Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 2, Episode 2 - Time Bomb - full transcript

THIS WEAPON IS
A HIGH-VELOCITY HYPOSPRAY...

CAPABLE OF INJECTING A LIQUID
INTO A HUMAN BODY...

THROUGH CLOTHING AND SKIN...

WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST
SENSATION WHATEVER.

AND MAY I DEMONSTRATE?

- [ Short Burst Of Air ]
- DID YOU FEEL ANYTHING?

- NOTHING.
- YET YOU WERE INJECTED...

WITH TWO MILLILITERS
OF DISTILLED WATER.

HARMLESS, OF COURSE.
REMARKABLE.

WHEN THE DISTILLED
WATER IS COMBINED
WITH UNSTABLE CESIUM...

AND INJECTED INTO
A HUMAN BODY,



IT WILL TURN IT
INTO A LIVING BOMB.

THIS CARTRIDGE CONTAINS
A MINUTE FRACTION OF CESIUM--

BUT IT WILL SERVE
AS A DEMONSTRATION.

[ Machine Buzzing ]

[ Short Burst Of Air ]

[ Mechanical Rattling ]
THE CESIUM HAS NOW
BEEN INTRODUCED...

INTO THE CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM...

WHERE IT WILL
REMAIN HARMLESS...

UNTIL TRIGGERED BY PROXIMITY
TO A NUCLEAR REACTOR.

WE WILL NOW INTRODUCE
A SMALL AMOUNT OF
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL...

INTO THE AREA.

[ Machine Whirring ]

I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE,
COMRADE,

THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE,
EVEN FOR US,



TO TAKE A NUCLEAR DEVICE
PAST THE BORDERS
OF THE SOVIET UNION.

IS THAT NOT SO?
IT IS.

THEREFORE, WE HAVE
DEVISED A PLAN,

A PLAN THAT WILL
CAUSE THE AMERICANS...

TO SEND A TOP AGENT
INTO A MOST SENSITIVE...

AREA OF THE SOVIET UNION.

OF COURSE, SOMEWHERE
ALONG THE WAY,

HE WILL HAVE BEEN INJECTED
WITH THE CESIUM SOLUTION.

AND THAT AGENT
BECOMES YOUR BOMB.

A BOMB 50 TIMES MORE POWERFUL
THAN THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB.

IT WILL TRIGGER
THE REGRETTABLE,

BUT NECESSARY, WAR...

BETWEEN YOUR COUNTRY
AND THE UNITED STATES,

FROM WHICH WE WILL EMERGE...

THE RULERS OF THE WORLD.

[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

JUST KEEP ON TAKING
CORE SAMPLES.

I'LL EITHER REJOIN YOU
OR YOU'LL GET NEW ORDERS.

ALL SET, CHIP?
READY TO GO, SIR.

WHAT ABOUT THE OFFICIAL
VISIT TO SAN CRISTÓBAL?
WE'LL CANCEL IT.

TELL THEM WE'RE HAVING
SOME KIND OF MECHANICAL TROUBLE
AND WE'RE RETURNING TO BASE.

AS SOON AS YOU CAN,
GET IN TOUCH WITH KATIE
AND HAVE HER SEND...

THE MATERIAL ON THIS LIST
TO WASHINGTON
ON THE MICROFILM RELAY.

I WANT IT WAITING FOR ME
WHEN I GET THERE.
WILL DO. HAVE A GOOD FLIGHT.

YOU'LL BE HEARING
FROM ME.

ALL RIGHT, CHIP.
LET'S GET STARTED.

SIR.
OKAY.

STARTING CHECKLIST.
[ Crane On Speaker ]
ROGER.

[ Air Hissing ]
JET INTAKES?

CLEAR. ROCKET ASSIST?

- RED AND FLASHING.
- WATERTIGHT HATCHES?

CLOSED AND LOCKED.

FUEL, 500 POUNDS.

- [ Electrical Whirring ]
- READY TO START ENGINES.

CLEAR TO START ENGINES.

[ Engines Rumbling ]

PREPARE TO LAUNCH.

READY TO LAUNCH.
LAUNCH CIRCUITS, GREEN AND GO.

VEHICLE, GREEN AND GO.
LAUNCH.

SPARKS, PATCH THE VIDEOPHONE
THROUGH TO SANTA BARBARA.

I'LL TAKE IT IN HERE.
[ Sparks ] AYE, AYE, SIR.

NELSON INSTITUTE TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME?

OVER.
READ YOU? I CAN
ALMOST TOUCH YOU.

[ Clears Throat ]
WILL YOU SCRAMBLE, PLEASE?

IT'S NO FUN
SCRAMBLING ALONE.

[ Rapid Beeping ]

[ Clears Throat ]
GO AHEAD, SEAVIEW.

KATIE, THE ADMIRAL'S BEEN
CALLED TO WASHINGTON.
IT'S VERY URGENT.

NOW HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE
THE FOLLOWING THERE AHEAD
OF HIM BY MICROFILM RELAY.

READY.

SHEETS 21, 27,

102 AND 105 THROUGH 181.

ALL IN SERIES 8000.

GOT IT.
SEND IT ON
TO NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,

ATTENTION,
VICE ADMIRAL JOHNSON.

THIS IS A TOUGH ONE,
HARRY.

I'M STILL WAITING
FOR AN EASY ONE.

ONE OF OUR TOP PEOPLE
INSIDE THE SOVIET UNION...

HAS WORD THAT THE RUSSIANS
ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH
A SUBSURFACE NUCLEAR DEVICE...

THAT'LL TOP ANYTHING
IN THE WORLD.

THEY'VE TRIED
THAT BEFORE.
NOT LIKE THIS.

ITS POTENTIAL IS
IN EXCESS OF 200 MEGATONS--

SELF-ACTIVATING,
MULTIDIRECTIONAL.

THEY JUST PUT ONE OF THESE
ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH OCEAN
AND THEY OWN THE WORLD.

WELL, IF THEY HAVE IT,

IT MAKES EVERY OTHER
WEAPONS SYSTEM OBSOLETE.

YES, SIR. INCLUDING
THE ONE YOU'RE WORKING ON NOW.

MM-HMM. THAT'S
ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT.

WHAT WE'VE GOT
TO KNOW, HARRY,
IS IF THEY CAN PULL IT OFF.

YOU'RE THE MAN
WHO CAN TELL US.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THEIR EXPERIMENTAL STATION
IS ON THE BLACK SEA--

A LITTLE TOWN CALLED GOROV.

OUR TOP AGENT IN
THE SOVIET UNION
WILL BE WORKING WITH YOU.

WHO IS THIS AGENT?
GET YOUR HAT.
I'LL INTRODUCE YOU.

I AM HAPPY TO MEET YOU.

MY PRIVILEGE.

ARE YOU ENJOYING
THE PAINTINGS, ADMIRAL?

UM, VERY MUCH.
[ Chuckles ]

I MUST SAY, I DON'T
ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THEM.

ONE DOES NOT TRY
TO UNDERSTAND.

ONE MERELY FEELS,
REACTS.

HERE. LET ME
SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

I HAVE MANAGED TO WORK
A MAP INTO THIS PAINTING.

IT IS THE BEST I CAN DO
UNTIL YOU GET TO MY STUDIO
IN GOROV.

YOU WILL BE THERE DURING
THE ANNUAL HYDRO-JET RACES.

SOMEHOW, WE WILL USE
THE RACES TO COVER YOUR MOVES.

NOW, THE DEEP BLUE AREA
REPRESENTS THE SOUTH END
OF THE COURSE.

TRY TO MEMORIZE
THESE LINES,

AS THEY ARE ACCURATE
LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
PARALLELS.

THIS GROUP OF BLACK DOTS
IS ROUGHLY THE AREA
YOU WILL HEAD FOR.

THEY ARE USING SEAWATER
TO COOL THE REACTORS,

AND THE INTAKE
IS SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA.
[ Footsteps ]

AND I AM PARTICULARLY
PROUD OF THE BLENDING
OF THIS RICH COBALT BLUE...

AND THE BURNT UMBER.
AH, YES, YES. I KNOW.

MOTHER EARTH
EMBRACING THE SEA.
[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ]
HOW FAR FROM THE SHORE
IS THAT AREA?

WELL, I'M NOT CERTAIN,

BUT IT WON'T BE
OVER A THOUSAND YARDS.

IS THERE LIKELY
TO BE ANY SECURITY--
THE AMBASSADOR JUST CAME.

HE'S LOOKING
FOR LITCHKA.
OH.

THANK YOU, ADMIRAL.

WE SHALL MEET AGAIN--
SOON.

I'LL BE LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT.

SHE'S MAGNIFICENT.

YOU KNOW, THIS ASSIGNMENT
IS BEGINNING TO LOOK BETTER.

YOUR PASSPORT.

ALONG WITH YOUR PASSPORT,
YOU'LL NEED YOUR SOVIET
IDENTITY CARD.

HMM.
YOUR SOVIET RATION BOOK.

AND YOUR LEAVE PAPERS.

WHAT ABOUT THE, UH--
THE UNIFORM?

WELL, THE UNIFORM--
YOUR SOCKS, SHOES,
UNDERWEAR, KEYS,

MONEY, VALISE,
OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS--

WILL BE SENT AHEAD
TO SEAVIEW.

NOW WE HAVE
A COUPLE OF SURPRISES.

WE'VE ESTABLISHED
THAT THIS BRAND IS A FAVORITE
WITH THE SOVIET NAVY.

NOW THESE ARE SIX
NORMAL CIGARETTES.

AND THESE FOUR ON THIS SIDE
ARE IDENTICAL TO THE OTHER
ONLY IN APPEARANCE.

ACTUALLY, EACH ONE OF THESE
IS A TINY OXYGEN CYLINDER...

WITH TWO MINUTES
OF OXYGEN IN EACH--

UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE,
OF COURSE.

YOUR BOYS ARE IMPROVING.

EACH CYLINDER IS THREADED
ON ONE END...

SO THAT IT WILL
FIT IN TO THE RE-BREATHER...

RIGHT HERE.

NOW IN ORDER TO USE
THE RE-BREATHER,
YOU PRESS THIS CATCH.

THAT RELEASES
THE RUBBER MOUTH GRIP.

ARE YOU READY
TO GO UNDERWATER?
[ Laughs ]

THAT'S NICE,
VERY NICE.

IN ACTUAL TESTS,
THE AVERAGE TIME TO ASSEMBLE...

HAS BEEN ABOUT 40 SECONDS.

THAT MEANS THAT THIS
CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED
WHILE UNDERWATER...

IN THE SPACE OF ONE BREATH.

OH, I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS IS A GENUINE
SOVIET TIMEPIECE--

COMMON AND INEXPENSIVE
AND IT ACTUALLY TELLS TIME.

HOWEVER, WE'VE REBUILT IT
SLIGHTLY.

NOW THE MOVEMENT HAS BEEN
REPLACED BY A SUPER-THIN UNIT...

POWERED BY A MICRO-ENERGIZER.

THE REMAINING SPACE HAS BEEN
USED TO ACCOMMODATE
THREE LETHAL DARTS...

PROPELLED BY TINY,
HIGH-PRESSURED GAS UNITS.

NOW IT'S ON SAFETY...

UNTIL YOU GIVE IT
THE QUARTER TURN.

AND YOU FIRE IT
BY DEPRESSING THE WINDER.

I'LL SHOW YOU.

IT MIGHT COME IN HANDY.
AT LEAST I'LL ALWAYS
KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS.

WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT,
HARRY.

TAKE SEAVIEW TO THE BLACK SEA
AND HAVE IT STAND BY
TO PICK YOU UP.

RIGHT.

AND GOOD LUCK.

SEE THAT YOU GET BACK
IN ONE PIECE.

THANKS.

BANG! BANG! YOU'RE DEAD,
MISTER. YOU'RE DEAD.
[ Air Hissing ]

[ Laughs ]

WE'RE ENTERING
THE BLACK SEA.

RIG FOR SILENT RUNNING.
YES, SIR.

ANYTHING ON DISTANT
SONAR, CHIEF?

NOTHING, CAPTAIN.
OH! HOLD IT.

DOUBLE CONTACT,
BEARING 2-7-0-7.

ENGINE ROOM,
ALL STOP.

SIR.

A PAIR OF SOVIET
DESTROYERS--
ODESSA CLASS.

DISTANCE,
2000 YARDS.

HEADING...
STRAIGHT FOR US, SIR.

CHIP.

TAKE HER DOWN
AND HUG THE BOTTOM.

PROGRAM SONAR DECOY.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

DESTROYERS, 1000 YARDS.

- WHAT'S OUR DEPTH?
- NINETY FEET AND WE'RE
ON THE BOTTOM, SIR.

WELL, THEY PROBABLY
HAVEN'T PICKED US UP
ON SONAR.

BUT WE'RE NOT DEEP ENOUGH.
THEY MAY HIT
OUR ANTENNA ARRAY.

DESTROYERS, 500 YARDS.

[ Rumbling ]

ALL RIGHT. HANG ON.
IT'S GONNA BE CLOSE.

DESTROYERS,

- 200 YARDS.
- [ Rumbling ]

[ Rumbling Grows Louder ]

[ Loudness Decreases ]

LET'S GET UNDER WAY,
MR. MORTON.

WE'LL STAY ON SILENT RUNNING
FOR THE TIME BEING.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

RIZA DIRECTLY BELOW.

WE'RE TURNING INLAND.

DROP SITE
IS ONE MINUTE AWAY.

ALTITUDE, 11,000 FEET.
WIND VELOCITY?

18 MILES AN HOUR.
IT'S GONNA BE A ROUGH LANDING.

JUST STAY THIS SIDE
OF THE BORDER.

WITH THAT WIND I'LL
DRIFT FIVE OR SIX MILES
INSIDE RUSSIA...

WITHOUT YOU VIOLATING
SOVIET AIRSPACE.

OPEN ESCAPE HATCH.

[ Mechanical Whirring ]
TEN SECONDS
TO DROP SITE, ADMIRAL.

GOOD LUCK.
YOU TOO, LEE.

FIVE, FOUR, THREE,
TWO, ONE.

GO!

[ Car Approaching ]

IDENTITY PAPERS.
YOUR PAPERS!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN THE STREETS AT THIS HOUR?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO GOROV.
GOROV?

THAT'S A LONG WAY.
WHY ARE YOU NOT
TRAVELING BY TRAIN?

UM, WELL, I MISSED
MY CONNECTION.

YOU ONLY HAVE
A 72-HOUR PASS.

YOU'LL SPEND
ALL YOUR TIME WALKING.

GET INTO THE CAR.
GET IN!

WE'LL TAKE YOU TO
THE ARMY MOTOR POOL.

THEY'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT
TO GOROV.

A SAILOR ON LEAVE HAS
BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN WALK, HUH?

[ Voice On Tape ]
WE WAITED OUTSIDE THIS BUILDING
UNTIL HE CAME OUT.

I THEN INJECTED HIM
WITH THE HYPOSPRAY.

TWO DAYS AFTER I COMPLETED
MY ASSIGNMENT ON ADMIRAL NELSON,
YOU PICKED ME UP.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

GET THIS MESSAGE
TO LITCHKA IN GOROV
RIGHT AWAY.

[ Speaking Russian ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]

OH! NO. THIS IS
WHERE I LIVE.

OH! YOU MEAN THIS IS
WHERE YOUR GIRL LIVES.

[ Laughing ]
COME ON.
LET'S HAVE A PARTY.

NO. NO. WE'LL HAVE
A PARTY TOMORROW.

TOMORROW. RIGHT?

[ Knocks ]

ALEKSEI!

[ Laughs ]
ALEKSEI!

HAVE A GOOD LEAVE!
AW, COME ON.

[ Laughter ]

YOUR TWO COMPANIONS
PROVIDED YOU WITH
EXCELLENT COVER, ALEKSEI.

YOU WERE PRETTY
CONVINCING YOURSELF.

I WISH I WERE
JUST A SAILOR ON LEAVE.

FOR TONIGHT YOU ARE,
ADMIRAL.

BUT, FIRST, WE WILL
HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.
I WILL ONLY BE A MINUTE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
YOU KNOW, IT'S REMARKABLE...

THAT SUCH A GREAT ARTIST
SHOULD ALSO BE--
A SPY, ADMIRAL?

I DO NOT AGREE.

TO BE EITHER,
ONE MUST BE A FANATIC.

I LOVE FREEDOM...

AS MUCH AS
I LOVE BEAUTY.

ABOUT BOTH,
I AM FANATIC.

SO AM I.

THE HYDRO-JET RACES
WILL BE IN TWO DAYS.

ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS
HAVE BEEN MADE.

BUT FOR NOW,

LET US NOT
BE FANATICS.

LET US FORGET OUR DUTY.

[ Mechanical Rattling ]

LITCHKA CLAIMS NELSON
NEVER REACHED HER. THAT
MEANS EITHER HE WAS...

PICKED UP BY THE SECRET POLICE,
OR, FOR SOME REASON,
HE COULDN'T CONTACT HER.

ISN'T THERE A THIRD
POSSIBILITY? LITCHKA
MIGHT BE A DOUBLE AGENT.

THEN SHE WOULDN'T
HAVE TOLD NELSON
THE MISSION WAS ABORTED.

SHE'D DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
TO MAKE CERTAIN HE REACHED
THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.

THERE ARE A LOT
OF POSSIBILITIES,
AREN'T THERE?

AND JUST ONE THING
WE CAN BE SURE OF--

SOMEONE'S GOT TO GET
TO NELSON BEFORE HE GETS
CLOSE ENOUGH TO THAT REACTOR...

TO ACTIVATE THE CESIUM
IN HIS BLOODSTREAM.

WE NEED SOMEONE HE KNOWS
AND WHO KNOWS HIM.

NOW WE'VE MADE ARRANGEMENTS
FOR YOU TO COVER THE GOROV
HYDRO-JET RACES...

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER
FOR PICTURE WORLD MAGAZINE.

WELL, I'M A PRETTY FAIR
AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER,

BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN PULL IT OFF.

YOUR CAPTION WRITER
WILL BRIEF YOU.
SHE'S ON HER WAY.

KATIE!
LEE!

I'M GLAD JOHNSON
THOUGHT TO SEND YOU.

SO AM I. ANY NEWS
OF THE ADMIRAL?
NO. NOTHING YET.

WILL YOU PUT THE EQUIPMENT
AND CASES ON THE TABLE
AND OPEN THEM, FRANCIS?

NO, NO. "SHARKEY." EVERYBODY
CALLS ME "SHARKEY."

MM-HMM. UH, THANK YOU,
SHARKEY.

YOU'RE WELCOME.
JOHNSON SENT SOME
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.

I'LL BRIEF YOU ON IT.
RIGHT.

THIS BOX YOU'RE TO KEEP
WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES.

IT CONTAINS CAMERAS,
FILM AND AN EXPOSURE METER.

INSIDE THE GADGET BOX,
A SMALL FLASH UNIT.

THIS FILM WE USE
FOR TAKING PICTURES.

THE OTHER SIDE CONTAINS
BOXES WHICH LOOK LIKE FILM,

BUT ARE ACTUALLY SMOKE BOMBS.

THEY'RE DETONATED
BY PRESSING THIS SPOT.

INSIDE THE HANDLE
OF THE FLASH UNIT,

ARE MASKS
AND BREATHING UNITS...

WHICH WE CAN ALSO
USE UNDERWATER.

THE LENS BRUSH IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
WE'VE GOT.

IT CONTAINS THE ANTIDOTE
THAT WILL NEUTRALIZE...

THE CESIUM 1,000
IN THE ADMIRAL'S BLOODSTREAM.

YOU'D BETTER CARRY IT
WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES.

I UNDERSTAND.
LEE,

OUR ORDERS ARE TO STOP
THE ADMIRAL FROM REACHING
THAT REACTOR ROOM.

WHATEVER THE COST.

THIS LENS MOUNT IS ACTUALLY
A HIGH-POWERED RIFLE--

ACCURATE TO WITHIN
500 YARDS.

IF WE CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH
TO GIVE HIM THE ANTIDOTE,

THEN YOUR ORDERS...

ARE TO KILL HIM.

TOMORROW MORNING AT DAWN,
YOU'LL REPORT
TO VASILY KARMOV...

WHO'S DRIVING
THE YUGOSLAVIAN ENTRY.

JUST BEFORE THE RACE,
YOU WILL TAKE HIS PLACE.

SOMETIME DURING THE RACE,
YOU WILL DELIBERATELY
ROLL THE BOAT OVER...

RIGHT HERE,

ABOUT 100 YARDS
FROM THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.

WELL, THAT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN
AT 200 MILES AN HOUR.

YOU MUST DO IT IN SUCH A WAY
THAT YOU WILL NOT BE HURT.

OH. JUST BADLY BRUISED.

UNDERWATER, YOU WILL SWIM
TO THIS SPOT.

THERE, 20 FEET BENEATH
THE SURFACE,

YOU WILL FIND THE INTAKE PIPE
THAT LEADS TO THE RESERVOIR...

FROM WHICH WATER IS PUMPED
TO COOL THE REACTOR.

ARE THERE ANY SHARP BENDS
OR OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE PIPE?

NO. WHEN YOU HAVE REACHED
THE RESERVOIR,

YOU WILL SWIM TO THIS POINT.

THAT IS THE ENTRANCE
TO THE REACTOR.

THERE WILL BE A GUARD
IN FRONT OF THE DOOR.

ONCE YOU HAVE DISPOSED OF HIM,
YOU WILL GO THROUGH THE DOOR
INTO THE REACTOR ROOM.

THEN, WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND OUT
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW,

YOU WILL RETRACE YOUR STEPS
AND RETURN HERE.

IS THAT CLEAR?
MM-HMM. PERFECTLY.

[ Engine Revving ]

WE'LL ONLY BE
A FEW MINUTES.

I'M WORRIED, LEE.
IT'S, UH, BEEN A BIT
TOO EASY SO FAR.

WHERE ARE THE SECRET POLICE?
DON'T YOU KNOW
THERE'S NO SUCH THING...

AS SECRET POLICE
IN THIS LOVELY COUNTRY?
OH!

THEN HOW COME THE DRIVER
KNEW EXACTLY WHERE
COMRADE LITCHKA LIVED?

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
THAT SHE'S GOROV'S
MOST FAMOUS CITIZEN.

OH.
HAVE YOU GOT
THE BUG?

YES.
GOOD. LET'S GO.

[ Buzzing ]

[ Buzzing Continues ]

[ Banging Loudly ]
COMRADE LITCHKA!

GO AWAY. I AM BUSY.

I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.

NO VISITORS TODAY.
I'M PAINTING.

I-I'M A FRIEND
OF THE ADMIRAL'S.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I'M FROM TRIANON GALLERIES.

COME IN.
COME IN.

YOU SHOULD NOT
HAVE COME HERE.

THE SECRET POLICE
ARE EVERYWHERE.

HAVE YOU ANY NEWS
OF ADMIRAL NELSON?

NO. THEY MUST
HAVE PICKED HIM UP.

IS THERE ANY WAY
WE CAN BE SURE OF THAT?
I HAVE TRIED.

THERE IS NO WAY.

THE SECRET POLICE DO NOT
REVEAL WHO THEY ARREST.

[ Sighs ]

I WAS JUST GETTING READY
FOR ANOTHER TRIP. IT SEEMS
ALL I EVER DO IS TRAVEL.

PLEASE GO NOW.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE
I CAN TELL YOU.

YES. WELL, UM,
I'M SORRY WE DETAINED YOU.

I UNDERSTAND.
YOU ARE NATURALLY WORRIED
ABOUT ADMIRAL NELSON.

WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW?
WE'RE GOING TO
THE HYDRO-JET RACES.

IF THE ADMIRAL IS THERE,
WE'VE GOT TO GET TO HIM...

BEFORE HE STARTS FOR
THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.

HE COULD NOT BE.
HOW COULD HE BE WITHOUT
HAVING CONTACTED ME?

WHO WOULD'VE MADE
THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR HIM?
HE'S A RESOURCEFUL MAN.

GOOD-BYE--
AND THANK YOU.

[ Over Earpiece ]
THIS IS COMRADE LITCHKA.

TWO AMERICAN SPIES,
A MAN AND A WOMAN,

WILL BE AT
THE BOAT RACE TODAY.

THE MAN IS TALL, WEARING
A BROWN CORDUROY JACKET--
[ Sighs ]

WHY DON'T WE INVITE
COMRADE LITCHKA TO ATTEND
THE RACES WITH US, HMM?

I AM SURE SHE'D BE...
DELIGHTED.

PLEASE LET ME GO.

I HAVE TOLD YOU NELSON
IS NOT HERE. YOU HAVE
LOOKED EVERYWHERE.

I AM NOT LYING.

THEN THERE'S NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT. JUST
RELAX AND ENJOY THE RACE.

IF YOU TELL US WHERE HE IS,
WE CAN STOP HIM BEFORE
HE GETS TO THE REACTOR.

IF YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE,
SAVE YOURSELF.

I THINK IT'S HIM.

IT IS HIM.

I'LL HAVE TO SHOOT HIM.

THERE'S TOO MUCH MOVEMENT.
SHOOT. KILL HIM.

IF HE GETS ANY NEARER,
THE EXPLOSION WILL KILL US ALL!

ONE MORE MOVE LIKE THAT
AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO WAIT
FOR AN EXPLOSION.

I CAN'T DO IT.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
ANOTHER WAY.

LOOK!

WE'VE GOT TO STOP HIM.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE FAST.

YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT.
WELL, YOU'D BETTER NOT TRY
AND SIGNAL ANYONE. LET'S GO.

WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE OTHER DRIVER?
HE WAS TAKEN ILL, SIR.

I WAS CALLED TO FILL IN
FOR HIM.

WELL, I, UH--
I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER
CAMERA OUT OF THE TRUNK.

UH, WOULD YOU GET
THAT CASE, PLEASE?

THAT ONE, SIR?
YES.

YES, SIR.
THAT ONE!

SO MUCH FOR OUR
POLICEMAN FRIEND.
WHAT ABOUT HER?

[ Scoffs ]
SHE'S LEARNING TO COEXIST.
AREN'T YOU, COMRADE?

AND SHE'S GONNA TELL US
HOW TO GET TO THAT
RESEARCH CENTER.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
THERE ARE GUARDS
AT ALL THE GATES.

YES, BUT THERE ARE GATES.
HOW MANY GUARDS?

SOMETIMES TWO,
SOMETIMES THREE OR FOUR.

IS THERE MUCH TRAFFIC
IN THE AREA?

THE ROAD ONLY GOES
TO THE SEA.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY.
IF THE ADMIRAL GOES INTO
THAT REACTOR ROOM,

THIS WHOLE AREA WILL GO UP
AND NONE OF US WILL GET OUT
OF THIS PLACE ALIVE.

PLEASE LET ME GO.
I BEG OF YOU.
I CANNOT HARM YOU NOW.

I'M SORRY, COMRADE.
WE NEED YOU HERE.

YOU'RE NOT MUCH, BUT YOU'RE
ALL THE TRADING STAMPS
WE'VE GOT AT THE MOMENT.

ALL RIGHT, KATIE.
YOU DRIVE.

ON THE FLOOR. WHEN WE GET
TO THE GATE, STALL.

WE'LL PLAY IT BY EAR
FROM THEN.

[ Engine Sputtering ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Clears Throat ]
UH, JUNIOR THERE
IS OUT FOR A WHILE.

UH, WHAT NOW?
TRY TO GET THE OTHER
GUARD OVER HERE.

[ Laughs ]
THAT MAY TAKE
MORE THAN A WIGGLE.

NOW IF YOU WANNA LIVE LONGER,
YOU'LL WORK WITH US,
NOT AGAINST US.

NOW DRIVE THE CAR IN
AND PARK AT THE END
OF THE LOADING DOCK.

WHILE YOU'RE WAITING,
GET IN TOUCH WITH MORTON
AND HAVE HIM BRING...

THE FLYING SUB AS CLOSE
TO SHORE AS HE CAN, GOT IT?
YES. RIGHT.

OKAY.

[ Engine Starts ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Clicks ]

[ Clicks ]

[ Grunting ]

LEE!

COME OVER HERE
BEHIND THESE BARRELS.

ADMIRAL, LISTEN TO ME.

LITCHKA'S NOT WHAT
YOU THOUGHT. SHE'S
A DOUBLE AGENT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW,
BUT BEFORE YOU LEFT
THE STATES,

YOU WERE INJECTED
WITH A SOLUTION
OF UNSTABLE CESIUM.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT
WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF
YOU'D GONE INTO THAT ROOM?

I CAN IMAGINE.
I HAVE THE ANTIDOTE.

IT'LL NEUTRALIZE
THE CESIUM INSTANTLY.

OKAY. GET ON WITH IT.
I STILL WANNA SEE
WHAT'S INSIDE THAT ROOM.

I'VE SEEN ALL I NEED TO.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
[ Alarm Ringing ]

[ Alarm Ringing Continues ]
[ Car Horn Honks ]

WELL, WHO'S MINDING
THE INSTITUTE?

[ Tires Screech ]
KATIE, THE RE-BREATHERS!

NELSON!

[ Crane ]
ADMIRAL!

WE'VE ONLY GOT THREE MASKS.
COME ON!

[ Vehicle Approaches ]
[ Tires Screech ]

[ Air Hissing ]

[ Car Doors Close ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunfire ]

CRACK THE HATCH.

IS THAT CALL THROUGH
TO WASHINGTON?
YES, SIR.

UH, JOHNSON.
THIS IS NELSON.

I, UH-- I'M FINE.
FINE, JOHNSON.

UH-HUH. UH-HUH.

WELL, UH, JOHNSON,
WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME
FOR A MINUTE?

I WANT YOU TO PUT
A CALL THROUGH TO
THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY...

THE MOMENT I HANG UP.

TELL THEM WE HAD A LITTLE
FRACAS AT THEIR BLACK SEA...

INTERGALACTIC
SPACE PROBE CENTER.

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.
A NUCLEAR-POWERED SPACE PROBE.

TELL THEM WE WERE ONLY
TRYING TO PREVENT IT
BEING DESTROYED.

I THINK
THEY'LL UNDERSTAND.

THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT.

THERE WAS NO WEAPON THERE,
JUST A COUPLE OF REACTORS.

BUT THE WHOLE SHOW WAS PUT ON
TO TRY TO PROVOKE A WAR.

IT ALMOST SUCCEEDED.

IF I'D WALKED INTO
THAT ROOM-- WELL, I'LL
FILL YOU IN LATER.

I WANNA GET INTO
SOME DRY CLOTHES.

JOHNSON HAS IT CONFIRMED.
LITCHKA WAS A DOUBLE AGENT.

SHE ALWAYS LOOKED EVIL.
DON'T YOU THINK SO, ADMIRAL?

NOT ALWAYS, KATIE.

NO. NOT, UH-- NOT ALWAYS.

LEE, WHEN YOU GET CHANGED,
COME DOWN TO MY CABIN.

YES, SIR, WITH PLEASURE.
I WANNA TELL YOU A STORY
ABOUT A BROKEN WATCH CRYSTAL...

THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE.
