00:00At 120 meters, there is considerable debris here at the lab site.

00:06Now, our divers have been as deep as equipment permitted,

00:11and the Navy submarine has worked the slope of the seamount to 500 meters.

00:20Our problem is strictly one of time.

00:23If the pressure hull is still intact,

00:26there's life support remaining, oh, I'd say for just under 48 hours.

00:32Doctor, I'm sure this has occurred to all of you,

00:35but if someone were still alive in the ocean lab,

00:38wouldn't he have activated a pinger?

00:40May I answer that, Dr. Andrews?

00:42Please do, Lea.

00:46Commander, because of its size,

00:48the Navy sub couldn't possibly have cruised low enough

00:50to see if the lab had fallen into a fissure or a deep growth.

00:54As for a pinger, we all know that sound underwater is scattered by obstacles,

00:59by fish, by rocks, by plankton.

01:02And in spite of what you see here, the top of the seamount is really very rugged.

01:05I'm aware of all that, Doctor.

01:08Commander, your submersible can cruise into areas that sub could never go.

01:15If your ocean lab did go into the trench,

01:18no ordinary pinger would be operative at that pressure.

01:22I have no proof either way.

01:24As long as that clock says there's still hope.

01:27You've got to try.

01:33We have 47 hours, 51 minutes, 26 seconds.

01:38No argument, Doctor.

01:41We'll try, all right?

01:44But just for the record,

01:46the purpose of this dive is to find and photograph

01:49proof of the loss of the environmental structure

01:53for the insurance underwriter.

01:55Good God, man.

01:57There are three men down there who may still be alive.

02:00Now, let's get our priorities in order.

02:02Oh, come on.

02:03The Neptune has not had a sea trial since its overhaul.

02:06There's also a danger of aftershocks, landslides.

02:10Now, I don't know your three friends,

02:13but I will know the men who are diving with me in the Neptune,

02:15and they are my responsibility.

02:18And whenever there's a choice,

02:22their safety comes first.

02:26Now, Captain, I would like to meet my crew.

02:30Excuse me.
