What do you do when a convoy or ship is going away from you?

I've seen videos and read stories about subs lying in wait along a convoy's path, then ambushing the convoy as it passes, but what are a captain's options if the convoy was heading AWAY from the sub's location? Not necessarily directly away from the sub, but shall we say "not in the sub's general direction"? Or what happens if the convoy/ship WAS heading directly away from the sub?
