:48:05
At every stage ofthis disaster,
which came within moments...
:48:08
of being
a far greater disaster...
:48:10
the officers and crew
did what had to be done.
:48:14
Seven are now dead...
:48:16
and nobody knows
how many more are dying...
:48:18
or how fast.
:48:21
These are the men who returned home
to be interrogated...
:48:23
as if a crime
had been committed...
:48:26
questioned even when undergoing
treatment for radiation poisoning...
:48:30
Iocked up and denied access
to wives and families.
:48:35
But they and their comrades
saved K- 19.
:48:39
And maybe... just maybe,
they saved all ofyou as well.
:48:43
Thank you, Captain Polenin.
:48:45
- One thing more, please.
- Thankyou.
:48:48
No captain in the Soviet Navy has ever
been faced with such decisions--
:48:53
the fate of the boat, the crew...
:48:56
the fate of the world...
:48:59
all in the balance.
:49:03
The navy is my life.
:49:07
And one thing I know, there can be
only one captain of a ship.
:49:12
The burden of command
is on his shoulders...
:49:15
and his alone.
:49:23
None ofyou--
:49:25
None ofyou has the right
to judge Captain Vostrikov.
:49:30
You weren't there.
I was.
:49:34
He was our captain.
:49:38
He was my captain.
:49:48
And it would be an honor...
:49:51
to sail
under his command again.
