They said there was an emergency.

So here I am.

- Welcome to K-19, Doctor.

- Captain...

We will be back soon?

- I get...

- What?

...seasick.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Misha, please.

- Vostrikov marries a girl...

- Yuri, you promised.

Vostrikov marries a girl

with top Party connections.

He knows which fork to use for

salad, so they make him a captain.

That's why

you've never been promoted.

Be quiet!

We are all good communists here.

- To good communists!

- To good communists!

You're drunk. Sit down!

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

A little bit of respect.

Captain Vostrikov does not know you

the way I do.

You're still the captain

as far as we're concerned.

He's the captain.

I'm executive officer.

I'm pleased to be with my boys.

My turn.

They say another cosmonaut

orbited earth before Yuri Gagarin.

But he was not loyal enough

to hold his breath

when his life support system gave up.

So now he never existed.

Gagarin was lucky.

Let's hope we are too.

To luck!

Vadim!

- Vadim!

- Katya!

- Katya!

- Vadim!

Vadim!

- Don't worry!

- Don't go!

Please!

Defense Minister Zelentsov.

Admiral Bratyeev...

request permission to carry out

orders in defense of the motherland.

Carry out your patriotic duty.

- All hands down.

- All hands down!

- Single up all lines.

- Single up all lines!

Single up lines!

- Land the gangway.

- Land the gangway!

Gangway landed!

Gangway landed!

K-19 ready for sea, Captain.

- Port turbine, slow ahead.

- Port turbine, slow ahead.

I just hope you picked the right man.

- All compartments prepare to dive.

- Top hatches closed and latched!

- Open the mid-ship vent.

- Opened.

- Ready to dive, Captain.

- Dive the boat.

Speed six knots.

Depth 50 meters.

Speed 6 knots.

Planesman, depth 50 meters.

Making depth 50 meters.

- Slow ahead together.

- Slow ahead together.

- Course?

- Course is steady 3-2-3, Captain.

- Depth under the keel.

- Echo sound reads 350 meters.

- 20 meters.

- Telephone tested and correct.

Take readings every two minutes.

Don't worry. It'll stop

once the pressure increases.

Simulate an electrical fire

in the galley, please.

Fire in switchbox number 65.

This is a drill.

Repeat. This is a drill.

We're stuck!

Fire has spread

to the next compartment.

Simulate electrical failure,

compartment four.

Electrical failure,

compartment four. This is a drill.

Compartment four,

loss of electrical power. This is a drill!

Emergency lights!

Prepare the cable! Let's go!

The fire's out in the galley, Captain.

Too much damage.

Too many casualties.

Simulate flooding, compartment four.

Make them work in the dark.

If this were not a drill the boat would

be crippled and half the crew dead.
