[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

LOST WITHOUT WARNING?

I CAN'T BLAME MY SKIPPER,
ADMIRAL. THE OCEAN WAS CALM.

THERE WAS NO REASON
TO EXPECT A SUDDEN SQUALL
WOULD HIT US.

IF WE HADN'T BEEN
ON DECK OR FOUND
THAT LIFE RAFT,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.



YOU WERE LUCKY.
JUST WHAT WAS...

THIS PROJECT YOU WERE
WORKING ON, DR. AMES?

SOMETHING OF GREAT
SIGNIFICANCE.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF PLANKTON
IS WHAT IS REPORTED HERE.

THAT'S A PRESS RELEASE
TO COVER THE TRUE NATURE
OF MY WORK.

ONLY MISS SIMMONS AND I
KNOW THE TRUTH--

AND NOW I'D LIKE YOU
TO KNOW BECAUSE I NEED YOU.

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME RESCUE
THE MOST INCREDIBLE...

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
IN HISTORY.

ENGINEERING SECTION
REPORTS FULL COMPLEMENT.
GOOD.

HOW CLOSE ARE WE
TO A FULL CREW NOW?

FIVE MEN SHORT--
ALL ON SHORE LEAVE. NO ESSENTIAL
CREW MEMBERS MISSING.

MM-HMM. HOW SOON
CAN WE GET UNDER WAY?

ANY TIME YOU GIVE
THE ORDER.



JUST STAND BY UNTIL
THE ADMIRAL ARRIVES
WITH HIS PASSENGERS.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

LEE, WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO PUT OUT
TO SEA FOR ANOTHER FIVE DAYS.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
MUCH MORE ABOUT IT
THAN YOU DO, CHIP.

THE ADMIRAL ALERTED ME
AND SAID WE WERE GOING TO...

TAKE A COUPLE OF
SCIENTISTS OUT TO WHERE
THEY LOST THEIR SHIP.

OH, SURE. THAT STORY
THAT WAS IN ALL THE PAPERS.
MUST BE A BIG DEAL.

BIG ENOUGH FOR
THE ADMIRAL TO CHANGE
OUR SAILING ORDERS.

YOU'D BETTER SET YOUR
SPECIAL SEA DETAIL.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

THIS IS WHERE
AMES'S SHIP WAS SUNK.

WE'LL BE THERE
IN 16 HOURS.
RIGHT.

CHIP.

HERE'S OUR COURSE.

TAKE HER DOWN
TO 90 FEET
AND RUN AT FLANK.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
PREPARE TO DIVE.

PREPARE TO DIVE.

[ Man ]
CLOSE ALL MAIN BALLAST
TANK VENTS.

STAND BY TO BLOW TANKS.
BALLAST TANKS FULL.

CLOSE THE VENTS.
FLOOD NEGATIVE.

FULL DIVE ON THE PLANES.

FULL DIVE.

SECURE THE AIR.

- ALL GREEN?
- ALL GREEN.

DIVE. ALL DIVE.

90 FEET, FULL TRIM.
VERY WELL.
STEADY AS SHE GOES.

AYE.

I'M GOING TO SEE
DR. AMES.

ADMIRAL?

UM, DO YOU, UH--
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE
THAT STORY OF HIS?

WELL, DON'T YOU?

HE SAID HIS SHIP
WAS SUNK BY A SQUALL.

NOW I HAD SPARKS CONTACT THREE
SHIPS WHO WERE IN THE AREA,

AND NO ONE REPORTED
SO MUCH AS A RIPPLE.

MAN, THIS CAT MUST'VE
BROUGHT ALONG ENOUGH JUNK
FOR A WORLD CRUISE.

HURRY UP, SKI,
WILL YA?

WHY DON'T YOU
DROP 'EM, RILEY?

GOOD IDEA.

OH, NO.
GIVE ME A HAND, WILL YA?

OH, BOY.

LOOK AT THE PAPERS
THIS GUY CARRIES AROUND
WITH HIM.

YEAH. NO WONDER
I WAS BREAKING MY BACK.

I THOUGHT THIS
AMES CHARACTER
WAS A SCIENTIST.

HE SOUNDS MORE LIKE A CLOWN.
COME ON. LET'S GET
THIS GEAR STOWED, WILL YA?

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
I WANNA FINISH THIS.

IF YOU GET CAUGHT
READING HIS PRIVATE PAPERS,
YOU'LL BE FINISHED, BUDDY.

HEY, LISTEN. YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS SAYS?
HOW WOULD I KNOW? COME ON!

YOU KNOW THE DAME
HE BROUGHT ON BOARD,
HIS SECRETARY?

WELL, THIS PAPER--
[ Laughs ]

THIS PAPER SAYS
SHE'S OVER 200 YEARS OLD!

SURE, AND I'M
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.

I SWEAR, STU,
IT'S THE TRUTH. LISTEN.

"LIVING PROOF OF THE POWER
OF THE VITA SYNTHESIS."

THE WHICH?
I DON'T KNOW. SOME KIND
OF DRUG OR SOMETHING.

LISTEN.
"ALTHOUGH KARYL SIMMONS...

"HAS THE FACE, BODY
AND TISSUE TONE...

OF A HEALTHY,
20-YEAR-OLD FEMALE"--
HE CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

"SHE IS, IN REALITY,
OVER 200 YEARS OLD."

THERE IT IS.
[ Laughs ]

YOU'RE RIGHT. HE IS A COMIC.
HILARIOUS.

[ Laughs ]
"FURTHERMORE, SHE WILL RETAIN
HER PRESENT PHYSICAL STATE...

"INDEFINITELY...

"IF SHE RECEIVES A CONSTANT
SUPPLY OF THE VITA SYNTHESIS.

"HOWEVER, IF THE SUPPLY
IS DIMINISHED...

"OR CUT OFF, RAPID PHYSICAL
DETERIORATION WILL RESULT...

WITH CONSEQUENT AGING
AT AN INCREDIBLY
ACCELERATED PACE."

I DARE YOU TO TRY
AND REPORT THIS TO THE SKIPPER.

[ Laughs ]
NOT ME.

I DON'T WANNA WIND UP
IN A PSYCHO WARD.

YEAH. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
THAT LITTLE CHICK--
200 YEARS OLD.

MAN!

I'D SURE LIKE TO GET
ANOTHER LOOK AT HER.

YEAH. PERSONALLY, I ALWAYS
LIKED OLDER WOMEN.

[ Ames ]
THE SHIP'S SAFE IS HERE.

IT CONTAINS THE DETAILED
FORMULAS AND PROCESS RECORDS,

BUT THE ACTUAL SAMPLES
OF MY DISCOVERY ARE LOCATED
IN THIS COMPARTMENT.

NOW THIS SKETCH
WILL SAVE TIME.

TIME, ADMIRAL,
IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

I KNOW. I KNOW.
THIS DISCOVERY
CANNOT BE LOST.

AS I TOLD YOU, VITA SYNTHESIS
IS AN ESSENCE OF THE SEA--

A FLUID THAT ARRESTS
THE AGING PROCESS IN MAN.

IT KEEPS HIM YOUNG,
VITAL, USEFUL...

FOR 200 YEARS OR MORE,

BUT THERE'S ONE THING
I DIDN'T TELL YOU.

VITA SYNTHESIS CAN
LITERALLY RESTORE YOUTH.

THAT'S AN OLD DREAM,
DOCTOR.

PONCE DE LEÓN,
THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH--
ALL THAT.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,
ADMIRAL.

IT'S NOT A DREAM.
IT'S A REALITY.

AND THAT'S WHY WE MUST
RECOVER THOSE NOTES
AND SAMPLES.

AND IF WE CAN'T?
WE MUST.

THE WORK COULD NEVER
BE DUPLICATED.

MUCH OF THE FORMULA
WAS PREPARED BY MY COLLEAGUES,

BRILLIANT MEN WHOSE
KNOWLEDGE DIED WITH THEM.

WE'LL DO OUR BEST.
OH, UH, BY THE WAY,

YOU NEVER EXPLAINED
IN DETAIL ABOUT THAT SQUALL
THAT SANK YOUR SHIP.

THERE'S NOTHING
TO EXPLAIN.

IT CAME UP SUDDENLY.
BLEW ITSELF OUT SHORTLY.

OH, I THOUGHT IT MUST'VE
BEEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THOSE LINE SQUALLS
CAN BE PRETTY TRICKY.

[ Knocking ]

- WHO IS IT?
- BREAKFAST, MISS SIMMONS.

PUT IT BY THE DOOR
AND I'LL GET IT LATER.

BUT WE DID THAT
WITH YOUR DINNER, MISS,
AND YOU DIDN'T TOUCH IT.

AREN'T YOU HUNGRY?
I'LL TAKE IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, SKI?
SHE'S WAY OUT, ALL RIGHT,

BUT IT'S NONE
OF OUR BUSINESS.
NO?

THEN HOW COME YOU TALKED
THE MESS STEWARD INTO LETTING
US BRING THE BREAKFAST TRAY?

COME ON. COME ON, MAN.

ARE YOU HUNGRY, KARYL?

TRY TO EAT SOMETHING,
THEN GET SOME SLEEP.

SLEEP? THERE'LL BE
PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT LATER.

[ Sighs ]

I'M SORRY. AREN'T WE EVER
GONNA GET THERE?

IT'S ONLY A MATTER
OF HOURS.

EVERYTHING WILL BE
ALL RIGHT.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?
YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ADMIRAL
NELSON WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

NO!

HE MIGHT'VE REFUSED
TO RISK HIS SUBMARINE.

WE DID THE RIGHT THING.

I HOPE SO.

LEE, WE GOT A PROBLEM
AT THE SONAR STATION.
[ Beeping Rapidly ]

WE'VE GOT ONE HERE TOO.
LOOK AT THE WAY
THESE READINGS FLUCTUATE.

THAT'S THE SAME REACTION
WE'RE GETTING OVER THERE.

[ Rapid Beeping Continues ]

STAY WITH IT, CHIP.
I'M GOING FORWARD.

[ Crane ]
COME TO DEAD SLOW.

DEAD SLOW?
HOW FAR ARE WE
FROM THE WRECK?

ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR.
BUT SONAR'S BEEN
ACTING UP.

[ Nelson ] YOU SAID WE WERE
A HALF HOUR AWAY.
THAT'S NOT AMES'S SHIP.

WE'VE BEEN PASSING
THESE WRECKS FOR 10 MINUTES.

IT'S A GRAVEYARD
OF SUNKEN SHIPS.

LOOK.
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

WE'VE, UH, SEEN
SUNKEN SHIPS BEFORE.

BUT NOT SO MANY
TOGETHER...

WITHOUT EXPLANATION.

[ Roaring ]

[ Screeching ]

[ Loud Electronic Squeal ]

SKIPPER.

THE SONAR'S GOING HAYWIRE.
SOMETHING'S JAMMED
OUR RADIO GEAR.

[ Man On Speaker ]
ENGINE ROOM TO CONTROL.

MALFUNCTION ON
ELECTRONIC TACHOMETERS.
THEY'RE GOING CRAZY.

WHAT'S ALL THIS?

TOO MANY THINGS AT ONCE
FOR A COINCIDENCE--

AND ALL ELECTRONIC.

WELL, WE COULD
BE PASSING OVER
A LODESTONE DEPOSIT.

COULD BE.

[ Roaring ]

[ Man On Speaker ]
ENGINE ROOM TO CONTROL.

MALFUNCTION
HAS CORRECTED ITSELF.

SAME HERE, SKIPPER.

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,
WE PASSED BEYOND IT.

APPARENTLY.

YOU DON'T QUITE BUY
THE LODESTONE IDEA.

WELL, IT'S LOGICAL ENOUGH,
BUT THERE'S JUST ONE THING.

YEAH, YEAH. I KNOW.
LODESTONE DOESN'T
SINK SHIPS.

YOU SENT FOR ME,
ADMIRAL?
I DID.

WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO YOUR SUNKEN SHIP.

EXCELLENT. ORDER YOUR
UNDERWATER SPECIALISTS
INTO SCUBA GEAR NOW.

NO TIME TO WASTE.

THIS IS SONAR.
LARGE METAL OBJECT DEAD AHEAD.

MY SHIP. LOOK.

COME ABOUT IN
A 240-DEGREE TURN.

I WANNA COME UP
ON THE BOW QUARTER.

WHY AREN'T WE STOPPING?

CAPTAIN CRANE
IS HOLDING OFF.

HE WANTS TO KNOW,
AS I DO,

WHAT REALLY SANK YOUR SHIP.

IF I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH,
THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN DELAYS.

YOU MIGHT'VE EVEN
REFUSED TO COME.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED LATER. RIGHT NOW,

THERE'S NO TIME
TO BE WASTED GETTING
TO THE VITA SYNTHESIS.

[ Roaring ]

[ Roars ]

SKIPPER, LARGE OBJECT
APPROACHING DEAD AHEAD.

COLLISION COURSE!

FULL ASTERN.
EMERGENCY STATIONS.

ACTIVATE CRASH DOORS.
[ Man ]
AYE, SIR.

ACTIVATE FORCE SHIELD!
ACTIVATE!

DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.
NOW WE KNOW WHAT SANK THOSE
SHIPS. WHAT IS THAT THING?

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,
IT PRODUCES ELECTRICAL
SHOCK WAVES.

ENORMOUS.
DAMAGE CONTROL REPORTS
MINOR HULL DAMAGE.

OUR ELECTRICAL GEAR IS SHOT.
THE FORCE FIELD
IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL.

HOW SOON CAN WE
GET OUT OF HERE?
TWENTY MINUTES.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"GET OUT OF HERE"?
- JUST THAT, DOCTOR.

-WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO PORT
TO MAKE REPAIRS.
-NOT WITHOUT THE VITA SYNTHESIS.

WELL, IF AMES IS RIGHT, LEE.
IT MIGHT BE WORTH A TRY.

WE'RE IN NO SHAPE
FOR ANOTHER ATTACK.

CHIP, TRY TO MAKE IT
10 MINUTES.
AYE, AYE.

WITH MINOR REPAIRS,
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET BACK
WITHIN A WEEK.

A WEEK?

EVERYTHING WOULD BE RUINED.

YOU BROUGHT IT ON
YOURSELF, DOCTOR.

IT'S MY FAULT,
AND IT'S DONE.

BUT I BEG YOU, GIVE ME
AN HOUR AND THE MEN I NEED
TO GET TO THAT WRECK.

I'M SORRY, DOCTOR.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?
THE MONSTER AGAIN?

YES. IT'S BEEN
DRIVEN OFF.

THEN WE CAN GET
THE VITA SYNTHESIS?

CAPTAIN CRANE--

HE'S GIVEN ORDERS THAT
WE LEAVE IN 10 MINUTES.

YOU CAN'T LET HIM.

YOU MUST DO SOMETHING,
DO YOU HEAR? DO SOMETHING!

I WILL.
THEN DO IT.

DON'T WASTE TIME TALKING.
WE HAVE NO TIME.

BELAY THAT, RILEY.
IT'LL NEED A MAJOR
OVERHAUL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

WELL, SCRATCH
ONE SONAR UNIT.

- [ Grunts ]
- HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, MAC.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOIN' IN THERE?

[ Groans ]

SKIPPER, WE'VE GOT
THE MONITOR SCREEN
WORKING AGAIN.

GOOD.

GIVE ME
A 360-DEGREE SWEEP.

THAT THING OUT THERE
MAY DECIDE TO PAY US
ANOTHER VISIT.

[ Man On Speaker ]
ENGINE ROOM TO CONTROL.
TEMPORARY REPAIR IS COMPLETED.

WE CAN GIVE YOU
ONE-QUARTER POWER.

AFFIRMATIVE. GIVE ME
SLOW ASTERN AND RIG
FOR SILENT RUNNING.

BACK HER OFF A THOUSAND YARDS,
THEN TURN AND MAKE A RUN FOR IT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
THE MISSION'S ABORTED. WE'RE
RETURNING TO SANTA BARBARA.

WE'RE RETURNING
TO SANTA BARBARA.
THE MISSION'S ABORTED.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sobbing ]

CUT ENGINES IN 30 SECONDS,

THEN FULL AFT ON STARBOARD,
FULL AHEAD ON PORT.

I WANT AS QUICK
A TURN AS WE CAN GET.

[ Breathing Heavily ]
SKIPPER.

THIS IS MISSILE ROOM WATCH.

[ Crane ]
GO AHEAD, MISSILE ROOM.
DR. AMES WAS DOWN HERE.

HE TOOK A WET SUIT,
AND I TRIED TO STOP HIM,
BUT HE KNOCKED ME OUT.

NOW HE'S DISAPPEARED.

I'LL SEND THE RELIEF
RIGHT DOWN.

WHEN HE GETS THERE,
LAY UP TO SICK BAY.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

SKIPPER.
ALL STOP.

[ Man ]
ALL STOP.
WHO'S THAT?

AMES, OF COURSE.

I'LL SAY ONE THING.
HE'S GOT GUTS.

THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
GET A DIVING PARTY OUT.
I WANT AMES BACK ABOARD AT ONCE.

AYE, SIR.
ADMIRAL, CAN YOU COME DOWN
TO THE CONTROL ROOM?

DR. AMES IS ON THE OUTSIDE.
YES, LEE. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

[ Roaring ]

[ Roars ]

[ Roaring ]

THE MONSTER KNOWS
WHERE HE'S HIDING.

IT CAN'T GET
AT HIM THERE.
NEITHER CAN WE.

[ Crane ]
DIVING PARTY, RETURN
TO SEAVIEW AT ONCE.

HOW ARE WE GOING
TO SAVE HIM?
I DON'T KNOW.

WE CAN'T USE A TORPEDO.
THE CONCUSSION WOULD
KILL HIM.

HOW ABOUT USING
THE SEAVIEW AS BAIT...

TO DRAW THAT THING AWAY?
NOT AT OUR
REDUCED SPEED.

IT WOULD SPOT THE MOTION
AND BE ON US IN A FLASH.
THE FLYING SUB.

MISSILE ROOM, PREPARE
THE TORPEDO FOR FIRING.

AND STAND BY
FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
AYE, SIR.

CHIP, I'M GONNA TAKE
THE FLYING SUB OUT.

GET IT READY.
AYE, AYE.

[ Roaring ]

FLYING SUB CHECKED OUT
AND READY TO LAUNCH, SIR.
VERY WELL.

SHE'S ALL YOURS, SIR.

THAT WAS FAST.
YOU SAID TWO MINUTES.

GOOD LUCK.

STAND BY TO LAUNCH
FLYING SUB.

CRANE TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME?

CRANE TO SEAVIEW.
CRANE TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME?

LOUD AND CLEAR.

I'LL GET AS CLOSE TO THE THING
AS I CAN BEFORE IT SEES ME.

THEN I'LL POUR ON THE COAL
AND MAKE A CLOSE PASS.

WELL, NOT TOO CLOSE.

IN SPITE OF HIS SIZE,
HE'S VERY FAST.

[ Roars ]

ALL RIGHT. I'M AS CLOSE
AS I CAN GET.

HERE GOES.

NO GOOD. I'LL HAVE
TO MAKE ANOTHER PASS--

SLOWER AND CLOSER.

YEAH, WELL, WATCH IT.
WATCH IT.

- [ Roars ]
- [ Clattering ]

SEAVIEW TO FLYING SUB.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, LEE?

SEAVIEW TO FLYING SUB.
COME IN!

SEAVIEW TO FLYING SUB.

LEE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

SEAVIEW TO FLYING SUB!
COME IN!

UH, I'M ALL RIGHT,
ADMIRAL.

[ Admiral ]
GOOD. BUT DON'T MAKE
ANY UNNECESSARY SOUNDS.

THAT THING IS
RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU.

[ Scoffs ]
I'M NOT PLANNING
ON LEAVING.

ABOUT THE ONLY THING
LEFT WORKING IS THE RADIO.

[ Sizzling ]

ADMIRAL, THE, UH--
THE BATTERIES
ARE GENERATING GAS.

IN ANOTHER 10 MINUTES,
I WON'T BE ABLE TO BREATHE
THIS AIR.

WELL, GET INTO SCUBA GEAR.
THAT MIGHT HOLD YOU UNTIL
WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

[ Roars ]

ADMIRAL, DR. AMES IS SWIMMING
BACK TO THE SEAVIEW.

AMES?

SEND HIM TO MY LAB
AS SOON AS HE COMES ABOARD.

AYE, SIR.

WHAT IS WITH
THIS WEIRDO AMES?

FIRST, HE'S GOT
THE SKIPPER HUNG UP, AND
NOW HE'S OUT FOR A SWIM.

I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE
ABOUT IT THAN YOU DO.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING, STU.
THAT DAME'S
BEHIND IT ALL SOMEWAY.

THE DAME? HOW DO
YOU FIGURE THAT?

SHE WON'T EVEN COME
OUT OF HER CABIN.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING.

A PRETTY GIRL LIKE THAT
DOESN'T SHUT HERSELF UP IN
A DARK ROOM FOR NO GOOD REASON.

MAYBE SHE'S SHY.
OH, COME ON.

NOBODY WHO LOOKS
LIKE THAT CHICK IS SHY.

NO, NO, NO.
IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.

I'D SURE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS
NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

WELL, THAT'S, UH--
SO I CHANGED MY MIND.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS
TO THE SKIPPER,
IT'S EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS.

THE ADMIRAL WANTS
TO SEE YOU NOW.

WHAT I DID WAS
MY OWN IDEA.

I MAKE NO APOLOGIES
TO THE ADMIRAL
NOR ANYONE ELSE.

AND WHAT KIND OF
A FOOL STUNT WAS THAT?

I'VE GOT TO RESCUE THE SAMPLES
AND RECORDS FROM MY SHIP.

I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN
DECIPHER THOSE RECORDS.

WELL, THANKS TO YOU,
CRANE IS TRAPPED OUT THERE.

I'M INDISPENSABLE.
CAPTAIN CRANE IS NOT!

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
THE ATTENTION OF EVERY MAN
ON THIS SHIP...

WILL BE CONCENTRATED
ON SAVING CAPTAIN CRANE.

IS THAT CLEAR?

IT'S UNFORTUNATE, ADMIRAL,
WE DON'T SHARE THE SAME
SENSE OF VALUES.

[ Grunts ]
[ Man On Speaker ]
SIR, THE SKIPPER'S ON RADIO.

CAN YOU TAKE IT?

YES, LEE?

THESE FUMES COULD
EXPLODE ANY SECOND.

HOLD ON AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

WE'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING,
BUT IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE TIME.

LOOK, TRY BLOWING
THE DEPTH TANKS.

THE ADDED PRESSURE MAY GIVE
YOU SOME BREATHING SPACE.

[ Air Hissing ]

[ Knocking ]
[ Ames ]
KARYL.

WHY DID YOU COME?

YOU'RE TOO LATE.

NO. WE STILL HAVE TIME.

DO WE, CRANDALL?

OPEN THE DOOR.

CAN YOU STILL
SAY IT, CRANDALL?

THE VITA SYNTHESIS
WILL MAKE YOU YOUNG AGAIN.

THEN BRING IT TO ME.
BRING IT TO ME!

I WILL, KARYL.

I PROMISE. I KNOW A WAY.

IT'S A NORMAL-SIZED VARIATION
OF THE ONE THAT'S THREATENING
THE FLYING SUB.

[ Electricity Crackling ]

I LIKE THIS SIZE BETTER.
WELL, DON'T UNDERRATE
THIS ONE.

EVEN HE CAN KNOCK
A MAN UNCONSCIOUS.

LET'S HOPE HE CAN TELL US
WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW.

MR. MORTON, PREPARE
TO ACTIVATE THE PARABOLIC
REFLECTING ANTENNA.

AYE, SIR.

I INTEND TO USE THAT
AS A MIRROR...

TO REFLECT HIS OWN
ELECTRICAL DISCHARGES
BACK ON HIMSELF--

MAGNIFIED
IN INTENSITY.

- YOU THINK THAT'LL WORK, SIR?
- [ Chuckles ] IT BETTER.

PATTERSON.
YES, SIR.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY
TO DRIVE OFF THE MAN-O'-WAR
AND GET TO THE SKIPPER.

ONCE HE'S BACK ABOARD,
WE'LL FIRE THE TORPEDO,
BUT NOT BEFORE.

THE CONCUSSION
WOULD KILL HIM.
AYE, SIR.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA.

NOW DO AS I SAY,
AND PERHAPS YOU'LL STAY ALIVE.

TURN AROUND.

NOW RUN THE TORPEDO
INTO THE FIRING TUBE.

THE TORPEDO STAYS
WHERE IT IS UNTIL
THE SKIPPER'S BACK ON BOARD.

I'D ADVISE YOU TO DO
AS I SAY.

[ Whirring ]

[ Nelson ]
LEE, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DRIVE
THAT THING AWAY FROM YOU.

YOU'LL ONLY HAVE
A FEW SECONDS,
SO STAND BY.

WE'LL GET AS CLOSE
AS WE CAN.

THE ESCAPE HATCH
IS JAMMED.

NELSON, THIS IS AMES.
I'M LOCKED IN THE MISSILE ROOM.

THERE'S A TORPEDO
IN THE NUMBER-ONE TUBE.

I CAN FIRE IT,
BUT AIMING IT IS UP TO YOU.

SWITCH TO INTERCOM.

IF YOU FIRE THAT TORPEDO,
CRANE WILL BE KILLED.

I TOLD YOU ONCE,
CRANE IS EXPENDABLE.

NOW THIS IS YOUR CHOICE,
ADMIRAL:

EITHER YOU DO AS I SAY,
OR I'LL DESTROY THE SEAVIEW
AND EVERYONE IN IT.

YOU'RE BLUFFING.
YOU CAN'T DO A THING.

[ Ticking ]

I'VE OPENED THE WARHEAD
OF ANOTHER TORPEDO.

THE TIMER ON IT
IS SET AND RUNNING.

YOU HAVE EXACTLY 10 MINUTES
TO DESTROY THE MAN-O'-WAR.

AMES, LISTEN TO ME--
YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES.

SIR, I'LL GET SOME MEN,
AND WE'LL BASH IN THE DOOR
AND RUSH AMES.

YOU'LL HAVE TO USE
A TORCH ON THAT DOOR, CHIP.

IT'LL TAKE AT LEAST
HALF AN HOUR.
WE'VE ONLY GOT 10 MINUTES.

LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
RILEY!

BLOW TANKS. ALL AHEAD FULL.
EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
KOWALSKI, YOU HANDLE
THE PARABOLIC MIRROR.

RIGHT, SIR.

KEEP IT TURNED ON THAT
MAN-OF-WAR, CHIP.

IF WE MISS THIS,
WE MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE.

PATCH IN THE FLYING SUB.

LEE, DON'T BOTHER
TO ACKNOWLEDGE.
WE'RE MOVING IN.

[ Banging ]

[ Ticking Continues ]

NELSON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- NELSON!
- [ Ticking ]

[ Nelson ]
LEE, WE'RE HEADING
INTO THE MAN-OF-WAR.

GET READY TO COME OUT!

[ Roaring ]

BRACE YOURSELF!
PARABOLIC MIRROR
ZEROED IN.

[ Banging ]

HE'S GETTING THE FULL FORCE
OF HIS OWN DISCHARGE.

[ Laughs ] THAT'LL TEACH THAT
OVERSIZED STORAGE BATTERY
NOT TO FOOL AROUND WITH US.

IT WON'T WORK AGAIN, SIR.
THE ANTENNA'S BURNED OUT.

LEE, IT'S BEEN DRIVEN OFF.
NOW'S YOUR CHANCE.

[ Roaring ]

COME IN THROUGH
THE ENGINE ROOM HATCH--
NOT THE MISSILE ROOM.

AMES IS THERE,
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

LEE?

HE DOESN'T ANSWER, SIR.

[ Air Hissing ]

[ Ticking ]

YOU DISOBEYED ME, NELSON,
BUT I'M GRATEFUL.

CRANE'S IN HIS
SCUBA GEAR.

HE CAN GET TO MY SHIP
AND BRING BACK MY DISCOVERY.

- LEE, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.
- THERE'S A CHANCE
HE'LL MAKE IT.

IF HE STAYS HERE,
THERE'S NO CHANCE
FOR ANYBODY AT ALL.

ADMIRAL, THE TIMER'S SET,
AND HE'S GOT A GUN ON ME.

- I DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.
- YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

LEE--
LEAVE HIM ALONE, ADMIRAL.

IF HE GETS BACK IN TIME,
I'LL SHUT OFF THE TORPEDO.

- WE CAN'T LET LEE GO OUT THERE.
- THERE'S NO WAY TO BREAK IN
THE DOOR IN TIME.

[ Sighs ]

WHAT IF WE FIRE A GAS GRENADE
THROUGH THE VENTILATOR?

IT'D KNOCK HIM OUT,
AND WE COULD SEND A MAN
THROUGH THE VENTILATOR...

TO DISARM THE TORPEDO.
IT'S THE ONLY CHANCE
WE'VE GOT NOW.

MASTER-AT-ARMS,
THIS IS NELSON.

WELL, CAPTAIN.

LOOK!

LEE, IT'S ATTACKING.
DON'T GO OUT!

ENGINE ROOM, FULL ASTERN.
EVASIVE ACTION! EMERGENCY!

NEVER MIND WHAT NELSON'S
DOING. YOU GET TO MY SHIP
OR YOU DIE NOW.

HARD RIGHT RUDDER!
[ Man ]
AYE, SIR.

IT'S NO USE, SIR.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPEED.

BRACE YOURSELVES!

[ Banging ]

LEE! LEE, HIS BODY'S
AGAINST THE FORWARD
TORPEDO TUBES.

IF YOU CAN GET
TO THE BUTTON--

[ Explosion ]

GET AWAY FROM THAT TORPEDO!

THE TORPEDO'S DEAD.

WHAT ABOUT
THE MAN-O'-WAR?
THE TORPEDO KILLED IT.

WE TOOK QUITE A BEATING,
BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT
BACK TO PORT IF WE DON'T DELAY.

NOW GET CHANGED, LEE.

- CAN WE STILL GET TO MY SHIP?
- I SAID NO DELAY.

ITS VALUE TO THE WORLD,
TO HUMANITY--

SIR, MISS SIMMONS
WANTS TO SEE DR. AMES.

IT'S URGENT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
NOTHING!

IT'S TOO LATE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.

WHAT'S TOO LATE?

KARYL.

SHE WAS MY GUINEA PIG.

I CREATED HER,
BUT I MADE ONE MISTAKE--

I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.

KARYL!
