TEST MISSILE
READY FOR FIRING,
ADMIRAL.

[ Nelson On Speaker ]
VERY WELL. PROCEED WITH FIRING.
START THE COUNTDOWN.

AYE, AYE. MISSILE CREW,
PREPARE FOR COUNTDOWN.

TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN,

SIX, FIVE, FOUR,
THREE, TWO, ONE.

FIRE!

ADMIRAL,
TEST MISSILE ON COURSE.

[ Nelson ]
WHAT'S HER POSITION RIGHT NOW?

HEADED DOWN-RANGE,
JUST CROSSING
THE GRAND BAHAMAS.

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Birds Squawking ]



[ Siren Continues ]

GOTTA TRY
TO MAKE IT THROUGH.

[ Grunting ]

[ Siren Continues ]

ADMIRAL?
HERE ARE THE FINAL FIGURES
ON LAST NIGHT'S TEST LAUNCH.

GOOD. WITH OUR NEW EQUIPMENT
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUT
20 MINUTES OFF THAT TIME.

THIS SHOULD BE A PERFECT AREA
TO PLANT IT. CLEAR WATER,
SMOOTH BOTTOM, PLENTY OF DEPTH.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET
ON WITH IT. SHARKEY?
ALL READY, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. GET THE NEW DEVICE
ABOARD THE FLYING SUB. IF THIS
DIVE CHECKS OUT ALL RIGHT,

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLANT IT
ON THE BOTTOM BEFORE DARK.
RIGHT, SIR.

CHIEF? LET'S GO.

STAND BY TO RELEASE BELL.

MR. MORTON, I WAS SUPPOSED
TO TAKE THIS TO THE SKIPPER.

YOU'LL FIND HIM UP FORWARD IN
THE FLYING SUB HATCH. BE CAREFUL
WITH THAT GUIDANCE DEVICE.



COST OVER A MILLION
AND A HALF BUCKS.

THIS, SIR?
SO DON'T DROP IT.

YES, SIR.
I MEAN, NO, SIR.

SKIPPER?

[ Crane ]
BE RIGHT THERE!

A MILLION
AND A HALF BUCKS.

I WISH HE HADN'T
HAVE TOLD ME.

ALL RIGHT. HAND IT HERE.

CAREFUL, SIR.
IT'S-IT'S VERY VALUABLE.

YES, RILEY. I'LL BE CAREFUL.

THAT'S IT.

8,440 FEET, CAPTAIN.

YOU'RE 2,000 FEET
FROM THE BOTTOM, ADMIRAL.

[ On Speaker ]
WHAT'S IT LIKE DOWN THERE?

IT'S GOOD SO FAR.
WATER'S CLEAR, AND THERE'S
NOTHING TO OBSTRUCT THE BEAM.

WE'VE ALREADY LOADED THE DEVICE
INTO THE FLYING SUB.
FINE.

IF THE BOTTOM'S SOLID,
I'LL PLANT IT
AS SOON AS I GET UP.

HEY, ADMIRAL, WHAT'S THIS, UH,
THING YOU'RE PUTTING DOWN HERE
WITH THE FLYING SUB?

THAT'S A MINIATURIZED
GUIDANCE-OR-DESTRUCT
MECHANISM...

THAT'LL ALLOW US TO FIRE
RETALIATORY ROCKETS
WITHOUT A PROGRAMMED TARGET.

MR. MORTON, SIR.

THERE'S SOMETHING
OFF THE PORT BOW, SIR.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

HMM. TWO MEN
CLINGING TO A ROWBOAT.

OUT HERE?
HOW'D THEY GET OUT
SO FAR FROM LAND?

I DON'T KNOW.

SPECIAL DECK DETAIL,
STAND BY.

DOWN SCOPE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Camera Whirring ]

[ Clicks Off ]

THEY'RE GONE.

SOMETHING MUST HAVE
FRIGHTENED 'EM AWAY.

SEE IF YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING
FROM THE OTHER PORTHOLE.
NOTHING HERE, SIR.

HMM.

[ Roaring ]

[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[ Roaring ]

4,300 FEET.

YOU'RE 1,100 FEET
FROM THE BOTTOM, ADMIRAL.

[ Morton On Speaker ]
SMALL BOAT CAPSIZED 200 YARDS
OFF STARBOARD, CAPTAIN.

PUT IT ON THE MONITOR,
CHIP.
AYE, AYE.

[ Crane ]
GIVE ME A CLOSER LOOK.

ALL RIGHT, CHIP.
STAND BY TO PICK THEM UP.
AYE, SIR.

KOWALSKI,
RECOVER THE DIVING BELL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE?

WE HAD TO ALTER COURSE
TO PICK UP TWO MEN ADRIFT
IN AN OVERTURNED BOAT.

THEY'RE BRINGING
THEM ABOARD NOW.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT 'EM.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY.

ALL RIGHT.
BRING 'EM DOWN.

GET HIM TO SICK BAY.

EASY!
EASY WITH HIM.

[ Groaning ]

THERE ARE NO ISLANDS
AROUND HERE FOR A HUNDRED MILES.

I'LL TALK TO 'EM.

I WANT TO TAKE THE BELL DOWN
ONCE MORE BEFORE WE LOSE
THE SUN. WILL YOU ARRANGE THAT?

RIGHT AWAY.
CHIEF?
SIR.

[ Panting ]
WHAT--

HOW IS HE, DOC?
NOT BAD, CONSIDERING.
HOW LONG WERE YOU OUT THERE?

A WEEK? TWO WEEKS?
HOW LONG?

A LONG TIME. I DON'T KNOW.

WHERE-WHERE'S DOBBS?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON YOUR FEET.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
I'M ALL RIGHT, DOC.

I'M RIGHT HERE, PAL.
RIGHT HERE. EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

- DOBBS IS
THE NAME-- FRANCIS J. DOBBS.
- NELSON.

THIS IS MY, UH,
BUSINESS ASSOCIATE, JOE HAWKINS.

THANKS FOR FISHING US UP.

- THEY REALLY SAVED OUR SKIN,
DIDN'T THEY?
- YEAH, THANKS.

HOW DID YOU
GET SO FAR OUT IN THE OCEAN?

THAT'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO KNOW.
EITHER OF YOU GOT A BUTT?

OH. HERE.
HERE, KEEP 'EM.

THANKS.

ARE THEY WELL ENOUGH
TO TRAVEL?
I THINK SO.

I'M GOING TO THE GRAND BAHAMAS
TONIGHT IN THE FLYING SUB.
I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME.

THE GOVERNOR'S A FRIEND OF MINE.
HE'LL ARRANGE FOR YOUR
TRANSPORTATION TO THE MAINLAND.

GET THEM SOME DRY CLOTHES
AND SOMETHING TO EAT.

YES, SIR.

[ Whispering ]
THE GRAND BAHAMAS,
THE GOVERNOR--

WE'RE HEADING RIGHT BACK
WHERE WE CAME FROM.

NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

WE'RE GOING TO BRAZIL.
THEY GOT NO
EXTRADITION LAWS THERE.

HMM. WHAT'S BUGGING YOU?

YOU KNOW, THOSE, UH--
THOSE TWO CHARACTERS.

MM-HMM.
I DON'T BELIEVE
THAT PHONY STORY...

ABOUT DRIFTING
OUT HERE FROM MIAMI.

I'M TELLING YOU, CHIEF,
THOSE GUYS ARE AS PHONY
AS A SIX-DOLLAR BILL.

ALL RIGHT, SHERLOCK.
LET'S HEAR IT.
ALL RIGHT.

NOW, THEY SAY THEY RENTED
THAT BOAT IN MIAMI. RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT WAS NOT
A RENTED BOAT.
OH.

NO NUMBER.
NO, NO. NO NUMBER.

EVERY RENTED BOAT
CARRIES A NUMBER.
OF COURSE.

IT'S LIKE A CAR LICENSE.
RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU BETTER TELL THE CAPTAIN.
COME-- YOU'VE GOT TO BE
OUT OF YOUR MIND!

I CAN'T GO AROUND MAKING CHARGES
JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SEE
A NUMBER ON A BEAT-UP BOAT.

[ Chuckles ]
I'M WARNING YOU, CHIEF.
IF YOU DON'T GO TELL--

[ Morton On Speaker ]
SPECIAL BELL DETAIL,
REPORT TO THE MISSILE ROOM.

LET'S GO, SHERLOCK.

AND, UH, PLEASE.
WILL YOU SAVE YOUR DEDUCTIONS
FOR YOUR INCOME TAX?

COME ON.

[ Switches Clicking ]

HIYA.

SORRY, GENTLEMEN.
THIS ROOM'S OFF LIMITS.

OH. UH, WE HEAR
THAT THE ADMIRAL...

IS GOING DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
IN THAT THING.

- WE JUST WANNA WATCH.
- COME ON, CAPTAIN. WE WON'T
GET INTO ANYBODY'S HAIR.

[ Morton On Speaker ]
STAND BY TO LAUNCH BELL.
NOW HOLD IT RIGHT HERE.

ADMIRAL?
DOBBS AND HAWKINS, UH,
I DON'T THINK SHOULD BE HERE.

OH, STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT.
THEY'LL BE OUT OF HERE
IN A FEW HOURS.

GOOD LUCK.

LAUNCH DIVING BELL.
[ Kowalski ]
AYE, AYE.

[ Clicking, Whirring ]
HERE'S THE FLYING SUB.

[ Hawkins ]
AND HERE'S THE ARSENAL.

[ Roars ]

DOBBS.
OH, THAT'S SOME SUBMARINE
YOU'VE GOT HERE, CAP.

YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING
BUT A POOLROOM.
THAT PLAN'S CLASSIFIED.

OH, SORRY. SORRY. WE'LL FORGET
THAT WE SAW IT. RIGHT, HAWKINS?
YEAH, RIGHT.

HEY, CAP. IS THIS SMALL CABLE
ALL THAT'S HOLDING UP
THAT DIVING BELL?

THAT'S ALL.
IF IT BREAKS, THEN THAT'S
CURTAINS FOR THE ADMIRAL.

IT WON'T BREAK. IT'S STRONG
ENOUGH TO HOLD 10 DIVING BELLS.
1,500 FEET, CAPTAIN.

[ Crane ]
3,900 FROM BOTTOM, ADMIRAL.

[ Nelson ]
CHECK, LEE. ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL.

WHEN I GIVE YOU THE NOD,
MAKE A BIG THING ABOUT NOSING
AROUND THOSE MISSILE TUBES.

HEY. I WANT TO
GIVE THEM SOMETHING
TO KEEP THEM BUSY HERE...

WHILE WE MAKE OUR WAY
TO THE FLYING SUB.

OH, YEAH.

HEY, CAPTAIN, I BET THESE
ARE THEM NUCLEAR MISSILES
I HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT.

GET AWAY FROM THERE!
SHUT THAT INSPECTION DOOR.

[ Machinery Clattering ]

WHAT'S THAT, KOWALSKI?
I DON'T KNOW.

[ Rumbling ]
[ Grunting ]

CLUTCH IS SLIPPING!

BELL PRESSURE
200 S.F.I., SIR.

WE'LL HAVE TO EQUALIZE IT.
OPEN THE MAIN VALVES
ALL THE WAY.

KOWALSKI,
GIVE ME A HAND!
[ Screeching ]

THERE'S OIL IN THERE!
DOUSE IT WITH GASOLINE!
RIGHT!

[ Hissing ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Screeching ]

START EMERGENCY
RECOVERY PROCEDURES.
AYE. AYE, AYE.

[ Hissing On Speaker ]

ADMIRAL.

ADMIRAL! SHARKEY!

RECOVERY COMPLETE, MR. MORTON.
[ On Speaker ]
HOW'S THE ADMIRAL?

WE'RE CRACKING
THE HATCH NOW.

[ Hatch Opens ]

[ Coughing ]
EASY, EASY.

COME ON, CHIEF.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

OKAY?
YEAH.

[ Man ]
NAVIGATION TO CONTROL.
NAVIGATION TO CONTROL.

ALL SYSTEMS NOW STANDING BY
TO ANSWER BELLS.

VERY WELL.
WE'LL HOLD OUR TRIM
AND WAIT FOR FURTHER ORDERS.

DOBBS DOESN'T MIND
USING THAT GUN,
SO NOBODY MOVE.

OPEN THE HATCH
TO THE FLYING SUB.

THAT WAS STUPID,
SAILOR!
[ Klaxon Blaring ]

WHAT'S THAT?
CONTROL ROOM! KOWALSKI,
WHERE'S DOBBS AND HAWKINS?

I DON'T KNOW. THEY WERE HERE
JUST BEFORE THE CLUTCH SLIPPED.

IT'S EMPTY, SKIPPER.
THAT'S HOW THE OIL GOT
INTO THE CLUTCH MECHANISM.

THEY SABOTAGED IT.

MOVE! COME ON! MOVE!

[ Clattering ]
HURRY UP.
I HEAR SOMEBODY COMING.

COME ON, COME ON.
QUIT STALLING. COME ON.

[ Extinguisher Blasting ]

BALLAST CONTROL'S OUT,
LEE.

[ Water Rushing ]

TANKS ARE FLOODING.
WE'RE HEADED FOR THE BOTTOM!

[ Roaring ]

IT'S NO USE.

[ Morton On Speaker ]
LEDGE DEAD AHEAD, CAPTAIN.

SWITCH ON THE NOSE CAMERA.

I'M GONNA TRY TO CRASH-LAND
ON THAT LEDGE.

ENGINE ROOM,
PREPARE TO STOP ALL ENGINES.

[ On Speaker ]
ALL HANDS, BRACE YOURSELVES.

STOP ALL ENGINES.
[ Man On Speaker ]
ALL STOP.

GOOD WORK, LEE.

SHARKEY, GET REPAIRS
UNDER WAY ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

THEY'RE NOT IN HERE.

GET A SEARCH PARTY.
FIND THEM.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

COME ON.
COME ON, COME ON.

COME ON. COME ON, COME ON.
GET IN.

[ Groans ]

[ Groans ]
SHUT UP. SHUT UP.

I CAN'T HELP IT.
IT HURTS SOMETHING
REAL AWFUL.

SO IT HURTS.

IT'S BAD, DOBBS.

WRAP THAT RAG AROUND IT.
THAT WON'T DO ANY GOOD.

I NEED A DOC.

WHO NEEDS A DOC?
YOU'RE NUTS.

LISTEN, IF THIS WAS YOU,
I'D TRY TO HELP YA. I WOULD.

SURE YOU'D HELP.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I-I'D TRY TO FIND A DOC.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

PICK UP THE PHONE
AND CALL SICK BAY?
FORGET IT.

[ Groaning ]

[ Mock Groaning ]

YOU MAKE ME SICK!

[ Latch Opens ]

[ Grunts ]

COME ON, COME ON!
I'M COMING, I'M COMING!

COME ON.

NOW, THOSE PLANS SHOWED
SOME PIPE GOING FROM ONE END
OF THIS TUB TO THE OTHER.

THERE SHOULD BE AN OPENING
SOMEPLACE AROUND HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YEAH. THAT'S IT.
OKAY, GO AHEAD.

HURRY.
[ Grunts ]
[ Groans ]

COME ON.

WELL, THAT SHOULD
JUST ABOUT DO IT.

SEE, THOSE BULLETS HIT
THE AUTOMATIC PRESSURE REGULATOR
IN THE MAIN BALLAST TANKS.

THE VALVES OPENED SO FAST,
THE SUDDEN INCREASE OF PRESSURE
MAY HAVE WEAKENED THEM.

NOW WE'LL TAKE IT EASY
UNTIL WE CAN BE SURE.
MM-HMM. GOOD.

WHAT ABOUT DOBBS AND HAWKINS?
A SEARCH PARTY'S
STILL COMBING THE SHIP.

IN THE MEANTIME, I CHECKED
THEM OUT WITH THE F.B.I.
[ Paper Rustles ]

THEY'VE GOT
QUITE A RECORD.
HMM.

"ROBBERY, KIDNAPPING,
MURDER."

PLUS THE GUARD THEY KILLED
DURING THEIR ESCAPE.

PASS THE WORD TO ALL HANDS.
DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES
WITH THESE TWO. SHOOT FIRST.

AYE, SIR.

HERE'S THE WHOLE
DAMAGE REPORT, SIR.
MM-HMM.

HMM. PRESSURE'S STILL
TOO HIGH.

WE'VE GOT TO
BLEED OFF THE AIR.

CAN WE FREE THE MAIN VENT
CONTROL MANUALLY?

WE CAN MAKE
A MIGHTY GOOD TRY AT IT, SIR.
HMM.

I'LL ASK FOR A VOLUNTEER
TO GO INTO THE TANK.
YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE, CAPTAIN.

CHIEF, I CAN'T RISK
LETTING YOU GO IN THERE.

CAPTAIN, YOU CAN'T RISK
SENDING ANYONE ELSE.

WE'RE ONLY GONNA GET
ONE CHANCE AT THESE VALVES.

I'VE FORGOT MORE ABOUT THEM
THAN MOST OF THESE GUYS
WILL EVER KNOW.

EH, CHIEF.
SIR?

GOOD LUCK.

ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI.
KEEP YOUR EYE PEELED
ON THAT GAUGE.

IF THE PRESSURE
GOES OVER 200 P.S.I.,
YOU SING OUT.

YOUR SCUBA RIG WON'T FUNCTION
MUCH ABOVE 220 P.S.I.
YOU WANT TO CUT IT THAT CLOSE?

[ Chuckles ]
I DON'T WANNA,
BUT I'M GONNA.

ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET GOING.

- YOU READ ME, KOWALSKI?
- LOUD AND CLEAR, CHIEF.

LOCATED THE VALVE.
WHAT'S THE PRESSURE NOW?

1-2-5 AND MOVING UP.
YOU HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TIME.

PRESSURE'S UP TO 1-9-0,
MOVING UP.

IF I DON'T GET THIS THING
LOOSENED, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT
BACK TO THE SURFACE.

I'M GONNA PUT THE TORCH ON IT.

CHIEF, PRESSURE'S UP TO 1-9-6.
NOW YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THERE
IF YOU'RE COMING.

[ Coughing ]

2-0-5 P.S.I., CHIEF.

SHARKEY, PRESSURE'S OVER 222!
YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THERE!

CHIEF?
CHIEF, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

CHIEF!

[ Coughing ]

CHIEF?

[ Coughing ]

CHIEF.

[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

YOU OKAY, CHIEF?
YEAH.

I THINK SO.

CAPTAIN.
TASK COMPLETED, SIR.

GOOD WORK, CHIEF.
PREPARE TO SURFACE.
AYE, AYE.

LOWEST PRESSURE.
BLOW MAIN TANKS.

[ Roaring ]

WE'RE CLEAR OF THE PLATEAU.
HOW'S THE PRESSURE HOLDING UP?

IT'S HIGH,
BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT.

HOLD HER STEADY
UNTIL WE EQUALIZE THE PRESSURE.

ALL STOP. HOLD TRIM.

THAT CREEP ADMIRAL'S THE ONE
THAT SHOT ME IN THE LEG.
THIS'LL EVEN THE SCORE.

ARE YOU CRAZY? COME ON.

YOU SHOOT HIM AND THEY'LL
LOCK THIS THING SO TIGHT,
WE'LL NEVER GET AWAY.

HEY, THIS DON'T LOOK
LIKE ANY PLANE
WE'VE EVER FLOWN BEFORE.

DON'T WORRY. DON'T WORRY.
ALL PLANES ARE THE SAME.

FIRST THING WE DO--

AND NOW--

[ Switch Clicks ]
OH, HERE'S A CHECKLIST.
LET'S JUST CHECK 'EM OFF.

ARE YOU SURE
YOU CAN DO IT?
START READING!

"ONE: OPEN KEEL HATCH."

KEEL HATCH OPEN.

"TWO: POWER ON."

POWER ON.

[ Whirring ]

JUST HOLD A COUPLE
OF MORE MINUTES.
THAT'S ALL I ASK.

IT'S ALL RIGHT SO FAR.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
SPARKS JUST GAVE ME THIS.

IT'S FROM WASHINGTON,
MARKED "URGENT."
OH, THANKS.

DEPTH 5-6-0 FEET.

WE'RE SLOWING DOWN.
CHECK THAT.

IT'S STARTING TO PICK UP AGAIN.
DEPTH 5-5-0 FEET
AND RISING A BIT FASTER.

AS LONG AS WE'RE STILL RISING.
WHAT'S WASHINGTON'S PROBLEM?

OH, CONGRATULATIONS
ON THE TEST FIRING.

THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW
SOON THEY CAN EXPECT OUR
GUIDANCE CONTROL REPORT.

THEY SHOULD SEE WHAT'S
GOING ON DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL 'EM?

WELL, IT DEPENDS. THE VALVES
ARE HOLDING SO FAR, AREN'T THEY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, OUR-- OUR CHANCES
ARE GETTING BETTER EVERY TIME.

ALL RIGHT. IF WE REGAIN FULL
CONTROL, THERE'S NO REASON WHY
WE CAN'T GO AHEAD WITH THE TEST.

I'LL NOTIFY WASHINGTON.

[ Thudding ]

THAT'S THE FLYING SUB.

DOBBS AND HAWKINS.
THEY'LL KILL THEMSELVES.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEM.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT
THE GUIDANCE DEVICE.

SPARKS, PUT ME THROUGH
TO THE FLYING SUB.
[ On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

HE'S TRYING TO FLY IT
LIKE A PLANE.

SEAVIEW TO FLYING SUB.
DOBBS, LET UP ON
YOUR LEFT RUDDER.

HE'S GONNA
TEACH ME TO FLY.

YOU'RE SLIPPING
OUT OF CONTROL!
HARD RIGHT!

DO AS HE SAYS!
SHUT UP! I'M TRYING!

EASE UP ON THE--
[ Speaker Off ]

BACK YOUR ENGINES.
TRY TO SURFACE.

[ Sparks On Speaker ]
IT'S NO USE, ADMIRAL.
THEY'VE TURNED OFF THE RADIO.

FOOLS. THEY'LL GO
STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO GO AFTER THEM
TO GET THAT GUIDANCE DEVICE.
UH-HUH.

THEY'VE DROPPED
BELOW THAT LEDGE
OUT OF SIGHT.

POWER'S OFF.
THE CONTROLS ARE LOCKED.
I CAN'T MOVE THEM!

WE'RE GONNA CRASH.

LOOK!

[ Roaring ]

WHAT IS IT?

[ Switch Clicks ]
NELSON! NELSON!

NELSON,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
GO AHEAD, DOBBS.

HELP US! SOMETHING'S GOT US!

[ Nelson ]
WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW!
IT'S-IT'S GIGANTIC!
IT'S-IT'S CRUSHING US!

NELSON!

LET'S GO, LEE.
WE'LL BE GOING BELOW
OUR CRUSH DEPTH.

THAT'S TAKING TOO MUCH
OF A CHANCE WITH OUR
WEAKENED BALLAST TANKS.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT GUIDANCE
DEVICE. IT'S THE PROTOTYPE.
THERE ARE NO OTHERS.

HELP US!
TAKE IT DOWN, MR. MORTON.
ALL THE WAY.

[ Morton ]
AYE, SIR. TO THE BOTTOM.

SO FAR SO GOOD.
CHIP, KEEP AN EYE
ON THIS PANEL.

LET ME KNOW
IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE
IN TANK PRESSURE.

THAT THING IS GONNA
TEAR US APART!

WHERE IS THAT
LOUSY SUBMARINE?
NELSON!

NELSON, WE CAN'T LAST
MUCH LONGER!

I'M NOT WAITING
FOR NO SUBMARINE.

I'M GETTIN' OUT OF HERE
BEFORE THAT THING CRUSHES
US LIKE AN EGGSHELL.

NO, YOU'RE STAYING!
YOU'RE STAYING! YOU OPEN
THAT HATCH AND WE'RE DONE FOR!

NOT ON YOUR LIFE, PAL!

SORRY, PAL!

NELSON! NELSON!

[ Nelson ]
BE THERE AS QUICK AS WE CAN.
THAT MAY NOT BE FAST ENOUGH!

[ Roaring ]

ALL STOP!
[ Morton ]
ALL STOP.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.

[ Crane ]
IT'S PLAYING WITH THE FLYING SUB
AS IF IT WERE A TOY.

YOU THINK YOU COULD KILL IT
WITH A LASER BEAM WITHOUT
HITTING THE FLYING SUB?

I THINK SO.

STAND BY TO FIRE
FORWARD LASER GUN.

AYE, SIR.
FULL LASER POWER ON.

MR. MORTON,
LEFT TWO DEGREES RUDDER.

AYE, SIR.
TWO DEGREES LEFT RUDDER.

WE'LL NEVER HAVE
A BETTER SHOT.
LASER, FIRE!

[ Roaring ]

LASER, FIRE!

DOBBS? HAWKINS?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

DOBBS? HAWKINS?
YOU ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE OKAY.

SO IS THAT THING.
IT'S STILL ALIVE.

LET'S START RECOVERY.
RIGHT.

WE'RE IN
RECOVERY POSITION, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.
BRING HER IN.
[ Switches Clicking ]

[ Roaring ]

WE'RE CLEAR OF IT.
[ Exhales ]

[ Explosion ]

THE BALLAST TANK.
THE MAIN TANK'S EXPLODED!

WE'RE FLOODING, LEE.

4,800 FEET
AND DROPPING.

COME ON!

IT'S NO USE!
WE CAN'T MANEUVER!

4,900 FEET
AND STILL DROPPING.

ENGINE ROOM,
CAN YOU REVERSE
THE DIVING PLANES?

[ Man On Speaker ]
I'VE BEEN TRYING, CAPTAIN.
THEY WON'T ANSWER SIGNALS.

THE PRESSURE'S TOO GREAT, LEE.
IT MIGHT SNAP OFF.
I KNOW.

HOW'S THE EMERGENCY
PRESSURE READING?

BAD, CAPTAIN.
THE NEEDLE'S PRACTICALLY
OFF THE DIAL.

BLEED THE LINE.
TIE HER DOWN.
AYE, SIR.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.

5,200 FEET
AND STILL DROPPING.

[ Hull Creaking ]

5,400 FEET
AND NO CHANGE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
HOLDING HER TOGETHER,
BUT,

WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S NOT GONNA HOLD
VERY LONG.

EMPTY PORT BALLAST TANKS
IN 10-SECOND BURSTS.
AYE, SIR.

WE HAVE TO
LIGHTEN SHIP, LEE.

IF WE JETTISON THE TORPEDOES
AND THE MISSILES, WE SHOULD
JUST ABOUT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

I'LL GET TO WORK ON THE
TORPEDOES. YOU GO DOWN TO THE
MISSILE ROOM AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

AYE, SIR.
OH, ADMIRAL?
YES?

WHAT ABOUT DOBBS AND HAWKINS?
THEY'RE ON THE FLYING SUB,
AND THEY'RE ARMED.

PUT A GUARD ON THE HATCH
AND KEEP 'EM THERE
FOR THE TIME BEING!

AYE, SIR. KOWALSKI!
GET A SIDEARM AND GUARD
THE FLYING SUB HATCH.

KEEP THEM DOWN THERE UNTIL
THEY'RE READY TO HAND OVER
THEIR GUNS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

MR. MORTON,
CLOSE ALL WATERTIGHT
DOORS AND HATCHES. SHARKEY?

SIR!
SEE IF YOU CAN CLOSE
THESE DOORS MANUALLY.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Morton On Speaker ] CLOSE ALL
WATERTIGHT DOORS AND HATCHES.

WATERTIGHT DOORS
AND BULKHEAD SECURED, SIR.

TORPEDOES DEACTIVATED
AND READY TO JETTISON.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE THIS THING
SINKS DOWN ANY FURTHER.

ALL RIGHT.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

PASS OUT YOUR GUNS,
BUTT FIRST.

SURE. SURE.

THEY'RE NO USE
TO US HERE.

[ Gunshot ]

WE'RE STILL LOCKED IN HERE.
WE'RE NO BETTER OFF
THAN WE WERE.

COME ON. GET THAT.
WE'LL GET OUT THE SAME WAY
THAT WE CAME IN. COME ON.

DON'T ANYBODY MOVE,
AND NOBODY GETS HURT.
WE'RE GETTIN' OUT OF HERE.

ALL RIGHT.
EVERYBODY AGAINST THAT WALL.

PUT THOSE GUNS AWAY. THERE'S--
THERE'S NO WAY TO GET OUT.

IF WE HAVE TO DO IT
OVER DEAD BODIES, WE WILL.

NOW MOVE!
NOT YOU, ADMIRAL.

YOU STAY.
HAWKINS, GET THE ESCAPE LUNGS
AND PUT 'EM IN THE HATCH.

WE'RE GETTIN' OUT
OF HERE, ADMIRAL,
AND YOU'RE COMING WITH US.

I'M NOT GOING
ANYWHERE WITH YOU.

NOW DO YOU GET THE IDEA?
YOU'RE COMING.

BUT YOU CAN'T GO OUT THERE.
THE PRESSURE'LL KILL YOU.

YOU EXPECT ME TO SWALLOW
THAT STUFF? COME ON.
WHAT IF HE'S TELLIN' THE TRUTH?

WE DO WHAT I SAY, DUMMY!
HE'S LYING!

I'M NOT LYING.
YOU WOULDN'T LAST
30 SECONDS.

LISTEN, MAYBE WE
SHOULD WAIT. MAYBE--

HAWKINS, YOU STUPID, GUTLESS--
GET AWAY FROM HIM!
GET AWAY FROM HIM!

- I CAN'T!
- GET AWAY FROM HIM!

DON'T GO OUT!
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!

SORRY, PAL.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

[ Water Rushing ]

[ Roaring ]

LEE!

ENGINE ROOM, ALL BACK.
EMERGENCY!

[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, AYE, SIR.

- LEE!
- YES, ADMIRAL?

WE'VE GOT TO BLAST LOOSE.

MANEUVER US
INTO FIRING POSITION.
AYE, SIR.

GIVE ME THREE MINUTES
TO SET THE MISSILE,
THEN I'LL FIRE AT YOUR COMMAND.

RIGHT!

ENGINE ROOM, STAND BY!
AYE, SIR.

ADMIRAL, ARE YOU
READY TO FIRE?

READY, LEE.
ALL RIGHT.
ON THE NEXT ROLL WE GO.

[ Groans ]
CHIP, GET ON THE PLANES!

ENGINE ROOM!
BACK EMERGENCY PORT ENGINE.
AHEAD FLANK STARBOARD ENGINE.

FIRE, ADMIRAL! FIRE!

[ Hissing ]

[ Weapon Fires ]

[ Shrieking, Roaring ]

[ Exhales Deeply ]
WE'RE FREE.

ALL AHEAD FLANK.
[ Man ]
ALL AHEAD FLANK.

THAT'S ONLY
A 10-SECOND-DELAY FUSE.
WE'RE GONNA FEEL A BLAST.

ALL HANDS,
BRACE FOR EXPLOSION.

AH, HOW'S KOWALSKI?
THE BULLET GRAZED HIM, BUT THE
DOC SAYS HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

UH-HUH.
BEFORE WE HEAD BACK
TO SANTA BARBARA,

LET'S MAKE
A 360-DEGREE SWEEP
OF THE AREA.

THERE'S A REMOTE
POSSIBILITY THAT DOBBS
MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.

[ Sighs ]
[ Chuckles ]
WELL, IF THERE'S
ANY CHANCE AT ALL,

WE HAVE TO
GIVE IT TO HIM.
I SUPPOSE SO.

BUT DO YOU SUPPOSE
HE WOULD HAVE DONE
AS MUCH FOR US?

I DON'T THINK THE IDEA WOULD
EVER HAVE OCCURRED TO HIM. HUMAN
LIFE MEANT NO MORE TO HIM THAN--

THAN TO THAT CREATURE.
THE TRAGEDY IS DOBBS MIGHT
HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE.

THE CREATURE
NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
BUT WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE DOBBS DIDN'T EITHER.
