World War One
British Admirality
Thank you for coming.
We were told you had an urgent message for us.
Is there a problem?
Yes...our troups suffer great losses.
There are many injured soldiers.
How unfortunate, which hospital are you talking about?
I think we're talking about Mudros, a well known start-up point for hospital ships.
Correct. We need more of those.
Do you have any favourites?
I've already arranged some ships, but I'm thinking about the Britannic too.
From White Star Line? I think she's back at the shipyard.
Yes, she is about to be refitted for commercial service.
We will need her. Inform everyone that the ship has to return to hospital service to Mudros.
As you wish.
They won't be pleased.
We don't have any choice. The Aquitania is currently damaged and can't do it. And we need every single available ship.
I understand, Sir.
You really wanna go back to war, Percy?
I have to, they need every available man.
But you already served your country.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
As you know Matthew is at war, too.
I'm always so worried about you when you go aboard a ship. Think back of the Empress or the Titanic.
I'll really be fine.
Where are my documents? ... Ah, here they are.
Goodbye, darling.
Take care of yourself.
Let's go.
Hospital Mudros
Doctor! - Yes?
There is a message from the Admirality. - What do they write?
The Britannic will come. - And when?
That they didn't write. - They better hurry, men are dieing here!
I wished the Britannic already was an ocean liner. But another journey to Mudros can't hurt.
I agree, Sir. We don't have to be worried. She's much saver than her sisters.
Yes. Did I mention that I've been personally overseeing her construction?
No, Sir. That's new to me.
How's the loading going?
Very good, Sir. We are almost complete. There shouldn't be any delay.
Fantastic. It's gonna be a routine voyage.
Hello.
Hello. What can I do for you?
I need my documents for the Britannic.
Ah, Mr McAdam. I have them right here. You better take them directly to the ship.
Thank you. Good bye.
Excuse me? You must be Colonel Anderson.
Yes, I am. And you are...?
I'm Percy McAdam. You need my documents?
Right. Mr McAdam. You are Captain of the Royal Army Medical Corps.
What does that mean? - You are member of the high ranked personnel. You will get a better cabin.
Wonderful. - Your uniform will be there too. Here's your key.
Thank you.
Ah, Adam-Style. Claire likes Adam.
She has very good taste. Ad here's my uniform.
Captain, may I introduce you to Mr Percy McAdam?
Yes, I've heard of you. I'm Captain Bartlett and this is my 1st officer Oliver.
Hello. - It's a pleasure.
What is your rank?
I'm Captain of the Royal Army Medical Corps.
Welcome on board then, Mr McAdam. You know the processes here?
Of course, Sir.
Very good.
Well, I'm sure you have much to do. Vickers, take Mr McAdam to the areas of the RAMC.
Yes, Sir.
Please follow me.
Did you know that he has a terrible habit of sailing on sinking ships?
Oh, that's a bad omen.
Don't worry. This is a hospital ship. We cannot be attacked.
Cast off!
Cast off.
Slow speed ahead!
Slow speed ahead, Sir.
OK, men! Slow speed ahead! We finally cast off.
Did we recieve a message of the Britannic?
Yes, they need a week to get here.
Alright.
Full ahead!
OK, men, we go full ahead. If there's anything unusual, you report that to me!
Keep watch over the bearings. And tell boiler room 6 that we need more steam.
We cannot allowe the engine to overheat. See to that.
Captain? - Ah, Oliver. Keep speed and course. - Aye.
Dyke, could you take the command for a moment?
Mr McAdam... - Yes?
Do you enjoy the voyage? - Yes, thank you?
It would be wonderful if you put more effort into your service onboard this ship.
I'm doing that all the time. - Good.
Then always remind yourself: This is a hospital ship. We are carrying medical supplies to Mudros.
So please do less enjoyment and more commitment.
I understand. I should go.
Good day, Ladies. My name is Dr Muir.
The first lesson will be the basic rules you have to follow concerning dealing with patients. Please listen to me carefully.
I see everything's ok here. Very good.
OK John, this is my modest cabin.
This is much more than modest. I see Captains have advantages.
You get what you pay for.
But tell me: How are you?
I'm fine. I just hope that this war will be over soon. There have been enough deaths already.
I agree. Then there wouldn't be necessarity for hospital service and Claire could sleep better.
I think she's worried about you because of your experiences with ship sinkings.
I've always been lucky.
Your call three sinkings "lucky"?
They were a bit unfortunate. I'm sure this ship can do better.
What's the situation, Dyke?
We're making 20 knots.
See to it that we make 21 knots. The patients at Mudros are expecting us.
Yes, Sir.
Men! I'd like to introduce Captain McAdam. He will be with us during this voyage.
Good day, Gentlemen.
I expect that you'll be good comrades and follow his orders. That's all for now. You're dismissed for now.
Do you have any questions? - No, Sir. Thank you.
Come to me if you have any problems. - Thank you.
Everyone, wear your lifebelts! Stay in the line! Go to the lifeboats!
Men! We always have to stay calm and follow the officer's orders!
You seem to have much routine.
It's just experience. - I've heard of that. But I'm sure there won't be a serious situation on this voyage.
Never say never, Mr McTavish.
Won't you go outside, Mr Christian? - There are so many people out there. And it's just a drill, you know?
Yes. But we have to take this serious. Could be an emergency some day.
I'll come later.
Where are the other engineers? - They're still down in the engine room. But they'll be coming soon.
Good. I case of an emergency only a couple of engineers stays in the engine room. - I know, Sir.
Let's hope the others would remember that.
Captain McAdam? - Ah, Vickers, what's going on?
Captain Bartlett invites you to dinner. - Very well, thank you.
You're welcome.
Good evening, Mr McAdam. Please sit down.
Good evening Captain Bartlett, Mr Oliver.
Did you settle down? - Yes, thank you.
Good.
I invited you because you are a man of status, if you know what I mean.
I understand. - During war a dinner with gentlemen is a rare thing.
But only during war.
Percy, hello. - Still awake?
Yes, I needed some fresh air. Everything ok?
Of course, I'm fine. - You look a bit tired.
Yes, I'm going to bed now.
Good night, then. - Good night.
That's it for me. Your turn now, Laws.
Alright, any instructions?
No, Laws. Keep speed and course. - Understood. Good night, Mr Oliver.
Do you know that the Wideners are onboard, too?
This would be my cabin. - Very beautiful. Old Dutch, right?
I've always been a fan of Old Dutch. And this furniture should be from Mutters en Zoon, very good quality.
What would you like, gentlemen?
I'd like a prussian raspberry tea with cucumber and onions, and some other unappetizing things.
Would you like to take a lady to dinner? - Of course.
He had no idea that I've hidden the money inside the oven. And when he returned, drunk as usually, he put fire into the oven.
What a dumb dream...after so many years I still suffer from these memories...
Come here, Percy.
Max?
Come to me, Percy.
Max, is that you?
This can't be...
Max, is that really you?
Yes. - How is this possible?
We don't have time, I have to warn you.
Why? - This ship is a death trap.
But why? This is a hospital ship. - It doesn't matter, bad things will happen.
Bad things...no, wait! Max!
Max! - No, I'm not Max. - Oh!
You scared me. - And you confused me. Who are you talking to here?
To my old friend.
Are you alright? - I should go to bed.
Yes, you should.
Yes...good night. - Good night.
Haven't you got anything to do?
Everything looks alright.
Good morning, Mr McAdam. - Good morning, Mr Laws.
Are you on your way to work?
No, I'm free this forenoon. Rentoul is at service at the moment.
I have to work this afternoon.
Then care to join me for some relaxation? - Relaxation?
You mean the Turkish baths? - Yes, you have time at the moment?
Yes, why not. - Very well, please follow me.
It seems we are not the only ones who need some relaxation. - You're right. We have little to do at the moment.
Come, let's change.
What's the problem? - There's a small malfunction on the condeser.
How bad is it? - Not that bad. I'm going to fix it immediately.
I'll inform Mr Fleming then. - Yes.
Here you are. I've been looking for you. Don't you have to work?
I'm free at the moment, Captain. - Would you have some time? I'd like to speak to you.
Of course, just let me change.
Well, I'd like to have a little chat about this ship.
Ok? - Yes.
You have some experience with her two sisters, the Olympic and the Titanic.
Yes, I definitely have.
You must know: I've overseen the construction of the Britannic and the implementation of the safety functions.
I'd like to hear your opinion.
Did they implement a second skin of steel? I know that they did that with the Olympic.
Yes, this was the first improvement. We also raised the bulkheads and installed modern gantry davits.
We tried to eradicate all of her weaknesses. - I see.
I big problem on Titanic was the fact that the Scotland Road didn't have any bulkheads.
Yes, that problem was obvious. I noticed it when I was looking at the plans.
After Mr Andrews' death the shipyard had some problems so they came to me to work with them on this ship.
Yes, Mr Andrews...he often took notes of possible improvements.
And exactly these notes were missing. We only had a few notes about the Olympic.
Did you know that the german Imperator has got an iceberg warning system?
Yes, we don't have anything like that. But nevertheless we are well equipped.
Well, I'm sure you have got things to do. Thank you for your time. - You're always welcome, Captain.
Captain? - Yes? - I just wanted to report that we had a little malfunction of one of the condensers, but we were able to fix it.
Good work, that could have caused problems. - Thank you, Captain.
Percy, would you like to sit down? We always eat together.
Alright, I could use a little lunch.
You seem tired, what's wrong? - What do you mean?
Yesterday you seemed to be ill or something, and today you don't really look better. There must be something wrong with you, old friend.
Perhaps all this isn't as easy for me as I thought. - What do you mean?
Come on, you can tell me... - I had a dream about Titanic. - Oh...
And then, after I woke up, I heard Max' voice.
Do I know this "Max"? - No, you don't.
He was with me on the Titanic, the Empress and the Lusitania, on which he finally died.
I'm very sorry, ... but I think you just had another dream.
I could swear that I was awake. He warned me about this ship.
I guess you may have had a hallucination.
You should go to the doctor. - I know what I saw. - I'm not sure about that.
Captain? - You wouldn't believe where I found Mr McAdam... - Inside the swimming bath?
Very close... - You mean the Turkish Bath? - He had some free time. - Well, then I'll go to the sauna...
I'm glad that there aren't any patients onboard yet. We have some free time now.
Yes, and we have prepared everything for them, so we can use some of the conveniences of this ship. Have you been to the pool?
Are we allowed there? I thought only officers were allowed inside.
I've heard that we can use the pool sometimes.
On Olympic that of course wouldn't be possible. - Right, you have some experiences with the sisterships.
Yes, the Olympic class has some issues. - If you say that...
Excuse me, do you now more about the trips today?
I think they will happen. I'd like to go to Herkulaneum.
Me too. I think it's very impressive. I'm Dr Muir.
Hello, I'm Captain McAdam.
Hello, Percy. - Hello, John. May I introduce Dr Muir?
Hello. - Hello.
Are you going to Herkulaneum, too? - No, I'm going to the famous pizza house Brandi.
Enjoy your meal. - Thank you, and you two are visiting old ruins?
You know I'm interested in history.
Yes, I know.
Moor the ship as well as you can! There will be a storm! And Oliver, please handle the intake of coal and water.
Yes, Sir. May I open the trips for the personnel?
When the ship is save and the intake are proceeding, yes. - Aye aye.
Gentlemen, I recieved word from the Captain that you all are now allowed to leave the ship. But don't come back too late, there will be a storm this evening.
The trip destinations stay the same? - Yes, one group to Herkulaneum and one group to the city.
Wonderful. - Then let's hurry. You know that the weather will change.
Captain, now we know more about the weather forecast. - Then tell me.
There will be a storm and a strong sea this evening.
Is the ship moored? - Yes, Sir. And the crew is leaving for their trips.
Let's hope we're still here when they return.
Please be careful, the coal has to be spread evenly.
Nice. - Today we're travelling with style.
After you.
Mr Fleming? Ready for our culinary adventure?
Of course. - Where exactly is this pizza house?
I know the position. Just follow me.
Captain, the groups have just left the ship. - Good, let's hope that everything will be alright.
Where is it now? - It's right here.
Look at all these ruins. Impressive, isn't it?
Yes, you can feel the disaster.
I think it's scary that the corpses are exactly where these people died.
The time seems to have stopped here.
It was a good idea to organize these trips.
It's more interesting than staying at the ship all the time. - Yes.
The weather begins to change. - Fortunately we've been doing some preparations. I just hope the groups will be back soon.
I don't like the forecast. - Well, I'll continue. - Yes, do that.
God, the storm becomes stronger and sronger. - Hurry, let's go inside.
At least we were able to look around a bit. - Yes, I would have liked to sty longer but...
Yes, the storm... - My uniform is totally wet.
I should go to my cabin and change. - Do that. We'll meet again. - Of course.
Doctor! Did you enjoy the ruins? - Yes, and how was the pizza?
Very delicious. There were some smaller complications at the house, but it was fine in the end.
Aha? - Yes, nothing special. - Ok.
Well, good bye, Doctor. - Good bye.
Moor everything that hasn't been moored yet.
Everything alright? - Yes, we're doing our best.
Hopefully the weather gets better in the next hours.
You're right. We can't continue our journey under these circumstances.
Do we know more about the Britannic? - No, but we think she's fighting with a storm. - Not good. We really need her here.
The storm seems to be gone completely. - Yes, we're lucky. But we're also a little late.
Yes, but that can't be changed anymore.
Did you find any damage? - No, I couln't.
Very good. Then we can get back to work. We're delayed in a great deal. - Yes, Sir.
Are you feeling better right now? - What do you mean?
The story of the ghost.
Ah, yes. ... I don't know what to think.
I would guess that the prior sinkings left their scars.
Perhaps...well, I should go to bed.
Good night.
Be warned.
I have a bad feeling about this.
The weather is pleasant. - Like on a vacation.
Fortunately we don't have to pay attention to u-boats.
I'll go to bed. Keep course and speed, Mr Oliver.
Aye, Sir.
Well, good night.
Max, may I introduce Miss Dorothy Gibson. She's an actress. - It's a pleasure. - Good day.
Percy, have you heard of the Astors wedding? - Yes, I did. New York is talking just about that. - Really? - It's a scandal, they say.
Mr Ismay. I must congratulate you to this magnificent vessel.
Thank you.
We really tried to build a worthy sister ship to the Olympic.
She's just fabulus. And top modern.
Talking about the Olympic: I've heard that there will be a third ship of this class.
You're talking about the Gigantic. Yes, this will be our next project.
I'm very worried, Percy. The Captain has recieved ice warnings but won't slow the ship.
Ice warnings? Believe me, the crew is trained well. They know what they're doing.
So, Percy...how was your cocoa with ketchup? - Fantastic, you should try that, too.
If you say so... - I need some fresh air, come, Alfred.
I think the u-boat warning is a bluff of the Germans to obstruct the ocean traffic to England.
I agree. And the Lusitania is far too quick to be a target for these u-boats.
Max, where are you?
You didn't find me, Percy. Why couln't you find me?
What did you do wrong? So many people died.
Why didn't you find me. This ship is a death trap. Be warned.
What did I just dream??? Maybe I really should see the doctor.
Anything unusual?
No, everything is fine. Vickers, tell the Captain that we're keeping our speed.
What a wonderful weather.
Are you feeling better today? - A bit.
Let's forget about it. - If you say so...
When do you have to work today? - At 2.30 pm. I hope we'll be arriving at Mudros soon.
I hope so too. The entire personnel is on standby, it's time for them to get something to do.
Well...so far nothing has happened, despite Mr McAdam...
Alright, I shouldn't have said that.
What's going on here? - We have been hit by a torpedo or a mine. I can't say what it really was. And our radio antenna has ripped.
So we can't recieve any messages. - Correct. But we can send them.
Good, close all the watertight doors and send a distress call. Then I want someone to go down and do a report about the damage.
Right away, Sir.
Captain! - Oliver, sound the alarm! - All crew members to their stations!
Yes, Sir.
See? I told you! But you thought me ill! - Calm down. We have to go to our stations. Come.
Swing them out! Hurry!
There was an explosion near the fireman's tunnel. I need a damage report.
Where exactly and how strong is the water intrusion?
And tell all boiler rooms that we need as much steam as possible.
Sir? - Coe, what did you find?
The first boiler rooms have been flooded as well as the cargo holds. - What? Aren't the watertight doors closed?
We don't know, Sir. - Thank you, Coe.
That doesn't sound good. - Tell me... - The lifeboats are being prepared.
Good, but don't lower them until I told you. - As you wish, Sir. What are we going to do?
I will try to beach the ship. - Aye.
Take on your lifebelts!
Come on, lower! - What are you doing?
There wasn't an order from the bridge yet. - Sir, the men want to leave the ship immediately. The don't take any risks.
Well, it's too late now. But wait with the other boats and you: Please rescue other people who are in the water if you spot any.
Stay calm, Gentlemen! Soon we will be evacuating!
Percy, I don't think these are all of our men. Please go downstairs and send the rest to me.
Ok, I'll be back in no time.
Sir, the steering engine doesn't react! - That too...alright, then we have to make it to Kea otherwise.
I will try to steer with the propellers. - Let's try that, Sir.
What are you doing here? Go upstairs and report to Major Priestley!
Oh my God.
There you are. I've been looking for you. - Has everyone arrived?
Yes, but we still need provisions.
Lieutnant Starkie is going to look for bread. I'm going to do the same.
Good idea. I'm also going to help. But first I have to check the ship.
But be careful. - Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.
The watertight doors seem to fail, that's a bad sign.
Lower the boat! Evenly please! Go on!
Lower!
There should be a galley.
What was that? I think somebody's in danger...
What are you doing here? - I just wanted to look for something...
Don't do that. Look, now you're hurt!
I know...would you help me up the stairs? - Yes, come.
Let's go.
The door is over there. We're almost there.
Come.
Can you do the rest on your own? - Yes, I think I can.
Thank you. - Hurry up!
Ok, back to the bread.
God...
Why didn't I bring a basket?
Oh no! I have to get out of here! Go away, bread!
The floods are so strong.
Damn!
Good. I have to look for another way.
Stay calm, we will evacuate you soon.
Ah, there's my hat.
But now I should go.
Empty? Someone must have been here already.
Please bring him to the others.
Captain McAdam! - Dr Muir? - Have you seen any hurt people? - Hurt people?
Yes, a few men go hurt during the explosion. - No, I haven't.
I'd like to go downstairs and look for them. Would you come with me?
I can do that, but you won't get far. The water is already on E-Deck. - We should be very careful then.
Oh my gosh, the water is coming in really fast. - That's what I told you. There won't be any crew members left. - This came from over there!
Come!
Hello? Is anybody here? - Noone seems to be here.
Let's go upstairs. Oh no, not again... - You're right, we should leave.
That was close. - I really thought that I've heard somebody down there.
But nobody was there. - Obviously. Let's go back to the others.
I have to take care of the wounded.
Get to the wounded, I'll come later. - Alright, be careful.
I will be.
The ship is going down much too quickly...something must be wrong with the bulkheads.
Do you have a minute, Captain? - Is there anything important?
Yes, I've been on D-Deck. The water is already there.
The ship is sinking too fast.
I thought so, too. Do you have problems with the bulkheads?
Firemen told us that the watertight doors of the foreward boiler rooms couldn't be closed entirely. - But even then the ship shouldn't be sinking that rapidly.
I don't know exactly what's going on...perhaps my attempts to beach the ship are playing into this... - Maybe you shouldn't do that.
It's our only chance to save the ship.
Right...good luck then. I'm going back to my men. - Do that.
Sound the alarm again! And Vickers, it's time for you to leave! - As you wish, Captain.
I'm getting worried... - Let's do our best.
Did you find any bread?
Yes, but the water overpowered me, I couldn't bring it.
Too bad, but at least you're fine. Did you see Starkie down there?
No.
Where can he be? - I'm going to look for him.
But don't look too long! We'll be leaving soon! - I'll hurry!
Alright, let's try it again! Stop the evacuation and then full spead ahead!
Starboard engine STOP!
Port engine full ahead!
Bartlett goes full ahead? I hope he knows what he's doing.
The water is being sucked into the ship...it can't go on like this! But before I talk to Bartlett, I have to find Starkie.
Starkie, are you there? Starkie?
Starkie? Hello? This is Captain McAdam! Starkie?
He's not here. But there's some bread. I think I take this with me.
Oh, this is bad. I need another way, perhaps through the 2nd class.
Captain, the water level inside the ship is rising quickly. I don't think that we're gonna make it.
How's the rest? - They are ready to leave the ship, Sir.
Alright, stop the engines and evacuate the rest. At least we've tried.
Ok, this should be...what's wrong here? This door's locked? Then I have to find another way...
Wait, Percy hasn't returned yet! And Starkie hasn't either.
We can't wait. They will be fine, maybe jump. - But Sir. - Lower the boat!
Hah...all for nothing...
Give the last orders to the engine room an sound the alarm and the horn!
Men! The engines have stopped and we have order to evacuate!
Everone to the upper decks! And don't leave anyone!
That looks like a way. Perhaps I can talk to one of the engineers to get a good impression of the damage.
Noone's here?
And here too?
Noone left...is it really that bad? In this short time? Then I should hurry!
Everyone abandon ship!
All crew members have left the ship, Captain!
Very well, go now! Quick! I'm behind you!
Oh, I think the bread isn't necessary any longer...
Oh mighty God...
Can you spot Percy? He must be in the water!
I can't move...damn!
Captain! Are you alright? - Where is Laws? He has to explain these unnecessary deaths! - I don't know, Sir. Haven't seen him.
Please, Mr Cornway. You must know something about Percy.
I already told you that he is not on the list.
That can't be.
What's going on here? - Mr Fleming misses a Percy McAdam. Do you know more?
No, sorry...but if he was inside the ship I don't have high expectations...
How's the list, Mr Cornway? - We have 30 deaths. And we can't find Mr McAdam.
Why? I gave the order to abandon ship. Was he still inside?
We think he was looking for Starkie... - One unnecessary loss more...
Alright, continue your work. I need some clothes and then I have to report to the Admirality...
You call that a coffee? - Hey, Carlo... - I'm going to Hamburg, there I'm going to visit the Imperator. - I like games. What do I have to do? - You have to buy a ticket, it costs one dollar...
I warned you. - What is this?
That is eternity. Now come. - Where? - To the others...
A telegram? Thanks. ... The Britannic has been sunk? What terrible news...
We need as much hospital ships as possible! We must compensate this loss.
Hello, my name is Henry Percy McAdam.
