Man from Atlantis (1977–1978): Season 1, Episode 8 - Giant - full transcript



One of your family, no doubt.

A naked montague.

I must execute it.



If you wish to go, I could
stay and entertain sir Mark.



Tybalt, she has married
Romeo, the feud has ended.

I will not fight you, tybalt.

Oh, you will or I'll split
you where you stand.









Elizabeth.

This seismic probe
is now activated.

Reading check.



Computer receiving,
ready for scan.

Computer keyed in,
commencing scan.

Standing by for
necessary adjustments.



Wait a moment; I
think I have a visitor.



We have the first read out.

Looks good.



Mark, a seismograph
seems to be operational.

What does it read?

Stable, why?

Perhaps the device is
not as sensitive as claimed.

Put the cetacean on alert,
Elizabeth, I'm coming in.

Alert?

Seismic alert?



We're getting no
indication of that, are we?

No.



Activate, he's coming in.

Activated.

All our instrumentation confirms
what the seismic probe says,

that this area of the sea is
about as stable as they come.

Instrumentation cannot
pick up seismic activity

before it occurs, Elizabeth.

There will be an underwater
upheaval in a matter of moments,

what kind of upheaval?

How did you know that?

Jomo, reverse
engines full speed.

All back full, hang on.

The farther away we are
from the point of impact,

the less surge we will
have to experience.

I cannot determine the
nature of the upheaval

beforehand, Elizabeth.

One thing I know for sure,
it will be large and violent.

Then we'd better take cover.

Palmsford atoll's not far.

Lock in coordinates, please.

Thirty-two degrees starboard.

Still no sign of anything.

Elizabeth, the sea
life has taken shelter.

This part of the ocean's
usually swarming would sea life.

What's that?

We're not behind the reef.

Everyone hang on to something.

I'm getting some
activity, Dr. Merrill.

Look, the mountains.



Couldn't have been a volcano.

Where about as far
away from the ring of fire

as you can get and
still be in the pacific.

Elizabeth, you told me
of the plates of the earth.

The tectonic theory.

I don't think a plate
shift would explain this.

They would've been
preliminary activity,

months of preliminary activity.



Final figures in that
shock wave, Elizabeth,

in case you're interested.

It was felt as far
away as Perth.

- Australia?
- Australia.

They're interested in the
catbird's sea view point

to say the least.

What caused a blow up like that?

We don't know yet, c.W.

Mark's gone out
for a closer look.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, a rift has
been opened in this cliff.

Scanning.

Heat sensors, too.

Infrared, the works.

Mark, we'll give you
the layout in a minute.

It seems pretty stable,
I'm going in now.

Hold on a second.

If there is residual magma
in their, you could be

boiled alive before
you even lift a finger.

I sense no temperature increase.



Temperature won't
be a problem for him.

Stability?

Still working.



Dr. Merrell, there's movement.

Rocks, something.

Mark, you hear that?

Get out of there.



Mark!



Did he get through?

I didn't see him.

Did you?

No, 360 degree scan.

Already working.

- And?
- Nothing so far.

Nothing.

He's trapped in there.

Or under there.



Fresh bread!



Fresh bread!

I was going to
bring it to the woods.

Good for you, McKenzie.

Hoho, would that I
had been there with you.

Romeo, you spend too
much time pining away.

What do you say to that?

Lover's quarrel?



Thieves, my guess.

They've not only cracked
this poor fellow's head,

they stolen his clothes.

Fellow.

Fellow?

You're naked as a babe.

Who are you?

My name is Mark.

I must have been carried
here by the water then.

The rocks.

I must get back to the water.

To the ocean.

To the ocean?

There's no sea coast
nearer than a two-day's ride.

It is right...



The way out.

You've had a sharp
knock then, Mark.

You'd better come with us.

'Cause you need tending.

And you cannot wander
about the streets near naked.

You'd be hauled
in by the guards.

Or perhaps by some lusty wench.

I don't know which would
be the harder for a man

in your condition.

I thank you, but I
must find the way out.

Agreed.

I'll take you to friar Laurence.

He's a very learned man.

Something of an
expert in medicine.

If anybody can help
you find your way out,

he's the one.

Then let us go.

Steady.



He's trapped inside a mountain?

In a crevice on one side, yes.

He's caught in
a rock slide, c.W.

Now we have a
structural analysis of the

geological formation.

Jane.

Jane's patching through
an accelerated transmission.

Our computer to the
foundation's databanks.

There's got to be
something you can do.

We're thinking of going out.

If we can make use of the
portable dredger, maybe...

Elizabeth, you know those
dredges aren't operative

at your depth.

Well, what else are
we going to do, c.W.?

Every minute
Mark is under there,

he could be crushed or worse.

You're going to need earthmovers
and deep sea equipment.

If you're talking about
the Navy's super trawler...

No, no, no, no,
that's in the Atlantic.

It's... take too
long to get to you.

I'm talking about an
experimental submarine

dredge the Soviets
have been using.

Where?

In the caspian.

No.

If my latest information
is correct, it's less than

300 miles from where
you are right now.

I'll get right back to you.



No, no, tobacco.

- It's not far now, Mark.
- That's good.

It's just down the street here.

You know, Mark, you
are looking better already.



Ill met.

Tybalt, no friend
to any montague.

Romeo, out for a
stroll with your Jester.

What's this?

One of your family, no doubt.

A naked montague.

Very fashionable.

True, tybalt, Mark
lacks clothing,

as you lack wit.

Hold, mercutio.

Tybalt's looking for trouble.

And you'd rather
avoid it, Romeo.

Except when it comes to women.

Is that where you
found your friend?

With some woman.

I am not his relative,
nor your enemy.

I'm a stranger here,
looking to find my way home.

You're the incident,
Mark, not the cause.

And tybalt is very brave
against a man who has no sword.

Nor much of
anything else it seems.

Mother.

We have need.

Oh, yes, my lord,
loaves of fresh bread.

Not for bread, woman, this.

- What are you doing?
- Away with you, woman.

No!

Cover yourself, montague.

Well?

No.

Don't.

I insist.

We have never met,

yet you wish to quarrel with me.

What would fighting gain you?

This is not your fight, Mark.

You'll find friar
Laurence at the church.

Go now.

I have asked tybalt a question.

If you feel
dishonored, montague,

you know what to do about it.

I know what to do about it.

Mercutio, no.

Now and finally, montague.

There, there,
there he is, my lord.

He was the instigator.

- Oh, pardon, my lord.
- Not granted, Romeo montague.

Nor to you, tybalt.

Mercutio.

No harm was done, sire.

Not for want of trying.

Capulet's, montague's,
can't you stay away from

each other's throats?

Was this man
forced the trouble, sir.

Who are you, sir?

And how dare you appear in
this fashion in the public streets.

He was victimized by
thieves, my lord, escalus.

We were taking
him to medical help.

Is that the way
it was, very well.

Now you understand
me, the next episode

of brawling sends
you to the dungeon.

Captain, bring him away.

Thank you, my lord.

And I'll thank you to keep
away from my cousin, Romeo.

I speak for the capulet's.

If you don't keep your
distance from Juliet,

I'll gut you.



Yes.

Fine.

Dimitri alexievich.

(Speaking Russian)

Not a word about
my American accent.

You wouldn't do all that
well at bensonhurst, comrade.

It's not a social call, Dimitri.

I actually have a rather
substantial favor to ask you.

One of our, let's refer
to it as a unique scientific

resource is missing at sea.

Roughly 1200 meters down.

Well, I know about
your experimental

submarine dredge, Dimitri.

I also know it's located
less than 300 miles from

where we're
having our difficulty.

Good.

My clothing suits you.

Welcome to the montague colors.

I am honored.

It is I who am honored.

Master Romeo, I've been
asked to tell you... Oh.

This is my friend, Mark.

How do you do, sir?

Hello.

Louisa, is a nurse
to a lady I know.

The lady Juliet capulet,
who wishes to meet

with you, sir Romeo, discreetly.

If you wish to go, I could
stay and entertain sir Mark.

What are we to do with you?

You wait outside,
Louisa, I'll be along soon.

You did not have to
look after me, Romeo.

Point me in the
direction of this friar you

mentioned and I will be
on my way and grateful.

These are evil times, Mark.

A blood feud between
the house of montague

and the house of capulet.

I gathered that.

To make matters
worse, I am montague,

Juliet is capulet.

We love each other.

And the blood feud?

Lies between us like a poison.

An argument between
men dead for years.

But you saw tybalt.

He thinks that he can
cover himself with glory

by killing me.

Can you not to avoid him?

And not see Juliet?

Can I help?

Oh, you've listened,
that's a help.

You've stopped a fight
today, that's a greater help.

I count you as my friend, Mark.

The friar's church is around
the corner from the square.

The last thing I remember,
friar, was being in the ocean.

Which is a long way from here.

So Romeo and mercutio have said.

But I was not waylaid.

I was caught in a rock
slide under the sea.

I see.

My son, why don't
we take a little walk?

Your problem interests me.

The fountain in
the square again.

If you know something
which could be of help to me.

Some time ago a
strange thing occurred.

A great fish suddenly
found flopping

in a pool of salt water.

Seawater in the
middle of the street.

The same as myself.

There is a grotto
not far from there.

In it a man can hear
what sounds like the sea.

A grotto.

Sir, that could be my way home.

They call it the dark grotto.

It is a very ancient place.

There have been stories.

If you had been washed
out of the dark grotto,

the water might have
carried you to a place

near where you were found.

It is not a place that people
hereabouts like going to.

Where is it?

Please, I have friends who
will be worrying about me.

It lies on the eastern
side of the city.

The capulet side.

I can go there, I'm not
involved in this feud.

But true, you're not a montague.

Very well then.

Cross the square going east.

Just past Weaver's
alley, there's a small park.

Oh, he's no montague.

But he is a montague.

The naked montague
from this morning.

Grandly dressed and trespassing.

I am not a montague.

I want to get past.

To the grotto.

He has been seen with
Romeo and mercutio.

That's a double death sentence.

And now, I must execute it.



Tybalt.

What is this, cousin?



This?

A montague.

Is that an excuse to
attack an unarmed man?

And three against one?

And such a waste.

I am not a montague.

And even if you were.

And you, tybalt.

Shall I speak to my father?

Your father knows
what the montague's are.

And so do you, Juliet.

What I know and do not
know is none of your affair.

Now you're violating the
prince's order of peace.

Go, or he'll hear of this.

All right.

I'll go.

For now.

But if I find you on
capulet land again,

you will answer to this sword.

Come.

I thank you, for
Romeo has told...

Sir, not here, a
place we can talk.



C.w. On the line
for Dr. Merrill.



C.w.?

The Soviet dredges?

Dimitri alexievich
hemmed and he hawed.

And he's going to have to
discuss it with the Moscow.

Every minute Mark is out
there under those rocks...

I know, Elizabeth.

I've located a Navy
salvage vessel in your area.

It's not as close as
the Russians, maybe,

but he's coming, flank speed.

We'll try to have Mark's
location pinpointed

by the time I get here.

What, are you going out?

No, jomo is.

That's risky
and I don't like it.

Now, look I want to talk to him.

All right, here.

- Yes, sir.
- Jomo.

Best of luck.

Thank you, Mr. Crawford.

Now, sir Mark, it's so
important where and how

a gentlemen sheaths his sword.

I will not need that, thank you.

Oh, as you wish, my lord.

Fetch us some wine, Louisa.

Oh, yes, my lady.

Mark, Romeo's told
me of your troubles.

But why take more
chances by coming here

on to capulet land.

Friar Laurence has told
me of a grotto east of here.

The dark grotto, yes, I know it.

It seems it is the only
chance I have of being

with my friends.

Juliet, can you take me there?

No.

It lies behind my
father's estate.

Even were you not
dressed as a montague...

Romeo has told
me of the blood feud.

And of the hatred of your
families for one another.

Now the love between us
can only add fuel to the fire.

I wish there were a
way that I could help.

I thank you for that, Mark.

But you have your own
impossible place to get to.

But as a member
of neither family...

Tybalt thinks you're a montague.

Sampson, Gregory, everyone.

No, Mark.

If they saw you,
they'd kill you.

Your only hope is my dream.

Peace between our families.

Is there nothing I can do?

Maybe there is
something you can do.

Take a message
to friar Laurence.

Well, of course, but...

I cannot go on to montague land.

Tybalt would make
an excuse for war.

But I love Romeo.

Beyond my name, beyond
my family, beyond my life.

Maybe peace may
be made because of it.

If Romeo and I were wed,
it would unite the families.

Juliet, your father
would have a fit.

What could he do once
the wedding was done?

I will be the friar's
church in the morning.

If I have to risk
myself to wed Romeo,

then I'll take that risk.

And I will take the message.

And Romeo will be there.

I thank you, sir.

And if peace is found,

your way will be clear
to reach the dark grotto.

So we can help each other.



I can help, too.

Guiding you on to montague land.

I know all the secret ways.

You'll be safe with me.



It could take days at this rate.

We're his only
hope of getting free.



Soft, what light through
yonder window breaks?



'Tis the east and
Juliet is the sun.

Romeo, Romeo.

Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Be but sworn, my love.



Hurry up.

Time isn't standing still.

One of the novicians told
me that tybalt is seeking

his cousin, Juliet.

Then let us begin.

How shall I swear my love?

By your hand and your heart.

And dearly beloved, we
are gathered here today

in the sight of god and
man to unite these two young

people in the bonds
of holy matrimony.

Him take a drink and send...

Behold the chapel
of friar Laurence.

Holy ground.

Friar Laurence.

Father, I have sinned
and need confession.

It's almost done for.

Friar Laurence, my sin, father.

It's tybalt with his
drunken friends.

He'll try to stop
this if he can.

I will delay him.

You finish the ceremony.

No, Mark, he's a vile
and dangerous man.

I will talk to him, he
will not cause trouble.

What are you, drunk?

Let us continue.

What are you, drunk?

I gut any man or anything
that stands in my way.

The naked montague again.

Who usually hides
behind my cousin's skirts.

Where is she?

I must talk with you, tybalt.

Talk.

I have a sharp tongue.

This is church property,
not a place for violence.

Violence?

Oh, he's calling me a coward.

Sampson, give the
noble sire your sword.

I will not fight you, tybalt.

Oh, you will.

Or I'll split you
where you stand.

Not this way.

You think I wouldn't
skewer an unarmed man.

Man, no.

Montague, yes.





I now pronounce
you man and wife.



I think they're fighting, I
hear the sound of blades.

Beloved.

Yes, do what you must, husband.



Come.



If you want a quarrel, tybalt,

then bring it to me.

Willingly, montague.



Tybalt.

What is this?

A dance?

Face me like a man.



Tybalt, I'm married to Romeo.

I've just pronounced
them man and wife.

The reason for
the feud is ended.

You've dishonored my house.

Neither honor nor courage.



Romeo, Mark.

Enough!

Take him.



Well done, Mark.

Isn't that enough, cousin?

I'm not your cousin, filth.



Tybalt, she has married Romeo.

The feud has ended.

In blood it is.



Ah, stop it.

Stop it, I say!



Don't move, tybalt.

We'll fetch a surgeon.

No need.

How bad is the hurt, cousin?

Why, it is not so
deep as a well,

nor wide as a church
door, but 'Tis enough.

It will serve, it will serve.



This is an evil day.

I tried to avoid the
quarrel, my lord.

As did my friend, Mark.

Two men hurt, tybalt dead.

All in defiance of my law.

Arrest them.

No, please.

Don't argue their case, Juliet.

Pray for their souls.

Take them away.



Jomo's signaling.

Activate his microphone.

Jomo?

I think we can risk a charge.

Scan a reading.

It doesn't confirm.

It doesn't say no either.

How long has Mark been
understand here now,

Dr. Merrill?

Dr. Merrill, please.

Go.

Already am, right
up to the detonator.

On three, everybody.

Fingers crossed.



No, jomo, it's not
going to do any good.

I'm responsible.

I gave the okay, all right?

Dr. Merrill.

Come back here.

One of the dredges
ought to be here soon.

Friar.

Softly, Mark, I've
come to take you out.

And Romeo?

Romeo is already out.

He's been banished.

The prince has forbidden
him to remain in the land.

Juliet?

The poor child has been
returned to her parent's house.

She's a prisoner there,
locked in her room.

Perhaps if I
spoke to her father.

The thought does
you credit, Mark.

But they hold you,
as well as Romeo

responsible for tybalt's death.

You must save yourself, leave.

You can get me out of here?

I have a universal key.

Guard.

Come, my son.

It will be light in
about an hour.

You will need it
to find your way.

The entrance to the dark
grotto is about a half mile

past the capulet strong house.

Juliet told me, I can find it.

Yes, you better be careful.

Capulet ground is dangerous.

They seek a life in
exchange for tybalt's death.

The exit is there.

I go the other way to see Juliet

at least to comfort her.

Friar, I hope you can help
her as you have helped me.

Let us pray I can.

Godspeed, Mark.



You.



Oh, as freely I
haven't the heart.

I'm sorry for tybalt's death.

Tybalt, he brought
his death upon himself.

I'm not saddened for him here.

If not for tybalt...

You have not heard.

Juliet is dead.



Now remember, son, it is
of the utmost necessity that

you reach Romeo quickly.

He must know that Juliet
has taken the medicine

which only simulates death.

She is not in actuality dead.

Once she has been moved
to the tomb of the capulet's,

he can join her and waken her.

And no one will be the wiser.

And the two can be gone forever.

Quickly.



Why?

Her family wished to annul
her marriage to Romeo.

She could not deny her love.

It was easier to
give up her life.

Suicide?

So it seems.

I will pray for her soul.

My only prayer is that
her family never knows

what she did.



This is what she used.



The capulet's will never know.

Thank you, my son.



Dr. Merrill, I'm picking up an
object approaching the cetacean.

On monitor.



I told you, Elizabeth,
I'm all right.

I'll believe it when
I have hard facts.

But I told you what happened.

I know, I know,
Romeo and Juliet.

I didn't know you'd read it.

Read it?

Mark, you've
suffered a concussion.

Your mind was under stress,

so you retreated into a fantasy.

Romeo and Juliet,

it's a very touching tragedy.

Yes, it was tragic
with Juliet dead.

Not at first.

Friar Laurence gave
Juliet a sleeping potion

so that she could feign death.

Then he sent a messenger
to Romeo to tell him what

the truth actually was.

Well, the messenger
didn't get to Romeo in time

and Romeo thought that
Juliet really was dead.

And he rushed back and...

And what?

He killed himself, just
as she was awakening.

It's a very moving story, Mark.

Elizabeth, I need you to
analyze this immediately.



Juliet dead.



How can I comfort you?

What can I say?

I must go to her.

Where is she, mercutio?

The crypt, the capulet house.

You cannot go to
the capulet house.

I must go to her, mercutio.

I'll be your company
then, to scout the place,

to provide a diversion
if it be needed.

Well said, my friend.



Yes?

Interesting.

A complex analgesic.

What if someone
were to drink it?

Not good.

It could throw you into a
very deep coma and you'd

look as though you were dead.

Then she could still be alive.



Where are you going?

I must return to Juliet.





Where's he going?



She hasn't been
moved to the crypt yet.

Romeo, listen to me.

Prince escalus is in a rage.

Mark escaped.

Juliet dead.

If you're seen...

Then I'll be dead, too.

Yes.

I'm already dead, my friend.

Out of all mortal
danger and you are not.

- So I leave you here.
- No.



There are journeys that
a man must make alone.



Goodbye.



Yes, father.

Mark.

Prince's guards
out looking for you.

Louisa, trust me.

I must be taken
to your mistress.

Oh, what good would that do?

You're looking upon
that poor dead life.

Louisa, if good could be done...

All right, I'll take you.



There he is!



Take her.



Yah, after him.



Give me my sword.



What soft would light from
yonder window breaks?



There's no more light.

No more Juliet.

No more life.



Farewell, my beloved.



Follow him.



- Mercutio.
- Mark?

Did Romeo go to Juliet?

How do you know?

I am his friend, trust me.

I must stop him
before he kills himself.

I owe him my life, mercutio.

Please, let me repay
him by saving his.

He's at the capulet
house, hurry.

Go, I'll stand for you.



Stop him.

Who?



I'll be with you.

She's not dead, she
took a potion, a drug.

And it ended her life.

No, no, stand back.

I mean to kill myself, Mark.

Don't force me to
take you with me.

Romeo, listen to me.

Stand back.

She's dead.



As you say.



Juliet, Juliet, Juliet.

Romeo.

Juliet, Juliet.

Oh, love,

I prayed to awaken
seeing you here.



Mark, that's nonsense.

Romeo and Juliet
are fictional characters.

You had to be aware of the play.

I have never read it, c.W.

You don't remember reading it.

Obviously the shock
of being in the rock slide

sent you into a
defensive fantasy.

You sought refuge in a
romantic story, that's all.

And you chose a story
with a tragic ending.

But it was not tragic.

Romeo and Juliet are married.

The feud between the capulet's
and the montague's is over.

Whatever you want to believe.

C.w., Elizabeth examined
this at my request.

And?

Actually it's quite
an ancient artifact.

In amazingly good condition.

Dating 14th century Italian.

But you found it
underwater, that's not strange.

But 14th century
and no corrosion.

Perhaps you are right.

Perhaps it was a fantasy.

I will just return
this to the sea,

sort of a honeymoon gift.
