:22:01
Captain, engine room reports
minor flooding from shaft seals
and brine pump.

:22:05
- Bilge is at 18inches
and rising.
- Very well.

:22:09
How deep does
this thing go?

:22:11
She'll go all the way
to the bottom
if we don't stop her.

:22:14
Normally we try not to get
below 150 feet.

:22:17
Any deeper, the leaks
overwhelm the pumps.

:22:19
These U-boats are antiques,
:22:22
older than most of the crew.
:22:26
One-zero-zero feet.
Aye.

:22:34
Excuse me, Mr. Emmett.
:22:38
Put a pipe patch on it,
lash it with marline.

:22:40
The yard can fix it
when we get back to port.
Aye, sir.

:22:44
Relax, gentlemen.
She's old, but she'll hold.

:22:52
Last night, at 0300 hours,
:22:54
a British destroyer reported
depth charging and sinking
a German U-boat.

:22:58
However,
some time thereafter,

:23:00
Allied direction finding
stations triangulated
a coded enemy radio signal...

:23:05
to this position here,
near the chop line.

:23:08
We believe the U-boat
was disabled, not sunk,

:23:11
and is drifting eastward
on a four-knot current.

:23:13
Now, French resistance reported
a resupply submarine...

:23:16
sailed from the Lorient U-boat
pens yesterday afternoon,

:23:20
with engine parts
and mechanics.

:23:22
We believe
it's gonna rendezvous
with the disabled U-boat.

:23:26
On board that U-boat is this.
:23:33
- A typewriter?
- An Enigma code machine.

:23:36
It allows the German navy
to communicate with
its submarines in secret,

:23:40
and our inability
to decipher their messages
is costing us this war.

:23:44
Mr. Coonan?
All right, this is basically
a Trojan Horse operation.

:23:49
The S-33 will rendezvous
with the U-boat, posing as
the German resupply sub.

:23:54
I will lead a boarding party
dressed in Kriegsmarine uniforms
to the enemy submarine.

:23:57
We will take it by force
and secure the Enigma.
