SEAVIEW, COME IN.
THIS IS SEAVIEW.
WHAT'S GOING ON
UP THERE?
WE'VE ENTERED
SOME KIND OF FORCE FIELD.
INSTRUMENTATION IS GOING WILD.
CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE FORCE?
WHERE'S IT COMING FROM?
NEGATIVE. WE'RE IN
THE CENTER OF THE FIELD,
GOING OUT OF CONTROL.
TAKE EVASIVE ACTION.
USE MANUAL GUIDANCE.
OUR CONTROLS ARE LOCKED IN.
WE'RE BEING RIPPED APART!

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
THE INSTALLATION THAT
DESTROYED OUR SPACE PROBE,
IT LIES SOMEWHERE
IN THAT AREA.
THE INSTRUMENTS ABOARD WERE
BLED OF ALL INFORMATION BEFORE
THE CAPSULE WAS DESTROYED.
IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYTHING
OUR PROBE LEARNED ABOUT
SPACE IS NOW IN THEIR HANDS.
EXACTLY.
WE'VE LOST THE KNOWLEDGE
AS WELL AS THE CAPSULE.
AND WE'VE LOST
TWO ASTRONAUTS.
WELL, YOUR JOB IS TO SEE
THAT WE DON'T LOSE
ANY MORE.
FIND OUT WHAT THEY'VE GOT,
HOW IT FUNCTIONS
AND HOW WE CAN STOP THEM.
EVERYTHING IS CHECKED OUT,
SIR. THE FLYING SUB
IS COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL.
VERY WELL.
CHIP, WE'LL NEED
SPECIAL WEAPONS--
THE XR-3 GEAR.
I'LL SEE IT
STOWED ABOARD.
CHIEF, YOU AND KOWALSKI
ARE COMING WITH ME.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
WE SHOVE OFF IN 10 MINUTES
IN COMBAT FATIGUES AND GEAR.
YES, SIR.
I'LL BRIEF YOU EN ROUTE.
RIGHT.
NOW, IF WE'RE DISCOVERED,
WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
EXACTLY.
WE DO HAVE SOME CONTACTS
IN THE UNDERGROUND.
A MAJOR LI CHENG
WILL MEET YOU WITH A SMALL
FORCE OF GUERRILLA FIGHTERS.
MAJOR LI CHENG.
WE'RE APPROACHING
LAUNCH COORDINATES, SIR.
THANKS, CHIP.
ALL STOP.
STAND BY TO LAUNCH
THE FLYING SUBMARINE.
PREPARE TO LAUNCH.
[ Man's Voice ]
READY TO LAUNCH.
CHIEF?
ALL SET.
FINE. LAUNCH.
CHIEF?
SIR?
WHAT'S THE SPEED?
ONE-SEVEN-FIVE-ZERO
KNOTS, SIR.
MMM. COURSE?
TWO-SIX-ZERO DEGREES.
ALL RIGHT.
THERE IT IS.
THERE'S OUR LANDFALL.
MARK COORDINATE 82.
EIGHTY-TWO, SIR.
VECTOR THREE.
VECTOR THREE.
HMM. LOOKS LIKE WE MEET
THIS MAJOR LI CHENG UPRIVER.
YES. WE'RE SCHEDULED
TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH HIM AT--
[ High-pitched Tone Ringing ]
SKIPPER?
YEAH.
SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME KIND
OF THING THAT DESTROYED
THE SPACE CAPSULE.
WE'RE GOING INTO
THAT FORCE FIELD, SIR.
ALL RIGHT. HANG ON.
[ High-pitched Ringing
Continues ]
COORDINATE 82,
VECTOR THREE.
RUN-OVER POINT, SIR.
ALL STOP.
RIGHT, SIR.
[ Engines Power Down, Stop ]
THAT ATTACK ON US,
SKIPPER-- I THINK SOMEBODY
SURE KNOWS WE'RE COMING.
CLOSE THE BLACKOUT SHUTTERS.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE
TO SEE THE LIGHTS.
YES, SIR.
IF SOMETHING HAS SPRUNG
A LEAK TOPSIDE, CAPTAIN,
MAYBE ME OR THE CHIEF
COULD HELP PLUG IT.
IF I NEED YOU,
I'LL GET IN TOUCH.
[ Beeping ]
[ Rapid Beeping ]
MAINTAIN CHIEF FREQUENCY.
I'LL BE IN COMMUNICATION
EVERY HALF HOUR UNTIL
I RETURN WITH MAJOR CHENG.
AND, UH, WHAT HAPPENS
IF WE, UH-- IF WE DON'T
HEAR FROM YOU, SIR?
WAIT SIX HOURS.
IF THERE'S NO WORD,
RETURN TO THE SEAVIEW.
OKAY, KOWALSKI,
CRACK THE HATCH.
YES, SIR.
[ Animals Calling ]
[ Birds Chirping ]
[ Monkey Chattering ]
OH, MAN.
I DON'T LIKE IT, KOWALSKI.
THERE'S NO TELLIN'
WHAT'S GOIN' ON TOPSIDE
WITH THE SKIPPER,
AND WE'RE STUCK DOWN HERE.
[ Radio Beeping ]
FS-1 UNSCRAMBLED.
PROCEED.
THIS IS SEA DOG.
FLYING SUB 1,
PUT CAPTAIN CRANE ON.
SORRY, SIR. THE CAPTAIN WENT
ASHORE TO CONTACT MAJOR CHENG.
- CAN YOU COMMUNICATE?
- WE HAVE A "G" FREQUENCY
ESTABLISHED.
GET ON IT, CHIEF. TELL HIM
WASHINGTON REPORTS A KING-SIZED
FOUL-UP IN THE UNDERGROUND.
HE MAY BE WALKING
RIGHT INTO A TRAP.
[ Insect Buzzing ]
[ Buzzing Stops ]
[ Chamber Clicks, Gunshot ]
[ Animal Shrieks ]
TRY VOICE COMMUNICATION.
NEGATIVE.
YOU HEARD WHAT
COMMANDER MORTON SAID.
WE GOTTA TRY
VOICE TRANSMISSION.
AND JUST MAYBE
THERE'S A BUNCH OF LOUSY
BANDITS UP THERE...
ALL SET TO MAKE A RUMBLE.
ALL THEY NEED IS THE SOUND
OF OUR TRANSMISSION TO LEAD THEM
STRAIGHT TO THE SKIPPER.
[ Radar Screen Beeping ]
CONTACT, CHIEF.
A SINGLE BLIP
HEADED TOWARD THE BOW.
RANGE: 110 YARDS.
FROGMAN.
THE SKIPPER?
NO RECOGNITION SIGNAL.
MAYBE IT'S
THE UNDERGROUND CONTACT.
I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
FLY BALL TO CENTER FIELD.
FLY BALL TO CENTER FIELD.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE?
[ Woman ]
CIRCUS CATCH CLOSES OFF
THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH INNING.
HOW DOES
THE SCORECARD READ?
NO HITS, NO RUNS,
NO ERRORS.
COME INTO THE DUGOUT.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Bird Shrieking ]
ALL RIGHT, FRIEND.
WHAT GIVES?
YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.
THAT'S OBVIOUS.
TRY SOMETHING ELSE ON
FOR SIZE.
VERY WELL.
FLY BALL TO CENTER FIELD.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE?
A CIRCUS CATCH
CLOSES OUT AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE NINTH INNING.
VERY GOOD.
AND HOW DOES
YOUR SCORECARD READ?
HOW DOES YOURS READ?
NO HITS. NO RUNS.
NO ERRORS.
ALL RIGHT.
WHO ARE YOU?
I SHOULD THINK IT'D BE
OBVIOUS BY NOW,
CAPTAIN CRANE.
I'M THE UNDERGROUND
CONTACT YOU WERE TO MEET--
MAJOR LI CHENG.
PLEASE.
PLEASE PUT AWAY
THE GUN, SAILOR.
I'M NO ENEMY OF YOURS.
WELL, UH,
JUST WHO ARE YOU?
I'M YOUR UNDERGROUND
CONTACT-- MAJOR LI CHENG.
AND YOU'VE HAD NO WORD
WHATSOEVER FROM LEE?
NOTHING. HE COULD HAVE
WALKED RIGHT INTO A TRAP.
WELL, IF HE DOESN'T
RETURN WITHIN AN HOUR,
SHARKEY AND KOWALSKI
WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE
HIS MISSION.
- SOUNDS URGENT, SIR.
- CHIP,
ARCTURUS IV, OUR SECOND
RETURNING SPACE PROBE,
WILL GO INTO REENTRY
IN 12 HOURS.
THERE'S BEEN
NO PUBLIC RELEASE
OF INFORMATION ON THAT.
WELL, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
WHATEVER DESTROYED ARCTURUS III
CAN TRACK DOWN AND DESTROY
IV JUST AS EASILY.
NOW, OUR DATA PROCESSING HERE
INDICATES IT'S
A HALDEN COMPUTER.
BLAKE HALDEN,
THE SPACE EXPERT,
IS WORKING FOR THEM?
THAT'S THE MAN.
NOW, THE HALDEN COMPUTER
IS BASICALLY SIMILAR
TO OUR RG-43.
LEE HAS GOT TO FIND IT
AND DESTROY IT.
IF HE'S STILL ALIVE.
AND IF HE CAN FIND
THE SCIENTIFIC COMPLEX
HALDEN'S OPERATING FROM.
SOMEBODY HAS TO FIND IT,
AND WITHIN 12 HOURS.
OTHERWISE, ARCTURUS IV
WILL BE DESTROYED.
[ Teletype Printing ]
TWELVE HOURS--
THAT WAS MY PREDICTION.
AND MY PREDICTION WAS
REMARKABLY ACCURATE,
COLONEL.
[ Chuckles ]
ACCORDING TO THIS,
THE ARCTURUS IV WILL START
ITS REENTRY ORBIT...
IN PRECISELY 11 HOURS
AND 53 MINUTES.
JUST WHAT ASSURANCE DO I HAVE,
MR. HALDEN, THAT YOU...
AND YOUR MACHINE ARE
FURNISHING CORRECT DATA?
THERE'S ALWAYS FAITH.
FAITH.
INDEED, FAITH.
IN ORBITAL COMPUTATIONS.
FAITH IN SPATIAL TELEMETRY.
FAITH IN STELLAR
VECTOR DIGITS.
THE ENTIRE MARVELOUS WORLD
OF CYBERNETICS.
I HAVE FAITH ONLY
IN THE EVIDENCE
OF MY FIVE SENSES.
THEN AS YOUR SENSES
HAVE ALREADY RECORDED...
THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE ARCTURUS III,
THEY WILL ALSO RECORD
THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE ARCTURUS IV.
APPARENTLY WE HAVE
A TRAITOR IN OUR
UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT.
WHEN WE REACHED
OUR RENDEZVOUS AREA,
THEY WERE WAITING FOR US
AND OPENED FIRE.
BUT THEY DIDN'T GET YOU.
NO.
BUT WHEN I SAW YOU
STALKING THROUGH
THE JUNGLE--
YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE
RETURNING TO KILL YOU.
YES.
[ Sighs ]
IT'S A NASTY HABIT.
WHAT?
SHOOTING FIRST
AND ASKING QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS.
- YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
- LET'S SAY
I'M WITHHOLDING JUDGMENT.
[ Beeping ]
HEY, THE SKIPPER.
- READING. PROCEED.
- THIS IS LEADER.
ABOUT TO RETURN
TO BASE WITH A GUEST.
REQUIRE PROPER
TRAVELING GEAR.
SEND IMMEDIATELY
TO THE ORIGINAL
RENDEZVOUS POINT. OUT.
CAPTAIN, WE GOT WORD
FROM SEA--
ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI,
WHAT ARE YOU HANGING
AROUND FOR? YOU HEARD HIM.
GET IN YOUR WET SUIT
AND BREAK OUT ANOTHER ONE.
I'M ON MY WAY.
UH--
YEAH?
SOMETHING TELLS ME
THIS IS GOING TO BE
A VERY INTERESTING MEETING.
OKAY, CHIP.
I HAVE THE MESSAGES.
TELL THE ADMIRAL
WE'LL CARRY ON.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW ONE OF YOU IS LYING.
NOW I'VE HEARD
HIS STORY.
WHAT'S YOURS?
OR DO YOU STILL INSIST
YOU'RE MAJOR CHENG?
OF COURSE NOT.
I'M MOANA YUTANG.
DOES THAT MEAN
ANYTHING TO YOU?
NO.
HE DOESN'T MEAN
ANYTHING TO ME EITHER.
BUT I MEAN SOMETHING
TO YOU.
WHY?
WHO ELSE CAN LEAD YOU
TO THE HALDEN COMPUTER...
AND STOP ARCTURUS IV
FROM BEING SHOT DOWN?
YOU KNOW WHERE HALDEN IS?
NOT EXACTLY.
BUT I KNOW WHERE THERE'S
A SAFE HOUSE IN THE JUNGLE.
SOME OF OUR MEN
WHO WORKED ON THE COMPLEX
ARE WAITING THERE.
- I TAKE YOU TO THEM.
THEY TAKE YOU TO HALDEN.
- JUST LIKE THAT?
- WHY NOT?
- PERHAPS BECAUSE YOU
CAME ABOARD POSING AS ME.
I WAS WITH SOME
RESISTANCE FIGHTERS WHO WERE
CUT DOWN AND AMBUSHED.
BEFORE ONE OF THEM DIED,
I WAS TOLD ABOUT
THE MAJOR CHENG RENDEZVOUS.
THAT STILL DOESN'T TELL US
WHY YOU POSED AS MAJOR CHENG.
I HAD NO WISH TO BE KILLED
BY YOUR MEN BECAUSE
THEY DID NOT KNOW ME.
SOMEHOW I HAD
TO GET ABOARD SAFELY...
TO HELP YOU DESTROY
OUR ENEMIES--
THEIR SCIENTIFIC
HEADQUARTERS.
OR PERHAPS TO LEAD US ALL
INTO A DEATHTRAP.
WHERE IS THIS SAFE HOUSE?
ABOUT 10 MILES FROM
THE SOURCE OF THIS RIVER
AND FIVE MORE INLAND.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT?
I KNOW IT EXISTS, YES.
[ Sighs ]
CHIEF?
SKIP?
TAKE US UPRIVER.
UM, WITH HER?
AHEAD ONE-THIRD.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
YOU ARE ACCEPTING
THIS GIRL AT FACE VALUE.
DO YOU TRUST HER?
NO MORE THAN I TRUST YOU.
BUT AT LEAST SHE HAS A PLAN.
LOOK AT HER.
SLEEPING THERE AS INNOCENT
AS A YOUNG BABE.
BUT YOU DON'T THINK
SHE IS?
IN MY COUNTRY,
WE HAVE A CERTAIN
CEREMONIAL DANCE.
ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS
IN THE VILLAGE
DANCE IN MASKS.
AND THE UGLIEST GIRL
IS ALWAYS GIVEN
THE PRETTIEST MASK.
[ Beeping ]
[ Sharkey ] CONTACT, SKIPPER.
THERE'S A WHOLE MESS OF THEM.
ALL STOP.
[ Engines Power Down, Stop ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
THOSE ARE MINES.
[ Beeping ]
[ Beeping ]
WE'RE HOVERING, SIR,
BUT THOSE THINGS STILL
SEEM TO BE COMING ON.
ACTIVATE THE NOSE CAMERA.
[ Crane ]
THEY'RE HOMING MINES.
HIT THE COUNTER-MAGNETIC FIELD.
[ Switch Clicks ]
[ Beeping Intensifies ]
[ Sighs ]
THAT'S WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A SQUEAKER, RIGHT, SKIPPER?
[ Beeping Continues ]
WE'RE NOT OUT OF IT YET.
- ANYONE HURT?
- UH-UH.
[ Sighs ]
FINE, SKIP.
CHIEF, CHECK
THE REACTOR CIRCUITS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
KOWALSKI,
CHECK THE HULL.
AYE, SIR.
[ Switch Clicks ]
CAPTAIN?
THE-- THE MAJOR REACTOR
CIRCUITS ARE ALL BLOWN, SIR.
BUT THE SECONDARY
EMERGENCY CIRCUITS
ARE ONLY DAMAGED.
HOW LONG DO YOU NEED
TO FIX IT?
OH, ABOUT EIGHT TO 10 HOURS.
KOWALSKI?
ALL GAUGES AND PRESSURES
NORMAL, SIR.
NO VISIBLE SIGN OF HULL
OR STRUCTURE DAMAGE.
ALL RIGHT, CHIEF.
STAY ABOARD
AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE.
THE REST OF US
ARE GONNA MOVE OUT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CAPTAIN, YOU'RE NOT GOING
AHEAD WITH HER PLAN--
NOT AFTER WHAT'S HAPPENED.
I'D GO AHEAD
WITH THIS MISSION...
EVEN IF THE TWO
OF YOU WERE HALDEN
AND HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN.
NOW LET'S GET
INTO OUR SUITS.
[ Teletype Printing ]
WE HAVE THE ARCTURUS IV
IN OUR SIGHTS.
IN SEVEN HOURS, 23 MINUTES,
SHE WILL MOVE INTO HER
REENTRY ORBIT AND BE OURS.
YOU'RE NOT PLEASED?
I'D BE MORE PLEASED IF
THE GUERRILLAS THAT LANDED ON
OUR SHORES HAD BEEN ELIMINATED.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN?
LISTEN FOR YOURSELF.
[ Beeping ]
THERE'S A SIGNAL
FROM OUR AGENT WHO IS
IN CONTACT WITH THEM.
SECURITY IS
YOUR BUSINESS, COLONEL.
MAKE SURE
YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.
MINE IS TO LEARN
THE SECRET OF THE STARS...
SO THAT WE,
AND NOT THE UNITED STATES,
WILL DOMINATE SPACE.
LET'S STOP AND REST.
- STRANGE,
ISN'T IT, CAPTAIN?
- WHAT'S THAT?
THE STARS--
THEY'RE DIFFERENT HERE,
BUT THEY CAST THE SAME
MAGIC SPELL THEY DID...
- OVER THE WESTWOOD CAMPUS.
- WESTWOOD?
I WAS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT
AT UCLA.
AND I LOVED
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT--
POM-POM GIRL,
SORORITY, THEATER ARTS.
YOU KNOW,
I STILL WEAR MY PIN.
IT SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING TO ME--
HAPPINESS, FREEDOM, ACCEPTANCE.
BUT THEN AT HEART I'M JUST
A LITTLE SENTIMENTAL FOOL.
THERE'S NOT MUCH SENTIMENT
CONNECTED WITH WHAT
YOU'RE DOING OUT HERE.
THAT DEPENDS
ON THE POINT OF VIEW.
I CAME BACK TO HELP
MY COUNTRY,
TO GIVE MY PEOPLE
A PLACE IN THE SUN.
ARE YOU DOING IT?
SOMETIMES I WONDER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WELL, DEPENDS UPON
WHAT YOU'RE REALLY DOING.
[ Machine Gun Fire ]
[ Machine Gun Fire ]
SOUNDED LIKE AN AMBUSH.
NO DOUBT OF IT.
AND THE FIRING CAME FROM
THE EXACT DIRECTION IN WHICH
MISS YUTANG WAS LEADING US.
MAJOR, YOU AND I
ARE GOING ON A LITTLE
SCOUTING EXPEDITION.
GLADLY. BUT I WOULD BE
OF MORE HELP CARRYING ARMS.
HERE.
KOWALSKI, YOU STAY
WITH MISS YUTANG.
- KEEP HER UNDER GUARD.
- YES, SIR.
WHY DON'T YOU BIND
AND GAG ME TOO, CAPTAIN?
WATCH OUT FOR HER,
KOWALSKI. AT TIMES
SHE CAN DECEIVE YOU...
BY BEING A LITTLE
SENTIMENTAL FOOL.
YES, SIR.
[ Cheng ]
YES. HE'S ONE OF OURS.
[ Cheng ]
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
THAT WAS THE SAFE HOUSE
THE GIRL WAS LEADING US TO.
IF THAT TRAP HAD NOT BEEN
SPRUNG PREMATURELY,
THINK OF WHAT COULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO US.
RIGHT NOW, MAJOR,
I'M THINKING ABOUT KOWALSKI.
[ Beeping ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
[ Footsteps Approaching ]
[ Sighs ]
OH.
OOH. HOLD IT, MA'AM.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING AFTER?
MY LIPSTICK.
DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
EVEN IN ONE OF THESE,
I'M STILL A WOMAN.
AND MAKEUP DOESN'T LAST LONG
IN JUNGLE HUMIDITY.
MAY I HAVE
YOUR PERMISSION
TO TAKE IT OUT?
JUST MAKE IT SLOW
AND EASY, MA'AM.
OF COURSE.
JUST A LIPSTICK.
BUT IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME,
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
HEY!
[ Screams ]
TIME IS TOO VALUABLE,
CAPTAIN.
THE HALDEN COMPUTER COMPLEX
SHOULD BE LOCATED
SOMEWHERE IN THIS AREA,
BUT THE TWO OF US ALONE
COULD NOT POSSIBLY
HOPE TO--
[ Radio Beeps ]
HOLD IT, MAJOR.
READING. PROCEED.
[ Sharkey ]
THE RUMBLE IS ON, SKIPPER.
WE JUST GOT A RED CODE
FLASH FROM WASHINGTON,
AND YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
LET'S HAVE IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT JOKER IS
TAGGING ALONG WITH YOU,
BUT IT'S A CINCH
HE'S NOT MAJOR CHENG.
HE COULDN'T BE, SKIPPER.
THEY JUST GOT THE WORD.
THE REAL MAJOR CHENG
WAS KILLED IN AN AMBUSH
TWO DAYS AGO.
FS-1 TO LEADER.
ARE YOU STILL READING ME?
COME IN, LEADER. COME IN.
THROW THE RADIO PACK
TO THE GROUND, CAPTAIN.
SLOWLY. GENTLY.
FS-1 CALLING LEADER.
FS-1 CALLING LEADER.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
THE REAL MAJOR CHENG
WAS KILLED TWO DAYS AGO.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE READING.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE--
SO,
OUR LITTLE GAME
OF CAT AND MOUSE HAS FINALLY
COME TO AN END, CAPTAIN.
YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHO YOU REALLY ARE?
MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT.
MY JOB IS.
I STILL HAVE MY ASSIGNED
TASK TO COMPLETE.
TO KILL ME?
HARDLY.
THAT I COULD HAVE DONE
LONG AGO.
NO, MY SUPERIORS
WISH TO QUESTION YOU NOW
ABOUT YOUR FLYING SUBMARINE.
I WILL TAKE YOU TO THEM.
SO I'M GOING TO MAKE IT
TO YOUR SCIENTIFIC
HEADQUARTERS AFTER ALL.
IN PLENTY OF TIME TO SEE
YOUR ARCTURUS IV MEET THE SAME
FATE AS YOUR LAST PROBE.
SHALL WE GO?
[ Beeping ]
FS-1 TO SEA DOG.
FS-1 TO SEA DOG.
COME IN. COME IN.
THIS IS SEA DOG.
FLYING SUB 1, PROCEED.
EMERGENCY X-3 SIGNAL
BEING RECEIVED FROM LEADER.
HIS HOMING DEVICE
IS SET AND OPERATING.

TO FOLLOW AND JOIN HIM.
OVER.
- PERMISSION GRANTED.
- OUT.
[ Signal Beeping ]
[ Groans ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
WE'VE ARRIVED
AT OUR DESTINATION,
CAPTAIN.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT?
- A VERY EFFECTIVE COVER
FOR AN UNDERGROUND COMPLEX.
THERE MUST BE A PASSAGEWAY
INSIDE LEADING DOWN
TO THE CENTER.
THERE IS.
THE ONLY DIFFICULTY
IS IN GETTING TO IT.
THAT SCORCHED CIRCLE
IN FRONT OF THE HUT
MUST BE A FORCE FIELD.
EXACTLY.
CERTAIN DEATH TO ANYONE
WHO DOESN'T WEAR...
THE INDIVIDUAL
IDENTIFICATION RING--
- AND KNOWS ITS SECRET.
- THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
NOW I CAN GET IN THERE
WITHOUT YOU.
THIS IS NO TIME
FOR HEROICS, CAPTAIN.
- I HAVE NO COMPUNCTIONS
ABOUT KILLING YOU.
- I BELIEVE THAT.
YOU'VE HAD YOUR WARNING.
[ Trigger Clicks ]
DID YOU REALLY THINK
I'D TRUST YOU
WITH A LIVE WEAPON?
[ Rustling ]
SORRY, CAPTAIN.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU.
[ Exhales ]
WHERE'S KOWALSKI?
MY TRANSCEIVER INTERCEPTED
CHENG'S MESSAGE TO THE HALDEN
COMPLEX HEADQUARTERS.
SOMEONE HAD TO TELL YOU
THIS MAN WAS A TRAITOR,
SO I GAVE YOUR SAILOR
A LITTLE WHIFF
OF MORPHEUS GAS.
HE SHOULD BE FINE BY NOW.
AHH.
YOU STILL THINK I LIE?
- THIS MIGHT HELP.
- WHAT'S THIS?
A DETAILED SCHEMATIC DRAWING
OF THE INTERIOR OF THE COMPLEX.
YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME
THIS BEFORE.
I COULDN'T WITHOUT
REVEALING MY IDENTITY.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
FROM THE DYING
UNDERGROUND LEADER
WHO SENT ME TO YOU.
WHY DID HE GIVE IT
TO YOU?
HE WAS MY HUSBAND.

EVERYTHING'S OPERATIONAL.
WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU,

WE HAVE NO REPORT
FROM OUR AGENT
FOR ALMOST SIX HOURS.
WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES THAT MAKE?
WE'RE IMPREGNABLE HERE.
IN LESS THAN
SEVEN MINUTES NOW,
OUR WORK WILL BE
MOST SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED.
THIS IS THE MAIN CORRIDOR,
AND THIS IS THE POWER DUCT
RIGHT HERE.
[ Kowalski ]
MM-HMM.
AND THE CONTROL ROOM COMPLEX
IS RIGHT IN HERE.
NOW, OUR STRATEGY
IS SIMPLE--
A COMMANDO-TYPE RAID.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT
SIX MINUTES
TO ACCOMPLISH IT.
NOW, MOANA, THE THREE
OF US CAN HANDLE THIS.
YOU BETTER STAY HERE.
SAVE YOUR BREATH, CAPTAIN.
YOU'LL NEED CROSS-FIRE COVER,
AND I'VE GOT
A PERSONAL SCORE TO SETTLE.
OKAY. LET'S GO.
GET RID OF THIS STUFF,
KOWALSKI.
YEAH.
THE FORCE FIELD'S
OPERATIVE.
THIS HAD BETTER WORK.
OKAY. LET'S MOVE IN.

[ Siren Wailing ]
- HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?
- EXACTLY THREE MINUTES.
AND THE ACTION
IS IRREVERSIBLE.
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
LET'S MOVE.

PUT YOUR ARM AROUND ME.
COME ON.

YOU SURE YOU WON'T

THE INSTALLATION THAT
DESTROYED OUR SPACE PROBE,
IT LIES SOMEWHERE
IN THAT AREA.
THE INSTRUMENTS ABOARD WERE
BLED OF ALL INFORMATION BEFORE
THE CAPSULE WAS DESTROYED.
IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYTHING
OUR PROBE LEARNED ABOUT
SPACE IS NOW IN THEIR HANDS.
EXACTLY.
WE'VE LOST THE KNOWLEDGE
AS WELL AS THE CAPSULE.
AND WE'VE LOST
TWO ASTRONAUTS.
WELL, YOUR JOB IS TO SEE
THAT WE DON'T LOSE
ANY MORE.
FIND OUT WHAT THEY'VE GOT,
HOW IT FUNCTIONS
AND HOW WE CAN STOP THEM.
EVERYTHING IS CHECKED OUT,
SIR. THE FLYING SUB
IS COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL.
VERY WELL.
CHIP, WE'LL NEED
SPECIAL WEAPONS--
THE XR-3 GEAR.
I'LL SEE IT
STOWED ABOARD.
CHIEF, YOU AND KOWALSKI
ARE COMING WITH ME.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
WE SHOVE OFF IN 10 MINUTES
IN COMBAT FATIGUES AND GEAR.
YES, SIR.
I'LL BRIEF YOU EN ROUTE.
RIGHT.
NOW, IF WE'RE DISCOVERED,
WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
EXACTLY.
WE DO HAVE SOME CONTACTS
IN THE UNDERGROUND.
A MAJOR LI CHENG
WILL MEET YOU WITH A SMALL
FORCE OF GUERRILLA FIGHTERS.
MAJOR LI CHENG.
WE'RE APPROACHING
LAUNCH COORDINATES, SIR.
THANKS, CHIP.
ALL STOP.
STAND BY TO LAUNCH
THE FLYING SUBMARINE.
PREPARE TO LAUNCH.
[ Man's Voice ]
READY TO LAUNCH.
CHIEF?
ALL SET.
FINE. LAUNCH.
CHIEF?
SIR?
WHAT'S THE SPEED?
ONE-SEVEN-FIVE-ZERO
KNOTS, SIR.
MMM. COURSE?
TWO-SIX-ZERO DEGREES.
ALL RIGHT.
THERE IT IS.
THERE'S OUR LANDFALL.
MARK COORDINATE 82.
EIGHTY-TWO, SIR.
VECTOR THREE.
VECTOR THREE.
HMM. LOOKS LIKE WE MEET
THIS MAJOR LI CHENG UPRIVER.
YES. WE'RE SCHEDULED
TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH HIM AT--
[ High-pitched Tone Ringing ]
SKIPPER?
YEAH.
SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME KIND
OF THING THAT DESTROYED
THE SPACE CAPSULE.
WE'RE GOING INTO
THAT FORCE FIELD, SIR.
ALL RIGHT. HANG ON.
[ High-pitched Ringing
Continues ]
COORDINATE 82,
VECTOR THREE.
RUN-OVER POINT, SIR.
ALL STOP.
RIGHT, SIR.
[ Engines Power Down, Stop ]
THAT ATTACK ON US,
SKIPPER-- I THINK SOMEBODY
SURE KNOWS WE'RE COMING.
CLOSE THE BLACKOUT SHUTTERS.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE
TO SEE THE LIGHTS.
YES, SIR.
IF SOMETHING HAS SPRUNG
A LEAK TOPSIDE, CAPTAIN,
MAYBE ME OR THE CHIEF
COULD HELP PLUG IT.
IF I NEED YOU,
I'LL GET IN TOUCH.
[ Beeping ]
[ Rapid Beeping ]
MAINTAIN CHIEF FREQUENCY.
I'LL BE IN COMMUNICATION
EVERY HALF HOUR UNTIL
I RETURN WITH MAJOR CHENG.
AND, UH, WHAT HAPPENS
IF WE, UH-- IF WE DON'T
HEAR FROM YOU, SIR?
WAIT SIX HOURS.
IF THERE'S NO WORD,
RETURN TO THE SEAVIEW.
OKAY, KOWALSKI,
CRACK THE HATCH.
YES, SIR.
[ Animals Calling ]
[ Birds Chirping ]
[ Monkey Chattering ]
OH, MAN.
I DON'T LIKE IT, KOWALSKI.
THERE'S NO TELLIN'
WHAT'S GOIN' ON TOPSIDE
WITH THE SKIPPER,
AND WE'RE STUCK DOWN HERE.
[ Radio Beeping ]
FS-1 UNSCRAMBLED.
PROCEED.
THIS IS SEA DOG.
FLYING SUB 1,
PUT CAPTAIN CRANE ON.
SORRY, SIR. THE CAPTAIN WENT
ASHORE TO CONTACT MAJOR CHENG.
- CAN YOU COMMUNICATE?
- WE HAVE A "G" FREQUENCY
ESTABLISHED.
GET ON IT, CHIEF. TELL HIM
WASHINGTON REPORTS A KING-SIZED
FOUL-UP IN THE UNDERGROUND.
HE MAY BE WALKING
RIGHT INTO A TRAP.
[ Insect Buzzing ]
[ Buzzing Stops ]
[ Chamber Clicks, Gunshot ]
[ Animal Shrieks ]
TRY VOICE COMMUNICATION.
NEGATIVE.
YOU HEARD WHAT
COMMANDER MORTON SAID.
WE GOTTA TRY
VOICE TRANSMISSION.
AND JUST MAYBE
THERE'S A BUNCH OF LOUSY
BANDITS UP THERE...
ALL SET TO MAKE A RUMBLE.
ALL THEY NEED IS THE SOUND
OF OUR TRANSMISSION TO LEAD THEM
STRAIGHT TO THE SKIPPER.
[ Radar Screen Beeping ]
CONTACT, CHIEF.
A SINGLE BLIP
HEADED TOWARD THE BOW.
RANGE: 110 YARDS.
FROGMAN.
THE SKIPPER?
NO RECOGNITION SIGNAL.
MAYBE IT'S
THE UNDERGROUND CONTACT.
I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
FLY BALL TO CENTER FIELD.
FLY BALL TO CENTER FIELD.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE?
[ Woman ]
CIRCUS CATCH CLOSES OFF
THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH INNING.
HOW DOES
THE SCORECARD READ?
NO HITS, NO RUNS,
NO ERRORS.
COME INTO THE DUGOUT.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Bird Shrieking ]
ALL RIGHT, FRIEND.
WHAT GIVES?
YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.
THAT'S OBVIOUS.
TRY SOMETHING ELSE ON
FOR SIZE.
VERY WELL.
FLY BALL TO CENTER FIELD.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE?
A CIRCUS CATCH
CLOSES OUT AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE NINTH INNING.
VERY GOOD.
AND HOW DOES
YOUR SCORECARD READ?
HOW DOES YOURS READ?
NO HITS. NO RUNS.
NO ERRORS.
ALL RIGHT.
WHO ARE YOU?
I SHOULD THINK IT'D BE
OBVIOUS BY NOW,
CAPTAIN CRANE.
I'M THE UNDERGROUND
CONTACT YOU WERE TO MEET--
MAJOR LI CHENG.
PLEASE.
PLEASE PUT AWAY
THE GUN, SAILOR.
I'M NO ENEMY OF YOURS.
WELL, UH,
JUST WHO ARE YOU?
I'M YOUR UNDERGROUND
CONTACT-- MAJOR LI CHENG.
AND YOU'VE HAD NO WORD
WHATSOEVER FROM LEE?
NOTHING. HE COULD HAVE
WALKED RIGHT INTO A TRAP.
WELL, IF HE DOESN'T
RETURN WITHIN AN HOUR,
SHARKEY AND KOWALSKI
WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE
HIS MISSION.
- SOUNDS URGENT, SIR.
- CHIP,
ARCTURUS IV, OUR SECOND
RETURNING SPACE PROBE,
WILL GO INTO REENTRY
IN 12 HOURS.
THERE'S BEEN
NO PUBLIC RELEASE
OF INFORMATION ON THAT.
WELL, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
WHATEVER DESTROYED ARCTURUS III
CAN TRACK DOWN AND DESTROY
IV JUST AS EASILY.
NOW, OUR DATA PROCESSING HERE
INDICATES IT'S
A HALDEN COMPUTER.
BLAKE HALDEN,
THE SPACE EXPERT,
IS WORKING FOR THEM?
THAT'S THE MAN.
NOW, THE HALDEN COMPUTER
IS BASICALLY SIMILAR
TO OUR RG-43.
LEE HAS GOT TO FIND IT
AND DESTROY IT.
IF HE'S STILL ALIVE.
AND IF HE CAN FIND
THE SCIENTIFIC COMPLEX
HALDEN'S OPERATING FROM.
SOMEBODY HAS TO FIND IT,
AND WITHIN 12 HOURS.
OTHERWISE, ARCTURUS IV
WILL BE DESTROYED.
[ Teletype Printing ]
TWELVE HOURS--
THAT WAS MY PREDICTION.
AND MY PREDICTION WAS
REMARKABLY ACCURATE,
COLONEL.
[ Chuckles ]
ACCORDING TO THIS,
THE ARCTURUS IV WILL START
ITS REENTRY ORBIT...
IN PRECISELY 11 HOURS
AND 53 MINUTES.
JUST WHAT ASSURANCE DO I HAVE,
MR. HALDEN, THAT YOU...
AND YOUR MACHINE ARE
FURNISHING CORRECT DATA?
THERE'S ALWAYS FAITH.
FAITH.
INDEED, FAITH.
IN ORBITAL COMPUTATIONS.
FAITH IN SPATIAL TELEMETRY.
FAITH IN STELLAR
VECTOR DIGITS.
THE ENTIRE MARVELOUS WORLD
OF CYBERNETICS.
I HAVE FAITH ONLY
IN THE EVIDENCE
OF MY FIVE SENSES.
THEN AS YOUR SENSES
HAVE ALREADY RECORDED...
THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE ARCTURUS III,
THEY WILL ALSO RECORD
THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE ARCTURUS IV.
APPARENTLY WE HAVE
A TRAITOR IN OUR
UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT.
WHEN WE REACHED
OUR RENDEZVOUS AREA,
THEY WERE WAITING FOR US
AND OPENED FIRE.
BUT THEY DIDN'T GET YOU.
NO.
BUT WHEN I SAW YOU
STALKING THROUGH
THE JUNGLE--
YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE
RETURNING TO KILL YOU.
YES.
[ Sighs ]
IT'S A NASTY HABIT.
WHAT?
SHOOTING FIRST
AND ASKING QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS.
- YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
- LET'S SAY
I'M WITHHOLDING JUDGMENT.
[ Beeping ]
HEY, THE SKIPPER.
- READING. PROCEED.
- THIS IS LEADER.
ABOUT TO RETURN
TO BASE WITH A GUEST.
REQUIRE PROPER
TRAVELING GEAR.
SEND IMMEDIATELY
TO THE ORIGINAL
RENDEZVOUS POINT. OUT.
CAPTAIN, WE GOT WORD
FROM SEA--
ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI,
WHAT ARE YOU HANGING
AROUND FOR? YOU HEARD HIM.
GET IN YOUR WET SUIT
AND BREAK OUT ANOTHER ONE.
I'M ON MY WAY.
UH--
YEAH?
SOMETHING TELLS ME
THIS IS GOING TO BE
A VERY INTERESTING MEETING.
OKAY, CHIP.
I HAVE THE MESSAGES.
TELL THE ADMIRAL
WE'LL CARRY ON.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW ONE OF YOU IS LYING.
NOW I'VE HEARD
HIS STORY.
WHAT'S YOURS?
OR DO YOU STILL INSIST
YOU'RE MAJOR CHENG?
OF COURSE NOT.
I'M MOANA YUTANG.
DOES THAT MEAN
ANYTHING TO YOU?
NO.
HE DOESN'T MEAN
ANYTHING TO ME EITHER.
BUT I MEAN SOMETHING
TO YOU.
WHY?
WHO ELSE CAN LEAD YOU
TO THE HALDEN COMPUTER...
AND STOP ARCTURUS IV
FROM BEING SHOT DOWN?
YOU KNOW WHERE HALDEN IS?
NOT EXACTLY.
BUT I KNOW WHERE THERE'S
A SAFE HOUSE IN THE JUNGLE.
SOME OF OUR MEN
WHO WORKED ON THE COMPLEX
ARE WAITING THERE.
- I TAKE YOU TO THEM.
THEY TAKE YOU TO HALDEN.
- JUST LIKE THAT?
- WHY NOT?
- PERHAPS BECAUSE YOU
CAME ABOARD POSING AS ME.
I WAS WITH SOME
RESISTANCE FIGHTERS WHO WERE
CUT DOWN AND AMBUSHED.
BEFORE ONE OF THEM DIED,
I WAS TOLD ABOUT
THE MAJOR CHENG RENDEZVOUS.
THAT STILL DOESN'T TELL US
WHY YOU POSED AS MAJOR CHENG.
I HAD NO WISH TO BE KILLED
BY YOUR MEN BECAUSE
THEY DID NOT KNOW ME.
SOMEHOW I HAD
TO GET ABOARD SAFELY...
TO HELP YOU DESTROY
OUR ENEMIES--
THEIR SCIENTIFIC
HEADQUARTERS.
OR PERHAPS TO LEAD US ALL
INTO A DEATHTRAP.
WHERE IS THIS SAFE HOUSE?
ABOUT 10 MILES FROM
THE SOURCE OF THIS RIVER
AND FIVE MORE INLAND.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT?
I KNOW IT EXISTS, YES.
[ Sighs ]
CHIEF?
SKIP?
TAKE US UPRIVER.
UM, WITH HER?
AHEAD ONE-THIRD.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
YOU ARE ACCEPTING
THIS GIRL AT FACE VALUE.
DO YOU TRUST HER?
NO MORE THAN I TRUST YOU.
BUT AT LEAST SHE HAS A PLAN.
LOOK AT HER.
SLEEPING THERE AS INNOCENT
AS A YOUNG BABE.
BUT YOU DON'T THINK
SHE IS?
IN MY COUNTRY,
WE HAVE A CERTAIN
CEREMONIAL DANCE.
ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS
IN THE VILLAGE
DANCE IN MASKS.
AND THE UGLIEST GIRL
IS ALWAYS GIVEN
THE PRETTIEST MASK.
[ Beeping ]
[ Sharkey ] CONTACT, SKIPPER.
THERE'S A WHOLE MESS OF THEM.
ALL STOP.
[ Engines Power Down, Stop ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
THOSE ARE MINES.
[ Beeping ]
[ Beeping ]
WE'RE HOVERING, SIR,
BUT THOSE THINGS STILL
SEEM TO BE COMING ON.
ACTIVATE THE NOSE CAMERA.
[ Crane ]
THEY'RE HOMING MINES.
HIT THE COUNTER-MAGNETIC FIELD.
[ Switch Clicks ]
[ Beeping Intensifies ]
[ Sighs ]
THAT'S WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A SQUEAKER, RIGHT, SKIPPER?
[ Beeping Continues ]
WE'RE NOT OUT OF IT YET.
- ANYONE HURT?
- UH-UH.
[ Sighs ]
FINE, SKIP.
CHIEF, CHECK
THE REACTOR CIRCUITS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
KOWALSKI,
CHECK THE HULL.
AYE, SIR.
[ Switch Clicks ]
CAPTAIN?
THE-- THE MAJOR REACTOR
CIRCUITS ARE ALL BLOWN, SIR.
BUT THE SECONDARY
EMERGENCY CIRCUITS
ARE ONLY DAMAGED.
HOW LONG DO YOU NEED
TO FIX IT?
OH, ABOUT EIGHT TO 10 HOURS.
KOWALSKI?
ALL GAUGES AND PRESSURES
NORMAL, SIR.
NO VISIBLE SIGN OF HULL
OR STRUCTURE DAMAGE.
ALL RIGHT, CHIEF.
STAY ABOARD
AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE.
THE REST OF US
ARE GONNA MOVE OUT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CAPTAIN, YOU'RE NOT GOING
AHEAD WITH HER PLAN--
NOT AFTER WHAT'S HAPPENED.
I'D GO AHEAD
WITH THIS MISSION...
EVEN IF THE TWO
OF YOU WERE HALDEN
AND HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN.
NOW LET'S GET
INTO OUR SUITS.
[ Teletype Printing ]
WE HAVE THE ARCTURUS IV
IN OUR SIGHTS.
IN SEVEN HOURS, 23 MINUTES,
SHE WILL MOVE INTO HER
REENTRY ORBIT AND BE OURS.
YOU'RE NOT PLEASED?
I'D BE MORE PLEASED IF
THE GUERRILLAS THAT LANDED ON
OUR SHORES HAD BEEN ELIMINATED.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN?
LISTEN FOR YOURSELF.
[ Beeping ]
THERE'S A SIGNAL
FROM OUR AGENT WHO IS
IN CONTACT WITH THEM.
SECURITY IS
YOUR BUSINESS, COLONEL.
MAKE SURE
YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.
MINE IS TO LEARN
THE SECRET OF THE STARS...
SO THAT WE,
AND NOT THE UNITED STATES,
WILL DOMINATE SPACE.
LET'S STOP AND REST.
- STRANGE,
ISN'T IT, CAPTAIN?
- WHAT'S THAT?
THE STARS--
THEY'RE DIFFERENT HERE,
BUT THEY CAST THE SAME
MAGIC SPELL THEY DID...
- OVER THE WESTWOOD CAMPUS.
- WESTWOOD?
I WAS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT
AT UCLA.
AND I LOVED
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT--
POM-POM GIRL,
SORORITY, THEATER ARTS.
YOU KNOW,
I STILL WEAR MY PIN.
IT SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING TO ME--
HAPPINESS, FREEDOM, ACCEPTANCE.
BUT THEN AT HEART I'M JUST
A LITTLE SENTIMENTAL FOOL.
THERE'S NOT MUCH SENTIMENT
CONNECTED WITH WHAT
YOU'RE DOING OUT HERE.
THAT DEPENDS
ON THE POINT OF VIEW.
I CAME BACK TO HELP
MY COUNTRY,
TO GIVE MY PEOPLE
A PLACE IN THE SUN.
ARE YOU DOING IT?
SOMETIMES I WONDER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WELL, DEPENDS UPON
WHAT YOU'RE REALLY DOING.
[ Machine Gun Fire ]
[ Machine Gun Fire ]
SOUNDED LIKE AN AMBUSH.
NO DOUBT OF IT.
AND THE FIRING CAME FROM
THE EXACT DIRECTION IN WHICH
MISS YUTANG WAS LEADING US.
MAJOR, YOU AND I
ARE GOING ON A LITTLE
SCOUTING EXPEDITION.
GLADLY. BUT I WOULD BE
OF MORE HELP CARRYING ARMS.
HERE.
KOWALSKI, YOU STAY
WITH MISS YUTANG.
- KEEP HER UNDER GUARD.
- YES, SIR.
WHY DON'T YOU BIND
AND GAG ME TOO, CAPTAIN?
WATCH OUT FOR HER,
KOWALSKI. AT TIMES
SHE CAN DECEIVE YOU...
BY BEING A LITTLE
SENTIMENTAL FOOL.
YES, SIR.
[ Cheng ]
YES. HE'S ONE OF OURS.
[ Cheng ]
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
THAT WAS THE SAFE HOUSE
THE GIRL WAS LEADING US TO.
IF THAT TRAP HAD NOT BEEN
SPRUNG PREMATURELY,
THINK OF WHAT COULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO US.
RIGHT NOW, MAJOR,
I'M THINKING ABOUT KOWALSKI.
[ Beeping ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
[ Footsteps Approaching ]
[ Sighs ]
OH.
OOH. HOLD IT, MA'AM.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING AFTER?
MY LIPSTICK.
DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
EVEN IN ONE OF THESE,
I'M STILL A WOMAN.
AND MAKEUP DOESN'T LAST LONG
IN JUNGLE HUMIDITY.
MAY I HAVE
YOUR PERMISSION
TO TAKE IT OUT?
JUST MAKE IT SLOW
AND EASY, MA'AM.
OF COURSE.
JUST A LIPSTICK.
BUT IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME,
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
HEY!
[ Screams ]
TIME IS TOO VALUABLE,
CAPTAIN.
THE HALDEN COMPUTER COMPLEX
SHOULD BE LOCATED
SOMEWHERE IN THIS AREA,
BUT THE TWO OF US ALONE
COULD NOT POSSIBLY
HOPE TO--
[ Radio Beeps ]
HOLD IT, MAJOR.
READING. PROCEED.
[ Sharkey ]
THE RUMBLE IS ON, SKIPPER.
WE JUST GOT A RED CODE
FLASH FROM WASHINGTON,
AND YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
LET'S HAVE IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT JOKER IS
TAGGING ALONG WITH YOU,
BUT IT'S A CINCH
HE'S NOT MAJOR CHENG.
HE COULDN'T BE, SKIPPER.
THEY JUST GOT THE WORD.
THE REAL MAJOR CHENG
WAS KILLED IN AN AMBUSH
TWO DAYS AGO.
FS-1 TO LEADER.
ARE YOU STILL READING ME?
COME IN, LEADER. COME IN.
THROW THE RADIO PACK
TO THE GROUND, CAPTAIN.
SLOWLY. GENTLY.
FS-1 CALLING LEADER.
FS-1 CALLING LEADER.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
THE REAL MAJOR CHENG
WAS KILLED TWO DAYS AGO.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE READING.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE--
SO,
OUR LITTLE GAME
OF CAT AND MOUSE HAS FINALLY
COME TO AN END, CAPTAIN.
YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHO YOU REALLY ARE?
MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT.
MY JOB IS.
I STILL HAVE MY ASSIGNED
TASK TO COMPLETE.
TO KILL ME?
HARDLY.
THAT I COULD HAVE DONE
LONG AGO.
NO, MY SUPERIORS
WISH TO QUESTION YOU NOW
ABOUT YOUR FLYING SUBMARINE.
I WILL TAKE YOU TO THEM.
SO I'M GOING TO MAKE IT
TO YOUR SCIENTIFIC
HEADQUARTERS AFTER ALL.
IN PLENTY OF TIME TO SEE
YOUR ARCTURUS IV MEET THE SAME
FATE AS YOUR LAST PROBE.
SHALL WE GO?
[ Beeping ]
FS-1 TO SEA DOG.
FS-1 TO SEA DOG.
COME IN. COME IN.
THIS IS SEA DOG.
FLYING SUB 1, PROCEED.

- PERMISSION GRANTED.
- OUT.
[ Signal Beeping ]
[ Groans ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
WE'VE ARRIVED
AT OUR DESTINATION,
CAPTAIN.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT?
- A VERY EFFECTIVE COVER
FOR AN UNDERGROUND COMPLEX.
THERE MUST BE A PASSAGEWAY
INSIDE LEADING DOWN
TO THE CENTER.
THERE IS.
THE ONLY DIFFICULTY
IS IN GETTING TO IT.
THAT SCORCHED CIRCLE
IN FRONT OF THE HUT
MUST BE A FORCE FIELD.
EXACTLY.
CERTAIN DEATH TO ANYONE
WHO DOESN'T WEAR...
THE INDIVIDUAL
IDENTIFICATION RING--
- AND KNOWS ITS SECRET.
- THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
NOW I CAN GET IN THERE
WITHOUT YOU.
THIS IS NO TIME
FOR HEROICS, CAPTAIN.
- I HAVE NO COMPUNCTIONS
ABOUT KILLING YOU.
- I BELIEVE THAT.
YOU'VE HAD YOUR WARNING.
[ Trigger Clicks ]
DID YOU REALLY THINK
I'D TRUST YOU
WITH A LIVE WEAPON?
[ Rustling ]
SORRY, CAPTAIN.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU.
[ Exhales ]
WHERE'S KOWALSKI?
MY TRANSCEIVER INTERCEPTED
CHENG'S MESSAGE TO THE HALDEN
COMPLEX HEADQUARTERS.
SOMEONE HAD TO TELL YOU
THIS MAN WAS A TRAITOR,
SO I GAVE YOUR SAILOR
A LITTLE WHIFF
OF MORPHEUS GAS.
HE SHOULD BE FINE BY NOW.
AHH.
YOU STILL THINK I LIE?
- THIS MIGHT HELP.
- WHAT'S THIS?
A DETAILED SCHEMATIC DRAWING
OF THE INTERIOR OF THE COMPLEX.
YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME
THIS BEFORE.
I COULDN'T WITHOUT
REVEALING MY IDENTITY.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
FROM THE DYING
UNDERGROUND LEADER
WHO SENT ME TO YOU.
WHY DID HE GIVE IT
TO YOU?
HE WAS MY HUSBAND.

WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES THAT MAKE?
WE'RE IMPREGNABLE HERE.
IN LESS THAN
SEVEN MINUTES NOW,
OUR WORK WILL BE

THIS IS THE MAIN CORRIDOR,
AND THIS IS THE POWER DUCT
RIGHT HERE.
[ Kowalski ]
MM-HMM.
AND THE CONTROL ROOM COMPLEX
IS RIGHT IN HERE.
NOW, OUR STRATEGY
IS SIMPLE--
A COMMANDO-TYPE RAID.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT
SIX MINUTES
TO ACCOMPLISH IT.
NOW, MOANA, THE THREE
OF US CAN HANDLE THIS.
YOU BETTER STAY HERE.
SAVE YOUR BREATH, CAPTAIN.
YOU'LL NEED CROSS-FIRE COVER,
AND I'VE GOT
A PERSONAL SCORE TO SETTLE.
OKAY. LET'S GO.
