Marineville, I am calling
battle stations.

Anything can happen in the
next half hour.

[piano and orchestra music]



- What's wrong with X-2-Zero?

He should have answered my
call 10 million minutes ago.

- Surface Agent X-2-Zero
reporting your majesty.

I'm sorry for the delay--
- Save your excuses.

There's work to be done

All our plans for the
destruction of Stingray

have been to no avail.

- Yes your majesty.

- If we cannot
destroy the craft,

we must ruin the
efficiency of the crew.

Or better still, have
them replaced

with inexperienced aquanauts.

- A masterful scheme
your Excellency.

But, how can I get them
relieved of duty.



- Don't ask me, you fool.

I give the orders, you think
of ways to carry them out.

- Aw, why must Titan always
give me the impossible tasks.

[dramatic music]

That's the operation, Atlanta.

There's millions and
millions of gallons of oil

in that container tube.

And it needs just one
small ship to tow it.

- Oil floats on water,
everyone knows that.

But this is an old
idea surely sir.

- Maybe the idea is old,
but the material

that tube's made of is new.

That's why we can carry such
a big quantity of crude oil.

I know what you gonna ask next.

Why is Stingray on escort duty?

- That's right.

- Well the big brass are
treating this with top priority.

They wanted the best
and they got it.

Well, that concludes
the lecture.

Let's get back,

Hey!

- Sir, are you okay.

- Yeah, yeah, it's just that
I forgot the window washers

were at work today.

Kind of startled me.

- What they don't realize
is that I'm cleaning

their windows so that I
can see them more clearly.

[chuckling]

[yelling]

[loud crash]

[tug hooting]

[dramatic music]

- Stingray, from Tower.
Stingray, from Tower.

- Everything's as it
should be, Atlanta.

Routine report.

- [Atlanta] Message
received and understood.

[lighthearted music]

- Okay fella, your move.

Well, well, well.

You've let yourself in for
a whole heap of trouble.

Game.

- Save it Phones, it's time
for another ocean check.

- What again?
- Yeah again.

- Why there can't be
another ship or craft

within 10 miles of us.

[ominous music]

- This is as good a
good place as any

The oil must come this way.

It's a bold plan.

But this echo transmitter
could do the trick.

[evil chuckle ]

lt works by remote control.

[evil chuckle]

Stingray should be in
range by now.

Let's hope they're listening in.

[sonar echo beeping]

- Got something?

- Well, there's some kind of
underwater craft down there,

that's for sure.

- Can you get a fix on
his position?

- Nothing could be easier.

[tense music]

Should be in sight
any second now.

- I can't see a thing.

You must have made a
mistake Phones.

- Ah, no sign of Stingray.

So, my little scheme has worked.

[loud bang]

[evil chuckle]

I'll switch off the
echo-sounder,

it's done it's work.

- It's stopped.

- Stingray from pull vessel.

Emergency! Emergency!

We're on fire, there's
nothing we can do.

We're abandoning ship.

- Roger, proceeding at full
speed to pick up survivors.

Just look at that!

There's nothing we can do
except pick up the survivors

and head for home.

- Okay Troy, and come
back with some answers.

They better be good.

Because brother you're
gonna need 'em.

[muttering]

Okay, Okay, okay.

Let's have some order.

I said order!

That's better.

Now, to summarize, we don't
know, probably never shall

whether this disaster was an
accident or an enemy attack.

But I can't ignore the one
definite fact that this inquiry

has brought to light.

Stingray was at the time
investigating a sounding

taken by Phones.

A sounding that proved to be
completely without foundation.

- This is an inquiry Commander.

Phones isn't on trial.

There's absolutely no reason--

- Order! Order!

I appreciate your concern
Captain Tempest

I'm sure all of us in
this room share it.

But I am responsible for
the aquanauts of

the World Security Patrol.

- I'm sorry sir.

- Good.

This inquiry has
underlined once again,

that all Marineville
personnel must be 100%,

both physically and mentally.

An error of judgment must
be thoroughly investigated

and it is the decision
of this inquiry

that Phones must submit to
a full medical check-up.

Until the results are
forthcoming,

Phones will be relieved
of all duties.

[dramatic music]

[ominous music]

- Congratulations Surface Agent.

You have done well.

- Thank you your majesty.

- And make sure that Phones
fails his medical checkup.

- Oh he will, he will.

A meeting will
shortly be arranged

between Phones and
myself in this disguise.

He will be under the impression

that I am a psychiatrist
who can help him.

By the time I'm
finished wth him,

he'll be laughed out of
WASP forever.

[evil chuckle].

- Look Troy, you know
I feel as bad as you do

about this Phones business.

And I just didn't have a choice.

I know.

But Phones isn't the
type for hallucinations

or whatever you call it.

- Well there's no
other explanation.

- But there must be.

Maybe there's something
we haven't thought of.

- Look, Troy, the
matter's closed.

Course if some new evidence
was to come to light.

Naturally it would have
to be unofficial.

Good luck anyway Troy.

- You didn't have to invite me
to break the rules Commander.

I was going to anyway.

- [X-2-Zero] I look forward
to meeting you Mr. Phones.

Don't forget I rented the
house on the Island of Nimoy.

- I know it.

I just hope that if
you find anything wrong.

You'll be able to fix me
up before the check-up Doc.

- [X-2-Zero] Don't worry.

I'll fix you up alright.

- Oh hi, Troy.

- Now look, I've got a
plan that may help

to clear this whole thing up.

Keep it under your hat,
but this is the idea.

- Wow, this is great!

My first trip out to
sea in Stingray.

- Now take it easy, Fisher.

Don't touch a thing
unless I tell ya.

- [Atlanta] Okay Troy,
all clear.

- Great.

- You've got about six hours.

Good luck.

[dramatic music]

- An interesting case Mr.
Phones, most interesting.

Now, tell me, have you ever

experienced
hallucinations previously.

- Well, no.

I've had some kind of
crazy dreams

but I've never imagined
soundings before.

- Very well.

Now please to close your eyes.

Just let yourself go and
completely relax.

Now, I'm going to play
you some music.

Just to make you forget
all your troubles.

[piano and orchestral music]

- The noise is deafening,
I guess you're the Doc.

- Alright, now Mr.
Phones, now open your eyes

for a moment and tell me
your thoughts.

- Boy, have I gone crazy.

This room, it's changed.

Say what's going on?

- What are you talking about Mr.
Phones?

Surely you're not having
another hallucination are you?

- I don't know, but I
couId have sworn the room

was different before.

I don't remember it like this.

- Now, now, Mr. Phones.

Just close your eyes again.

Let's have some more music
and this time try to relax.

[piano and orchestral music]

- Can I open my eyes yet?

- Alright Mr. Phones, you
can open them.

- Gee, I'm scared.

Supposing I've had
another hallucination.

- Come along Mr. Phones, you
must face upto the truth.

Open your eyes.

- I don't believe it, I
just don't believe it.

Boy am I sick.

Why the room, it's back
like it was before.

- Alas Mr. Phones, the
room has never changed.

It's all in the mind.

Now what you need is to
go to some lonely place

and forget all about the WASPS.

- Pity I didn't know
all this earlier.

It would have saved Troy
Tempest a trip.

He's going out to that
spot to look for evidence.

- Say that again.

- Troy Tempest is taking
Stingray out to sea

looking for evidence.

- You don't say.

- You can stay aboard Fisher.
I'll go outside and search.

- Okay.

- Of course it would sure help

if we knew what we
what we looking for.

- Could I listen in to those
headphones do you think?

- How many more times
have I got to say no,

this is an unofficial trip
and you're just not used

to the equipment.

If and when you join the
crew, you touch, okay.

- Okay, sorry Captain.

[ominous music]

- Troy Tempest wll be
alone your majesty.

We can rid the seas of
Stingray forever.

- Brilliant work X-2-Zero,
you will be well rewarded.

- Your thanks are all
that I require.

- My personal guard
will meet you

and ensure the success
of your plan.

[dramatic music]

- First quarter, you got
another hal hour, captain.

- Thanks Fisher, nothing yet.

[ominous music]

- Captain Tempest, Captain!
- [Tempest] What is it?

- I'm picking up a sounding.

Some kind of
submarine and close.

- You got those headphones on?

- Well, well yeah.

- [Tempest] Well don't
sound so sorry.

If you've really found
something, I'll buy you a set.

- From the sound of it,
can't be far away.

- I'm on the way back,
open the hatches.

[tense music]

Phew, that was a close one.

- What about those two
jokers outside.

- They can't do anything,
let's worry about that sub.

- Now I wonder where those
two guards have got too?

Stingray!

- Shall I prepare the sting
missiles for launch, Captain?

- Let's wait awhile.

See if we can't find out
what it's doing down here.

- Why don't they attack
and get it over with.

Maybe this will fool them.

[sonar echo beeping]

- Got another sounding skipper.

- There's a ship right behind us.

- There can't be, we would
have heard it approaching.

Unless...

Let's trace this echo right
back and see what it is.

I've got an idea.

This could be the answer.

[dramatic music]

- Well, that's it Phones.

As from now you're back on call.

- Gee, shucks I just
don't know what to say.

It is really great of
you all what you did.

You know I got to the
stage where I thought I saw

a room spinning round.

- Room spinning round?

- Yeah, crazy ain't it.

[laughing]

- I must be crazy
working for Titan.

I ought to get my head examined.
