Bride Sir. With the Marconi international marine radio telegraphy...
Yes, yes! Sit down...
Sorry Sir!
And continue..
Yes sir!
Now have you reached any ships in the immediate vicinity Mr. Bride?
6 or 7 sir! The closest seems to be Carpathia- that's the Cunard line..
Yes I know Carpathia, Mr. Bride...
They acknowledged our CQD at 11:58pm saying they turned and are coming hard...
How far is she?
58 miles...
That's more than four hours away!
Carpathia can't be the only ship in the vicinity Mr. Bride!
There was one other sir.. The Kalifornia. Her signal was much stronger than the others. I put her within 10 miles but since the accident - she hasn't responded..
Why not??
I don't know sir...
EJ- You've got to do something!
What would you suggest Mr. Ismay?
We need another ship here immediately!
I'm afraid the nearest one to respond is four hours away.
Four hours! We'll be on the bottom by then!
What about the Kalifornia Mr. Bride? You said that she might be close by...
I'm sure she is Sir. But still no response...
You must demand a response...
The smaller ships only carry one radio man Sir. He must have signed off and gone to bed...
Well keep trying for God's sake!
There's a new distress call- SOS. It's hardly ever been used but it's easier to read than the CQD and I thought perhaps if I tried...
Try anything you like Mr. Bride! You must rouse that ship!!
Yes Sir! Titanic - SOS. Situation critical! Come in Kalifornia! Where are you old man?! Why the hell don't you answer?!
