*No one lives forever*

*Weapon... I have it all*
**[02:02] ---**
The sea's so calm today.
**[02:05] ---**
The waters around here
can be really technicolor.
**[02:09] ---**
Dive in and you're
treated to a masterpiece.
**[02:11] ---**
I'm sure it is. I did a little scuba
diving long ago at Ishigaki Island.
**[02:15] ---**
It sounds privileged. Like the
fruitful life of a bachelor yuppie.
**[02:20] ---**
It wasn't that great.
**[02:22] ---**
Drinking beer while feeling this sea
breeze on my skin is far more privileged.
**[02:38] ---**
"Naval base at Kiel, 1945"
**[02:46] ---**
So it's "Farewell Germany."
**[02:49] ---**
It's a shame that the last glimpse I get of
the German sky is of its usual leaden color.
**[02:54] ---**
Thanks to that, the Allies'
patrol over us has thinned.
**[02:58] ---**
Once we get past the Shetlands
and out of the North Sea,
**[03:01] ---**
we'll soon be under Spain's blue sky,
and then on to Africa's beaches.
**[03:06] ---**
You'll soon be longing for some clouds,
Lieutenant Colonel Matsuto.
**[03:10] ---**
Right. As a man here to study aeronautics,
**[03:13] ---**
I can't afford to be killed by a plane.
**[03:16] ---**
Not after coming all the
way here to Germany.
**[03:21] ---**
It seems like we'll understand
each other on this long trip.
**[03:25] ---**
I'd like to feel the same about
that other passenger as well.
**[03:30] ---**
I just don't understand them.
Those men, the SS and SD's.
**[03:43] ---**
Darn. I really did have a privileged life.
**[03:51] ---**
A little problem with the car and life
takes a sudden nosedive here.
**[03:57] ---**
Mr. Lun, is that new? How much?
**[04:01] ---**
That's too much. I'll bet it's stolen.
**[04:07] ---**
Oh, well. It's not like anyone has
anything to spare in their wallets.
**[04:14] ---**
I'd better pass. I can just hear
Revy labeling me a softie again.
**[04:29] ---**
"Near the Cape Verde Islands, Africa 1945"
**[04:40] ---**
Check.
**[04:47] ---**
Gentlemen, we can look forward
to sea turtle soup tonight!
**[04:58] ---**
"The Indian Ocean"
**[05:00] ---**
They're moving with us at bearing 270.
**[05:03] ---**
It's a freighter out of South
Africa heading to Ceylon.
**[05:07] ---**
Captain.
**[05:08] ---**
We're in battle positions. Please get inside.
**[05:12] ---**
I apologize, but I want you
to answer me one thing.
**[05:16] ---**
Are you going to ignore your
orders and attack that freighter?
**[05:21] ---**
What shall we do?
**[05:22] ---**
I will get you to Batavia without fail,
Lieutenant Colonel.
**[05:25] ---**
Fritz.
**[05:26] ---**
Yes sir.
**[05:27] ---**
Are you incapable of even greeting
the enemy without confirmation?
**[05:31] ---**
And yet you consider yourself this ship's--
**[05:33] ---**
Very well, Sir. I'll have them hurry with the
loading of the torpedo under maintenance.
**[05:38] ---**
You too, Lieutenant Colonel, get inside.
**[05:41] ---**
An attack would be a
completely unnecessary risk.
**[05:44] ---**
That is a transport of your
lifelong enemy, England.
**[05:47] ---**
What's being carried is
fuel for an invasion
**[05:51] ---**
of the ally we'll soon be guests of.
**[05:54] ---**
You're telling me to ignore that enemy?
**[05:56] ---**
Are you saying there was no point
in our fighting this war so far?
**[06:01] ---**
At this stage, sinking that ship will
have no effect on our fatherland.
**[06:09] ---**
Oh?
**[06:11] ---**
What?
**[06:13] ---**
Are you saying that we
cannot stop the inevitable?
**[06:19] ---**
Are you trying to force me to say more?
**[06:23] ---**
No. I just didn't expect
to hear what you said.
**[06:26] ---**
I thought you were worrying about
something more meaningless.
**[06:31] ---**
I apologize. Despite that, there are
still battles that you must take on.
**[06:36] ---**
Let's go. Prepare the torpedoes
for surface attack!
**[06:39] ---**
We'll credit this ship with its 31st hit.
**[06:47] ---**
Launcher is ready.
**[06:49] ---**
All right, let's go! We will keep fighting!
**[06:57] ---**
Aren't you going to go drinking?
**[06:58] ---**
I'll go. As soon as I'm finished calculating
the fuel efficiency of the torpedo ship.
**[07:02] ---**
Good job.
**[07:06] ---**
What's that?
**[07:07] ---**
I dunno. Do I look like
an off-season Santa?
**[07:11] ---**
During the day, you were looking
into a shop, weren't you, Rock?
**[07:14] ---**
Huh? N-No, that was...
**[07:16] ---**
Why don't you just tell me
when you want something?
**[07:18] ---**
W-Wait. Then you mean that's for me?
**[07:32] ---**
The enemy ship just passed over us.
**[07:38] ---**
"Near the Nicobar Islands, Indonesia"
**[07:43] ---**
"March 25, 1945"
**[07:49] ---**
Set course to two-zero-zero.
We'll get behind the enemy.
**[07:54] ---**
If we turn twice, we can get behind them.
**[07:56] ---**
The second turn will be in four minutes.
**[07:59] ---**
Good. We'll go with that.
**[08:03] ---**
We're detecting sound from another vessel
in front of us. Wait! Yet another signal!
**[08:07] ---**
The enemy's coming out in numbers.
**[08:10] ---**
We are about to be subjugated,
with Batavia right in front of us.
**[08:15] ---**
Not yet, gentlemen.
Both engines full power.
**[08:19] ---**
Set course to one-seven-zero.
**[08:20] ---**
One-seven-zero.
**[08:21] ---**
Fire the Zigarren astern.
**[08:23] ---**
Firing Zigarren.
**[08:32] ---**
One of the enemy ships is moving away.
**[08:35] ---**
They took the bait. Stop
the ship. Silent running.
**[08:49] ---**
One ship is staying right with us,
and won't break away.
**[08:54] ---**
It's active sonar!
**[08:55] ---**
Full power to the engines!
**[08:56] ---**
Port 20 degrees! To depth of 40!
**[09:15] ---**
This is the forward torpedo room!
We're taking on water! We've lost control!
**[09:19] ---**
Close the fore hatch!
Captain! Please take care!
**[09:29] ---**
We've stopped taking on water,
but we can't blow the main tank.
**[09:34] ---**
Engines and the electric generator
are damaged beyond repair.
**[09:41] ---**
It is unfortunate that we couldn't
return the Japanese to his homeland.
**[09:46] ---**
Lieutenant Colonel Matsuto has already...
**[09:49] ---**
The way of a samurai.
**[09:52] ---**
I didn't realize he had brought a
sword on board for that reason.
**[09:59] ---**
Brave and loyal soldiers of the German navy.
**[10:02] ---**
We faced great opposition and
rough waters in the Atlantic,
**[10:07] ---**
but we will finish our final battle
without seeing the coconuts of Batavia.
**[10:13] ---**
Our ship is currently run aground
at a depth of 57 meters.
**[10:18] ---**
Both our engines and
ballast are beyond repair.
**[10:21] ---**
You have endured numerous
battles with courage.
**[10:25] ---**
At this moment, I relieve
you all of military duties.
**[10:29] ---**
We will run out of air in about two hours.
**[10:31] ---**
You may each choose how you wish to die.
**[10:37] ---**
Lieutenant Colonel, I have to talk to you.
**[10:40] ---**
Captain, I haven't heard the
engine running for some time now.
**[10:44] ---**
When will we surface?
**[10:46] ---**
As it turns out, we won't
be surfacing. Ever again.
**[10:52] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[10:54] ---**
You're worthless.
**[10:56] ---**
I agree.
**[10:57] ---**
You don't get it. You just
don't get it, do you?!
**[11:00] ---**
Get what?
**[11:01] ---**
The importance of your mission!
**[11:03] ---**
Do you have any idea what significance
this painting I'm transporting has?!
**[11:08] ---**
Oh, so the package was this painting.
**[11:11] ---**
It doesn't look like anything
of great significance to me.
**[11:15] ---**
What is its title?
**[11:17] ---**
*The Twelve Knights Led by Brunhilda.*
**[11:20] ---**
Listen! This is the only tableau
painted since the Führer took power.
**[11:26] ---**
"Steadfast in our honor and loyalty,
hide this until the promised day.
**[11:32] ---**
On the day the Nazi flag flies again,
**[11:36] ---**
this will be the guiding light for
our comrades who have scattered!"
**[11:41] ---**
So, you already know we
are going to lose this war.
**[11:46] ---**
And you wanted to
prepare for the next war.
**[11:50] ---**
You people make me sick!
**[11:54] ---**
Do you have family?
**[11:56] ---**
A wife and child in Stuttgart. So what?!
**[12:01] ---**
I am proud that I fought
with all I had for my country.
**[12:07] ---**
I have no regrets, even now as I
am destined to rot in the ocean.
**[12:10] ---**
However, if there is one dissatisfaction,
**[12:14] ---**
it is the fact that I have to share
a casket with a bastard like you
**[12:19] ---**
who won't bother to remember his family,
even in his last moments.
**[12:22] ---**
Take back that remark, Captain.
**[12:25] ---**
You cannot compare family to the
righteousness of our country!
**[12:29] ---**
It's worthless. No matter how you struggle,
**[12:32] ---**
the empire of the corporal,
whose paintings won't sell, is over.
**[12:36] ---**
Shut up.
**[12:37] ---**
By tolerating your delusions, look what's
become of my country and my navy.
**[12:42] ---**
Shut up!
**[12:43] ---**
I'd say it was worth sinking if,
because of it, my children will never
**[12:48] ---**
have to see that accursed Nazi flag again.
**[12:50] ---**
Shut up! Take it back!
**[12:53] ---**
It could very well be God's
will for our ship to sink here.
**[13:05] ---**
Damn it.
**[13:07] ---**
I shouldn't have opened my mouth about it.
**[13:11] ---**
I only went scuba diving
once at Ishigaki Island.
**[13:15] ---**
Dutch tricked me into this!
**[13:18] ---**
That's all you've said since we left port!
**[13:21] ---**
Be a little more interesting, you idiot!
**[13:26] ---**
There's no way I'm capable
of doing this salvaging!
**[13:36] ---**
Now, I explained it briefly at the office,
**[13:39] ---**
but I'll go through the details again
before we go in. Benny, will you start?
**[13:44] ---**
Okay. First, take a look at this.
**[13:48] ---**
An old story from half a century ago.
**[13:51] ---**
Some nostalgic talk by
some elderly gentleman.
**[13:54] ---**
IXC-type attack submarine
U-1324 of the German navy.
**[13:57] ---**
A submarine in the Wolf Pack
that tore up the Atlantic.
**[14:01] ---**
The captain was Major Venztel H. Ahbe.
**[14:05] ---**
The last order he received
from his falling homeland
**[14:09] ---**
was to take an officer of the
Japanese navy to Batavia.
**[14:13] ---**
But things weren't that simple.
**[14:16] ---**
To get there, they had to go from Kiel
in Europe, around Cape Agulhas
**[14:19] ---**
and then past the Indian Ocean.
It's a voyage worthy of Magellan.
**[14:23] ---**
But Ahbe pulled it off.
**[14:25] ---**
But when he could finally
see his destination,
**[14:28] ---**
his ship and passenger
suddenly ran out of luck.
**[14:33] ---**
While searching for the Japanese,
the U.S. navy came across this U-boat.
**[14:37] ---**
Having nothing else to do,
they all decided to strike at once.
**[14:42] ---**
The poor U-1324 finally ran out of strength.
**[14:44] ---**
The captain and 44 of his crew
disappeared into the darkness of the sea.
**[14:51] ---**
Up to this point, that's historical fact,
but there is another untold story.
**[14:57] ---**
A story about an SS officer who appeared
from Kiel Port the night before departure,
**[15:02] ---**
forcing his way on board with
papers from the secret police.
**[15:09] ---**
Take a look at this.
**[15:11] ---**
This is the painting he
held on to for dear life.
**[15:16] ---**
The artist is August Janke,
an unknown painter.
**[15:19] ---**
The title is *The Twelve
Knights Led by Brunhilda*.
**[15:24] ---**
What a boring painting.
**[15:26] ---**
Even graffiti on the New York Metro
is more appealing than that.
**[15:30] ---**
Why did an SS officer board
a submarine with no gold,
**[15:33] ---**
no secret documents,
but just a single painting?
**[15:39] ---**
Don't give it too much thought.
It's just an incredible story.
**[15:44] ---**
I have no explanation
for the reason behind it.
**[15:46] ---**
The one thing that we know is that this
painting is sleeping in a sunken submarine.
**[15:53] ---**
We've been hired by an
antique collector in Spain.
**[15:56] ---**
His hobby is collecting the artwork
of artists from the Nazi era.
**[15:59] ---**
The guy's got a weird hobby.
**[16:01] ---**
Damn right. Most of Janke's
work was burnt in war disasters.
**[16:06] ---**
He had completely given up on it
and the U-boat long ago. But...
**[16:11] ---**
Yeah, last year a French phone
company laying down
**[16:16] ---**
underwater cables discovered U-1324.
**[16:19] ---**
And they found that there
wasn't much water inside.
**[16:22] ---**
Several countries are fighting over the
control of water territories in this area.
**[16:27] ---**
No one can make a go for it easily.
**[16:29] ---**
And that's where we come in.
**[16:32] ---**
A nice 50,000 dollar job, plus expenses.
**[16:35] ---**
So, here are the steps for the job.
Take a look at this.
**[16:40] ---**
The French found that the bow
end is completely flooded.
**[16:45] ---**
The two of you will go in through the
torpedo tubes and then shut them.
**[16:49] ---**
Once you weld the hole shut, you should
be able to open the door in the interior.
**[16:52] ---**
W-Weld?
**[16:53] ---**
What do we do to get out?
**[16:55] ---**
Just make a hole in the
submarine's body and swim out.
**[16:59] ---**
Once we get what we want outta there,
who cares what happens to it?
**[17:02] ---**
All right then, let's get this over with.
**[17:05] ---**
I've never even done weekend carpentry.
**[17:10] ---**
And we're doing this all underwater.
I can't imagine how it'll work.
**[17:14] ---**
Hey, are you done checking the equipment?
**[17:17] ---**
If you keep talking nonsense,
I'll throw you into the sea without a tank.
**[17:22] ---**
I'm mostly done.
**[17:24] ---**
What about the buoyancy compensator?
**[17:25] ---**
Did you test the gauge?
**[17:27] ---**
If you end up drowning,
**[17:28] ---**
I'm gonna leave you down there
in that casket with those Nazi guys.
**[17:31] ---**
Don't be so difficult. I'll be fine.
**[17:35] ---**
If you die, you'd be causing me trouble!
So stop talking back, you idiot!
**[17:40] ---**
Revy. Once you dive, I'll only be
able to track you with the beacon.
**[17:43] ---**
Be careful not to use up the batteries.
**[17:46] ---**
Got it.
**[17:47] ---**
And this. A souvenir from Balalaika
when she returned from her country.
**[17:52] ---**
An underwater rifle? Does it have full-auto?
**[17:55] ---**
Of course. Take it as a protective charm.
**[17:58] ---**
Okay. Let's go. Follow me, Rock.
**[18:08] ---**
So you won her over with
a gun and saved Rock.
**[18:12] ---**
You've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve.
**[18:14] ---**
You could say that. As an employer,
I've gotta deal with human relations.
**[18:25] ---**
The beacon's been activated.
The PLRS is working fine.
**[18:30] ---**
All right.
**[18:31] ---**
They're headed straight for the metal body.
**[18:33] ---**
Revy sure seems used to this kind of thing.
**[18:36] ---**
Of course she is.
**[18:37] ---**
I wouldn't have hired her
solely on her skill with guns.
**[18:42] ---**
She's got natural talent
when it comes to swimming.
**[19:01] ---**
Dutch?
**[19:02] ---**
What's up?
**[19:03] ---**
Come up here for a second. There's a ship.
**[19:05] ---**
What?
**[19:07] ---**
We're not on a regular sea route.
**[19:09] ---**
The cable company's about the only
one I can imagine coming here.
**[19:11] ---**
Cable company? It can't be.
**[19:15] ---**
I've been listening to their communications
ever since we got the offer.
**[19:18] ---**
They shouldn't be out here
for another three days.
**[19:21] ---**
Besides, that's a research ship.
**[19:23] ---**
Look. It's got some large
equipment on the back.
**[19:26] ---**
This isn't amusing. Put up a Thai navy flag.
**[19:31] ---**
Roger.
**[19:33] ---**
To the stopped ship. This is the
White Heather. Please respond.
**[19:40] ---**
They wanna communicate.
**[19:43] ---**
This is PT377 of the Thai navy.
**[19:46] ---**
We are currently on a mission.
**[19:49] ---**
We'd like to inquire about
your purpose in this area.
**[19:52] ---**
Tell us your nationality,
ship number, and signal code.
**[19:55] ---**
We see that you are acting independently.
**[19:59] ---**
Where is your mother ship?
**[20:01] ---**
That is a military matter
and I cannot answer.
**[20:04] ---**
I request your information
one more time, over.
**[20:10] ---**
They sure are demanding.
They're not normal.
**[20:15] ---**
I'm going back to the control room.
**[20:17] ---**
Keep track of them and tell me
everything you see.
**[20:21] ---**
We've got some unusual cloud activity.
Fold up your umbrella.
**[20:23] ---**
All right. What'll we do about those two?
**[20:26] ---**
As long as their beacon is on,
we can pick them up any time.
**[20:28] ---**
Worst case scenario, we blast these
guys and then pick the two up.
**[20:33] ---**
Hail Uberführer!
**[20:35] ---**
Upon checking communications through
radio interception, just as we suspected,
**[20:38] ---**
there are no
navy vessels of any nation in this area.
**[20:40] ---**
Therefore, we conclude that
they are hated bandits
**[20:44] ---**
who are plundering this sacred gravesite.
**[20:46] ---**
Your decision please, Commander.
**[20:48] ---**
They are such fools.
**[20:50] ---**
The proof of inheritance of this
gravesite is rightfully ours.
**[20:55] ---**
Very well, Squad Commander. I will
allow destruction with an iron fist.
**[21:02] ---**
What's going on?
**[21:03] ---**
Dutch. There's movement.
**[21:05] ---**
Okay. I just started the engines.
**[21:10] ---**
What in the world are they doing?
