:16:00
I'll drop in from time to time
to make sure you're...

:16:02
Here, captain?
:16:04
Comfortable.
:16:07
Here. Keep this with you.
:16:09
This is a nuclear submarine,
as you know.

:16:12
We'll check you from time to time
for radiation.

:16:14
That's very kind of you.
:16:16
You know, Mr. Jones...
:16:18
...it isn't every day that somebody
as important as Admiral Garvey...

:16:22
...flies from London to Holy Loch...
:16:24
...to personally hand me a copy
of somebody's orders.

:16:28
What are you up to?
:16:30
Isn't it there?
:16:36
It does say:
:16:38
"Mr. Jones is to be taken into
your fullest confidence...

:16:41
...and will be extended every facility
and all aid... "

:16:44
That puts a great deal
of responsibility on me.

:16:47
It's a stunning character reference too,
don't you think?

:16:51
And it is signed
by the chief of naval operations.

:16:54
You must be delighted to know
what a trustworthy fellow I am.

:17:04
But there's not a word here,
Mr. Jones, about...

:17:07
...why, or your part of the mission.
:17:09
- Question of explaining me to your men?
- No.

:17:12
- But there has been some speculation.
- I see.

:17:17
That door soundproof?
:17:19
More or less.
:17:20
Yes.
:17:22
And...
:17:26
...is it true, captain,
that aboard United States naval vessels...

:17:30
...no whiskey is ever served?
:17:36
I'm to extend to you every facility...
:17:40
...short of endangering the submarine
or the lives of the crew.

:17:44
That could include
a pint of medicinal whiskey.

:17:47
If you happen to be seasick.
:17:49
I am. Habitually.
:17:51
All right.
:17:52
Now... about your mission.
:17:57
I wouldn't insult you
by swearing you to secrecy.

:17:59
I think the most expedient thing,
since you have your orders, is to obey them.
