:22:07
Just happens to be in our neighborhood.
:22:10
Packed to the gills
with radar, sonar and radio equipment.
:22:14
Control, sonar.
:22:16
Target bearing 195...
:22:18
...medium screws, no turn count.
:22:20
No other targets.
:22:21
Very well, sonar.
Try to get a turn count on him.
:22:23
Turn count, aye.
:22:30
You get a good diving fix?
:22:31
Right, sir. We're putting it through
the inertial system now.
:22:34
- Final trim at one-third speed, captain.
- Very well, Ed.
:22:37
What's our target doing, radar?
:22:40
Mark. Bearing, 195.
:22:43
Range, 3000.
:22:45
Looks like we have the beginning
of a temperature gradient at 50 feet.
:22:49
Take her to 300 feet, Ed.
Hold your speed as is.
:22:51
- No point in giving him a demonstration.
- Three hundred feet, aye.
:22:54
Make it 300 feet.
Give me 20 degrees down.
:22:57
Three hundred feet, 20 degrees down, aye.
:23:02
Sir, this message just came in.
:23:04
Thank you.
:23:11
Attention, all hands. This is the captain.
A Norwegian freighter...
:23:14
...has just picked up another distress signal
from Ice Station Zebra. Quote:
:23:18
"For God's sake, hurry. " Unquote.
:23:20
The rest of the transmission is garbled.
:23:22
So somebody's still alive up there.
:23:25
The last estimated position
of the British camp was 85 north, 21 west.
:23:29
But we can't pin it down.
Their position drifts with the ice pack.
:23:33
The United States and Soviet Russia
are making a joint effort...
:23:37
...to reach the survivors.
:23:38
An ice storm has ruled out any chance
of air rescue by either side.
:23:42
So we're going in under the ice pack.
:23:46
One more thing.
:23:48
We have with us a British civilian.
:23:50
I'm authorized to tell you
his name is Jones.
:23:54
There are classified aspects to his mission,
which means it's none of our business...
:23:59
...so let's leave him alone.
I'll keep you informed.
