    <scene_description>Then two faint lights appear , close together ... growing brighter . They resolve into two DEEP SUBMERSIBLES , free-falling toward us like express elevators . One is ahead of the other , and passes close enough to FILL FRAME , looking like a spacecraft blazing with lights , bristling with insectile manipulators . TILTING DOWN to follow it as it descends away into the limitless blackness below . Soon they are fireflies , then stars . Then gone .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>PUSHING IN on one of the falling submersibles , called MIR ONE , right up to its circular viewport to see the occupants . INSIDE , it is a cramped seven foot sphere , crammed with equipment . ANATOLY MIKAILAVICH , the sub 's pilot , sits hunched over his controls ... singing softly in Russian . Next to him on one side is BROCK LOVETT . He 's in his late forties , deeply tanned , and likes to wear his Nomex suit unzipped to show the gold from famous shipwrecks covering his gray chest hair . He is a wiley , fast-talking treasure hunter , a salvage superstar who is part historian , part adventurer and part vacuum cleaner salesman . Right now , he is propped against the CO2 scrubber , fast asleep and snoring . On the other side , crammed into the remaining space is a bearded wide-body named LEWIS BODINE , sho is also asleep . Lewis is an R.O.V . ( REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE ) pilot and is the resident Titanic expert . Anatoly glances at the bottom sonar and makes a ballast adjustment .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>5 MINUTES LATER : THE TWO SUBS skim over the seafloor to the sound of sidescan sonar and the THRUM of big thrusters . 6 The featureless gray clay of the bottom unrols in the lights of the subs . Bodine is watching the sidescan sonar display , where the outline of a huge pointed object is visible . Anatoly lies prone , driving the sub , his face pressed to the center port .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Out of the darkness , like a ghostly apparition , the bow of the ship appears . Its knife-edge prow is coming straight at us , seeming to plow the bottom sediment like ocean waves . It towers above the seafloor , standing just as it landed 84 years ago . THE TITANIC . Or what is left of her . Mir One goes up and over the bow railing , intact except for an overgrowth of `` rusticles '' draping it like mutated Spanish moss . TIGHT ON THE EYEPIECE MONITOR of a video camcorder . Brock Lovett 's face fills the BLACK AND WHITE FRAME .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Mir Two drives aft down the starboard side , past the huge anchor while Mir One passes over the seemingly endless forecastle deck , with its massive anchor chains still laid out in two neat rows , its bronze windlass caps gleaming .

    <dialogue>Dive nine. Here we are again on the deck of Titanic... two and a half miles down. The pressure is three tons per square inch, enough to crush us like a freight train going over an ant if our hull fails. These windows are nine inches thick and if they go, it's sayonara in two microseconds.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>Bodine slips on a pair of 3-D electronic goggles , and grabs the joystick controls of the ROV . OUTSIDE THE SUB , the ROV , a small orange and black robot called SNOOP DOG , lifts from its cradle and flies forward .</scene_description>

    <dialogue>Walkin' the dog.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>SNOOP DOG drives itself away from the sub , paying out its umbilical behind it like a robot yo-yo . Its twin stereo-video cameras swivel like insect eyes . The ROV descends through an open shaft that once was the beautiful First Class Grand Staircase . Snoop Dog goes down several decks , then moves laterally into the First Class Reception Room . SNOOP 'S VIDEO POV , moving through the cavernous interior . The remains of the ornate handcarved woodwork which gave the ship its elegance move through the floodlights , the lines blurred by slow dissolution and descending rusticle formations . Stalactites of rust hang down so that at times it looks like a natural grotto , then the scene shifts and the lines of a ghostly undersea mansion can be seen again . MONTAGE STYLE , as Snoop passes the ghostly images of Titanic 's opulence : 10 A grand piano in amazingly good shape , crashed on its side against a wall . The keys gleam black and white in the lights . A chandelier , still hanging from the ceiling by its wire ... glinting as Snoop moves around it.Its lights play across the floor , revealing a champagne bottle , then some WHITE STAR LINE china ... a woman 's high-top `` granny shoe '' . Then something eerie : what looks like a child 's skull resolves into the porcelain head of a doll . Snoop enters a corridor which is much better preserved . Here and there a door still hangs on its rusted hinges . An ornate piece of molding , a wall sconce ... hint at the grandeur of the past . THE ROV turns and goes through a black doorway , entering room B-52 , the sitting room of a `` promenade suite '' , one of the most luxurious staterooms on Titanic .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Glinting in the lights are the brass fixtures of the near-perfectly preserved fireplace . An albino Galathea crab crawls over it . Nearby are the remains of a divan and a writing desk . The Dog crosses the ruins of the once elegant room toward another DOOR . It squeezes through the doorframe , scraping rust and wood chunks loose on both sides . It moves out of a cloud of rust and keeps on going .</scene_description>

    <character>LOVETT</character>
    <dialogue>Easy, Lewis. Take it slow.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Lewis grips a wardrobe door , lying at an angle in a corner , and pulls it with Snoop 's gripper . It moves reluctantly in a cloud of silt . Under it is a dark object . The silt clears and Snoop 's cameras show them what was under the door ...</scene_description>

A crowd has gathered , including most of the crew of KELDYSH , the sub crews , and a hand-wringing money guy named BOBBY BUELL who represents the limited partners . There is also a documentary video crew , hired by Lovett to cover his moment of glory . Everyone crowds around the safe . In the background Mir Two is being lowered into its cradle on deck by a massive hydraulic arm . Mir One is already recovered with Lewis Bodine following Brock Lovett as he bounds over to the safe like a kid on Christman morning .</scene_description>

    <dialogue>Well, here it is, the moment of truth. Here's where we find out if the time, the sweat, the money spent to charter this ship and these subs, to come out here to the middle of the North Atlantic... were worth it. If what we think is in that same... is in that safe... it will be.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>A tech coaxes some letters in the water tray to one side with a tong ... revealing a pencil ( conte crayon ) drawing of a woman . Brock looks closely at the drawing , which is in excellent shape , though its edges have partially disintegrated . The woman is beautiful , and beautifully rendered . In her late teens or early twenties , she is nude , though posed with a kind of casual modesty . She is on an Empire divan , in a pool of light that seems to radiate outward from her eyes . Scrawled in the lower right corner is the date : April 14 1912 . And the initials JD . The girl is not entirely nude . At her throat is a diamond necklace with one large stone hanging in the center . Lovett grabs a reference photo from the clutter on the lab table . It is a period black-and-white photo of a diamond necklace on a black velvet jeller 's display stand . He holds it next to the drawing . It is clearly the same piece ... a complex setting with a massive central stone which is almost heart-shaped .</scene_description>

    <dialogue>Over here are a few things we've recovered from your staterooms.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Laid out on a worktable are fifty or so objects , from mundane to valuable . Rose , shrunken in her chair , can barely see over the table top . With a trembling hand she lifts a tortoise shell hand mirror , inlaid with mother of pearl . She caresses it wonderingly .</scene_description>
    <character>ROSE</character>
    <dialogue>This was mine. How extraordinary! It looks the same as the last time I saw it.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>She turns the mirror over and looks at her ancient face in the cracked glass .</scene_description>
    <character>ROSE</character>
    <dialogue>The reflection has changed a bit.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>She spies something else , a silver and moonstone art-nouveau brooch .</scene_description>
    <character>ROSE</character>
    <dialogue>My mother's brooch. She wanted to go back for it. Caused quite a fuss.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Rose picks up an ornate art-nouveau HAIR COMB . A jade butterfly takes flight on the ebony handle of the comb . She turns it slowly , remembering . We can see that Rose is experiencing a rush of images and emotions that have lain dormant for eight decades as she handles the butterfly comb .</scene_description>

    <character>BODINE</character>
    <dialogue>The bow's struck in the bottom like an axe, from the impact. Here... I can run a simulation we worked up on this monitor over here.</dialogue>

    <character>BODINE</character>
    <parenthetical>( CONT 'D )</parenthetical>
    <dialogue>forward compartments... and the water spills over the tops of the bulkheads, going aft. As her bow is going down, her stern is coming up... slow at first... and then faster and faster until it's lifting all that weight, maybe 20 or 30 thousand tons... out of the water and the hull ca n't deal... so SKRTTT!!</dialogue>
    <parenthetical>( making a sound in time with the animation )</parenthetical>
    <dialogue>... it splits! Right down to the keel, which acts like a big hinge. Now the bow swings down and the stern falls back level... but the weight of the bow pulls the stern up vertical, and then the bow section detaches, heading for the bottom. The stern bobs like a cork, floods and goes under about 2:20 a.m. Two hours and forty minutes after the collision.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The animation then follows the bow section as it sinks . Rose watches this clinical dissection of the disaster without emotion .</scene_description>
    <character>BODINE</character>
    <dialogue>The bow pulls out of its dive and planes away, almost a half a mile, before it hits the bottom going maybe 12 miles an hour. KABOOM!</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The bow impacts , digging deeply into the bottom , the animation now follows the stern .</scene_description>
    <character>BODINE</character>
    <dialogue>The stern implodes as it sinks, from the pressure, and rips apart from the force of the current as it falls, landing like a big pile of junk.</dialogue>

Rose recognizes one of the Wellin davits , still in place . She hears ghostly waltz music . The faint and echoing sound of an officer 's voice , English accented , calling `` Women and children only '' . 30 FLASH CUTS of screaming faces in a running crowd . Pandemonium and terror . People crying , praying , kneeling on the deck . Just impressions ... flashes in the dark . Rose Looks at another monitor . SNOOP DOG moving down a rusted , debris-filled corridor . Rose watches the endless row of doorways sliding past , like dark mouths . IMAGE OF A CHILD , three years old , standing ankle deep in water in the middle of an endless corridor .

    <scene_description>SHOT CONTINUES IN A FLORIOUS REVEAL as the gleaming white superstructure of Titanic rises mountainously beyond the rail , and above that the buff-colored funnels stand against the sky like the pillars of a great temple . Crewmen move across the deck , dwarfed by the awesome scale of the steamer . Southanmpton , England , April 10 , 1912 . It is almost nnon on ailing day . A crowd of hundreds blackens the pier next to Titanic like ants on a jelly sandwich . IN FG a gorgeous burgundy RENAULT TOURING CAR swings into frame , hanging from a loading crane . It is lowered toward HATCH # 2 . On the pier horsedrawn vehicles , motorcars and lorries move slowly through the dense throng . The atmosphere is one of excitement and general giddiness . People embrace in tearful farewells , or wave and shout bon voyage wishes to friends and relatives on the decks above . A white RENAULT , leading a silver-gray DAIMLER-BENZ , pushes through the crowd leaving a wake in the press of people . Around the handsome cars people are streaming to board the ship , jostling with hustling seamen and stokers , porters , and barking WHITE STAR LINE officials . The Renault stops and the LIVERIED DRIVER scurries to open the door for a YOUNG WOMAN dressed in a stunning white and purple outfit , with an enormous feathered hat . She is 17 years old and beautiful , regal of bearing , with piercing eyes . It is the girl in the drawing . ROSE . She looks up at the ship , taking it in with cool appraisal .</scene_description>

    <character>CAL</character>
    <dialogue>You can be blase about some things, Rose, but not about Titanic. It's over a hundred feet longer than Mauretania, and far more luxurious. It has squash courts, a Parisian cafe... even Turkish baths.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Cal turns and fives his hand to Rose 's mother , RUTH DEWITT BUKATER , who descends from the touring car being him . Ruth is a 40ish society empress , from one of the most prominent Philadelphia families . She is a widow , and rules her household with iron will .</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Cal speaks with the pride of a host providing a special experience . This entire entourage of rich Americans is impeccably turned out , a quintessential example of the Edwardian upper class , complete with servants . Cal 's VALET , SPICER LOVEJOY , is a tall and impassive , dour as an undertaker . Behind him emerge TWO MAIDS , personal servants to Ruth and Rose . A WHITE STAR LINE PORTER scurries toward them , harried by last minute loading .</scene_description>

TRUDY BOLT , Rose 's maid , hustles behind them , laden with bags of her mistress 's most recent purchases ... things too delicate for the baggage handlers . Cal leads , weaving between vehicles and handcarts , hurrying passengers ( mostly second class and steerage ) and well-wishers . Most of the first class passengers are avoiding the smelly press of the dockside crowd by using an elevated boarding bridge , twenty feet above . They pass a line of steerage passengers in their coarse wool and tweeds , queued up inside movable barriers like cattle in a chute . A HEALTH OFFICER examines their heads one by one , checking scalp and eyelashes for lice . They pass a well-dressed young man cranking the handle of a wooden Biograph `` cinematograph '' camera mounted on a tripod . NANIEL MARVIN ( whose father founded the Biograph Film Studio ) is filming his young bride in front of the Titanic . MARY MARVIN stands stiffly and smiles , self conscious .</scene_description>

Smoke pours from the funnels as -- The riven water flares higher at the bow as the ship 's speeds builds .

An emigrant from Manchester named CARTMELL has his 3 year old daughter CORA standing on the lower rung of the rail . She is leaned back against his beer barrel of a stomach , watching the seagulls . THE SKETCH captures them perfectly , with a great sense of the humanity of the moment . Jack is good . Really good . Fabrizio looks over Jack 's shoulder . He nods appreciatively . TOMMY RYAN , a scowling young Irish emigrant , watches as a crewmember comes by , walking three small dogs around the deck .

CLOSE ON JACK , unable to take his eyes off of her . They are across from each other , about 60 feet apart , with the well deck like a valley between them . She on her promontory , he on his much lower one . She stares down at the water . He watches her unpin her elaborate hat and take it off . She looks at the frilly absurd thing , then tosses it over the rail . It sails far down to the water and is carried away , astern . A spot of yellow in the vast ocean . He is riveted by her . She looks like a figure in a romantic novel , sad and isolated . Fabrizio taps Tommy and they both look at Jack gazin at Rose . Fabrizio and Tommy grin at each other . Rose turns suddenly and looks right at Jack . He is caught staring , but he does n't look away . She does , but then looks back . Their eyes meet across the space of the well deck , across the gulf between worlds . Jack sees a man ( Cal ) come up behind her and take her arm . She jerks her arm away . They argue in pantomime . She storms away , and he goes after her , disappearing along the A-deck promenade . Jack stares after her .</scene_description>

Hearing something , he turns as Rose runs up the stairs from the well deck . They are the only two on the stern deck , except for QUARTERMASTER ROWE , twenty feet above them on the docking bridge catwalk . She does n't see Jack in the shadows , and runs right past him . TRACKING WITH ROSE as she runs across the deserted fantail . Her breath hitches in an occasional sob , which she suppresses . Rose slams against the base of the stern flagpole and clings there , panting . She stares out at the black water . Then starts to climb over the railing . She has to hitch her long dress way up , and climbing is clumsy . Moving methodically she turns her body and gets her heels on the white-painted gunwale , her back to the railing , facing out toward blackness . 60 feet below her , the massive propellers are churning the atlantin into white foam , and a ghostly wake trails off toward the horizon . IN A LOW ANGLE , we see Rose standing like a figurehead in reverse . Below her are the huge letters of the name `` TITANIC '' . She leans out , her arms straightening ... looking down hypnotized , into the vortex below her . Her dress and hair are lifted by the wind of the ship 's movement . The only sound , above the rush of water below , is the flutter and snap of the big Union Jack right above her .</scene_description>

Rose 's hair blowing in slow motion as she gazes up at him , descending away from him ... she sees his hand trembling , the tears at the corners of his eyes , and can not believe the unbearable pain she is feeling ... Rose is still staring up , tears pouring down her face . SUDDENLY SHE IS MOVING . She lunges across the women next to her . Reaches the gunwale , climbing it ... Hurls herself out of the boat to the rail of the A-Deck promenade , catching it , and scrambling over the rail . The Boat 2 continues down . But Rose is back on Titanic .</scene_description>

Swimming in the water directly under the stern a few unfortunates shriek as they see the keel coming down on them like God 's bootheel .

Pulled down by the awesome weight of the flooded bow , the buoyant stern tilts up rapidly . They feel the RUSH OF ASCENT as the fantail angles up again . Everyone is clinging to benches , railings , ventilators ... anything to keep from sliding as the stern lifts . The stern goes up and up , past 45 degrees , then past sixty . People start to fall , sliding and tumbling . They skid down the deck , screaming and flailing to grab onto somehting . They wrench other people loose and pull them down as well .

She gets over just as the railing is going HORIZONTAL , and the deck VERITCAL . Jack grips her fiercely . The stern is now straight up in the air ... a rumbling black monolith standing against the stars . It hangs there like that for a long grace note , its buoyancy stable . Rose lies on the railing , looking down fifteen stories to the boiling sea at the base of the stern section . People near them , who did n't climb over , hang from the railing , their legs dangling over the long drop . They fall one by one , plummeting down the vertical face of the poop deck . Some of them bounce horribly off deck benches and ventilators . Jack and Rose lie side by side on what was the vertical face of the hull , gripping the railing , which is now horizontal . Just beneath their feet are the gold letters TITANIC emblazoned across the stern . Rose stares down terrified at the black ocean waiting below to claim them . Jack looks to his left and sees Baker Joughin , crouching on the hull , holding onto the railing . It is a surreal moment .</scene_description>

</script>
In 1996, aboard the research vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, Brock Lovett and his team search the wreck of RMS Titanic. They recover a safe they hope contains a necklace with a large diamond known as the Heart of the Ocean. Instead, they only find a drawing of a young nude woman wearing the necklace. The sketch is dated April 14, 1912, the same day the Titanic struck the iceberg that caused it to sink. Rose Dawson Calvert, the woman in the drawing, is brought aboard Keldysh. She recounts her experiences aboard Titanic. In 1912 Southampton, 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater, her wealthy fiancé Caledon "Cal" Hockley, and Rose's widowed mother, Ruth, board the Titanic. Ruth emphasizes that Rose's marriage to Cal will resolve the family's financial problems and maintain their upper-class status. Meanwhile, Jack Dawson, a poor young artist, wins a third-class Titanic ticket in a poker game. After setting sail, Rose, distraught over her loveless engagement, climbs over the stern railing, intending to jump overboard. Jack appears and coaxes her back onto the deck. The two develop a tentative friendship, but when Cal and Ruth strongly object, Rose acquiesces and discourages Jack's attention. She soon realizes she has feelings for Jack. Rose brings Jack to her state room and pays him a coin to sketch her nude, wearing only the Heart of the Ocean necklace. They later evade Cal's servant, Lovejoy, and have sex in an automobile inside the cargo hold. On the forward deck, they witness the ship's collision with an iceberg and overhear its officers and builder discussing the serious situation. Cal discovers Jack's sketch and Rose's insulting note left inside his safe, along with the necklace. When Jack and Rose return to warn the others about the collision, Cal has Lovejoy slip the necklace into Jack's pocket to frame him for theft. Jack is then confined in the master-at-arms' office. Cal then puts the necklace into his own overcoat pocket. With the ship sinking, Rose flees Cal and her mother, who has boarded a lifeboat. Rose finds and frees Jack, and they barely make it back to the boat deck. Cal and Jack urge Rose to board a lifeboat. Having arranged to save himself, Cal falsely claims he can get Jack safely off the ship. As her lifeboat is lowered, Rose, unable to abandon Jack, jumps back on board. Cal grabs Lovejoy's pistol and chases Rose and Jack into the flooding first-class dining saloon. They get away, and Cal realizes that he gave his coat, and consequently the necklace, to Rose; he later boards a lifeboat posing as a lost child's father. Jack and Rose return to the boat deck. The lifeboats have departed and the ship's stern is rising as the flooded bow sinks. As passengers fall to their deaths, Jack and Rose desperately cling to the stern rail. The upended ship breaks in half and the bow section dives downward. The remaining stern slams back onto the ocean, then upends again before it, too, sinks. In the freezing water, Jack helps Rose onto a wooden panel buoyant enough for only one person and makes her promise to survive. Rose is saved by a returning lifeboat, keeping her promise, and Jack dies of hypothermia. The RMS Carpathia rescues the survivors; Rose avoids Cal by hiding among the steerage passengers and gives her name as Rose Dawson. Still wearing Cal's overcoat, she discovers the necklace tucked inside the pocket. In the present, Rose says she later heard that Cal committed suicide after losing his fortune in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Lovett abandons his search after hearing Rose's story. Alone on the stern of Keldysh, Rose takes out the Heart of the Ocean, which has been in her possession all along, and drops it into the sea over the wreck site. While she is seemingly asleep in her bed, her photos on the dresser depict a life of freedom and adventure inspired by her early conversations with Jack. A young Rose reunites with Jack at Titanic's Grand Staircase, applauded by those who died on the ship.
