Synopsis: In the dark silence of the sea during World War II, the submarine U.S.S. Tiger Shark prowls on what should be a routine rescue mission. But for the shell-shocked crew, trapped together in the sub's narrow corridors and constricted spaces, this is about to become a journey into the sensory delusions, mental deceptions and runaway fear that lurk just below the surface of the ocean and deep inside the human psyche.

So it was their last torpedo.

Yeah, but...|why not use a deck gun?

O'Dell, isn't this|your first patrol?

My second.

Yeah.

And your first was|a little shakedown run

off the coast of Florida

in one of those old school|boats, right?

I'm just wondering if the story|didn't seem a little off.

I wouldn't worry about it,|champ.

They got here somehow.

...You want coffee?|...Sure.

I take it black.

Tell Broadway|make sure it's hot.

Try to sleep.

I know you're in pain,|but you must try.

Please.

Be quiet.

Sonar contact.

220 turns per minute,|Mr. Brice.

Maybe the Z-class.

Maybe we didn't shake him|after all.

...Full stop!|...Full stop!

Boat stands at full stop.

Mr. Coors...

...flood negative.|...Flood negative.

O'Dell, get on the thermograph.|Find us some cold.

Conn, 5-degree gradient|at 2-7-0 feet.

Cold water deflects sound waves|just in case they decide to...

...Aah!

Splashes!

...Splashes!|...Splashes!

God damn it!|Keep it steady!

Scared you, didn't it, kid?

Damage reports.

Well, maybe that Z-class|just happened to be there.

And maybe the phonograph|wasn't secured.

But God damn.

And maybe someone doesn't|want us to make it home.

Miss Page claims she was in|the control room the whole time.

Yeah, that's right.

...So what about the other guy?|...Kingsley?

Hmph!|If that's his name.

Where was he|when it all happened?

I'm not sure.|Maybe he stepped out.

Stepped out... or slipped out?

You know, maybe we're spending|more time watching that broad

than watching our backs.

Who, me?|I've talked to her twice.

I heard you were|bird-dogging her, O'Dell.

Been running your mouth, ensign,|about boat matters?

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

As for the record player|going off,

well, yeah, that's strange.

But I don't think it calls for|a lynching party.

I think we should all|just take a deep breath.

...Conn, Brice.

Where'd you find it?

Make a hole!

Lieutenant, I was all set|to toss these pants,

then I noticed this, sir.

And these came from...

The half-dead guy, sir.

Must've been him|done that record player.

Wake him up.

I-I'm sorry.|I'm not quite sure...

Wake the German up.

Hello, "mein Kapitan".

Jesus.

It was me.|It was my idea.

I was the one who told him|not to speak.

She had him under our noses|the whole goddamn time.

Aah!

...Wait!|...I'll tell you.

I'll tell you everything.|His name is Ben Archerlift.

He's a downed aviator.|He's a patient of mine.

He's a prisoner of war,|and under the Geneva Convention,

he's entitled to|humane treatment!

He has a wife and family.

He wants to get home|just like you or me.

Everything will be all right.

You should've told me.

Maybe I was afraid you'd do|exactly what you've just done!
