We've been going South for six days.

My guess... Is right here.

But that's South America.

Exactly where I wanted to go.

Schwartz, take the helm.

Did you think that as

commander of this ship

I would not have a master key?

Now, there is a German supply ship...

...operating in this area...

...and we should rendezvous

within the hour.

And you, commander...

Will be transferred to her...

...and shot as a pirate.

I apologize for disturbing

you, miss Clayton.

Might I collect some of my papers?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

Well, are you making yourself comfortable?

Yes, thank you, captain.

Good.

Did you know that Mr. Tyler was planning...

...to take us to new england?

I find his yankee ingeniousness...

...almost frightening.

You know, I'm a biologist, captain.

I study the structure of living things,

their motivations, and their behavior,

but I don't understand you.

How can anyone who is so

interested in life...

...follow a profession which is devoted...

...to destruction and killing?

The study of nature, miss Clayton,

has taught me that life is founded...

...upon killing and destruction.

The sea swarms with living things...

...that prey on one another to survive.

But human beings needn't.

The ship you torpedoed

contained nothing...

...but innocent passengers--

women and children.

And a hold full of arms and ammunition...

...that would be used to

kill women and children...

...in my country.

Oh, yes.

How else would it have

exploded so quickly?

Anyway...

We will talk again, miss Clayton.

Good-bye.

Up periscope. Up periscope.

Good. There's our supply ship.

Down periscope. Down periscope.

Prepare to surface.

Both engines full ahead.

Both engines full ahead.

Shh. It's me.

Our bow is pointing

directly at the German ship.

Let's give them a surprise.

Tubes flooded. Ready to fire, Mr. Tyler.

Nice shooting, Mr. Tyler.

She had fuel, supplies, fresh water.

We have enough supplies for one week.

What do you propose

to do now, commander?

Bradley, put captain Von schoenvorts...

...back in the cooler.

Take him with you.

Get on the helm, Dietz.

We conserve our fuel,

we go on half rations.

And we'll see where the

current will take us.

Precisely.

Against my better judgment,

your instincts have

proved to be right so far.

I can handle my crew.

You understand submarines.

I consider that to be

our good fortune, commander.

Mr. Bradley.

Icebergs.

No.

There are no icebergs

north of 14 in these waters.

That much I know.

Then we must be South of 14, Dietz.

Impossible.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sinclair.

Open the door. Right, sir.

Captain. Mr. Tyler.

Come on.

Sit down.

Would you like a drink?

Captain Von schoenvorts, I, uh...
