reinstate me to active duty.
1100
01:54:33,931 --> 01:54:35,956
Give me my career back.
1101
01:54:36,034 --> 01:54:40,130
Let me finish it
and go home in peace.
1102
01:54:42,707 --> 01:54:46,143
Senior Chief Brashear,
the business of the modern Navy...
1103
01:54:46,210 --> 01:54:50,237
Forgive me, sir. But to me,
the Navy is not a business.
1104
01:54:50,314 --> 01:54:54,251
We have many traditions. In my career,
I have experienced most of them.
1105
01:54:54,319 --> 01:54:56,913
Some good, some bad.
1106
01:54:56,989 --> 01:55:00,948
However, I wouldn't be here today if it
weren't for our greatest tradition of all.
1107
01:55:01,026 --> 01:55:03,756
And which one is that?
1108
01:55:03,829 --> 01:55:06,559
Honor, sir.
1109
01:55:15,341 --> 01:55:18,242
Get on with it,
Senior Chief.
1110
01:55:20,914 --> 01:55:22,848
Leslie?
1111
01:55:24,584 --> 01:55:26,745
What leg you got on?
1112
01:55:26,820 --> 01:55:29,619
My walkin' leg, Leslie.
1113
01:55:29,690 --> 01:55:32,215
It was my dad's name.
You got a problem with that?
1114
01:55:32,293 --> 01:55:35,023
Oh, no.
No problem at all.
1115
01:55:40,835 --> 01:55:44,202
That thing's light duty.
Gonna snap like a match stick.
1116
01:55:44,271 --> 01:55:46,740
Not if I keep my weight
on my good leg.
1117
01:55:46,808 --> 01:55:50,869
Two hundred and ninety pounds on one leg?
You'll be passed out by the sixth step.
1118
01:55:52,447 --> 01:55:55,416
Tenders, hat the diver.
1119
01:56:44,652 --> 01:56:46,643
Navy Diver, stand up.
1120
01:56:48,356 --> 01:56:50,483
Leave him.
1121
01:56:50,558 --> 01:56:54,085
Captain, if I recall the Navy
regulation manual correctly,
1122
01:56:54,161 --> 01:56:56,789
the diver
may be helped to his feet.
1123
01:56:56,864 --> 01:56:59,698
This is a lot of brass to sling up
from a seated position, sir.
1124
01:56:59,768 --> 01:57:03,636
It's spun copper, Chief.
We haven't used brass in a decade.
1125
01:57:03,705 --> 01:57:07,471
And the new manual states
the diver must rise unassisted.
1126
01:57:07,542 --> 01:57:11,137
That's what it says
in the new book, sir?
1127
01:57:11,213 --> 01:57:14,512
If I may ask, Captain,
how would you know?
1128
01:57:14,583 --> 01:57:16,346
I wrote it.
1129
01:57:19,289 --> 01:57:21,280
Yes, sir.
1130
01:57:27,230 --> 01:57:29,892
Navy Diver, stand up.
1131
01:57:39,476 --> 01:57:42,570
Square that rig
and approach the rail.
1132
01:58:03,034 --> 01:58:04,558
One.
1133
01:58:06,671 --> 01:58:08,070
Two.
1134
01:58:10,709 --> 01:58:12,234
Three.
1135
01:58:15,781 --> 01:58:17,271
Four.
1136
01:58:20,219 --> 01:58:21,652
Five.
1137
01:58:24,357 --> 01:58:25,756
Six.
1138
01:58:27,159 --> 01:58:28,456
Seven.
1139
01:58:29,997 --> 01:58:32,591
Eight.
1140
01:58:38,305 --> 01:58:40,773
Gentlemen, his leg.
1141
01:58:40,841 --> 01:58:43,776
Please. Gentlemen.
1142
01:58:46,313 --> 01:58:49,340
- Navy Diver, stand down.
- Diver, you will disregard.
1143
01:58:49,417 --> 01:58:52,250
- This is my detail.
- Admiral.
1144
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:57,314
Goddamnit, cookie, move your ass!
I want my 12!
1145
01:59:09,271 --> 01:59:11,796
Nine. The Navy diver
is not a fighting man.
1146
01:59:11,874 --> 01:59:15,640
He is a salvage expert.
Ten.
1147
01:59:15,711 --> 01:59:19,306
If it's lost underwater, he finds it.
If it's sunk, he brings it up.
1148
01:59:19,381 --> 01:59:22,544
If it's in the way,
he moves it!
1149
01:59:22,618 --> 01:59:27,249
Eleven. If he's lucky, he will
die young 200 feet beneath the waves,
1150
01:59:27,323 --> 01:59:30,315
for that is the closest he will
ever get to being a hero!
1151
01:59:30,393 --> 01:59:33,726
Hell, I don't know why anybody
would want to be a Navy diver.
1152
01:59:33,797 --> 01:59:36,630
Now, you report
to this line, cookie!
1153
01:59:40,370 --> 01:59:43,397
At ease.
1154
01:59:54,218 --> 01:59:58,154
Tenders, unhat that diver.
1155
02:00:20,346 --> 02:00:23,509
The United States Navy
proudly reinstates...
1156
02:00:23,583 --> 02:00:27,713
Senior Chief and Diver
Carl Brashear...
1157
02:00:27,787 --> 02:00:30,620
to full, active duty.
1158
02:00:37,197 --> 02:00:39,688

02:01:06,494 --> 02:01:08,394
I can quit.

The man I married never quit
anything a day in his life.

I love you.

I love you too, baby.
I love you too.
