:11:02
Why didn't you just say no?
:11:05
$35,000.
:11:06
It paid the down payment
on my house.
:11:08
New administration wanted to prove
they're doing something new.
:11:11
How'd you come up with this team. . .
:11:13
. . .of a biologist, an astrophysicist
and a mathematician?
:11:16
Right.
:11:17
-How?
-I don't know.
:11:19
It sounded good, right?
Made them come to me.
:11:23
I forgive you, Norman.
I forgive you!
:11:25
But I don't forgive you for Ted.
He's a pain in the ass.
:11:29
I'll talk to him.
:11:30
We'll be there 2 hours.
You don't have to be around him.
:11:32
He idolizes you anyways, but I'll talk
to him. I'll buy you dinner.
:11:36
-I'm sorry.
-Your secret's safe with me. Come on.
:11:39
I can't believe this thing could. . . .
Like a dream.
:11:42
Have you called your wife?
:11:44
Why not?
:11:47
This'll be a saturation dive.
:11:49
You'll be going to a habitat
in 1 ,000 feet of water.
:11:52
A sub will take you to the Habitat
and you'll transfer aboard.
:11:55
At 1 ,000 feet, your body
will be pressurized for that depth.
:11:58
You could actually take a quick dip.
The pressure wouldn't bother you.
:12:02
Although I wouldn't recommend it
because the water's so cold. . .
:12:05
. . .you'd freeze to death
in less than 2 minutes.
:12:08
That's the reason for the diving suits.
:12:10
Your helmet has a rebreather
for your air supply.
:12:13
Following this briefing, I'll take you
to an onboard dive tank.
:12:17
For the next 8 hours. . .
:12:19
. . .you'll train in deep-saturation dive
techniques and emergency procedures.
:12:23
Once you've gone down 1 ,000 feet. . .
:12:25
. . .if you surface, you'll have to commit
to several days of decompression.
:12:29
There is no real quick return.
:12:32
However, there is a mini-sub. . .
:12:34
. . .that may be used as an emergency
escape vehicle.
:12:36
But there must be a ship at the surface
to mate to for decompression.
:12:39
Without decompression,
your body would literally burst.
:12:43
Under these circumstances,
you're very well-controlled.
:12:46
The dive has been planned well
and professionally monitored.
