She sunk to 400 feet.
:28:05
Know how much water pressure
there is that deep?

:28:22
Mazzola, you will be
the first one eating
powdered eggs on this cruise.

:28:25
Keep it up, you hear?
:28:33
Come in.
:28:41
This is our position, Captain.
We're still bucking
some pretty heavy seas.

:28:44
I estimate us to be
about three hours
behind schedule.

:28:48
I told Mr. Emmett
to run at flank speed
and hold off a trim dive...

:28:50
until we make up
the lost time.
That's fine, Lieutenant.

:28:56
You're a first-rate X.O.,
Andy.

:28:59
A damn good submariner.
:29:03
I know the men like you.
:29:06
I'd give my life
for any one of them, sir.

:29:08
I know you would.
I'm not questioning
your bravery.

:29:12
The question is:
What about their lives?

:29:17
You and Mr. Emmett
are good friends.

:29:20
You went to the Academy
together.

:29:23
Would you be willing
to sacrifice his life?

:29:26
Or what about
some of the younger
enlisted men?

:29:29
You know,
a lot of those guys look up
to you like a big brother.

:29:32
You willing to lay
their lives on the line?

:29:37
You see?
You hesitate.

:29:40
But as a captain, you can't.
:29:43
You have to act.
:29:45
If you don't, you put
the entire crew at risk.

:29:48
Now that's the job.
It's not a science.

:29:53
You have to be able to make
hard decisions, based on
imperfect information.

:29:57
Asking men to carry out orders
that may result in their deaths.
