INT. SUBMARINE NOVEMBER ENGINE ROOM - “Out of the Blue”
ZERO and SHIVA scramble to the back of the submarine. Crew members run past them in the opposite direction. They arrive in the engine room. It is full of steam and is taking on water.
ZERO
What do we do?
SHIVA
We do nothing. They will fix it.
ZERO
We have to help them if we can.
SHIVA
Stop! You don’t even know what you’re doing. You will just get radiation poisoning.
SHIVA (in Russian)
Get back in there! Save this submarine for Mother Russia!
The crew gets to work patching up the engine room. After a fury of activity they stop and cheer. The alarm goes silent.
ZERO
They did it! What a relief.
SHIVA pulls on the large door to the engine room and closes it tight. She spins the heavy locking mechanism sealing the crew inside.
ZERO
What are you doing? Let them out!
SHIVA
They are contaminated. If they come out they will spread radiation.
ZERO
They just saved your life! They are heroes. At least we can seal off half of the sub for them.
SHIVA
You might have the upper hand with your gun, but I know submarines. I spent the last few years preparing for this heist. Do you know how hard it is to steal a nuclear sub? But you came and ruined it. I’m tired of being cooped up in this sardine can. I’m tired of the red lights and alarm sirens!
SHIVA rips at the cables connected to the red alarm light. Sparks shoot out of it, then complete darkness. SHIVA fights ZERO in the pitch blackness and disarms him.
SHIVA
Move! Feel your way back to the com room.
INT. SUB COM ROOM
ZERO and SHIVA make it back to the com room. She leads him to the console with his own machine gun.
SHIVA
Slowly empty your pockets.
ZERO takes out his pistol and his camera and puts them on the console.
SHIVA
Now step away. I know this vessel inside and out. You really didn’t expect me to have a plan to get out of here?
ZERO
You caused that melt down?
SHIVA
It was the perfect distraction. Now if you would be so kind to go above deck. I planned a little rendezvous with another sub. I’ll finally be getting out of here.
ZERO goes up the ladder with SHIVA close behind.
EXT. NOVEMBER SUB ATLANTIC OCEAN
The hatch on the submarine flips open and ZERO peeks out. Another Russian submarine is floating across from them. On the deck an officer scowls at him with a dozen soldiers behind him.
