The Final Countdown


:35:54
What the hell do you mean
it just disappeared?

:35:56
That's it, Captain.

:35:57
One second it was on the scope,
the next it was gone.

:36:00
Search party?

:36:04
It's too late. Officer of the deck,
turn the Nimitz into the wind.

:36:07
Aye, aye, Captain.

:36:10
- Launch aircraft.
- Yes, sir, Captain.

:36:12
That's it. Let's go. Cats, you got
green lights. Get 'em in the air!

:38:31
Victory 210,

:38:39
Zulu-5-Bravo,
this is Victory 210.

:38:43
Nine minutes

:38:47
Sir, I think
you oughta see this.

:38:50
It suddenly appeared
behind us.

:38:55
I don't believe this.
It's starting again.
