Summary

Desperate measures are required to contact the surface, and Sam has a plan that just might work. But his technical skills will need to be backed up by Charlie’s operational understanding and Marion’s intelligence, and there is the small matter of the predatory creatures standing in their way.

0:40.3	The Okay, almost there.
1:06.6	Is that really going to work?
1:08.2	Should do.
1:09.4	It's fairly simple. We're too deep for our signals to reach the surface, so this boy will act as a kind of way station. Like a cell phone tower. Yeah, exactly. We just need it to get halfway between us and the surface. Then we can send transmissions to it, and it'll boost them and reflect them back to the top. Right. Unless of course we're in some kind of void dimension.
1:28.3	What? What's halfway between the surface and infinity? Can we please just assume that some laws of physics still apply? Okay, okay. I was only joking. Sort of. Do you really think now is the time to be making jokes? Look, if you're worried about Charlie, don't be. He can take care of himself. Also, what's the betting that when
1:44.3	he said hundreds of crab things, what he really meant was two or three? Do you actually think that, or are you just joking again? I'm just, I'm trying not to panic. Look, one thing at a time, okay? I need this signal boy to work. There's not much else we can do here except pray for a miracle. I've checked Laura's so-called countermeasures, and as far as I can tell, they're mostly bullshit. Unless you want to force the sub into an emergency manual mode. What? That sounds perfect. Why aren't we doing that? Oh, well, yeah, sure. Let's just do that. We just need Virgil to sustain catastrophic, localized damage. How should we go about it? Stare directly into Iraq? All right.
2:19.2	All right. Fine. But if this
2:21.2	signal boy works, we're saved.
2:23.6	Advantage will come and rescue us
2:25.3	and we'll all get to live happily ever
2:27.2	after. If it doesn't work,
2:29.6	well...
2:30.9	Draker!

2:33.2	Oh my God, he made it.
2:35.8	Hang on.
2:36.8	What?
