Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 1, Episode 17 - The Last Battle - full transcript

HERE WE ARE. THANK YOU.

MAY I HAVE A GLASS OF
MILK, PLEASE? CERTAINLY.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

[German Accent] IT NEVER
CEASES TO AMAZE ME.

ONE HOUR YOU ARE FLYING OVER WIDE-OPEN
WESTERN SPACES THAT SEEM TO NEVER END,

AND THEN THE NEXT HOUR,

YOU START SEEING THE CITIES
OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD.

[Clicks Tongue] AND THEY
SEEM TO NEVER END.

EXACTLY. [Pencil
Scratching On Paper]

THIS YOUR FIRST
TRIP TO WASHINGTON?

AH, BUT OF COURSE NOT. YOU
MUST MAKE THIS TRIP SO MANY TIMES...



YOU FEEL LIKE A
COMMUTER. MM-HMM.

SOMETIMES IT DOES
FEEL LIKE THAT.

HERE WE ARE. THANK YOU.

- NO, THANKS.
- I'M SORRY, SIR.

IT'S RIGHT THERE IN MY
STEWARDESS'S MANUAL.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO
TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

- EVEN IF I'M NOT HUNGRY?
- ESPECIALLY IF
YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL
JUST HAVE COFFEE.

WE ARE STARTING OUR DESCENT.

AND SO WE ARE.

I GUESS HE WAS MORE
TIRED THAN HUNGRY.

IF EVERYONE REMAINS QUIETLY IN
THEIR SEATS, NOBODY WILL GET HURT.

THIS IS NOT A ROBBERY.

THAT'S VERY FOOLISH. SIT DOWN.



SHOULD ANYONE FEEL BRAVE...

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT
YOU GLANCE TO THE REAR,

AND I WOULD SUGGEST ALSO
THAT YOU PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELTS.

[Wind Roaring]

[Man] VOYAGE TO THE
BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[Sighs] AND THAT'S AS
MUCH AS I KNOW, CHIP.

THE ADMIRAL CAN'T JUST HAVE VANISHED.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME TRACE, SOMEWHERE.

WELL, WASHINGTON'S CHECKING
OUT EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE.

DO WE CONTINUE ON
TO NORFOLK? MM-HMM.

PENDING FURTHER ORDERS.

[Speaking German]

[TV Clicks Off]

GOOD AFTERNOON, ADMIRAL NELSON.

LET ME HELP YOU. [Chuckles]

PLEASE. ANYTHING
BUT, "WHERE AM I?"

AHA. YOU RECOGNIZE ME.

SCHRODER? COLONEL
ALFRIED SCHRODER.

STANDARTENFÜHRER
ALFRIED SCHRODER.

EVEN ON THIS FORGOTTEN EDGE OF NOWHERE,
WE MUST TRY TO OBSERVE THE AMENITIES.

YOU... YOU REALLY
ARE... ALFRIED SCHRODER!

PLEASE, ADMIRAL. NO ANGER,
NO MORAL INDIGNATION.

YOU'RE MUCH TOO WEAK FOR THAT.

YOU'VE BEEN UNDER SEDATION
FOR OVER TWO DAYS NOW,

MAKING YOUR JOURNEY HALFWAY
ACROSS THE WORLD TO HERE.

I IMAGINE YOUR COORDINATION
ISN'T ALL IT SHOULD BE.

I REMEMBER NOW.

[Panting] THE AIRPLANE.

THEN YOU MUST ALSO REMEMBER
ONE OF YOUR FELLOW PASSENGERS.

LEUTNANT DEINER.

NOW THAT HE IS CONSCIOUS,
SHALL I PUT HIM IN WITH THE OTHERS?

NEIN, CARL. ADMIRAL NELSON
IS ONE OF MY SPECIAL GUESTS.

I WILL ESCORT HIM PERSONALLY.

ONE MORE THING: THERE ARE HIGHLY
TRAINED, ARMED MEN ALL AROUND HERE.

I MERELY SAY THIS WITH THE
HOPE THAT YOU WILL DISMISS...

ALL THE WILDLY HEROIC THOUGHTS
THAT ARE RUNNING THROUGH YOUR MIND?

DANKE.

WE ARE PEOPLE OF
HABIT, AREN'T WE?

GIVE US A FEW PIECES OF GOOD TIMBER, A FEW
YARDS OF BARBED WIRE, AND WHAT DO WE DO?

WE DO WHAT WE
KNOW HOW TO DO BEST.

I TRUST YOU'VE GIVEN UP ANY
FURTHER ATTEMPTS ON MY LIFE.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY BETTER
LUCK THAN THE OTHERS ANYWAY.

I HAVE SURVIVED ATTACKING ARMIES,
THE COLLAPSE OF MY PANZER DIVISIONS,

THE BOMBINGS OF BERLIN, THE
SHELLING AND BURNING OF OUR BUNKER...

- AND A 30-YEAR MANHUNT
BY THE FREE WORLD.
- YES. AND THAT TOO.

I HAVE BEEN HUNTED LIKE
AN ANIMAL. I'VE HIDDEN IN...

THE SEWERS OF THE
WORLD, LIKE A CRIMINAL.

AND THROUGH IT ALL, I SURVIVED.

YES. YOU PEOPLE
ALWAYS SEEM TO SURVIVE.

YOU WON THE WAR, AND
YOU THINK YOU ARE HEROES.

YOU CALL YOURSELF FREE,
JUST MEN, WHILE YOU LABEL US...

WAR CRIMINALS.

WELL, THE WHOLE WORLD
LABELED YOU WAR CRIMINALS.

ALL THAT IS ANCIENT HISTORY NOW.

ALL OUR CONCERN IS HERE AND NOW!

I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR QUARTERS.

AREN'T YOU THE SLIGHTEST BIT
CURIOUS AS TO WHY I BROUGHT YOU HERE?

I'VE GOT A HUNCH I COULDN'T
STOP YOU FROM TELLING ME.

I'VE SPENT SO MANY YEARS
PLANNING AND WAITING.

WOULD YOU BEGRUDGE ME MY SMALL
PLEASURE AT THE FRUITION OF MY PLAN?

THAT NEWSREEL
FILM I WAS WATCHING.

IT WAS TAKEN IN THE
SPORTS ARENA IN BERLIN.

AT THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF OUR
FÜHRER ASSUMING ABSOLUTE POWER.

- YOU UNDERSTAND GERMAN?
- NO.

PITY. THE LANGUAGE OF POETS.

NOT ALWAYS.

THAT DAY IN THE SPORTS ARENA...

OUR FÜHRER WAS
TELLING US OF HIS PLANS...

FOR A THOUSAND-YEAR REICH.

WHICH LASTED EXACTLY 19 YEARS.

YOU DISAPPOINT ME,
ADMIRAL. I HAD EXPECTED YOU...

TO REGARD WORLD
WAR II AS IT WAS:

A MINOR ENGAGEMENT IN A BATTLE
THAT CAN ONLY EVENTUALLY END...

IN OUR VICTORY. OUR VICTORY?

THOSE LAST HOURS IN BERLIN,

THE FÜHRER DECREED THAT
I WAS TO TAKE COMMAND...

OF REBUILDING THE FOURTH
REICH ON THE ASHES OF THE THIRD.

NO, NO, NO. NO, ADMIRAL.

THIS IS NO IDLE DREAM.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING
VERY HARD THESE YEARS.

DRILLING A DEDICATED CADRE,

REBUILDING OUR STRENGTHS,
ASSEMBLING OUR FORCES... OH!

I HAVE GATHERED
GREAT MINDS HERE...

SCIENTISTS, MILITARY
GENIUSES, THEORETICIANS.

AND NOW, WE COME
TO YOU, ADMIRAL.

THE FUTURE OF THIS
PLANET LIES IN ITS OCEANS.

YOU ARE THE WORLD'S
FOREMOST MARINE SCIENTIST.

I THINK IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT
YOU SHOULD BE IN CHARGE...

OF ALL THE MARITIME PROJECTS
FOR THE FOURTH REICH.

YOU'RE AS INSANE
AS YOUR FÜHRER WAS.

YOU WILL AGREE TO JOIN US.

NOW, OR AFTER SOME PERSUASION.

NOT NOW OR LATER.

WE'LL SEE.

COME. MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO
YOUR DISTINGUISHED COMPANIONS?

GENTLEMEN, PLEASE
MEET ADMIRAL NELSON.

ADMIRAL, MAY I PRESENT
DR. GUSTAVE REINHARDT?

GUSTAVE REINHARDT?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.

I AM. WE ALL ARE!

- AT LEAST, AS GOOD AS DEAD.
- THAT ACCIDENT,
THREE YEARS AGO...

MADE HEADLINES
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

YES, SCHRODER SHOWED THEM TO ME.

IT'S NOT EVERY MAN WHO GETS
TO READ HIS OWN OBITUARIES.

[Chuckles] THEY CALLED YOU THE
WORLD'S FOREMOST PSYCHOLOGIST.

AT LEAST, NOW YOU KNOW THAT YOUR
LIFE'S WORK HAS BEEN APPRECIATED.

SO MUCH SO THAT I WENT TO THE TROUBLE
OF CRASHING AN AIRLINER TO BRING YOU HERE.

FORTUNES OF WAR, DOCTOR.

AND HERE, WE
HAVE... ANTON MIKLOS.

MY OWN PRIVATE
NUCLEAR SCIENTIST.

I ATTENDED YOUR OXFORD LECTURES ON
NEW METHODS OF EXPLODING THE NEUTRON.

MM. THAT WAS LONG AGO, BEFORE I
DISAPPEARED, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.

OH, DON'T DESPAIR.
WHEN I AM READY, THE

WORLD WILL AGAIN HEAR
A GREAT DEAL ABOUT YOU.

AND THIS IS...
BENJAMIN BREWSTER.

I KNOW MR. BREWSTER'S WORK.
PROBABLY THE WORLD'S TOP AUTHORITY...

ON ELECTRONICS UNTIL...

UNTIL HIS UNTIMELY DEATH IN
THAT NASTY SKIING ACCIDENT.

SOMEDAY I MIGHT TELL YOU WHO IS
REALLY BURIED UNDER THAT AVALANCHE.

IF I'M EVER CONVINCED THAT TOO MUCH
KNOWLEDGE IS NOT A DANGEROUS THING.

AND HERE'S A MAN WHO LAYS
NO CLAIM TO GENIUS AT ALL.

TOMAS BRANDIG IS MERELY THE WORLD'S
GREATEST ATHLETE. I READ THE SPORT PAGES.

THREE TIMES OLYMPIC
DECATHLON CHAMPION.

AND ALL IT MEANT WAS A
ONE-WAY TICKET TO HERE.

[Sighs] ONE-WAY TICKETS ONLY...

IF YOU ALL CONTINUE
TO STUBBORNLY CLING...

TO YOUR RIDICULOUSLY
OUTMODED IDEAS.

BUT THERE'LL BE ENOUGH
TIME FOR INDOCTRINATION.

I WILL LEAVE YOU NOW, TO LET YOU BECOME
BETTER ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR COMPANIONS.

[Chuckles] OH, AND YOU
MIGHT TELL ADMIRAL NELSON...

HOW IMPOSSIBLE HIS
IDEAS OF ESCAPE ARE.

GOOD DAY, GENTLEMEN.

[Door Closes]

NOW YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT
WE ALL FIRST WONDERED, EH?

WHY SCHRODER TOOK SO MUCH
TROUBLE TO DRAG US ALL HERE...

TO THIS TINY SPOT
ON NO ONE'S MAP?

CAN'T YOU SEE, ADMIRAL?

WE ARE THE NEW MASTER RACE.

WELCOME ABOARD.

THIS JUST CAME IN ON TOP
PRIORITY CIRCUIT. MORE BAD NEWS?

MORE NO NEWS.

[Sighs] HE COULDN'T HAVE JUST
VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE.

WASHINGTON HAS THEIR TOP AGENTS
ON IT. THEY'LL COME UP WITH AN ANSWER.

THEY'LL COME UP WITH NOTHING, JUST
AS THEY HAVE FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING WE CAN DO.

SOME WAY WE CAN HELP FIND HIM.

[Crumples Paper]

WE CAN'T JUST SIT AROUND HERE AND
LET HIM BREAK US DOWN ONE BY ONE.

- WHAT ELSE ARE WE TO DO?
- FIGHT BACK.

AGAINST THAT? WITH
OUR BARE HANDS?

EVEN DAVID HAD A SLING
WHEN HE TOOK ON GOLIATH.

BUT WE HAVE A WEAPON, THE
BEST WEAPON IN THE WORLD: BRAINS.

SO DOES HE.

AHH. I SEE YOU'RE GETTING
BETTER ACQUAINTED.

ADMIRAL NELSON, COULD WE
HAVE A TALK FOR A MOMENT OR TWO?

BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, HAVE
YOU MADE ANY PLANS TO ESCAPE?

GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM,

SO WE CAN GET DOWN TO SERIOUS
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE.

UH, IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD WAIT
TILL THE NEXT CHANGING GUARDS...

AND THEN STORM THE MAIN GATE.

KORPORAL WENDT IS THEN ON
DUTY, AND HE IS A TERRIBLE SHOT.

BUT OF COURSE, HE MAKES A
VERY PASSABLE SAUERBRATEN...

AND ONE DOES HAVE TO MAKE
COMPROMISES IN THIS DAY AND AGE.

DOESN'T ONE?

CARL, I THINK WE HAVE
TIME FOR A GAME OF CHESS...

WHILE THESE GENTLEMEN
PLAN THEIR LITTLE ESCAPE.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN, MEIN HERREN.

WITH THAT KIND OF CONCEIT,

YOU'D THINK THAT HE'D WON THE
WAR INSTEAD OF HAVING LOST IT.

IT'S NOT JUST CONCEIT. THE
PRUSSIAN MILITARY MIND...

IS A MARVELOUSLY...
PRECISE MECHANISM.

TOUGH. UNYIELDING.

INSTINCTIVELY BRUTAL.

HIGHLY COMPLEX AND
YET AT THE SAME TIME,

ALMOST COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE.

UNDERNEATH ALL THIS BRAVADO,

HERR SCHRODER'S QUITE TENSE NOW.

I'D SAY HE'S CLOSE TO MAKING THIS MASTER
MOVE HE'S BEEN PLANNING ALL THESE YEARS.

THAT'S A MASTERLY ANALYSIS.

IN MY OFFICE, I'D MAKE $60
AN HOUR FOR LESS THAN THAT.

IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE, SOMETHING
MUST HAVE HAPPENED RECENTLY...

- TO COMPLETE HIS PLANS.
- YOU HAVE HAPPENED, ADMIRAL.

YOUR CAPTURE MAKES
EVERYTHING COMPLETE.

WITH YOU, HE INTENDS TO
CONTROL THE OCEANS OF THE WORLD.

WITH ME, NUCLEAR POWER.

WITH BREWSTER, CONVENTIONAL
POWER AND COMMUNICATIONS.

AND WITH TOMAS HERE, HE PLANS
FASHIONING A NEW BREED OF SUPERMEN.

THROUGH ME, HE PLANS TO CONTROL
THEIR MINDS. THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME...

SIX YEARS AGO, WHEN
HE FIRST IMPRISONED ME.

ALL HE NEEDS IS A NUCLEUS
FOR THE MASTER RACE.

THEN HE CAN STRIKE
AND WIN EASILY.

GETTING US ALL
HERE IS ONE THING.

GETTING US ALL TO WORK
ON HIS SIDE IS QUITE ANOTHER.

HE'LL GET US ALL TO JOIN HIM.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT.

WHEN HERR SCHRODER
SETS HIS MIND TO IT,

HE'LL BREAK US, ONE BY ONE.

HE USED TO BE QUITE EXPERT
AT THAT IN THE OLD DAYS.

THAT'S ALL THE MORE
REASON TO ACT, RIGHT NOW.

IF I COULD JUST GET MY HANDS
AROUND SCHRODER'S NECK.

THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH PRECISELY
NOTHING, BECAUSE THEN DEINER...

OR ONE OF THE OTHERS WOULD
SIMPLY... STEP INTO HIS PLACE.

BREWSTER'S RIGHT.

IT'S THE IDEA THAT HAS TO BE
DESTROYED, NOT JUST THE MAN.

- AND WE CAN'T DO THAT HERE.
- ESCAPE IS IMPOSSIBLE.

EVEN IF WE GET AWAY FROM
THE CAMP, WHERE CAN WE GO?

I'VE CHECKED OUR POSITIONS
WITH BOTH THE SUN AND THE STARS.

THIS ISLAND IS THOUSANDS
OF MILES FROM THE

REMOTEST SHIPPING LANES,
LET ALONE CIVILIZATION.

WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO
ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD.

IF WE CAN'T ESCAPE
TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD,

WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE
OUTSIDE WORLD RIGHT HERE.

NOW...

AH, WHAT WE NEED
IS ANOTHER BULB.

THIS IS THE LAST OF THEM, EXCEPT
FOR THE LIGHT YOU'RE WORKING BY.

WELL, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK,
IT SHOULD BE JUST ABOUT ENOUGH.

HAMMER, PLEASE. MM.

WE CAN REALLY SEND OUT
SHORTWAVE RADIO SIGNALS WITH THAT?

IN THEORY, YES.

[Taps] THANK YOU.

NOW.

SOMEONE IS COMING!

IT'S TOMAS.

I GOT IT. NOBODY SAW ME.
FROM THE ELECTRIC FENCE?

NO. I FOUND SOME WRAPPED
AROUND ONE OF THE TOWER POSTS.

YOUR HANDS. I DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO CUT THE WIRE.

HAD TO PULL IT
LOOSE. DR. REINHARDT.

HERE. ATTACH THIS.

TO THE LIGHT SOCKET. THERE.

NOW THAT SHOULD JUST
ABOUT DO IT. INDEED IT SHOULD.

UH, ONE...

NOW. IF WE COULD JUST FIND
SOMETHING TO ACT AS A SENDING KEY...

[Grunts]

HOW ABOUT THAT? HUH?

FINE! THAT'S JUST WHAT
THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

[Transmitter Whining]
[Sighing, Chuckling]

WE'RE A WHOLE
BLOOMING RADIO STATION.

NOW IF I CAN JUST
REACH THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

ADMIRAL? BE MY GUEST.

[Sighs Deeply]

[Clicking In Morse Code]

STILL NOTHING, CAPTAIN.

NOT EVEN A WRONG
NUMBER. KEEP AT IT.

CAPTAIN, WHEN YOU ASKED
ME ABOUT SHORTWAVE,

I SAID A SIGNAL COULD
CARRY AROUND THE WORLD.

- BUT THAT'S THEORY.
- OH, I KNOW.

BUT ALL WE CAN
DO IS STAY WITH IT.

MONITOR THE INTERNATIONAL WAVELENGTHS,
AS WELL AS OUR OWN EMERGENCY BAND.

AND THE LOW-FREQUENCY
BANDS. YES, SIR.

[Morse Code Tapping]

IT'S ALMOST DAWN.

WELL, I CAN KEEP SENDING
FOR A FEW MINUTES YET.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF ANYONE CAN HEAR US.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE
TO KEEP ON TRYING.

EVERY NIGHT. AS LONG AS WE CAN.

CAPTAIN CRANE!

CRANE HERE. CAPTAIN, I THINK
I'M PICKING SOMETHING UP.

IT'S A C.W. SIGNAL THAT
SOUNDS LIKE OUR CODE.

PUT IT ON THE AMPLIFIER.

[Rhythmic Beeping]

[Continues Beeping]

- IT'S ADMIRAL NELSON!
- MR. MORTON.

ON THE DOUBLE! GET US A FIX
ON THE RADIO DIRECTION FINDER.

THE ADMIRAL'S ALIVE, [Sighs]

AND HE'S SENDING OUT A ROAD MAP
LOUD AND CLEAR. [Beeping Continues]

NOW HERE'S OUR DESTINATION. IT'S NOT
TOO FAR AWAY, SO LET'S GET MOVING FAST.

SPARKS, SEND A REPLY, JUST IN
CASE HE'S GOT A RECEIVER TOO.

"MESSAGE RECEIVED,
LOUD AND CLEAR.

THE CAVALRY IS
ON ITS WAY. CRANE."

[Clicking]

THE SEAVIEW HAS RECEIVED
NELSON'S MESSAGE.

THEY ARE COMING FULL SPEED.

TO THE RESCUE!

[Speaking German]

[Sonar Pinging] MM.

IT'S STILL MORE THAN A DAY AWAY.

BUT WE'RE MOVING AT FULL
SPEED. WELL, IT'S NOT FAST ENOUGH.

SEE IF THE ENGINE ROOM CREW
HAS A TRICK OR TWO UP THEIR SLEEVE.

[Knocking At Door] [German]

- [German]
- [German]

JAWOHL.

ADMIRAL NELSON.

FIRST, LET ME COMPLIMENT
YOU ON BEING SO RESOURCEFUL.

I HAD ALLOWED YOU THREE DAYS
TO BUILD YOUR SHORTWAVE RADIO,

AND YOU DID IT IN
ONE SINGLE DAY.

WHICH PUTS US MORE THAN
TWO DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

YOU SEE, CARL, NEVER
UNDERESTIMATE...

SCIENTIFIC INGENUITY.

YOU, UM... YOU KNEW ABOUT
THE RADIO ALL THE TIME?

I DIDN'T ONLY KNOW ABOUT
IT. I HAD PLANNED ON IT.

YOU SEE, ADMIRAL,

YOU ARE JUST A SMALL
PAWN ON THE CHESSBOARD.

OR PERHAPS A MORE APT DESCRIPTION
OF YOUR ROLE IN MY PLANS...

WOULD BE... BAIT.

BAIT? EXACTLY.

THANKS TO YOUR NOBLE EFFORTS,

THE SEAVIEW IS COMING
HERE, AT FULL SPEED.

STRAIGHT INTO THE VERY SPECIAL
WELCOME WE HAVE PREPARED FOR IT.

[Laughing] NOT A CHANCE.

THE SEAVIEW'S NOT
WITHIN 10,000 MILES OF HERE.

WISHFUL THINKING, ADMIRAL.

IF YOU HAD BUILT A RECEIVING
SET AS WELL AS A SENDING SET,

YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN
THIS REPLY... [Unfolding Paper]

FROM YOUR CAPTAIN CRANE.

YOU SEE? EVERYTHING IS
GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN.

THAT WOULD BE VERY
FOOLISH, ADMIRAL.

YES. IT WOULD BE.

ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU
HAVE SERVED YOUR PURPOSE,

AND WE REALLY HAVE NO LONGER
MUCH REASON TO KEEP YOU ALIVE.

NOW. AS YOU'VE BEEN
SO VERY HELPFUL,

I THINK IT ONLY
FITTING TO TELL YOU...

HOW THE SEAVIEW IS GOING
TO SERVE THE FOURTH REICH.

AFTER WE CAPTURE THE VESSEL, WE
WILL PLACE OUR OWN CREW ABOARD.

AND WE WILL SAIL... TO HERE.

DON'T YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
OF... PARTICULAR INTEREST...

ABOUT THE SPOT I'M POINTING TO?

IT SEEMS EQUIDISTANT TO
WASHINGTON OR MOSCOW.

AND WITH BOTH CITIES WELL WITHIN
THE RANGE OF THE NUCLEAR MISSILES...

CARRIED ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.

NOW, TELL ME, ADMIRAL. WHAT
DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN...

AFTER WE FIRE TWO
MISSILES, SIMULTANEOUSLY...

ONE AT WASHINGTON,

AND ONE AT MOSCOW.

[Sighs]

[Laughs] RIGHT AGAIN.

THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA
WOULD IMMEDIATELY RETALIATE...

WITH ALL THE POWER
AT THEIR COMMAND.

HOLOCAUST. AWFUL
NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST.

SUCH AS THE WORLD
HAS NEVER SEEN.

EVEN SOMETHING LIKE
YOU COULDN'T WANT THAT.

NO ONE COULD GAIN FROM
THAT KIND OF DESTRUCTION.

WRONG.

VERY WRONG.

A WHOLE WORLD IS TO BE GAINED.

WE WILL TRIGGER IT.

THEN SIT BACK...

WHILE ALL THE MAJOR POWERS OF
THE WORLD DESTROY EACH OTHER.

AND WHEN EVERYTHING IS ASHES,

WE WILL STRIKE OUT
FROM THIS ISLAND.

AND ON THOSE ASHES
BUILD THE FOURTH REICH...

A REICH TRULY DESTINED...

TO LAST 1,000 YEARS.

YOU CAN'T DO IT, SCHRODER! YOU'D
BE DESTROYING MILLIONS OF LIVES.

YOUR LESSON IN POLITICAL
SCIENCE IS OVER, ADMIRAL.

NOW THAT THE SEAVIEW IS GOING
TO BE HERE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS,

I HAVE A GREAT
DEAL OF WORK TO DO.

[Speaking German]

BUT YOU MUST HAVE SOME
FEELING, SOME-SOME EMOTIONS.

DO YOU WALK, OR DO
WE HAVE TO DRAG YOU?

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A SHORTWAVE
RADIO HIDDEN IN THIS HUT.

[Chuckles] NOW, GENTLEMEN,

YOU KNOW THAT IS
CONTRARY TO ALL CAMP RULES.

GIVE IT TO THEM. THEY
KNOW ALL ABOUT IT ANYWAY.

[Miklos Sighs]

FASCINATING. INGENIOUS!

BUILDING ONE RADIO FROM
NOTHING IS QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT.

BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO
HAVE TO STOP RIGHT THERE.

YOU GENTLEMEN WILL JUST
HAVE TO REST ON YOUR... LAURELS.

[Door Closes] WELL,
WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

NELSON GOES TO HEADQUARTERS
FOR A QUIET LITTLE TÊTE-À-TÊTE.

DEINER COMES RIGHT BACK
HERE AND CONFISCATES OUR RADIO.

[Sighs] I TOLD YOU.

- THEY KNEW ALL ABOUT THE RADIO.
- OH, REALLY?

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EXTRA FOOD THAT
SCHRODER ALWAYS GIVES TO PRISONERS...

WITH WHOM HE'S
PARTICULARLY PLEASED, HMM?

GENTLEMEN, GENTLEMEN!
WELL, IT HAD TO BE HIM.

- HOW ELSE COULD THEY KNOW?
- WHAT WOULD BE
THE SENSE OF THAT?

I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD YOU MAKE IT.
WHY WOULD I TELL SCHRODER ABOUT IT?

DIVIDE AND CONQUER. DIVIDE SOME
MORE AND CONQUER SOME MORE.

HOW DID THE SCHRODERS OF
THIS WORLD BECOME SO GOOD AT IT?

I'M SORRY. I KNOW YOU'RE
UPSET ABOUT THE RADIO.

[Sighing] I SHOULDN'T HAVE
TAKEN OFFENSE SO EASILY.

NO, YOU HAD EVERY RIGHT.
I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG.

I... I'M SORRY. I APOLOGIZE.

ALL RIGHT. NOW THAT THE
DISSENSION IN THE RANKS IS SETTLED,

WHAT'LL WE DO ABOUT THE ENEMY?

WELL, THE ENEMY SEEMS TO HAVE
THE SITUATION TOO WELL IN HAND.

EVEN THESE... THESE
WALLS MAY HAVE EARS.

[Grunts]

SCHRODER HAD ME BROUGHT TO HIS
OFFICE SO HE COULD DO A LITTLE CROWING.

BUT WHAT HE REALLY
WANTED WAS THE SEAVIEW.

AND HE HAD TO TELL ME HOW
WE'D PLAYED RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS.

[Engine Chugging]

THE ENGINE ROOM WAS JUST ON
THE INTERCOM. NO POWER SYSTEM...

IS SUPPOSED TO BE RUN
THIS LONG AT FULL SPEED.

THE REACTOR'S GETTING
HEATED. HOW BAD IS IT?

RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST
GIVING OUT WARNING SIGNALS.

BUT IF WE KEEP ON
RUNNING AT FULL SPEED...

[Sighs] THERE HASN'T BEEN
ANY MORE RADIO SIGNALS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO THE ADMIRAL ON THE ISLAND.

WE HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED FOR THE NEXT FIVE OR SIX HOURS.

OKAY. YOU'RE THE SKIPPER.

ENGINE ROOM, THIS IS THE BRIDGE. WE
NEED AT LEAST SIX MORE HOURS AT FULL SPEED.

[Man On Speaker] BUT, MR. MORTON,
THIS REACTOR'S GETTING HOT.

SO, IT'S GETTING HOT. THE
CAPTAIN SAYS FULL SPEED.

WELL, THAT'S IT. HE INTENDS TO
SET FIRE TO MOST OF THE WORLD,

SO HE CAN RULE OVER
WHAT LITTLE OF IT IS LEFT.

AH, EVEN SCHRODER.
CAN HE DO THIS?

THEN WE MUST STOP HIM. BUT WHAT
WE MUST DO AND WHAT WE CAN DO...

ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT
THINGS, AREN'T THEY?

WE CAN AT LEAST TRY. WE DID
TRY. SCHRODER TOYED WITH US...

FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN TOLD
DEINER TO STEP DOWN HEAVILY.

IT'S HOPELESS, I TELL YOU. THAT
MAY BE, BUT MIKLOS IS RIGHT.

WE GOTTA MAKE THE ATTEMPT.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TRY.

YOU ONCE SAID THE PRUSSIAN MIND
IS ALMOST ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE.

NOW IS THERE ANY WAY OF FIGURING
OUT WHAT SCHRODER MIGHT BE THINKING?

- WHAT HE EXPECTS US
TO DO NEXT?
- VERY INTERESTING.

THEN WHILE HE'S ONE STEP BEHIND,
PLANNING ON A COUNTERMOVE,

WE COULD BE EXECUTING
A COUNTER-COUNTERMOVE.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE RADIO
DESTROYING ALL OUR HOPES FOR RESCUE,

HE'D THEN EXPECT US TO, UH,
FIGHT AMONGST OURSELVES.

YES, WELL, UM, WE'VE
DONE THAT, HAVEN'T WE?

THEN, HE'D EXPECT US TO
COMPLETELY CHANGE DIRECTION.

DO SOMETHING BOLD AND
DARING. UTTERLY FOOLHARDY.

SOMETHING FOOLISH, LIKE... LIKE STORMING
THE MAIN GATE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WELL, THEN WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT.
WE DON'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT HIM.

AND WHILE SOME OF US ARE
DIVERTING ATTENTION WITH THAT,

THE REST OF US WILL BE
EXECUTING OUR REAL PLAN.

YES, IF THERE IS A REAL PLAN.

THERE WILL BE, AS SOON AS WE
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE AND WHEN...

HE INTENDS TO SPRING
HIS TRAP ON THE SEAVIEW.

ANYBODY NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL
CONSTRUCTION RECENTLY?

YEAH, THEY... THEY
CLEARED THE CHANNEL OUT.

SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND,
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.

THEY'D HAVE TO DO THAT ANYWAY,
TO FREIGHT IN THEIR SUPPLIES.

NO. THE SUPPLY BOATS DOCK AT THE
LAGOON, ON THIS SIDE OF THE ISLAND.

THERE MIGHT BE
SOMETHING TO THAT CHANNEL.

THEY HAD ME INSTALLING SPECIAL
WIRING THERE ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO.

WELL, THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FIND
OUT WHAT THAT WIRING SETS IN MOTION.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEND SOMEONE
OUT THERE TO TAKE A LOOK.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THE GUARDS WOULD SHOOT ANY
PRISONER OUTSIDE THE WALLS ON SIGHT.

THE LAST TIME SOMEONE
WENT PAST THE FENCE...

SCHRODER HAD HIM TORTURED FOR
FOUR DAYS AS A LESSON TO THE REST OF US.

AND THEN, WHEN SCHRODER GOT TIRED
OF HIS ROLE AS TEACHER, HE HAD HIM KILLED.

I'LL GO.

THERE'S A PLACE BEHIND THE NEXT
HUT WHERE I CAN GET UNDER THE FENCE.

I CHECKED IT OUT. IT'S A BLIND SPOT.
THE TOWER GUARDS CAN'T SEE IT.

HOW ABOUT YOUR HANDS? I'LL GO UNDER
THE FENCE. I WON'T TOUCH THE BARBED WIRE.

THINK YOU CAN FIND THAT CHANNEL?

I KNOW THAT SIDE OF
THE ISLAND. THEY HAD ME

OUT THERE CUTTING SOME
TIMBER A FEW MONTHS AGO.

I'LL FIND THE CHANNEL. GOOD.

- WHEN DO YOU WANT ME TO GO?
- TONIGHT, AS SOON AS IT'S DARK.

AND BE CAREFUL.

WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN
TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST ATHLETE.

- [Alarm Bell Ringing]
- [Machine Gun Firing]

[German] GOOD. VERY GOOD.

IT'S EASY TO SEE NOW HOW YOU WON
ALL THOSE MARVELOUS OLYMPIC MEDALS.

OH, DON'T WORRY. AFTER
WE'VE CARRIED OUT OUR PLANS,

WE WILL AGAIN HOLD
THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

AND YOU MAY COMMAND
THEM, FOR THE FOURTH REICH.

THANKS, I'D LIKE THAT.
HEY, LISTEN, ABOUT THE, UH...

[Chuckles] THE GUARD. YES. IT'S
UNFORTUNATE, BUT NECESSARY.

DON'T LET IT CONCERN YOU.

NOW, TELL ME. WHAT DO THOSE
GREAT MINDS IN THE HUT THINK...

THEY ARE GOING TO PUT OVER
ON COLONEL ALFRIED SCHRODER?

NELSON'S FORMING A
PLAN WITH TWO STEPS. THE

FIRST STEP IS DIVERSIONARY.
RUSH THE GATE.

THE CHANNEL SEEMS
TO END ABOUT HERE.

THERE'S A HUT ON A RISE
ABOVE THE CHANNEL. I

FOLLOWED SOME OF THE
WIRES AS CLOSE AS I COULD.

BUT I WAS AFRAID
THERE'D BE A GUARD POST,

SO I DIDN'T GET CLOSER
THAN ABOUT 50 FEET OR SO.

I'VE BEEN INSIDE
SCHRODER'S RADIO ROOM.

HE HAS ENOUGH EQUIPMENT TO
CONTROL ANYTHING ON THIS ISLAND.

BREWSTER'S RIGHT.

THE CONTROLS ARE THE
KEY, AND SCHRODER WOULD

HAVE THOSE RIGHT IN HIS
HEADQUARTERS BUILDING.

NOW, THINK HARD. THIS, UH...

HAS THERE BEEN ANYTHING BROUGHT
TO THIS ISLAND... SO STRANGE THAT...

YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT THAT
SCHRODER HAD GONE OFF THE DEEP END?

THE NETS!

MONTHS AGO,

I-I WAS ON A WORK CREW,
UNLOADING SUPPLIES.

AND THE CARGO WAS
HUGE STEEL NETS.

- SUBMARINE NETS.
- I WAS WONDERING WHAT KIND
OF FISHING...

SCHRODER WAS GOING
TO USE THEM FOR.

CONTROLS ARE THE KEY. WE'VE
GOT TO KNOCK THEM OUT OF ACTION...

BEFORE HE CAN CLOSE THOSE
SUBMARINE NETS OVER THE SEAVIEW.

NELSON, I THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

WE CAN'T JUST WALK OUT AND TEAR APART
THE HEADQUARTERS WITH OUR BARE HANDS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO TEAR IT
APART. WE'RE GONNA BLOW IT APART.

MIKLOS, YOU'RE OUR
EXPERT IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

WHAT DO WE NEED
TO MAKE EXPLOSIVES?

[Chuckles] WELL, IF YOU ASK ME
ABOUT ADVANCED NUCLEAR FISSION,

I COULD PROBABLY GIVE YOU
SOME KIND OF AN ANSWER.

BUT A PLAIN LITTLE
BOMB? IT'S TOO SIMPLE.

I'VE NEVER... GIVEN
IT ANY THOUGHT.

WELL, IT'S ALL EXPLODING ENERGY.
THE BASIC PRINCIPLE MUST BE THE SAME.

TO A LARGE DEGREE.

FIRST, WE'LL NEED SOME
KIND OF A COVERING OR SHELL...

TO CONTAIN THE ENERGY AND THEN
RELEASE IT ALL IN ONE EXPLOSIVE BURST.

HOW ABOUT DRIED MUD? CLAY? YES.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THEN WE'LL
NEED SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL CHARGE.

SOMETHING TO DETONATE IT. OH,
DON'T YOU WORRY. I'LL GET YOU A SPARK.

AS FOR THE EXPLOSIVE
ITSELF, WE'LL NEED A BASE...

OF AMMONIUM NITRATE
OR SODIUM NITRATE.

AND HOW MUCH FORCE WOULD
THIS EXPLOSIVE RELEASE?

[Inhales] THE EXPLOSIVE FORCE WILL BE
MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR YOUR NEEDS.

FINE. REINHARDT,
YOU GET SOME MUD.

BREWSTER, START WORKING
ON THE DETONATORS.

THE SEAVIEW HAS STOPPED.

HOW FAR AWAY? NOT
MORE THAN HALF A MILE.

MM-HMM. CAPTAIN
CRANE IS A GOOD OFFICER.

AS EVERY GOOD OFFICER
KNOWS, HE HAS TO

FIRST CAREFULLY
RECONNOITER UNKNOWN TERRAIN.

HE WILL SEND OUT SKIN DIVERS,
WHO WILL SCOUT THE ISLAND,

AND THEY WILL REPORT THAT THE LAGOON
APPROACH IS MUCH TOO HEAVILY FORTIFIED.

THEN, OF COURSE, HE WILL COME
IN ON THE ONLY OTHER APPROACH,

THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND.

AND INTO THE CHANNEL. YES.

WE WENT TO SO MUCH TROUBLE
BUILDING IT, IT SEEMS ONLY RIGHT...

THAT CAPTAIN
CRANE SHOULD USE IT.

[Beeping]

THE ONLY OTHER APPROACH WOULD BE
HERE, ALONG THE SOUTH END OF THE ISLAND.

- CHIP, ARE YOU SURE
ABOUT THE LAGOON?
- IT'S TOO SHALLOW FOR US.

WITHOUT LOOKING HARD, I COUNTED FOUR
GUN EMPLACEMENTS ON THE CLIFFS ABOVE IT.

THEY'VE GOT EVERY INCH
OF THAT LAGOON ZEROED

IN, JUST WAITING FOR
UNEXPECTED CALLERS LIKE US.

- WE COULD BLAST OUR WAY IN.
- NO, NO.

THE ADMIRAL WOULDN'T
STAND A CHANCE.

WE'D BETTER SLIP IN QUIETLY.

NOW, THE REEFS BLOCK
US EAST AND WEST.

OKAY. I GUESS THAT JUST LEAVES
THE SOUTH SIDE APPROACH. THAT'S IT.

THERE YOU ARE, ADMIRAL.
YOUR OWN PRIVATE ARSENAL.

NOBEL HIMSELF COULDN'T HAVE
MADE BETTER EXPLOSIVES FOR YOU.

WELL, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE THAT
THEY GET VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY.

EVERYTHING'S QUIET
OUT THERE. SCHRODER IS

NOWHERE AROUND, NO
LIGHTS ON IN HIS QUARTERS.

NOW, I'D GUESS THAT THE SEAVIEW
WILL MOVE IN JUST AS DAWN BREAKS.

WE'LL HAVE TO ACT RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S RIGHT. EVERYBODY GOT A BOMB?

YEAH. OKAY, ONE LAST CHECK.
AFTER ALL, WE'RE GOING INTO BATTLE.

OKAY. BREWSTER. YOU AND
MIKLOS AND REINHARDT...

WILL HAVE TO CREATE AS MUCH
DIVERSION OUT FRONT AS YOU CAN.

ENOUGH SO TOMAS AND I
CAN GET PAST THE FENCE...

AND CIRCLE AROUND BEHIND
THE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING.

I USED TO BE A PRETTY GOOD
BOWLER AT CRICKET. IF I COULD JUST...

LOB ONE OF THESE THROUGH
THEIR MUNITION HUT WINDOW...

IT WOULD MAKE A VERY
PRETTY PICTURE INDEED.

ONE OF US HAS GOT A GOOD CHANCE
OF GETTING THROUGH. WHOEVER DOES...

BLOWS THAT HEADQUARTERS
BUILDING APART.

RIGHT. GOOD LUCK.

THERE. THAT'S THE SPOT THE
TOWER GUARDS CAN'T COVER.

GOOD. WE'LL WAIT FOR THE DIVERSIONARY
FIREWORKS. SHOULD BE ANY SECOND NOW.

I'M AFRAID YOU'RE MISTAKEN
ONCE AGAIN, ADMIRAL.

AT THIS MOMENT, YOUR VERY CLEVER COMPANIONS
ARE BEING ROUNDED UP IN THE COMPOUND.

[Nelson] QUICK! OVER
THE FENCE. MAY I, PLEASE?

THANK YOU. I MUST
COMPLIMENT YOU ONCE MORE...

ON YOUR, UH, INGENUITY.

WHAT A VERY NICE LITTLE BOMB.

TOO BAD IT WILL NOT EXPLODE.

BECAUSE A TRAITOR SABOTAGED IT.

DON'T BE TOO HARSH ON TOMAS.

HE IS NOT AS INTELLECTUALLY
SECURE AS YOU AND THE OTHERS.

THEREFORE, HE COULD NOT
WITHSTAND ONE OF MY PERSUASIONS.

AND THEREFORE, HE HAS JOINED
THE WINNING SIDE THAT MUCH SOONER.

AND BESIDES, SABOTAGE,
INFILTRATION, TRAITORS...

THEY'RE ALL PERFECTLY
ACCEPTABLE WEAPONS OF WAR.

AREN'T THEY? YES.

YES, I GUESS ONE
HAS TO EXPECT THAT...

DEALING WITH SOMETHING LIKE YOU.

I MUST NOW RECOMMEND THAT
YOU REJOIN YOUR COMPANIONS.

YOU'LL SOON HAVE COMPANY: THE
OFFICERS AND THE CREW OF THE SEAVIEW.

YOU'RE WORSE THAN ANY OF THEM.

NOW, NOW, NOW.
NOW, ADMIRAL NELSON.

THAT WAS A MOST UNNECESSARY
AND FOOLISH THING TO DO.

I KEEP EXPECTING SO MUCH
MORE FROM YOU. COME, TOMAS.

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE VERY SAFE
IN THE COMPOUND FROM NOW ON.

BESIDES, YOU'VE EARNED THE
RIGHT TO WATCH US SPRING THE TRAP.

CAPTAIN, THERE'S A CHANNEL
OPENING UP IN FRONT OF US.

LET'S GET A LOOK ON VISUAL.

LET'S TAKE HER IN
AS CLOSE AS WE CAN.

IT'S NO USE.

THE SCHRODERS OF THIS WORLD
WILL ALWAYS BE ONE STEP AHEAD OF US.

WELL, WE'VE STILL GOT A CHANCE.

YOU CAN'T WISH HIM
AND HIS PLANS AWAY.

WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE
THAN WISHING GOING FOR US.

IF ONLY WE DON'T
RUN OUT OF TIME.

THE SEAVIEW IS
MOVING INTO POSITION.

CARL, SWITCH THE VIEWER ON.

VIEWER ON.

PERFECT!

NO, NO. LET ME DO THAT.

[Snaps Fingers] INDICATOR LIGHT!

[Rapid Beeping]

NOW! NOW!

AND, THAT'S...
THAT'S ALL OF IT, LEE.

BUT HOW COULD YOU
HAVE FIGURED TOMAS?

I CHECKED EVERY FOOT OF
THAT BARBED-WIRE FENCE.

THERE WASN'T AN INCH OF IT THAT WASN'T
COVERED BY ONE OF THE GUARD TOWERS.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY THAT TOMAS
COULD HAVE GOTTEN OVER THAT FENCE.

- IF SCHRODER WANTED HIM TO.
- MM-HMM.

ONCE I WAS SURE OF THAT, I KNEW
THAT TOMAS HAD SABOTAGED THE BOMBS.

ASIDE FROM THE ONE I REPAIRED
AFTER HE'D FINISHED WORKING ON IT.

AND SWITCHED WITH HIM.

ALONG WITH SOMETHING ELSE VERY SPECIAL: A
TIMING DEVICE I MADE OUT OF MY WRISTWATCH.

[Footsteps Clanging]

THE DOCTOR'S JUST FINISHED
HIS CHECKUP ON THE PASSENGERS.

MR. MIKLOS AND MR. BREWSTER
NEED SOME SHOTS,

AND DR. REINHARDT'S BLOOD
PRESSURE'S A LITTLE HIGH...

OTHERWISE, THEY'RE IN PRETTY GOOD
SHAPE, CONSIDERING SCHRODER'S HOSPITALITY.

I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T GET A
TASTE OF THAT HOSPITALITY.

IF HE'D HAVE SPRUNG THOSE
STEEL NETS ON THE SEAVIEW,

WE WOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO MANEUVER.

HE COULD HAVE PLAYED
CAT AND MOUSE WITH US.

HE COULD HAVE PLAYED CAT AND
MOUSE WITH THE WHOLE WORLD.

YOU MEAN, WHATEVER
WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OF IT.

YEAH. WHATEVER WOULD
HAVE BEEN LEFT OF IT.
