Marineville, I am calling
battle stations!

Anything can happen in the
next half hour.

[beeping]

- [Commander Shore] Arago Rock
Lighthouse for Marineville,

calling Frank Lincoln.

- Hello, Commander Shore.

I guess it's time, huh?

- [Commander Shore] 'Fraid so,
Frank.

Are you ready?

- Ready as I'll ever be,
Commander.

- [Commander Shore] Thanks,
Frank.

When it's done, guess
you can go home.



- Home?

[chuckles] That's a laugh.

My real home's here.

Oh, well, no sense in brooding.

About to switch off power.

[wind blustering]
[lightning cracking]

[tense music]

- And so, I dedicate the
Arago Rock Lighthouse

as a national monument

for the protection it
has given to seafarers

for over 175 years.

- Guess there ought to
be another dedication,

the lighthouse keeper.

- Yeah, 40 years operatin'
that light.

- He won't be forgotten.

Service like his is an
example to us all.

- Yes, but the lighthouse
has been his home, his life!

He'll be lost now.

- Are you suggesting the
lighthouse should continue

to operate just to
keep him happy?

- Of course not, sir.

We all know that would
be dangerous.

- Yes, in one hour,

the first aircraft will
be coming in to land

at the new airbase on
Arago Point.

- And the light would
confuse the runway approach.

- Right, I'm as sorry
about all this as you are,

but the medal that we are
to present him

will show our appreciation.

- We could throw a
party for him.

Guess he'd like that.

- Oh, that's a great idea,
Father!

He'll be the guest of honor.

- Swell, Atlanta!

Guess old Frank hasn't
been to a party in years.

He's led a tough, lonely
life with only the sea

for a companion.

[wind blustering]

[lightning cracking]

- [sighs] So long.

I'll miss you.

Your winking eye's gonna
be in the way from now on,

so you've had to be put out.

You're a national monument now.

Here comes the first aircraft.

[plane whirring]

- [Pilot] Sky Eagle 127
to Arago Tower.

Approaching you from the south.

Request landing instructions.

- [Tower Operator] 127
from Arago, Roger.

Call when joining circuit.

Runway in use, two, nine.

- Here go the landing lights.

You go out, old friend,
and they go on.

Winking for six generations,

now out forevermore.

[dramatic tense music]

- [Pilot] Arago Tower from 127.

Am I clear to join circuit?

- [Tower Operator] 127
from Arago, clear to join.

Approach on the B marker.

- [Pilot] Roger, tower!

[wind blustering]
[waves crashing]

That must be the B marker.

But it looks as if it's in
the middle of the ocean.

Still, that's what the
lady said, the B marker.

Arago Tower, I'm over
the B marker.

Turning finals.

- [Tower Operator] Roger,
127, you are clear to land.

- He's too low!

He'll hit the rocks!

Pull her up, man!

- [Pilot] 127 to Arago.

Visibility bad, cannot see
runway approach lights.

Am I in correct position?

- He's gonna crash!

[plane whirring]

[loud crashing]

[distant popping]

Marooned rocket.

That means they're gonna
launch a rescue helicopter.

I've got to find out how
that light went on again

before the next
aircraft arrives.

- The light is still on, Troy.

It caused that plane to crash.

- Have they picked up the pilot,
sir?

- Yeah, he's okay, but
why is the light on?

- Have you tried to radio
the lighthouse?

- Been trying since I got word
five minutes after the crash.

There's no answer.

- Old Frank Lincoln will take
time to reach that light.

- Yeah, that is, if he
went back to the mainland.

- Keep trying the lighthouse,
Lieutenant.

- Yes, sir.

Arago Rock from
Marineville, do you read me?

[static buzzing]

Come in, Arago Rock.

[wind blustering]

[lightning crashing loudly]

[pensive music]

Arago Rock, this is Marineville.

Are you receiving me?
Over.

[pensive music]

- What the?

- You will not turn
out the light.

- Come in Frank, can
you hear me?

Marineville calling.

No answer from the lighthouse,
sir.

- There's something strange
going on out there, Troy.

Stand by to launch Stingray.

I want that lighthouse
investigated.

[wind blustering]

- I'll bring her in as
close as I can, Troy.

- Okay, take it easy.

[lightning crashing]
[waves crashing]

Hey, Phones, that's
Frank's dingy.

- [Phones] That means
Frank must be there now.

- Yeah.

Why hasn't he switched
out the light?

[wind blustering]
[waves crashing]

Take her in, Phones.

I'm gonna find out
what's going on.

- [Phones] Good luck, Troy.

[wind blustering]
[lightning crashing]

- Steady as she goes, Phones.

Okay, I can make it now!

Right, Phones, pull clear.

Listen out in case I
need some help.

- PWOR.

[wind blustering]

- Frank!

Frank, where are you?

It's Troy Tempest!

Frank!

Frank!

Are you there?

[pensive music]

Hello, Phones?

I'm about to go up.

No sign of Frank yet.

- [Phones] [mumbles]
Keep in touch.

[pensive music]

- Frank!

Frank, where are you?

It's Troy Tempest!

Phones, I'm turning
off the light.

Still no sign of Frank.

[tense pensive music]

- Do not move, Tempest,
or you are a dead man.

Give me your wrist radio.

[wind blustering]
[waves crashing]

- Hello, Troy?

Can you hear me?

Come in, Troy.

Somethin' musta happened to him.

Marineville Tower from Stingray.

Contact with Captain
Tempest broken.

Request emergency instructions.

- The light still operating,
Phones?

- [Phones] Yes, sir.

- Then you'd better get
in there and help him.

Troy must be in trouble.

[waves crashing]
[dramatic tense music]

[wind blustering]
[mysterious tense music]

- Troy?

Where are you, Skipper?

[mysterious tense music]

- Move to the elevator.

Disobey and Tempest dies.

[lightning crashing]
[mysterious tense music]

Move to the center of the floor.

[mysterious tense music]

Stand perfectly still.

[mechanical whirring]
[mysterious tense music]

We are now beneath the
ocean's level.

[mysterious tense music]

- [Phones] Troy!

- So what kept ya?

- Oh, you're okay, Troy.

Now, what's this all about?

- You tell me.

- Secure the new prisoner,
Lorif.

- Very well, Cromer.

- We can now pronounce sentence.

- Sentence?

For what?

- You attempted to destroy us

by putting out the great light.

- What are you talking about?

- You deny that you
extinguished the light?

- No, but what has that
got to do with you?

- Without the light, we
would die within a week.

All our people would perish.

- How can a lighthouse
keep you alive?

- I will show you.

[mechanical whirring]

Observe the sea anemones on
the rocks of the ocean bed.

When the great light flashes,
the sea anemones open.

[bright music]

When it goes out, they close.

- We have harnessed the
energy that they produce.

The movement of each flower
operates a small generator.

Here, you see but a few,

but there are many
thousands around our city,

and together, they supply
sufficient power

to life and [mumbles].

- I can't believe it!

These guys have been living
beneath my lighthouse for years!

I never knew!

- Incredible!

What it really amounts
to is your lighthouse

is as important to them
as the sun is to us.

- It is obvious it was your
intention to destroy us,

so now--

- You must be destroyed.

- We've got to try to
convince these guys

we're not out to hurt them.

It's our only chance.

[dramatic tense music]

[lightning cracking loudly]

- [Atlanta] Stingray from Tower.

Hello, Marina, we want
to talk to you.

Use the code, will you?

[taps radio]
- Fine, Marina.

One tap for yes, two for no.

Now, have you heard from
Troy or Phones?

[Marina taps twice]

And the light's still working,
eh?

[Marina taps once]
Right.

Then we must turn off
the main power

to the lighthouse from here.

Atlanta, divert rescue launch
aid to the area immediately.

Marina, keep calm, help
is on its way.

- If you release us, we'll
see that the light remains on

until another source of
energy is provided for you.

- We believe you, Terrainians.

We accept your word that the
light will continue to shine.

[wind blustering]
[tense music]

The light!

It has been extinguished!

- Marineville!

Commander Shore must have
cut the power.

- So you lied, Tempest!

It was a trick to escape!

- We are doomed, but the
Terrainians will die first.

- Now hold on!

We know why the light has
failed, so we can fix it.

- But Troy, if the main
power's been cut,

there's nothing we can
do from here.

- This is another trick.

- [Troy] You've got to trust us.

It's your only hope of survival.

- He is right, Cromer.

We need the light.

We must force them to repair it.

- This man was the
lighthouse keeper.

He knows how it works,
he can fix it.

You'll do what I say, won't you,
Frank?

- Sure, sure, Troy, I get it.

- We could release the old one.

- Yes, and keep the other
two as hostages.

- Very well.

You will have 250 light
flashes to do the work.

- After that, Tempest and the
one called Phones will die.

- 250 light flashes?

Well, how long's that?

- [Troy] I figure it's
about 30 minutes our time.

- Hey, you gotta work fast,
Frank.

- You gotta work fast.

I want that lighthouse
thoroughly investigated

and Tempest, Phones, and
Lincoln found.

- [Lieutenant Fisher]
Rescue Launch 8, PWOR.

- Oh, I hope there's still time,
Father.

- There's gotta be, Atlanta.

There's just gotta be!

- You'd better not be
lying this time.

- I left the old one in
the lighthouse.

- Good.

Now we wait.

If your friend does not return,
it will cost you your lives.

- Well, this ain't
gonna be easy.

Stingray has broken
the moorings.

I have to use the boat.

[motor rumbling]

[lightning crashing loudly]

[clanking on glass]

Let me in!

Ya hear me?

Let me in!

[clanking on glass]

- 125 light flashes left,
Tempest.

- 15 minutes.

- What's keeping Frank?

He should be aboard
Stingray by now.

- Say, Troy, suppose Marina's
too scared to let Frank in?

- Yeah, hadn't thought of that.

[tense music]

[lightning crashing loudly]

- 50 light flashes to go,
Terrainians.

- Come on, Frank!
What are you doing?

[tense music]
[wind blustering]

- Answer me, ma'am!

Which is the control?

There must be 100
different controls here!

Which is it?

- Six light flashes to go,
Tempest.

- Less than 40 seconds.

Come on, Frank!

- Why don't you say something,
ma'am?

I'm trying to save
Troy and Phones!

- Three light flashes to go.

[tense music]

Two light flashes left.

- I guess Frank didn't
make it in time, Troy.

- Yeah.

[tense music]

[clicking]

- The old one has failed,
Tempest.

Are you ready, Lorif?

[tense music]

- The light, it's okay!

- Frank did it!

- You are saved, Terrainians.

You kept your word.

- We are all saved, for your
death would have been ours too.

[bright music]

[lightning crashing loudly]

- Marineville Tower from
Stingray, returning to base.

Everything under control.

Acceleration rate three, Phones.

- Rate three.

[mechanical whirring]

- The light is fading!

- Yes, the Terrainians
have tricked us.

We are doomed.

- We should not have
trusted them.

We have one week to live, Lorif,

just one short week.

[warm pensive music]

- And so, for your valiant
and unfailing devotion to duty

for over 40 years, I
present this medal

as a mark of our
appreciation and thanks.

- Gee, oh, that's great, sir.

I never expected this.

- There's more, Frank.

We've got you a job at
the tracking station.

You'll be in charge of
the signal lights.

- Oh, that's swell, Troy!

A new life's not gonna
be so bad after all.

- So all's well that ends well.

Let's have some music and
start the party.

- One thing's still buggin' me,
Troy.

Those guys under my lighthouse,

without the light, they'll die.

- Yeah, we kinda tricked them,
didn't we?

But don't worry, at this moment,

the engineers are
working on something

that'll give Prisma
light for all time.

- Yeah, but what about
the aircraft?

Won't it confuse their
approach to the airbase?

- No, Frank, we're taking the
gadget out tomorrow night,

and the aircraft
won't even see it.

It'll be under the ocean.

[tense pensive music]

[Stingray whirring]

- Approachin' the area
of Prisma, Troy.

- Okay, Phones, release
submarine beacon.

[pensive music]

[bright mysterious music]

[mechanical whirring]

- It is the Terrainian craft.

They have brought us new light!

- We are saved!

The Terrainians are good people,
Cromer.

- Yes, Lorif, men of their word.

We should never have
doubted them.
