Previously on "Project Blue Book"...
I've been thinking about what happened up there,
that plane over D.C.
UFOs. The symbol...
I keep seeing this.
Still are unanswered questions.
You work for the Russians?
You've been lying to all of us this whole time.
You've been spying on me, my family.
Senator Kennedy is here to see you.
Project Blue Book.
- Senator. - Senator.
What can we do for you?
Whatever you're working on, I need you to put it down.
We have a situation developing in the North Atlantic.

_
Ever heard of the Doomsday Clock?
No. What's that?
Scientists use it to calculate
how close we are to destroying ourselves.
Oh, yeah?
They just pushed it up this week.
What's it at now?
Two minutes to midnight.
Midnight as in...
They don't call it the Doomsday Clock for nothing.
Midnight? Ha!
By my clock, it's already well past.
That's weird.
My watch stopped.
We losing power?
Do you see that?
Is that the ghost ship?
That was definitely it.
No, I saw something else.
There it is.
Sir, you seeing this?
Oh, my God. What is that?
Russian?
Forward batteries open fire.
Forward batteries, engage.
Engage.
Oh, shit.
It's gonna hit us!
Retreat!
The admiral on the ship
classified it as Russian aircraft,
but when I read the official report, I...
I had my doubts.
- Then it's not one of ours. - No.
Now the Navy's acting as if it never happened.
Operation Mainbrace is gonna be
the largest joint military exercise
since World War I.
Nine countries, 200 ships,
80,000 men.
All the more reason that I should be fully informed,
but I'm not.
So what do you need from us, Senator?
I want you to investigate this sighting
as a UFO occurrence.
I've already arranged
to have you both flown out to the ship,
assuming, of course, that you're up for this.
Well, we'd need to inform the generals first.
Don't worry about them. I can take care of that.
You just need to report back to me
and only me
about anything anomalous you find out there.
Is there something else going on
that we should know about?
I don't trust my Intel right now.
Not since Fairchild's death.
But he trusted you.
He also thought when push came to shove,
the military would do whatever it could
to cover up the existence of UFOs,
but anything unidentified
in a war exercise this close to Russian soil
is very dangerous.
So,
I'll ask you once more.
Are you up for this?
Are you sure it's safe where you're going?
The entire NATO fleet's out there right now.
It might be the safest place on the planet.
What's that?
My final statement to the generals about Susie.
You want me to drop it off when I get back?
They actually wanna talk to me about it as well,
I guess to, you know, wrap it all up.
Well, hopefully then we can put all this behind us.
I already have.
It's open.
You finally cleaned up.
Yeah, but I moved a few things around,
and now I can never find my keys.
Still in the door.
You're a lifesaver.
Dog tags? Those yours?
Never used to wear 'em when I traveled during the war.
Figured it was bad luck,
so I always just hooked 'em there.
Anyway, come on. We're running late as it is.
That is absolutely...
Terrifying.
Sir, Dr. Hynek.
The admiral's waiting for you on the bridge.
This way, please.
Keelhaul recovery on the fantail is now complete.
Admiral, sir.
The men from Project Blue Book.
At ease.
Captain Quinn, is it?
That means you must be the brains of the operation,
- Dr. Hynek, yes? - Uh, yes, sir.
A special unit to investigate flying saucers.
Whose clever idea was that?
The Air Force's, sir.
That explains a lot now, doesn't it?
Thank you for allowing us to board, sir.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, Captain,
but my men didn't see any spaceships last night.
I tried to make that clear to the senator,
but he insisted you still come out.
So I did you the courtesy
of compiling some witness statements.
That way, no one's wasting time out here.
The Russians sure aren't.
With all due respect, Admiral,
Senator Kennedy sent us out
to conduct our own investigation.
My word not good enough for you, Professor?
Well, not unless you were an actual eyewitness, Admiral,
and we are under congressional orders.
Isn't that funny? So am I.
Master Chief Harris, let's find our guests a room
so they can interview our witnesses.
That way, you can do your job and I can do mine.
Yes, sir.
Anything else I can do for you gentlemen?
- No, sir. - No, thank you, this is...
He's convinced it was the Russians.
I stole a look at his charts.
The course he's mapped out?
The admiral's bringing his fleet
right to the edge of Soviet waters.
200 warships, 80,000 men.
It'll look like we're invading.
I thought this was just a training exercise.
Yeah, out here, he can pretty much act
under his own authority,
especially if he feels threatened.
So unless we can prove this sighting was a real UFO...
In a few hours.
We may be going to war.
Thank you for your honesty, Mrs. Hynek.
We know this has been quite a process.
What are you still looking for at this point?
I've told you everything I can remember
at least five times.
And I'm sorry we have to keep putting you through it.
I wish I could tell you more.
I just don't know what else to do.
Yeah, we might still have something actually.
You know, when Susie first came,
she told us that she had valuable intelligence for us,
but she insisted she would only share it
on one condition.
She'd only tell it to you.
What?
We're actually hesitant bringing it to your attention,
but we have a situation developing
in the North Atlantic right now.
That's where Allen is.
We realize that we're putting you
in an uncomfortable position,
but we're running out of options.
And time.
So what we're asking is
would you be willing to talk to her,
under our supervision, one on one?
How long will I have?
As much as you need.
Unless she does something that we don't like.
Your safety is a priority here.
I'd be more worried about her.
Sir, I don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't see anything that night.
Well...
according to this report, you were on deck
during the sighting of the craft.
Sir, may I go now?
Well, if you do remember anything,
we'll be right here.
And we'll listen.
You can send the next one in.
Lying?
Usually people lie about what they see,
not what they don't.
There's something else going on here.
Sir? Permission to enter, sir?
Permission granted.
- Sir. - Sir.
I really have no idea...
What you're talking about.
- Sure, I was there... - But I didn't see anything.
Then why give a statement in the first place?
Sir, I'd take it back if I could.
Because I don't wanna end up like them.
End up like who? What are you talking about?
Gerald?
No one.
Sir, are we done?
No. No, we're not.
Look, I understand.
Yeah, you don't wanna get yourself
or anyone else in trouble.
So don't talk.
Just point to someone who's willing to
and we'll take it from there.
You're off the hook.
Sir, they're not on there.
- Can you double check? - I did.
Sir, I have a post I need to stand,
and you've heard my statement.
Permission to be excused, sir.
Permission granted.
He's terrified. They all are.
You know, it's almost as if
the high-ranking commanding officer who steers this ship
told them all what to say.
And why give us only a partial list of witness names
if he's scared them all into keeping quiet?
'Cause maybe the ones who aren't on the list
insisted on telling the truth the first time.
Disobeying an order from the admiral
would land you in the brig, yes?
Not if you're a higher ranking officer.
Come on.
Sir.
We're here to interview those men.
I can't let you in there, sir.
I have orders.
Well, the admiral ordered us
to interview all witnesses on this ship.
Are you saying you'll disobey that order?
- No, sir. - Then step aside.
Commander. Lieutenant.
I'm Captain Michael Quinn. This is Dr. Allen Hynek.
- U.S. Air Force. - Project Blue Book.
We investigate UFOs, unidentified flying objects,
and we've come all the way from Ohio
just to hear your story.
You were there in D.C., right?
- Those lights over the Capital? - That's right.
And we heard you have an even better story.
In fact, it made it all the way back
- to Senator Kennedy. - What did he hear?
Sir.
We'll say whatever you want.
Just let us know what you need to hear.
Well, that's easy. Just the truth.
Now, the reason you're here under guard
is that you tried telling the admiral
what you really saw.
He told you to lie, right?
Nobody'll talk about it now,
but strange stuff has been going on
since we got out here.
Equipment malfunctioning,
pilots seeing strange lights in the skies...
And the ghost ship.
Ghost ship?
There's this boat that's shown up out of nowhere
a couple times.
Fishing trawler.
It'd be there one second and gone the next.
This is a different thing to the craft in the sky, yes?
Yes, sir. That would come after.
And you told the admiral what you just told us?
Sir, he insisted it was Russia.
Told us to keep our mouths shut or we'd never get out of here.
But we had a little insurance policy
on the deck with us that night.
It's gotta still be up there
where we hid it.
Clear.
A camera?
There's gotta be a lab on board.
Let's go.
Just a few more seconds, Captain.
Go in there and speak freely.
We'll be right here behind you.
We need to alert Senator Kennedy.
Someone needs to shut down this entire operation.
We got a bigger problem than that, Doc.
Whatever that thing is, it's still out there.
One of my men took this?
Sir, this print shows a craft
with no wings, no obvious source of thrust,
emerging from the ocean.
What these men saw was real. This is proof.
You're right.
The Russians clearly have a tactical advantage here,
and unless I move swiftly,
there's no telling what they might do next.
What? No.
No, the Russians don't have this kind of capability.
- Nobody does. - Sir, Admiral, sir.
We have a situation. Unidentified craft approaching.
- What is it? What's its position? - I don't know, sir.
It just appeared out of nowhere. Half a mile ahead.
All stop.
- All stop. - All stop by.
We've got a vessel in distress out there.
Let's prepare to board her.
Alert the rest of the fleet.
I want a fully armed boarding party on standby.
Let's go. Let's go!
- Yes, sir. - All fleet stand by.
What is it? What do you see?
The ghost ship.
Which means...
The triangle craft should come next.
It's nice to see you, Mimi.
You told the generals you had something for me?
Is that the only reason you're here?
What other reason would there be?
Mimi, I'm sorry.
I don't expect you to forgive me...
I don't.
But maybe someday you will understand why.
You almost got me killed.
Allen, our son.
What am I supposed to understand?
That in some ways, you and I are very much alike.
We are nothing alike.
I asked for you
because you are the only person I trust
to deliver my message safely.
This is the name and address
of the highest ranking operative of ours in Ohio.
She knows all about Blue Book
as well as Russian counterintelligence.
She is who the generals are looking for.
This is everything I swore to protect
my entire life, Mimi.
And now I'm giving it to you,
and when I do, my life will be over.
You can at least understand that, can't you?
So that's why you brought me here?
Just to tell me that?
Hey, hey, hey. Let her go.
Let her go!
I was never gonna hurt you, Mimi.
- Get her out of here! - I killed Cal to protect you.
- That's what you meant to me. - Get her out of here.
What, do you see something, Al?
The markings on that vessel.
Take a look. It's registered in Shanghai.
Yes, by sea, that's 11,000 miles from here.
Sir.
Boat is empty. Not a soul on board.
All right.
That abandoned boat's a hazard for other ships
passing through the area.
Put a demo crew together. I want it sunk.
- What? - Yes, sir.
Why would you do that?
Where are we at with our chopper?
Sir, the weather's forecast to clear in the next few hours.
The second it does, I want them off my ship.
- Is that understood? - Yes, sir.
What the hell was that?
We need to get on that trawler.
Appeared out of nowhere, like the lieutenant said,
right before the black triangle came?
I wanna know why,
and that means we need to get on board.
Oh well, I'm sure if we ask the admiral nicely,
he'll let us do whatever we want.
Captain, he didn't believe the photo,
but if there's evidence on that boat
to prove our case...
You realize I'd be risking a court martial?
As opposed to World War III?
They're gonna figure out we're here pretty quickly.
I'd say we have ten minutes.
Or worse, they don't
and blow this boat up with us on it.
This way.
I think they're on to us, Doc.
Fuel tank's nearly full.
This says there were six souls aboard
when they left Shanghai.
Look at that date.
Two days ago.
There's no way this boat traveled over 10,000 miles
in two days and still have a full tank of fuel.
Yeah. It's impossible.
Am I seeing things?
What is that, melted wood?
It's not melted.
Fused.
Like the wheel's somehow being absorbed
back into the boat.
All the glass is fused too.
You hear that?
What is that?
I don't understand.
You say I'm where?
In the North Atlantic near Norway.
No.
That's not possible.
Ship's log says there was a crew on board.
Where are they?
They took the lifeboat.
I stayed with the ship.
That's what a captain does.
And what's your name, Captain?
Turi.
Well, Turi, we got a U.S. Naval fleet
that thinks you're a Russian asset.
Now, they're on their way
to apprehend all of us as we speak,
so we're gonna need to explain how the hell you ended up here.
We were fishing,
setting up the nets,
and suddenly, the power...
Then we see this light.
Coming from under the boat.
A craft of some sort.
This craft, what did it look like?
Triangle.
And it came up from under the water?
Fishermen, they all told the stories
of the cities under the sea.
What do you mean, cities?
Where the triangle come from.
Been here for thousands of years.
You're sure that this is what you saw?
I would bet my life on it.
We are not alone.
Unidentified vessel, prepare to be boarded!
I left something in Joel's room.
Hey, hey, hey. Let her go.
Let her go!
Yes?
Um...
This is the address...
on the letter from Lena?
Who are you?
She wanted me to deliver this
to her.
I'm sorry.
Is Mommy here?
Take good care of her, okay?
Pull the destroyers into position
and put them on high alert,
and I want the frigates moved here
to make room for the carriers by nightfall.
Aye, aye, admiral.
Admiral, sir.
You said bring them to you first.
Yes. Thank you, Master Chief.
Gentlemen, come here. I want to show you something.
In the past eight hours,
we've picked up Russian submarines
here, here, and here.
The entire carrier fleet
is already moved into open water.
They're preparing for war.
And in the middle of this, I've had to stop this ship
and send men out to bring you back
because you disobeyed an order.
Sir, our orders are from Senator Kennedy.
And there was still a fisherman on that boat.
We have the authority to act on our own accord.
He saw the triangle craft, and it wasn't Russian!
You said a fisherman said it wasn't Russian?
Oh, I see.
So in your eyes, his word means more
than the admiral of this ship?
Sir, there was more evidence onboard that ship
that we cannot explain.
That you couldn't explain?
Try explaining to the president of the United States
why you let Russia sink an entire NATO fleet
and fire a first strike on the mainland
because a couple of insolent Air Force idiots showed up
and tried to convince you that it was aliens
flying around your ship
and not the Communist superpower
that has publicly vowed to destroy you!
So now, I'm gonna throw you in the brig
and ask you give thanks
for my having mercy on your sorry asses.
Now get off my bridge!
All ahead full.
When Kennedy doesn't hear from us, he'll reach out.
- He'll help. - It'll be too late by then, Doc.
What was that?
Captain.
That's coming from below.
Battle stations!
Hey, Doc. Come on.
Which way?
Doc, over here.
Is it the Russians?
There!
What's it doing?
What did we just see out there?
Sir, we've got multiple targets
moving faster than any known submarine.
Where the hell are they?
300 feet down.
Looks like they're nearing some sort of...
Some sort of what?
I don't know, sir.
Maybe...
What just happened?
I'm not sure.
They could've disappeared into some sort of structure,
but all the charts we have don't show anything down there.
Whatever that thing is, if we can read it on radar,
our depth charges can find it too.
We have to take matters into our own hands now.
Where are we going?
How do you stop someone from making a horrible mistake?
You make the choice for them.
What are we doing here?
I'm going after those things.
Hold on, you're what?
400 feet down.
This sub is capable of that.
I can ID whatever's below, radio backup.
Once I'm inside, you'll need to open the hatch
that lets me out.
That's the switch right there.
- I'm not doing that. - Yes, you are.
No, I'm not!
Doc, if the admiral thinks I'm down there,
he won't launch an attack.
But what if whatever's down there is hostile?
What if it is the Russians and I made a mistake?
Is that what you really think?
Neither do I.
Do you even know how to pilot a submarine?
Had some basic training once.
Yeah, well Mimi showed me how to make pancakes once,
but I couldn't flip one now if you gave me a snow shovel.
I don't know that I can do this.
Doc.
I came so close in D.C.
If there really is something from another world down there,
I wanna see what it is.
This is why we do this.
Okay.
Be careful.
Careful would've been staying at home to begin with.
I'm doing what needs to be done.
Good luck.
Depth charges, Hedgehogs, torpedoes.
We'll throw everything we've got at 'em.
Admiral, you can't fire now. The captain's down there.
- You'll kill him. - He's what?
Captain Quinn's deployed himself into a submarine.
He's heading after those things.
- You're not serious. - Oh, yes, I am.
- Check your gauges. - Sir, we're in range and ready to fire.
Then he's put himself in harm's way.
Don't you dare.
I will not risk the lives of all of my men
for one of yours.
Oh, my God.
"USS Wisconsin",
if you can hear me, don't attack.
I'm nearing the sight. Don't attack.
It's not a cave, it's...
something else.
It's beautiful.
Admiral, you can't do this.
I didn't do this. You did.
My responsibility is to the fleet.
No, please! No, you can't do this.
- You'll kill him! - Get out of my way!
Fire at will!
Fire! Fire!
Admiral, no! You're making a mistake!
- Depth charges away. - No!
Charges away.
Depth charges away.
Admiral, no!
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Shit.
_
What's it say?
The events will be officially ruled
as humpback whales diving above and beneath the seawater,
feeding on bioluminescent plankton.
It's done.
Yeah.
For now.
He didn't have any family
that I could forward these on to.
I'm, uh...
I'm gonna recommend him for the Medal of Honor.
I think that's the only right thing to do, Jim.
The ghost ship.
It'd be there one second and gone the next.
The cities under the sea.
But what if whatever's down there is hostile?
What if it is the Russians, and I made a mistake?
Is that what you really think?
Allen?
This is why we do this.
Allen.
You need to come to bed.
It's 2:00 a.m. You haven't slept in days.
No, no, no. Look at this.
One man missing, two left alive,
traveling 3,700 miles in three days.
Two... two people missing, one left alive,
- traveling 3,000 miles in two days... - Allen.
It's just like the ghost ship.
You need to let this go.
Allen.
You have to let him go.
It's not a cave; it's something else.
It's beautiful.
This can't be.
Can't be.
Oh, my God.
I can't say I'm surprised you found me, Doctor.
It is, after all, the logical choice.
Tierra Del Fuego.
Last stop on land before Antarctica.
What does surprise me
is that you accepted my invitation.
Well, I didn't.
In fact, you are the last person on Earth
I wanna see right now.
Then why are you here?
I need help finding someone.
Something tells me I'm looking at the only person
who may actually be able to do that.
Who are you searching for?
What just happened?
What happened?
It appears that all our depth charges
have been neutralized somehow, sir.
And Quinn?
Where's the submarine?
Captain.
Quinn, do you read me?
Quinn, do you read?
Captain.
Then what happened, to the submarine
and to the captain?
I don't understand.
How could everything down there just vanish?
Doctor?
He found them.
And now it's time to find Quinn.
Three, one, five, four,
five, six, five, three, nine.
