Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 3, Episode 1 - Monster from the Inferno - full transcript
A strange intelligent organism is found at the bottom of the ocean. Once brought on Seaview the real threat the creature represents is realized. Suddenly every life on board the Seaview is in danger.
HMM. IT'S FANTASTIC.
THE CLOSER WE GET,
THE MORE THESE READINGS
RESEMBLE HUMAN BRAIN WAVES.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
WHATEVER IT IS,
THESE RADIATION LIGHTS
ARE BUILDING RAPIDLY.
IT'D BE DANGEROUS
TO GET ANY CLOSER.
MAYBE WE WON'T HAVE TO.
LET'S SEE WHAT
LINDSAY'S DOING.
LINDSAY, THIS IS NELSON.
YOU LOCATED THE SOURCE
OF THAT RADIATION YET?
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
HARD TO BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS CAUSED A THOUSAND-MILE
COMMUNICATION BLACKOUT.
CAPTAIN.
THE HULL'S GETTING PRETTY HOT
FROM THAT RADIATION.
ALL STOP.
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.
- WHAT DOES IT
SEEM TO BE, LINDSAY?
- STONE.
[ Lindsay ]
IT'S IN TWO SEGMENTS.
ALMOST LIKE A HUMAN BRAIN.
[ Nelson ]
DOES IT SEEM TO BE FLOATING...
OR IS IT CONNECTED
TO THE ROCK?
CAN'T TELL.
I'M GOING TO HIT IT WITH THE
LASER BEAM TO SEE WHAT RESPONSE
WE GET IN RADIATION LEVEL.
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
DAMAGE CONTROL.
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT!
CHIP, CHECK
OUT THE DAMAGE.
RIGHT AWAY.
COME ON, CHIEF.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
COME ON.
WHAT ABOUT LINDSAY?
I CAN'T GET A PICTURE.
I DON'T THINK HE COULD HAVE
SURVIVED, BUT WE'D BETTER
MAKE A RESCUE ATTEMPT.
RIGHT. I'LL GO.
COME ON, KOWALSKI.
[ Crane ]
ALL RIGHT, LINDSAY,
START BACK.
THE REACTOR'S
BEHAVING ERRATICALLY.
SHARKEY'S CHECKING IT NOW.
BUT WE SHOULD HAVE POWER
IN A FEW MINUTES.
GOOD. GOOD.
THAT ROCK FORM OUT THERE
IS STILL ACTIVE.
IT'S TOO ACTIVE FOR MY TASTE.
WHATEVER IT HIT US WITH
PACKS A REAL WALLOP.
BUT IT DIDN'T KILL LINDSAY.
HE'S STILL ALIVE?
YEAH. LEE'S BRINGING HIM
ABOARD NOW.
[ On Speaker ] MISSILE ROOM
TO ADMIRAL. CAPTAIN CRANE
IS APPROACHING THE ENTRY HATCH.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
NO. NOT NOW. WE HAVE TO
BRING THAT ROCK ABOARD.
ADMIRAL, THAT CREATURE
IS A LIFE-FORM. IT'S ALIVE.
IT'S SOMETHING NO MAN
HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.
IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT ALMOST
KILLED YOU AND NEARLY DESTROYED
SEAVIEW AND EVERYONE ABOARD.
BECAUSE I HIT IT
WITH A LASER BEAM.
I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS ALIVE.
BUT NOW THAT WE KNOW,
WE CAN AND MUST BRING IT
ABOARD FOR STUDY.
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
NOW GET TO SICK BAY AND HAVE
THE DOCTOR CHECK YOU OUT.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BRING
THAT ROCK ABOARD, ARE YOU?
WE'RE HERE INVESTIGATING
A COMMUNICATIONS BLACKOUT
FOR THE NAVY.
IF THAT ROCK IS THE CAUSE,
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
HOW AND WHY.
BUT WE'VE ALREADY
SEEN HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
WHY DON'T WE JUST DESTROY IT?
BECAUSE IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE
A FORM OF LIFE, IT COULD BE
A PHENOMENAL DISCOVERY.
BUT HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY...
AND IF IT'S A LIFE-FORM,
WE CAN CONTROL IT WITH DRUGS,
AND WE'LL BUILD SOME KIND OF
SHIELDING AGAINST THE RADIATION.
MEANWHILE, LET'S CHECK
OUR INSTRUMENTATION, SEE HOW
OUR FRIEND IS DOING OUT THERE.
[ Male Voice ]
RISE. RISE.
WHO'S THAT?
WHO'S TALKING?
IN THE WATER,
I ENTERED YOUR MIND.
THE CREATURE IN THE PIT?
YES.
IN YOUR WORDS
FROM YOUR MIND, I LEARN.
I SPEAK TO YOU ALONE.
ALONE?
THE OTHERS CAN'T HEAR YOU?
NO. ONLY YOU.
YOUR MIND IS MINE.
YOU WILL DO WHAT I TELL YOU.
YES. I WILL DO
WHAT YOU SAY.
I AM PURE INTELLIGENCE.
I HAVE NO BODY.
YOU WILL SEE TO IT
I AM BROUGHT ABOARD.
THEN THIS CREATURE OF IRON
AND STEEL, THIS SUBMARINE,
WILL BECOME MY BODY.
THEN I CAN MOVE AS MEN MOVE.
I WILL SEE TO IT YOU'RE
BROUGHT ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.
NOW.
IF THEY REFUSE?
YOU WILL BRING ME ABOARD.
I ORDER IT.
OH, IT HAS TO BE ALIVE, LEE.
THE RESEMBLANCE TO HUMAN BRAIN
WAVE PATTERNS IS TOO CLOSE.
BESIDES, THERE'S JUST NO OTHER
WAY OF RECORDING AN ELECTRICAL
RADIATION PATTERN LIKE THIS.
IT COULD BE A SEPARATE
EARTH EVOLUTIONARY LINE...
OR, UH... OR MAYBE SOMETHING
FROM ANOTHER WORLD,
FROM OUTER SPACE.
WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S DEADLY.
LEE, THERE MIGHT BE MORE OF
THOSE OUT THERE. WE SHOULD
KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.
- ADMIRAL.
- LINDSAY. YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE IN SICK BAY.
THE DOCTOR GAVE ME
A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
GIVE ME THREE MEN
AND THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT,
AND I'LL HAVE THAT CREATURE
ABOARD IN TWO HOURS.
NOT WITHOUT SOME PROTECTION
AGAINST ITS RADIATION.
WE CAN DEVISE
SOME SORT OF SHIELDING.
A MAGNETIC FORCE WOULD DO IT.
BESIDES, YOU HAVE
THE NECESSARY UNITS.
THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
WE WERE TESTING
ON OUR WAY HERE.
IT MIGHT WORK AT THAT. LEE.
I'LL ORGANIZE A PARTY.
[ Lindsay ]
THE RADIATION LEVEL IS DROPPING.
THERE'S REALLY NO DANGER.
[ Crane ]
STAY BEHIND THE SHIELD, LINDSAY.
[ Crane ]
ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI,
THROW THE NET OVER.
IT SEEMS ALMOST DORMANT AGAIN.
THAT'S THE ELECTROMAGNETIC
SHIELDING.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
I CUT THE POWER OF THE SHIELD.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
THE RADIATION
INCREASES SHARPLY.
WE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY
OF GROUNDING ITS ENERGY.
NOW LET'S HAVE
THOSE METER READINGS.
UH, 30 DEGREES.
1,500 OHMS.
THIRTY DEGREE OSCILLATION,
8,527 VOLTS.
SALINITY FACTOR...
24.
ELECTRICAL PEAKING WATTAGE...
240.
TEMPERATURE REACHING
PLATEAU OF 99 DEGREES.
LINDSAY, TURN UP
THE MAGNETIC SHIELD.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
[ High-pitched Tone Stops ]
WELL, THAT WAS CLOSE.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
HOLD THAT SHIELD VALUE
AT A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL.
OF COURSE. I'M SORRY.
LOOK AT THIS.
THAT LAST BIT OF TAPE
ON THE ENCEPHALOGRAPH
SHOWS SUDDEN ACTIVITY.
IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH
IT ATTACKED DELIBERATELY.
IT OBVIOUSLY HAS A LARGE ENERGY
CONTENT, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T
STRONG ENOUGH TO BE A DANGER.
I'M NOT SO SURE. I'M GONNA PUT
EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THIS
CREATURE INTO THE COMPUTER.
DON'T CALL IT THAT,
ADMIRAL.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE IT'S
AN INTELLIGENT BEING.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
- YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT,
LINDSAY?
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
WELL, YOU HAD A PRETTY
ROUGH TIME OUT THERE.
MAYBE YOU BETTER
CHECK BACK INTO SICK BAY
AND HAVE THE DOCTOR...
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME, NELSON.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
GO BACK TO RUNNING THIS BOAT
AND LET ME HANDLE THESE TESTS?
RIGHT NOW,
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
CAPABLE OF HANDLING THEM.
YOU FORGET I'M ABOARD...
BECAUSE THERE'S
A RADIOACTIVE COMMUNICATION
BLACKOUT IN THIS AREA.
THE NAVY PUT ME HERE
BECAUSE I'M A SPECIALIST
IN ELECTRONIC ENERGY.
THERE'S NO ONE
MORE CAPABLE THAN I OF...
WHAT IS IT, LINDSAY?
HERE.
[ Panting ]
I'M SORRY, ADMIRAL.
PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES.
TH-THE EXCITEMENT OF THIS...
THIS DISCOVERY AND...
AND THE SHOCK I HAD...
FOR A MOMENT OR TWO
I FORGOT MYSELF.
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. IT'S ALL
THE MORE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD
CHECK BACK WITH THE DOCTOR.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND I WILL.
JUST AS SOON AS I DOUBLE-CHECK
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
YOU'VE ESTABLISHED.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, ADMIRAL.
I'M FINE NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU PROCESS THE DATA?
I'LL JOIN YOU AFTER
I'VE SEEN THE DOCTOR.
ALL RIGHT, LINDSAY.
- [ Door Closes ]
- YOU ALMOST MADE
A VERY BAD MISTAKE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO DO
BETTER IN THE FUTURE.
YOU MUST BE MORE EFFICIENT,
LESS EMOTIONAL.
I WILL TRY.
AND AFTER ALL,
I DID GET YOU ABOARD.
YES. BUT I MUST
CONTROL THE CREW.
EVERY MAN ON BOARD
MUST BE MY SLAVE,
AS YOU ARE MY SLAVE.
WITH ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE
AND ENERGY, AND THE SEAVIEW
AS MY BODY,
I CAN DO ANYTHING.
TURN DOWN THE MAGNETIC SHIELD
SO THAT I MAY START TO
TAKE OVER THE SEAVIEW.
IS THE SEAVIEW NOW YOUR BODY?
IT SOON WILL BE.
BUT THERE IS MORE I WANT.
WHAT?
IN TIME, THERE SHALL BE
OTHERS LIKE ME,
AND THEN MAN
WILL LIVE TO SERVE US,
AND ONLY TO SERVE US.
I GROW IN POWER
ALL THE TIME.
FEEL MY POWER.
LISTEN AND REMEMBER:
YOU WILL DO AS I ORDER.
YOU WILL NOT FAIL.
THIS SHIP WILL BE MY BODY,
AND EVERY MAN ON BOARD
WILL BE MY SLAVE.
ANYTHING UNUSUAL, LEE?
WELL, THE LIVE STEAM
COMING UP FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR
HAS PRACTICALLY STOPPED,
AND THE, UH, WATER TEMPERATURE
HAS BEEN DROPPING EVER SINCE
WE TOOK THAT CREATURE ABOARD.
OTHER THINGS
HAVE CHANGED TOO.
YOU MEAN LINDSAY.
YEAH. IT WORRIES ME.
DESPITE WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS,
I'M NOT SURE HE'S RECOVERED.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
HIS, UH... HIS WALK,
HIS MANNER OF TALKING.
HE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE
THE SAME MAN, DOES HE?
HE'S COMPLETELY LOST
HIS SCIENTIFIC DETACHMENT.
I'M NOT SURE THAT, UH,
WE CAN DEPEND ON HIS JUDGMENT
ABOUT THAT THING IN THE LAB.
DO YOU, UH, STILL THINK IT
CAME FROM ANOTHER PLANET?
IT COULD HAVE.
THAT'S WHY I WANT A TEAM
OF DIVERS READY TO GO INTO
THE PIT TOMORROW MORNING.
I'LL SET IT UP.
NOW, UH, WHAT DO YOU
WANT THEM TO DO?
UH, TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS
OF THE ENTIRE
OCEAN FLOOR AROUND IT,
MAKE A CAREFUL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
OF THE WATER AND THE ROCK...
AND SEARCH FOR, UH,
WELL, SOME KIND OF A VEHICLE.
CONSIDER IT DONE.
BUT, YOU KNOW,
I'M NOT REALLY SURE...
[ High-pitched Tone ]
YOU HEARD THAT?
YES.
THE BRAIN?
COULD HAVE.
IT MAY BE TELEPATHIC.
PERHAPS IT SENT OUT
A THOUGHT PROBE.
IF IT HAS THAT POWER...
IF IT DID COME
FROM ANOTHER PLANET...
THAT'S RIGHT, LEE.
IT COULD BE
THE MOST IMPORTANT,
AS WELL AS THE MOST DANGEROUS,
THING ON EARTH.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
[ Male Voice ]
WAKE UP.
IT IS TIME FOR ME TO LEARN
WHAT KNOWLEDGE THERE IS
IN THE COMPUTER BANKS.
YOU WILL TURN THEM ON SO I CAN
DRAIN THEM OF ALL INFORMATION.
THEN THE SEAVIEW WILL BE MINE.
THERE WILL BE MEN ON WATCH.
IF SO, YOU WILL
DISPOSE OF THEM. GO!
WELL, HOW WILL YOU
MAKE CONTACT?
THROUGH YOU, MY ENERGY PROBE
WILL ALLOW ME TO CONTACT
THE COMPUTER.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
MUST BE A SHORT
IN THE COMPUTER WIRING.
CHECK THE CIRCUITRY ROOM.
[ Male Voice ] IT IS OVER.
ALL THAT WAS IN THE COMPUTER
IS KNOWN TO ME.
THE SEAVIEW IS
NOW TRULY MY BODY.
LEAVE. QUICKLY.
SHE'S DEADER THAN A TWO-CENT
FLASHLIGHT BATTERY, SIR.
AH, IT'S WORSE.
THE TAPES ARE BLANK.
EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION STORED
IN THESE COMPUTER BANKS IS GONE.
THERE'S NO WAY TO DO THAT,
NOT THE WAY IT'S ENGINEERED.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
BUT IT'S STILL TRUE.
CHIP, WHAT'S THE REPORT
FROM THE CIRCUITRY ROOM?
SOMETHING WRONG DOWN THERE?
CHIEF, COME ON!
HE'S STILL ALIVE.
GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
YOU BET, SIR.
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
ANY IDEA
WHAT CAUSED IT, DOC?
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DOUBT
IT WAS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
THE BURNS ON THE CLOTHING
AND HIS BACK,
THE TRAUMATIC CONDITION
ARE ALL INDICATIVE.
I'LL GIVE HIM SOME SEDATION.
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,
AND HE'LL BE BACK ON
ACTIVE DUTY IN THE MORNING.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
SOMETHING WRONG, ADMIRAL?
NO. I SUDDENLY REALIZED
I HAD A BLINDING HEADACHE.
YOU WERE NOT SEEN?
I DON'T THINK SO.
I HAD A LITTLE DIFFICULTY
WITH COMMANDER MORTON,
BUT I'M SURE HE DIDN'T SEE ME.
- YOU DID WELL.
- YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED
FROM THE COMPUTER?
YES. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION
I NEED TO OPERATE MY NEW BODY,
THIS THING OF TITANIUM
YOU HUMANS CALL A BOAT,
A SUBMARINE.
THEN YOU'RE FINISHED WITH ME.
NO. UNTIL I CAN BUILD UP
MY ENERGY POTENTIAL,
I NEED THE ASSISTANCE
OF A HUMAN WHO ALSO KNOWS
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOAT.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT!
BUT THERE IS SOMEONE
ABOARD WHO DOES.
AND HAVING JUST PROBED NELSON'S
MIND, I KNOW WHAT MAN I WANT...
CAPTAIN CRANE.
- WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?
- YOU WILL BRING HIM HERE TO ME.
NO!
[ High-pitched Tone ]
YOU WILL DO
AS I WISH IMMEDIATELY,
OR YOU SHALL BE DESTROYED!
NOW GO.
CAPTAIN, I'VE BEEN
HEARING SCUTTLEBUTT...
THAT A SPECIAL RESEARCH TEAM
IS GOING OUT IN THE MORNING.
THAT'S RIGHT.
MOSTLY PHOTOGRAPHIC
AND CHEMICAL EXPERTS.
I'VE PREPARED SOME SPECIAL
INSTRUMENTATION. MAYBE YOU'D
LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT WITH ME.
OH, I'D BE GLAD TO
WHEN THIS WATCH IS OVER.
GO AHEAD, LEE.
I'LL TAKE THE CONN OVER.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
UH, LINDSAY.
HOW'S THAT THING BEHAVING?
IT'S QUIET NOW, ADMIRAL.
THE MAGNETIC SHIELDING
HAS IT ENTIRELY IN CHECK.
- IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE,
YOU LET ME KNOW AT ONCE.
- OF COURSE.
YOU'RE, UH... YOU'RE SURE
THIS SHIELDING CONTROLS
ANY ENERGY THAT THING HAS?
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
CHECK THE INSTRUMENTS
FOR YOURSELF.
[ Male Voice ]
HE WILL BE THE SECOND ONE
TO SERVE ME.
HE CAN'T HEAR ME.
NOT UNLESS I WISH IT
CAN I BE HEARD.
EVERYTHING SEEMS
TO BE HOLDING, YEAH.
THERE IS NO WAY FOR
ITS POWERS TO PASS BEYOND
THE MAGNETIC SHIELDING.
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, CAPTAIN.
ALL RIGHT.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
[ Body Hitting Floor ]
CLOSE THE DOOR
AND LOCK IT.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
GOOD. I HAVE LEARNED WHAT
MY POWER SOURCE SHALL BE.
I WILL MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE NUCLEAR REACTOR.
WHY THE REACTOR?
FOR ENERGY.
IF I USE THE REACTOR PROPERLY,
MY ENERGY SOURCE
WILL BE UNLIMITED.
I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THAT.
WHY DON'T YOU RELEASE ME?
I TOLD YOU I STILL
HAD USE FOR YOU.
YOU HAVE ALL THE POWER YOU WANT.
I BROUGHT CRANE TO YOU.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE
I CAN DO TO HELP.
ENOUGH!
OR I WILL DISPOSE
OF YOU RIGHT NOW!
NOW STAND AWAY FROM ME.
I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW MUCH
OF MY ENERGY CORONA
A HUMAN CAN STAND.
YOU'LL DESTROY US!
I FEEL THE ENERGY.
IT'S SWELLING WITHIN ME.
POWER WILL BE MINE.
POWER WILL BE MINE!
HELP HIM UP.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU ARE NOW THE SLAVE,
AND I AM THE MASTER.
YES.
YOU WILL NOW
BE ABLE TO HEAR ME,
AND I WILL BE ABLE TO READ EVERY
SINGLE THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND
WHENEVER I WISH.
I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT.
IT IS NOW MY WISH
TO LEAVE HERE.
YOU WILL SEE TO IT THAT
THE SEAVIEW GETS UNDER WAY
IN THE MORNING.
YES.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT,
SIR.
I RAN INTO THE CIRCUITRY ROOM
AND WAS TESTING SOME SWITCHES,
AND THEN SUDDENLY
EVERYTHING BLANKED OUT.
PROBABLY AN ACCIDENTAL CONTACT.
FORTUNATELY, IT WASN'T
ANY WORSE, CHIP.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
ADMIRAL?
WE'RE STILL
WORKING ON THE REPAIRS.
IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO LONG NOW.
WE'LL MAKE THE REPAIRS
UNDER WAY.
UNDER WAY?
BUT WE'RE NOT NEARLY THROUGH
WITH OUR RESEARCH HERE.
AFTER WHAT'S HAPPENED, WE'RE
THROUGH. I'M PUTTING BACK TO
SANTA BARBARA IMMEDIATELY.
UH, EASY, LEE. EASY.
THERE WASN'T ANY SERIOUS DAMAGE.
- WE HAVE AN EXPLORATION PARTY
GOING OUT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
- BELAY IT.
A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
TO THE CREW AND THE SEAVIEW
EXISTS IN THIS AREA.
PREPARE TO GET UNDER WAY.
COURSE 2-8-0, DEPTH 100 FEET.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
280 WON'T TAKE US
BACK TO SANTA BARBARA, SIR.
WE'LL BE HEADING
TOWARD AUSTRALIA.
YEAH, I KNOW.
SET THE HEADING.
MORNING, ADMIRAL.
MORNING.
THE ENERGY BUILDUP
HAS DOUBLED SINCE WE BROUGHT
THAT THING ABOARD.
WHEN I HIT IT
WITH THE LASER BEAM,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN DORMANT.
SINCE THEN IT'S BECOME,
WELL, FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD,
CONSCIOUS, ALIVE,
EVER GROWING.
ENERGY WOULD NATURALLY BUILD UP.
INCREASE THE STRENGTH
OF THE MAGNETIC SHIELDING.
OH, I HARDLY THINK
THAT'S NECESSARY, ADMIRAL.
INCREASE IT, LINDSAY.
DOUBLE THE OUTPUT.
AND KEEP IT THAT WAY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LET THAT
INTELLIGENCE REGAIN POWER.
THIS IS CHIEF SHARKEY, ADMIRAL.
COULD YOU COME TO
THE REACTOR ROOM RIGHT AWAY?
TURN THE SHIELDING
DOWN AGAIN.
TURN IT DOWN!
NO. NO, I'M NOT
GOING TO DO IT.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFY ME?
I'M THROUGH OBEYING
YOUR COMMANDS.
YOU'RE DANGEROUS. EVIL.
ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS DESTROY.
I'M GONNA TURN UP THE SHIELDING
AND DESTROY YOU.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
NO LONGER CAN YOU DEFY ME.
YOUR WILL TO RESIST
IS NOW GONE.
NOW, NOT ONLY WILL I DESTROY,
BUT YOU WILL DESTROY FOR ME.
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
IN THE REACTOR ROOM?
[ Sharkey ]
WE'VE GOT A POWER LOSS
AND CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, SIR.
HOW MUCH?
ABOUT 15% AND FALLING SLOWLY.
I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.
AND I'VE HAD TO STEP UP
THE OUTPUT OVER 15% JUST
TO KEEP THE POWER LOSS DOWN.
SEE, SIR?
UH-HUH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT, UH...
THAT POWER, IT JUST DOESN'T,
UH, DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR.
UH, NO, SIR.
WELL, IT'S, UH...
IT'S GOING SOMEWHERE, CHIEF.
YES, SIR. I WOULD
SAY SO, SIR. YES, SIR.
ANY IDEA WHERE?
NO, SIR.
WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
SINCE THIS THING FLIPPED
ITS WIG LAST NIGHT,
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
FIGURE OUT A THING ABOUT IT.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
A 15% LOSS OF
REACTOR POWER AND NO CLUE.
WE CAN LIVE WITH 15% LOSS.
[ Nelson ]
OF COURSE WE CAN.
BUT THE LOSS IS INCREASING.
AND IF IT CONTINUES THIS WAY,
WE'LL SOON REACH THE POINT
WHERE WE CAN'T LIVE WITH IT.
THEN WE'LL HAVE TO COMPENSATE.
CHIEF, BUILD THE REACTOR OUTPUT
AND KEEP BUILDING IT
TO HOLD POWER.
- THAT'S, UH, TRICKY,
CAPTAIN, AND DANGEROUS.
- THAT'S AN ORDER!
YES, SIR.
I'LL CHECK OUT
THE CONTROL ROOM, CHIEF.
YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU
FIND ANYTHING HERE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
UH, CHIEF.
UH, BEFORE YOU, UH...
BEFORE YOU NOTIFY THE ADMIRAL,
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT.
I THINK WE GOT IT.
BUT IT SURE BEATS ME AS TO WHAT
HAPPENED HERE WHEN COMMANDER
MORTON GOT KNOCKED OUT.
I THINK WE BETTER DOUBLE-CHECK.
[ On Speaker ]
PATTERSON, THIS IS THE ADMIRAL.
HOW ARE YOU DOING
WITH THE REPAIRS?
WELL, SO FAR, EVERYTHING'S
CHECKING A-OKAY, SIR.
YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR
POWER SOURCE, PATTERSON.
WE'RE GETTING A LOSS
IN THE REACTOR ROOM.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
KEEP YOUR EYE
ON THE VOLTAGE FLOW
FROM THE REACTORS.
I'M GONNA CHECK BACK
THROUGH THE POWER LINES.
OKAY, PAT.
HEY, PRETTY FAST TRIP, PAT.
I SAID THAT
WAS A PRETTY FAST...
HEY, WHAT GIVES?
HEY, THIS IS NO TIME
FOR GAMES, PAT.
WE BETTER START
CHECKING THE POWER FLOW
LIKE THE ADMIRAL SAID.
WE'RE GONNA BE HERE
ALL NIGHT... PAT, NO!
CHIP, I'D LIKE TO TRY
A CHANGE OF COURSE.
YES, SIR.
CHANGE FIVE DEGREES
TO 285.
FIVE DEGREES TO 285.
THERE'S NO RESPONSE TO HELM.
[ Nelson ]
TEST IT YOURSELF, CHIP.
[ Morton ] NOTHING.
SHE WON'T RESPOND.
[ Nelson ] TRY THE PLANES.
NO RESPONSE TO
PLANES CONTROL EITHER.
AND YET SHE'S HOLDING STEADY
AND TRUE AT A DEPTH OF 100 FEET
ON COURSE 2-8-0.
YES, SIR.
ALL RIGHT, CHIP.
COME FORWARD WITH ME.
WHY DO YOU THINK
THE CONTROLS DON'T RESPOND?
IT MIGHT BE CAUSED
BY THE POWER LOSS.
AND I BELIEVE IT'S
SOMETHING ELSE. I, UH...
I THINK SEAVIEW
HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER.
TAKEN OVER?
NOW THINK ABOUT IT, CHIP.
THE DAMAGE WE SUFFERED
IN THE PIT AREA,
YOUR, UH, SO-CALLED ACCIDENT
IN THE CIRCUITRY ROOM,
COMPUTER TAPES WIPED CLEAR,
LOSS OF REACTOR POWER,
CONTROLS COMPLETELY
MALFUNCTIONING.
IT BUILDS UP TO
A PRETTY STRONG CASE, BUT...
THERE'S MORE.
LINDSAY... AND CRANE.
THEY'RE NOT ACTING NORMALLY,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN. MAYBE
THE STRAIN WE'VE BEEN UNDER...
NOT WHEN YOU TIE IT IN
WITH THE REST. THEY'VE
BEEN TAKEN OVER TOO.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT
CREATURE THAT WE HAVE ON BOARD.
THAT'S RIGHT. NOW LINDSAY
SAYS IT'S PURE INTELLIGENCE,
AND I THINK HE'S RIGHT.
IT'S MORE POWERFUL, MORE
DANGEROUS, INTELLIGENCE THAN YOU
AND I COULD EVER DREAM OF.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
THERE MAY BE A WAY OF
SHORT-CIRCUITING ITS POWER.
I'M GONNA WORK ON THAT.
MEANWHILE, YOU PASS THE WORD
QUIETLY TO THE CREW...
TO STAY AWAY
FROM PORTSIDE CORRIDOR "B"
AND AWAY FROM THE LAB.
KOWALSKI, COME ON.
WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO
IN THE MACHINE SHOP.
YES, SIR.
ADMIRAL NELSON
IS MOVING AGAINST ME.
HE MUST BE DESTROYED.
WHICH ONE OF US IS TO KILL HIM?
LINDSAY, YOU WILL
DO IT AT ONCE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
LINDSAY IS WEAK.
NOT STRONG LIKE YOU.
IF HE FAILS, YOU WILL SEE TO IT
THAT THE ADMIRAL DIES.
IT'LL BE DONE.
TAKE MR. LINDSAY TO HIS CABIN
AND LOCK HIM IN.
POST YOURSELF ON
GUARD DUTY OUTSIDE.
HE'S NOT TO LEAVE THERE.
USE ANY AMOUNT OF FORCE
NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT
YOUR ORDERS.
[ Male Voice ]
BREAK AWAY FROM HIM, LINDSAY.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
I THOUGHT
I HEARD SOMETHING.
LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S WORKING AGAIN.
THE ADMIRAL PROBABLY
REPAIRED THE POWER LEADS.
YES, FINE.
[ Male Voice ]
CRANE, NELSON IS ON HIS WAY
TO THE OBSERVATION NOSE.
HE HAS TWO DEVICES WITH HIM.
KILL NELSON AND DESTROY
THE DEVICES. AT ONCE!
HOLD IT.
PUT IT DOWN, ADMIRAL.
YOU TOO, KOWALSKI.
[ Gunshot ]
- WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'S WRONG?
- THAT THING, IT HAD YOU UNDER
CONTROL, COMPLETE CONTROL.
HOW?
THERE'S TIME
FOR THAT LATER.
WHAT MATTERS NOW...
WE HAVE A COUNTERPROBE
TO NEUTRALIZE IT.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
[ Crane On Speaker ]
ATTENTION, ALL HANDS!
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
EMERGENCY!
WE'RE IN AN UNCONTROLLED DIVE!
WE CAN'T LEVEL HER OFF!
HOW CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM ARE WE?
THE FATHOMETER'S BLOWN! WE'LL
EITHER HIT BOTTOM IN THREE OR
FOUR MINUTES OR HIT CRUSH DEPTH!
BLOW ALL BALLAST TANKS!
ENGINEERING, TRY TO BRING
EMERGENCY POWER INTO PLAY!
THEN ALL BACK EMERGENCY!
CAN YOU GET ANY POWER
GOING IN HERE, CHIEF?
NO LUCK, ADMIRAL.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE
TO POWER A FLASHLIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE TO BUILD SOME UP.
COME ON.
UH... UH, YOU GOT ME
STUMPED, SIR.
HOW DO WE GET POWER
FROM THIS WHEN THE CREATURE
IS DRAINING IT ALL?
PULL THE DAMPENING RODS,
LET THE REACTOR GO CRITICAL.
WELL, THAT'S LIKE USING
GASOLINE TO PUT OUT A FIRE.
I'M HOPING THE EXTRA ENERGY
WILL DESTROY IT BEFORE WE ALL
GO OUT IN A NUCLEAR BLAST.
IF IT WORKS, WE MAY BE ABLE
TO GET THE RODS BACK IN
BEFORE DOOMSDAY.
CREATURE OR BLAST.
IT'S LIKE TOSSING A COIN.
[ Whirring ]
YOUR ENERGY INTAKE HAS ALMOST
DOUBLED IN THE PAST FEW MOMENTS.
I FELT IT.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
BUT YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING.
WHAT COULD BE WRONG?
IT'S NELSON.
HE'S TAMPERED WITH
THE NUCLEAR REACTOR.
HE'S FIGHTING ME.
I WILL SHOW HIM WHO IS
MASTER OF THE SEAVIEW.
HE MUST NOT STAND
IN MY WAY NOW.
WATCH THE CONTROLS!
THE CONTROLS!
GET THE CONTROLS!
KOWALSKI, TURN ON
THE COUNTERPROBE!
YES, SIR!
HOW IS HE, CHIP?
COMING AROUND.
WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THAT
CREATURE AND STOP HIM!
NOW, KOWALSKI,
TAKE THE COUNTERPROBE,
GET SOME MEN AND SEE IF
YOU CAN GET INTO THE LAB!
YES, SIR!
ALL RIGHT, YOU AND YOU,
COME WITH ME.
IT'S NO GOOD.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
BEFORE WE'RE ALL DESTROYED.
NOTHING CAN DEFEAT US!
NO HUMAN CAN STOP US
FROM OUR ULTIMATE DESTINY!
I STILL HAVE SUPERIOR MEANS
AT MY COMMAND!
WHEN I GIVE THE SIGNAL,
OPEN THAT DOOR FAST.
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT!
WHAT HAPPENS NOW, SIR?
CAPTAIN CRANE
WILL WORRY ABOUT THAT.
LET'S GET BACK TO
THOSE DAMPENING RODS.
AYE, SIR.
[ Whirring Increases ]
- SHE'S REALLY BUILDING UP, SIR.
- THAT'S WHAT WE WANT, CHIEF.
KEEP PULLING THOSE RODS.
[ Whirring Increases ]
KEEP CHECK ON
THE RADIATION COUNT.
LET ME KNOW WHEN SHE REACHES
THE CRITICAL AREA.
THE DOOR'S BEEN JAMMED SHUT!
I'LL GET THE SKIPPER!
YOU STAY ON THOSE VALVES!
[ Whirring Increases ]
THAT'S THE LAST ONE, SIR.
BOY, THE WAY THIS
REACTOR IS GOING,
IT'LL BE BLAST BEFORE
WE STOP THE CREATURE.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
RIGHT NOW WE EITHER
DESTROY IT OR...
[ Screeching ]
LOOK OUT!
SHARKEY, THE COUNTERPROBE!
THIS IS NELSON.
I'M TALKING TO YOU,
YOU IN THE LAB.
- YOU HEAR ME?
LISTEN AND LISTEN WELL.
- I HEAR YOU, NELSON.
YOUR POWER IS GOING.
YOUR ATTEMPT TO TAKE US OVER
HAS ALREADY FAILED.
NOT SO, NELSON.
YOU HAVE NO LONGER TO LIVE
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.
WELL, NEITHER HAVE YOU.
YOUR ABILITY
TO HANDLE THE ENERGY
IS DECREASING ALL THE TIME.
WHY DO YOU FIGHT ME?
WHY DO YOU FIGHT
WHEN YOU ARE TO DIE?
IT'S WORKING, CHIEF.
THE OVERLOAD'S GETTING TO HIM.
[ Chuckles ]
DOESN'T LOOK TOO GOOD.
IF WE CAN GET INTO THE LAB UNDER
COVER OF THE PROTECTIVE SCREEN,
WE MAY BE ABLE
TO STOP IT IN TIME.
KOWALSKI ALREADY TRIED THAT.
THE HATCHWAY'S JAMMED TIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL CUT OUR WAY IN.
YOU TAKE OVER HERE, LEE.
COME ON. WE'VE GOT
SOME WORK TO DO.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
LINDSAY, YOU MUST STOP
THIS FLOW OF ENERGY.
I CAN'T STOP THE REACTOR NOW.
THEY'VE PULLED
THE DAMPENING RODS.
IN A MATTER OF MINUTES,
THE REACTOR WILL GO CRITICAL
AND THERE'LL BE AN ATOMIC BLAST.
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT OF YOU,
OR US OR THE SEAVIEW!
I CAN DO NOTHING!
I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED.
WE WERE CREATED TO RULE.
NO LIVING CREATURE
IN THE UNIVERSE HAS EVER
STOOD IN OUR WAY.
THE GALAXIES HAVE BOWED
THEIR HEADS TO US.
THERE CANNOT,
THERE MUST NOT BE DEFEAT.
YOU WILL ALL DIE IN AGONY!
[ High-pitched Tone ]
DIE!
STAY BEHIND ME. LET'S HOPE
THIS WILL PROTECT US LONG ENOUGH
TO GET TO THE EJECTION SWITCH.
WE'VE GOT TO BLOW THAT THING
OUT OF THE SUB.
AYE, SIR.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
GET DOWN! TRY TO
HOLD HIM WITH THIS.
AYE, SIR!
I'LL GET THE SWITCH.
[ High-pitched Tone Continues ]
[ Whooshing ]
[ High-pitched Tone Stops ]
IT'S GONE, CHIEF.
SIR, JUST... JUST A THOUGHT.
YEAH?
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CAN'T
GET UNDER WAY?
WE HAVE TO GET UNDER WAY.
THERE'S ENOUGH ENERGY STORED IN
THAT TO BLOW THE SEAVIEW
TO BITS.
LEE, PUT THE RODS BACK IN.
WE'VE EJECTED THE CREATURE.
NOW GET UNDER WAY FAST!
YOU HEARD HIM.
GO AHEAD.
ENGINEERING, STAND BY
TO GET UNDER WAY.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
STANDING BY TO ANSWER BELLS.
HOW DOES IT LOOK, SKIPPER?
STILL AT CRITICAL MASS.
THE REACTION COULD GO CHAIN
AT ANY MINUTE.
GET UNDER WAY, CHIP?
NOT YET, SIR.
THE REACTOR'S STILL OUT.
- LEE, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
- IT'S NOT FALLING, ADMIRAL.
IT'S JUST HOLDING AT CRITICAL.
THAT'S NO GOOD. WE GOT TO
GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE
THAT THING BLOWS SKY-HIGH.
IT COULD HOLD THIS WAY FOR HOURS
OR BLOW AT ANY SECOND.
LOOK, PUSH THE REACTOR
TO FULL EMERGENCY,
HOLD FOR FIVE SECONDS,
THEN BRING HER BACK.
COULD BE SUICIDE, SKIPPER.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
- IT'S WORKING!
- [ Crane ] ALL AHEAD FULL!
UP 10 DEGREES ON THE PLANES.
DAMAGE CONTROL.
REPORT.
[ On Speaker ] SEVERAL LEAKS,
SIR. WE'RE GETTING THEM
UNDER CONTROL NOW.
- SONAR REPORT.
- NO CONTACT, SIR.
MUST HAVE BEEN
TOTALLY DESTROYED.
WE'RE AT CRUISING SPEED.
DEPTH: 200.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO HOME.
[ Chuckles ]
WE... WE HAD A BUSY DAY.
THE CLOSER WE GET,
THE MORE THESE READINGS
RESEMBLE HUMAN BRAIN WAVES.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
WHATEVER IT IS,
THESE RADIATION LIGHTS
ARE BUILDING RAPIDLY.
IT'D BE DANGEROUS
TO GET ANY CLOSER.
MAYBE WE WON'T HAVE TO.
LET'S SEE WHAT
LINDSAY'S DOING.
LINDSAY, THIS IS NELSON.
YOU LOCATED THE SOURCE
OF THAT RADIATION YET?
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
HARD TO BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS CAUSED A THOUSAND-MILE
COMMUNICATION BLACKOUT.
CAPTAIN.
THE HULL'S GETTING PRETTY HOT
FROM THAT RADIATION.
ALL STOP.
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.
- WHAT DOES IT
SEEM TO BE, LINDSAY?
- STONE.
[ Lindsay ]
IT'S IN TWO SEGMENTS.
ALMOST LIKE A HUMAN BRAIN.
[ Nelson ]
DOES IT SEEM TO BE FLOATING...
OR IS IT CONNECTED
TO THE ROCK?
CAN'T TELL.
I'M GOING TO HIT IT WITH THE
LASER BEAM TO SEE WHAT RESPONSE
WE GET IN RADIATION LEVEL.
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
DAMAGE CONTROL.
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT!
CHIP, CHECK
OUT THE DAMAGE.
RIGHT AWAY.
COME ON, CHIEF.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
COME ON.
WHAT ABOUT LINDSAY?
I CAN'T GET A PICTURE.
I DON'T THINK HE COULD HAVE
SURVIVED, BUT WE'D BETTER
MAKE A RESCUE ATTEMPT.
RIGHT. I'LL GO.
COME ON, KOWALSKI.
[ Crane ]
ALL RIGHT, LINDSAY,
START BACK.
THE REACTOR'S
BEHAVING ERRATICALLY.
SHARKEY'S CHECKING IT NOW.
BUT WE SHOULD HAVE POWER
IN A FEW MINUTES.
GOOD. GOOD.
THAT ROCK FORM OUT THERE
IS STILL ACTIVE.
IT'S TOO ACTIVE FOR MY TASTE.
WHATEVER IT HIT US WITH
PACKS A REAL WALLOP.
BUT IT DIDN'T KILL LINDSAY.
HE'S STILL ALIVE?
YEAH. LEE'S BRINGING HIM
ABOARD NOW.
[ On Speaker ] MISSILE ROOM
TO ADMIRAL. CAPTAIN CRANE
IS APPROACHING THE ENTRY HATCH.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
NO. NOT NOW. WE HAVE TO
BRING THAT ROCK ABOARD.
ADMIRAL, THAT CREATURE
IS A LIFE-FORM. IT'S ALIVE.
IT'S SOMETHING NO MAN
HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.
IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT ALMOST
KILLED YOU AND NEARLY DESTROYED
SEAVIEW AND EVERYONE ABOARD.
BECAUSE I HIT IT
WITH A LASER BEAM.
I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS ALIVE.
BUT NOW THAT WE KNOW,
WE CAN AND MUST BRING IT
ABOARD FOR STUDY.
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
NOW GET TO SICK BAY AND HAVE
THE DOCTOR CHECK YOU OUT.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BRING
THAT ROCK ABOARD, ARE YOU?
WE'RE HERE INVESTIGATING
A COMMUNICATIONS BLACKOUT
FOR THE NAVY.
IF THAT ROCK IS THE CAUSE,
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
HOW AND WHY.
BUT WE'VE ALREADY
SEEN HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
WHY DON'T WE JUST DESTROY IT?
BECAUSE IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE
A FORM OF LIFE, IT COULD BE
A PHENOMENAL DISCOVERY.
BUT HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY...
AND IF IT'S A LIFE-FORM,
WE CAN CONTROL IT WITH DRUGS,
AND WE'LL BUILD SOME KIND OF
SHIELDING AGAINST THE RADIATION.
MEANWHILE, LET'S CHECK
OUR INSTRUMENTATION, SEE HOW
OUR FRIEND IS DOING OUT THERE.
[ Male Voice ]
RISE. RISE.
WHO'S THAT?
WHO'S TALKING?
IN THE WATER,
I ENTERED YOUR MIND.
THE CREATURE IN THE PIT?
YES.
IN YOUR WORDS
FROM YOUR MIND, I LEARN.
I SPEAK TO YOU ALONE.
ALONE?
THE OTHERS CAN'T HEAR YOU?
NO. ONLY YOU.
YOUR MIND IS MINE.
YOU WILL DO WHAT I TELL YOU.
YES. I WILL DO
WHAT YOU SAY.
I AM PURE INTELLIGENCE.
I HAVE NO BODY.
YOU WILL SEE TO IT
I AM BROUGHT ABOARD.
THEN THIS CREATURE OF IRON
AND STEEL, THIS SUBMARINE,
WILL BECOME MY BODY.
THEN I CAN MOVE AS MEN MOVE.
I WILL SEE TO IT YOU'RE
BROUGHT ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.
NOW.
IF THEY REFUSE?
YOU WILL BRING ME ABOARD.
I ORDER IT.
OH, IT HAS TO BE ALIVE, LEE.
THE RESEMBLANCE TO HUMAN BRAIN
WAVE PATTERNS IS TOO CLOSE.
BESIDES, THERE'S JUST NO OTHER
WAY OF RECORDING AN ELECTRICAL
RADIATION PATTERN LIKE THIS.
IT COULD BE A SEPARATE
EARTH EVOLUTIONARY LINE...
OR, UH... OR MAYBE SOMETHING
FROM ANOTHER WORLD,
FROM OUTER SPACE.
WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S DEADLY.
LEE, THERE MIGHT BE MORE OF
THOSE OUT THERE. WE SHOULD
KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.
- ADMIRAL.
- LINDSAY. YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE IN SICK BAY.
THE DOCTOR GAVE ME
A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
GIVE ME THREE MEN
AND THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT,
AND I'LL HAVE THAT CREATURE
ABOARD IN TWO HOURS.
NOT WITHOUT SOME PROTECTION
AGAINST ITS RADIATION.
WE CAN DEVISE
SOME SORT OF SHIELDING.
A MAGNETIC FORCE WOULD DO IT.
BESIDES, YOU HAVE
THE NECESSARY UNITS.
THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
WE WERE TESTING
ON OUR WAY HERE.
IT MIGHT WORK AT THAT. LEE.
I'LL ORGANIZE A PARTY.
[ Lindsay ]
THE RADIATION LEVEL IS DROPPING.
THERE'S REALLY NO DANGER.
[ Crane ]
STAY BEHIND THE SHIELD, LINDSAY.
[ Crane ]
ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI,
THROW THE NET OVER.
IT SEEMS ALMOST DORMANT AGAIN.
THAT'S THE ELECTROMAGNETIC
SHIELDING.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
I CUT THE POWER OF THE SHIELD.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
THE RADIATION
INCREASES SHARPLY.
WE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY
OF GROUNDING ITS ENERGY.
NOW LET'S HAVE
THOSE METER READINGS.
UH, 30 DEGREES.
1,500 OHMS.
THIRTY DEGREE OSCILLATION,
8,527 VOLTS.
SALINITY FACTOR...
24.
ELECTRICAL PEAKING WATTAGE...
240.
TEMPERATURE REACHING
PLATEAU OF 99 DEGREES.
LINDSAY, TURN UP
THE MAGNETIC SHIELD.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
[ High-pitched Tone Stops ]
WELL, THAT WAS CLOSE.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
HOLD THAT SHIELD VALUE
AT A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL.
OF COURSE. I'M SORRY.
LOOK AT THIS.
THAT LAST BIT OF TAPE
ON THE ENCEPHALOGRAPH
SHOWS SUDDEN ACTIVITY.
IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH
IT ATTACKED DELIBERATELY.
IT OBVIOUSLY HAS A LARGE ENERGY
CONTENT, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T
STRONG ENOUGH TO BE A DANGER.
I'M NOT SO SURE. I'M GONNA PUT
EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THIS
CREATURE INTO THE COMPUTER.
DON'T CALL IT THAT,
ADMIRAL.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE IT'S
AN INTELLIGENT BEING.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
- YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT,
LINDSAY?
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
WELL, YOU HAD A PRETTY
ROUGH TIME OUT THERE.
MAYBE YOU BETTER
CHECK BACK INTO SICK BAY
AND HAVE THE DOCTOR...
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME, NELSON.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
GO BACK TO RUNNING THIS BOAT
AND LET ME HANDLE THESE TESTS?
RIGHT NOW,
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
CAPABLE OF HANDLING THEM.
YOU FORGET I'M ABOARD...
BECAUSE THERE'S
A RADIOACTIVE COMMUNICATION
BLACKOUT IN THIS AREA.
THE NAVY PUT ME HERE
BECAUSE I'M A SPECIALIST
IN ELECTRONIC ENERGY.
THERE'S NO ONE
MORE CAPABLE THAN I OF...
WHAT IS IT, LINDSAY?
HERE.
[ Panting ]
I'M SORRY, ADMIRAL.
PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES.
TH-THE EXCITEMENT OF THIS...
THIS DISCOVERY AND...
AND THE SHOCK I HAD...
FOR A MOMENT OR TWO
I FORGOT MYSELF.
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. IT'S ALL
THE MORE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD
CHECK BACK WITH THE DOCTOR.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND I WILL.
JUST AS SOON AS I DOUBLE-CHECK
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
YOU'VE ESTABLISHED.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, ADMIRAL.
I'M FINE NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU PROCESS THE DATA?
I'LL JOIN YOU AFTER
I'VE SEEN THE DOCTOR.
ALL RIGHT, LINDSAY.
- [ Door Closes ]
- YOU ALMOST MADE
A VERY BAD MISTAKE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO DO
BETTER IN THE FUTURE.
YOU MUST BE MORE EFFICIENT,
LESS EMOTIONAL.
I WILL TRY.
AND AFTER ALL,
I DID GET YOU ABOARD.
YES. BUT I MUST
CONTROL THE CREW.
EVERY MAN ON BOARD
MUST BE MY SLAVE,
AS YOU ARE MY SLAVE.
WITH ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE
AND ENERGY, AND THE SEAVIEW
AS MY BODY,
I CAN DO ANYTHING.
TURN DOWN THE MAGNETIC SHIELD
SO THAT I MAY START TO
TAKE OVER THE SEAVIEW.
IS THE SEAVIEW NOW YOUR BODY?
IT SOON WILL BE.
BUT THERE IS MORE I WANT.
WHAT?
IN TIME, THERE SHALL BE
OTHERS LIKE ME,
AND THEN MAN
WILL LIVE TO SERVE US,
AND ONLY TO SERVE US.
I GROW IN POWER
ALL THE TIME.
FEEL MY POWER.
LISTEN AND REMEMBER:
YOU WILL DO AS I ORDER.
YOU WILL NOT FAIL.
THIS SHIP WILL BE MY BODY,
AND EVERY MAN ON BOARD
WILL BE MY SLAVE.
ANYTHING UNUSUAL, LEE?
WELL, THE LIVE STEAM
COMING UP FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR
HAS PRACTICALLY STOPPED,
AND THE, UH, WATER TEMPERATURE
HAS BEEN DROPPING EVER SINCE
WE TOOK THAT CREATURE ABOARD.
OTHER THINGS
HAVE CHANGED TOO.
YOU MEAN LINDSAY.
YEAH. IT WORRIES ME.
DESPITE WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS,
I'M NOT SURE HE'S RECOVERED.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
HIS, UH... HIS WALK,
HIS MANNER OF TALKING.
HE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE
THE SAME MAN, DOES HE?
HE'S COMPLETELY LOST
HIS SCIENTIFIC DETACHMENT.
I'M NOT SURE THAT, UH,
WE CAN DEPEND ON HIS JUDGMENT
ABOUT THAT THING IN THE LAB.
DO YOU, UH, STILL THINK IT
CAME FROM ANOTHER PLANET?
IT COULD HAVE.
THAT'S WHY I WANT A TEAM
OF DIVERS READY TO GO INTO
THE PIT TOMORROW MORNING.
I'LL SET IT UP.
NOW, UH, WHAT DO YOU
WANT THEM TO DO?
UH, TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS
OF THE ENTIRE
OCEAN FLOOR AROUND IT,
MAKE A CAREFUL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
OF THE WATER AND THE ROCK...
AND SEARCH FOR, UH,
WELL, SOME KIND OF A VEHICLE.
CONSIDER IT DONE.
BUT, YOU KNOW,
I'M NOT REALLY SURE...
[ High-pitched Tone ]
YOU HEARD THAT?
YES.
THE BRAIN?
COULD HAVE.
IT MAY BE TELEPATHIC.
PERHAPS IT SENT OUT
A THOUGHT PROBE.
IF IT HAS THAT POWER...
IF IT DID COME
FROM ANOTHER PLANET...
THAT'S RIGHT, LEE.
IT COULD BE
THE MOST IMPORTANT,
AS WELL AS THE MOST DANGEROUS,
THING ON EARTH.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
[ Male Voice ]
WAKE UP.
IT IS TIME FOR ME TO LEARN
WHAT KNOWLEDGE THERE IS
IN THE COMPUTER BANKS.
YOU WILL TURN THEM ON SO I CAN
DRAIN THEM OF ALL INFORMATION.
THEN THE SEAVIEW WILL BE MINE.
THERE WILL BE MEN ON WATCH.
IF SO, YOU WILL
DISPOSE OF THEM. GO!
WELL, HOW WILL YOU
MAKE CONTACT?
THROUGH YOU, MY ENERGY PROBE
WILL ALLOW ME TO CONTACT
THE COMPUTER.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
MUST BE A SHORT
IN THE COMPUTER WIRING.
CHECK THE CIRCUITRY ROOM.
[ Male Voice ] IT IS OVER.
ALL THAT WAS IN THE COMPUTER
IS KNOWN TO ME.
THE SEAVIEW IS
NOW TRULY MY BODY.
LEAVE. QUICKLY.
SHE'S DEADER THAN A TWO-CENT
FLASHLIGHT BATTERY, SIR.
AH, IT'S WORSE.
THE TAPES ARE BLANK.
EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION STORED
IN THESE COMPUTER BANKS IS GONE.
THERE'S NO WAY TO DO THAT,
NOT THE WAY IT'S ENGINEERED.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
BUT IT'S STILL TRUE.
CHIP, WHAT'S THE REPORT
FROM THE CIRCUITRY ROOM?
SOMETHING WRONG DOWN THERE?
CHIEF, COME ON!
HE'S STILL ALIVE.
GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
YOU BET, SIR.
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
ANY IDEA
WHAT CAUSED IT, DOC?
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DOUBT
IT WAS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
THE BURNS ON THE CLOTHING
AND HIS BACK,
THE TRAUMATIC CONDITION
ARE ALL INDICATIVE.
I'LL GIVE HIM SOME SEDATION.
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,
AND HE'LL BE BACK ON
ACTIVE DUTY IN THE MORNING.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
SOMETHING WRONG, ADMIRAL?
NO. I SUDDENLY REALIZED
I HAD A BLINDING HEADACHE.
YOU WERE NOT SEEN?
I DON'T THINK SO.
I HAD A LITTLE DIFFICULTY
WITH COMMANDER MORTON,
BUT I'M SURE HE DIDN'T SEE ME.
- YOU DID WELL.
- YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED
FROM THE COMPUTER?
YES. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION
I NEED TO OPERATE MY NEW BODY,
THIS THING OF TITANIUM
YOU HUMANS CALL A BOAT,
A SUBMARINE.
THEN YOU'RE FINISHED WITH ME.
NO. UNTIL I CAN BUILD UP
MY ENERGY POTENTIAL,
I NEED THE ASSISTANCE
OF A HUMAN WHO ALSO KNOWS
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOAT.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT!
BUT THERE IS SOMEONE
ABOARD WHO DOES.
AND HAVING JUST PROBED NELSON'S
MIND, I KNOW WHAT MAN I WANT...
CAPTAIN CRANE.
- WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?
- YOU WILL BRING HIM HERE TO ME.
NO!
[ High-pitched Tone ]
YOU WILL DO
AS I WISH IMMEDIATELY,
OR YOU SHALL BE DESTROYED!
NOW GO.
CAPTAIN, I'VE BEEN
HEARING SCUTTLEBUTT...
THAT A SPECIAL RESEARCH TEAM
IS GOING OUT IN THE MORNING.
THAT'S RIGHT.
MOSTLY PHOTOGRAPHIC
AND CHEMICAL EXPERTS.
I'VE PREPARED SOME SPECIAL
INSTRUMENTATION. MAYBE YOU'D
LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT WITH ME.
OH, I'D BE GLAD TO
WHEN THIS WATCH IS OVER.
GO AHEAD, LEE.
I'LL TAKE THE CONN OVER.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
UH, LINDSAY.
HOW'S THAT THING BEHAVING?
IT'S QUIET NOW, ADMIRAL.
THE MAGNETIC SHIELDING
HAS IT ENTIRELY IN CHECK.
- IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE,
YOU LET ME KNOW AT ONCE.
- OF COURSE.
YOU'RE, UH... YOU'RE SURE
THIS SHIELDING CONTROLS
ANY ENERGY THAT THING HAS?
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
CHECK THE INSTRUMENTS
FOR YOURSELF.
[ Male Voice ]
HE WILL BE THE SECOND ONE
TO SERVE ME.
HE CAN'T HEAR ME.
NOT UNLESS I WISH IT
CAN I BE HEARD.
EVERYTHING SEEMS
TO BE HOLDING, YEAH.
THERE IS NO WAY FOR
ITS POWERS TO PASS BEYOND
THE MAGNETIC SHIELDING.
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, CAPTAIN.
ALL RIGHT.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
[ Body Hitting Floor ]
CLOSE THE DOOR
AND LOCK IT.
[ Pulsing Tone ]
GOOD. I HAVE LEARNED WHAT
MY POWER SOURCE SHALL BE.
I WILL MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE NUCLEAR REACTOR.
WHY THE REACTOR?
FOR ENERGY.
IF I USE THE REACTOR PROPERLY,
MY ENERGY SOURCE
WILL BE UNLIMITED.
I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THAT.
WHY DON'T YOU RELEASE ME?
I TOLD YOU I STILL
HAD USE FOR YOU.
YOU HAVE ALL THE POWER YOU WANT.
I BROUGHT CRANE TO YOU.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE
I CAN DO TO HELP.
ENOUGH!
OR I WILL DISPOSE
OF YOU RIGHT NOW!
NOW STAND AWAY FROM ME.
I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW MUCH
OF MY ENERGY CORONA
A HUMAN CAN STAND.
YOU'LL DESTROY US!
I FEEL THE ENERGY.
IT'S SWELLING WITHIN ME.
POWER WILL BE MINE.
POWER WILL BE MINE!
HELP HIM UP.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU ARE NOW THE SLAVE,
AND I AM THE MASTER.
YES.
YOU WILL NOW
BE ABLE TO HEAR ME,
AND I WILL BE ABLE TO READ EVERY
SINGLE THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND
WHENEVER I WISH.
I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT.
IT IS NOW MY WISH
TO LEAVE HERE.
YOU WILL SEE TO IT THAT
THE SEAVIEW GETS UNDER WAY
IN THE MORNING.
YES.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT,
SIR.
I RAN INTO THE CIRCUITRY ROOM
AND WAS TESTING SOME SWITCHES,
AND THEN SUDDENLY
EVERYTHING BLANKED OUT.
PROBABLY AN ACCIDENTAL CONTACT.
FORTUNATELY, IT WASN'T
ANY WORSE, CHIP.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
ADMIRAL?
WE'RE STILL
WORKING ON THE REPAIRS.
IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO LONG NOW.
WE'LL MAKE THE REPAIRS
UNDER WAY.
UNDER WAY?
BUT WE'RE NOT NEARLY THROUGH
WITH OUR RESEARCH HERE.
AFTER WHAT'S HAPPENED, WE'RE
THROUGH. I'M PUTTING BACK TO
SANTA BARBARA IMMEDIATELY.
UH, EASY, LEE. EASY.
THERE WASN'T ANY SERIOUS DAMAGE.
- WE HAVE AN EXPLORATION PARTY
GOING OUT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
- BELAY IT.
A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
TO THE CREW AND THE SEAVIEW
EXISTS IN THIS AREA.
PREPARE TO GET UNDER WAY.
COURSE 2-8-0, DEPTH 100 FEET.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
280 WON'T TAKE US
BACK TO SANTA BARBARA, SIR.
WE'LL BE HEADING
TOWARD AUSTRALIA.
YEAH, I KNOW.
SET THE HEADING.
MORNING, ADMIRAL.
MORNING.
THE ENERGY BUILDUP
HAS DOUBLED SINCE WE BROUGHT
THAT THING ABOARD.
WHEN I HIT IT
WITH THE LASER BEAM,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN DORMANT.
SINCE THEN IT'S BECOME,
WELL, FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD,
CONSCIOUS, ALIVE,
EVER GROWING.
ENERGY WOULD NATURALLY BUILD UP.
INCREASE THE STRENGTH
OF THE MAGNETIC SHIELDING.
OH, I HARDLY THINK
THAT'S NECESSARY, ADMIRAL.
INCREASE IT, LINDSAY.
DOUBLE THE OUTPUT.
AND KEEP IT THAT WAY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LET THAT
INTELLIGENCE REGAIN POWER.
THIS IS CHIEF SHARKEY, ADMIRAL.
COULD YOU COME TO
THE REACTOR ROOM RIGHT AWAY?
TURN THE SHIELDING
DOWN AGAIN.
TURN IT DOWN!
NO. NO, I'M NOT
GOING TO DO IT.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFY ME?
I'M THROUGH OBEYING
YOUR COMMANDS.
YOU'RE DANGEROUS. EVIL.
ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS DESTROY.
I'M GONNA TURN UP THE SHIELDING
AND DESTROY YOU.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
NO LONGER CAN YOU DEFY ME.
YOUR WILL TO RESIST
IS NOW GONE.
NOW, NOT ONLY WILL I DESTROY,
BUT YOU WILL DESTROY FOR ME.
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
IN THE REACTOR ROOM?
[ Sharkey ]
WE'VE GOT A POWER LOSS
AND CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, SIR.
HOW MUCH?
ABOUT 15% AND FALLING SLOWLY.
I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.
AND I'VE HAD TO STEP UP
THE OUTPUT OVER 15% JUST
TO KEEP THE POWER LOSS DOWN.
SEE, SIR?
UH-HUH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT, UH...
THAT POWER, IT JUST DOESN'T,
UH, DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR.
UH, NO, SIR.
WELL, IT'S, UH...
IT'S GOING SOMEWHERE, CHIEF.
YES, SIR. I WOULD
SAY SO, SIR. YES, SIR.
ANY IDEA WHERE?
NO, SIR.
WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
SINCE THIS THING FLIPPED
ITS WIG LAST NIGHT,
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
FIGURE OUT A THING ABOUT IT.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
A 15% LOSS OF
REACTOR POWER AND NO CLUE.
WE CAN LIVE WITH 15% LOSS.
[ Nelson ]
OF COURSE WE CAN.
BUT THE LOSS IS INCREASING.
AND IF IT CONTINUES THIS WAY,
WE'LL SOON REACH THE POINT
WHERE WE CAN'T LIVE WITH IT.
THEN WE'LL HAVE TO COMPENSATE.
CHIEF, BUILD THE REACTOR OUTPUT
AND KEEP BUILDING IT
TO HOLD POWER.
- THAT'S, UH, TRICKY,
CAPTAIN, AND DANGEROUS.
- THAT'S AN ORDER!
YES, SIR.
I'LL CHECK OUT
THE CONTROL ROOM, CHIEF.
YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU
FIND ANYTHING HERE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
UH, CHIEF.
UH, BEFORE YOU, UH...
BEFORE YOU NOTIFY THE ADMIRAL,
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT.
I THINK WE GOT IT.
BUT IT SURE BEATS ME AS TO WHAT
HAPPENED HERE WHEN COMMANDER
MORTON GOT KNOCKED OUT.
I THINK WE BETTER DOUBLE-CHECK.
[ On Speaker ]
PATTERSON, THIS IS THE ADMIRAL.
HOW ARE YOU DOING
WITH THE REPAIRS?
WELL, SO FAR, EVERYTHING'S
CHECKING A-OKAY, SIR.
YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR
POWER SOURCE, PATTERSON.
WE'RE GETTING A LOSS
IN THE REACTOR ROOM.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
KEEP YOUR EYE
ON THE VOLTAGE FLOW
FROM THE REACTORS.
I'M GONNA CHECK BACK
THROUGH THE POWER LINES.
OKAY, PAT.
HEY, PRETTY FAST TRIP, PAT.
I SAID THAT
WAS A PRETTY FAST...
HEY, WHAT GIVES?
HEY, THIS IS NO TIME
FOR GAMES, PAT.
WE BETTER START
CHECKING THE POWER FLOW
LIKE THE ADMIRAL SAID.
WE'RE GONNA BE HERE
ALL NIGHT... PAT, NO!
CHIP, I'D LIKE TO TRY
A CHANGE OF COURSE.
YES, SIR.
CHANGE FIVE DEGREES
TO 285.
FIVE DEGREES TO 285.
THERE'S NO RESPONSE TO HELM.
[ Nelson ]
TEST IT YOURSELF, CHIP.
[ Morton ] NOTHING.
SHE WON'T RESPOND.
[ Nelson ] TRY THE PLANES.
NO RESPONSE TO
PLANES CONTROL EITHER.
AND YET SHE'S HOLDING STEADY
AND TRUE AT A DEPTH OF 100 FEET
ON COURSE 2-8-0.
YES, SIR.
ALL RIGHT, CHIP.
COME FORWARD WITH ME.
WHY DO YOU THINK
THE CONTROLS DON'T RESPOND?
IT MIGHT BE CAUSED
BY THE POWER LOSS.
AND I BELIEVE IT'S
SOMETHING ELSE. I, UH...
I THINK SEAVIEW
HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER.
TAKEN OVER?
NOW THINK ABOUT IT, CHIP.
THE DAMAGE WE SUFFERED
IN THE PIT AREA,
YOUR, UH, SO-CALLED ACCIDENT
IN THE CIRCUITRY ROOM,
COMPUTER TAPES WIPED CLEAR,
LOSS OF REACTOR POWER,
CONTROLS COMPLETELY
MALFUNCTIONING.
IT BUILDS UP TO
A PRETTY STRONG CASE, BUT...
THERE'S MORE.
LINDSAY... AND CRANE.
THEY'RE NOT ACTING NORMALLY,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN. MAYBE
THE STRAIN WE'VE BEEN UNDER...
NOT WHEN YOU TIE IT IN
WITH THE REST. THEY'VE
BEEN TAKEN OVER TOO.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT
CREATURE THAT WE HAVE ON BOARD.
THAT'S RIGHT. NOW LINDSAY
SAYS IT'S PURE INTELLIGENCE,
AND I THINK HE'S RIGHT.
IT'S MORE POWERFUL, MORE
DANGEROUS, INTELLIGENCE THAN YOU
AND I COULD EVER DREAM OF.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
THERE MAY BE A WAY OF
SHORT-CIRCUITING ITS POWER.
I'M GONNA WORK ON THAT.
MEANWHILE, YOU PASS THE WORD
QUIETLY TO THE CREW...
TO STAY AWAY
FROM PORTSIDE CORRIDOR "B"
AND AWAY FROM THE LAB.
KOWALSKI, COME ON.
WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO
IN THE MACHINE SHOP.
YES, SIR.
ADMIRAL NELSON
IS MOVING AGAINST ME.
HE MUST BE DESTROYED.
WHICH ONE OF US IS TO KILL HIM?
LINDSAY, YOU WILL
DO IT AT ONCE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
LINDSAY IS WEAK.
NOT STRONG LIKE YOU.
IF HE FAILS, YOU WILL SEE TO IT
THAT THE ADMIRAL DIES.
IT'LL BE DONE.
TAKE MR. LINDSAY TO HIS CABIN
AND LOCK HIM IN.
POST YOURSELF ON
GUARD DUTY OUTSIDE.
HE'S NOT TO LEAVE THERE.
USE ANY AMOUNT OF FORCE
NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT
YOUR ORDERS.
[ Male Voice ]
BREAK AWAY FROM HIM, LINDSAY.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
I THOUGHT
I HEARD SOMETHING.
LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S WORKING AGAIN.
THE ADMIRAL PROBABLY
REPAIRED THE POWER LEADS.
YES, FINE.
[ Male Voice ]
CRANE, NELSON IS ON HIS WAY
TO THE OBSERVATION NOSE.
HE HAS TWO DEVICES WITH HIM.
KILL NELSON AND DESTROY
THE DEVICES. AT ONCE!
HOLD IT.
PUT IT DOWN, ADMIRAL.
YOU TOO, KOWALSKI.
[ Gunshot ]
- WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'S WRONG?
- THAT THING, IT HAD YOU UNDER
CONTROL, COMPLETE CONTROL.
HOW?
THERE'S TIME
FOR THAT LATER.
WHAT MATTERS NOW...
WE HAVE A COUNTERPROBE
TO NEUTRALIZE IT.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
[ Crane On Speaker ]
ATTENTION, ALL HANDS!
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
EMERGENCY!
WE'RE IN AN UNCONTROLLED DIVE!
WE CAN'T LEVEL HER OFF!
HOW CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM ARE WE?
THE FATHOMETER'S BLOWN! WE'LL
EITHER HIT BOTTOM IN THREE OR
FOUR MINUTES OR HIT CRUSH DEPTH!
BLOW ALL BALLAST TANKS!
ENGINEERING, TRY TO BRING
EMERGENCY POWER INTO PLAY!
THEN ALL BACK EMERGENCY!
CAN YOU GET ANY POWER
GOING IN HERE, CHIEF?
NO LUCK, ADMIRAL.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE
TO POWER A FLASHLIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE TO BUILD SOME UP.
COME ON.
UH... UH, YOU GOT ME
STUMPED, SIR.
HOW DO WE GET POWER
FROM THIS WHEN THE CREATURE
IS DRAINING IT ALL?
PULL THE DAMPENING RODS,
LET THE REACTOR GO CRITICAL.
WELL, THAT'S LIKE USING
GASOLINE TO PUT OUT A FIRE.
I'M HOPING THE EXTRA ENERGY
WILL DESTROY IT BEFORE WE ALL
GO OUT IN A NUCLEAR BLAST.
IF IT WORKS, WE MAY BE ABLE
TO GET THE RODS BACK IN
BEFORE DOOMSDAY.
CREATURE OR BLAST.
IT'S LIKE TOSSING A COIN.
[ Whirring ]
YOUR ENERGY INTAKE HAS ALMOST
DOUBLED IN THE PAST FEW MOMENTS.
I FELT IT.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
BUT YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING.
WHAT COULD BE WRONG?
IT'S NELSON.
HE'S TAMPERED WITH
THE NUCLEAR REACTOR.
HE'S FIGHTING ME.
I WILL SHOW HIM WHO IS
MASTER OF THE SEAVIEW.
HE MUST NOT STAND
IN MY WAY NOW.
WATCH THE CONTROLS!
THE CONTROLS!
GET THE CONTROLS!
KOWALSKI, TURN ON
THE COUNTERPROBE!
YES, SIR!
HOW IS HE, CHIP?
COMING AROUND.
WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THAT
CREATURE AND STOP HIM!
NOW, KOWALSKI,
TAKE THE COUNTERPROBE,
GET SOME MEN AND SEE IF
YOU CAN GET INTO THE LAB!
YES, SIR!
ALL RIGHT, YOU AND YOU,
COME WITH ME.
IT'S NO GOOD.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
BEFORE WE'RE ALL DESTROYED.
NOTHING CAN DEFEAT US!
NO HUMAN CAN STOP US
FROM OUR ULTIMATE DESTINY!
I STILL HAVE SUPERIOR MEANS
AT MY COMMAND!
WHEN I GIVE THE SIGNAL,
OPEN THAT DOOR FAST.
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT!
WHAT HAPPENS NOW, SIR?
CAPTAIN CRANE
WILL WORRY ABOUT THAT.
LET'S GET BACK TO
THOSE DAMPENING RODS.
AYE, SIR.
[ Whirring Increases ]
- SHE'S REALLY BUILDING UP, SIR.
- THAT'S WHAT WE WANT, CHIEF.
KEEP PULLING THOSE RODS.
[ Whirring Increases ]
KEEP CHECK ON
THE RADIATION COUNT.
LET ME KNOW WHEN SHE REACHES
THE CRITICAL AREA.
THE DOOR'S BEEN JAMMED SHUT!
I'LL GET THE SKIPPER!
YOU STAY ON THOSE VALVES!
[ Whirring Increases ]
THAT'S THE LAST ONE, SIR.
BOY, THE WAY THIS
REACTOR IS GOING,
IT'LL BE BLAST BEFORE
WE STOP THE CREATURE.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
RIGHT NOW WE EITHER
DESTROY IT OR...
[ Screeching ]
LOOK OUT!
SHARKEY, THE COUNTERPROBE!
THIS IS NELSON.
I'M TALKING TO YOU,
YOU IN THE LAB.
- YOU HEAR ME?
LISTEN AND LISTEN WELL.
- I HEAR YOU, NELSON.
YOUR POWER IS GOING.
YOUR ATTEMPT TO TAKE US OVER
HAS ALREADY FAILED.
NOT SO, NELSON.
YOU HAVE NO LONGER TO LIVE
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.
WELL, NEITHER HAVE YOU.
YOUR ABILITY
TO HANDLE THE ENERGY
IS DECREASING ALL THE TIME.
WHY DO YOU FIGHT ME?
WHY DO YOU FIGHT
WHEN YOU ARE TO DIE?
IT'S WORKING, CHIEF.
THE OVERLOAD'S GETTING TO HIM.
[ Chuckles ]
DOESN'T LOOK TOO GOOD.
IF WE CAN GET INTO THE LAB UNDER
COVER OF THE PROTECTIVE SCREEN,
WE MAY BE ABLE
TO STOP IT IN TIME.
KOWALSKI ALREADY TRIED THAT.
THE HATCHWAY'S JAMMED TIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL CUT OUR WAY IN.
YOU TAKE OVER HERE, LEE.
COME ON. WE'VE GOT
SOME WORK TO DO.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
LINDSAY, YOU MUST STOP
THIS FLOW OF ENERGY.
I CAN'T STOP THE REACTOR NOW.
THEY'VE PULLED
THE DAMPENING RODS.
IN A MATTER OF MINUTES,
THE REACTOR WILL GO CRITICAL
AND THERE'LL BE AN ATOMIC BLAST.
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT OF YOU,
OR US OR THE SEAVIEW!
I CAN DO NOTHING!
I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED.
WE WERE CREATED TO RULE.
NO LIVING CREATURE
IN THE UNIVERSE HAS EVER
STOOD IN OUR WAY.
THE GALAXIES HAVE BOWED
THEIR HEADS TO US.
THERE CANNOT,
THERE MUST NOT BE DEFEAT.
YOU WILL ALL DIE IN AGONY!
[ High-pitched Tone ]
DIE!
STAY BEHIND ME. LET'S HOPE
THIS WILL PROTECT US LONG ENOUGH
TO GET TO THE EJECTION SWITCH.
WE'VE GOT TO BLOW THAT THING
OUT OF THE SUB.
AYE, SIR.
[ High-pitched Tone ]
GET DOWN! TRY TO
HOLD HIM WITH THIS.
AYE, SIR!
I'LL GET THE SWITCH.
[ High-pitched Tone Continues ]
[ Whooshing ]
[ High-pitched Tone Stops ]
IT'S GONE, CHIEF.
SIR, JUST... JUST A THOUGHT.
YEAH?
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CAN'T
GET UNDER WAY?
WE HAVE TO GET UNDER WAY.
THERE'S ENOUGH ENERGY STORED IN
THAT TO BLOW THE SEAVIEW
TO BITS.
LEE, PUT THE RODS BACK IN.
WE'VE EJECTED THE CREATURE.
NOW GET UNDER WAY FAST!
YOU HEARD HIM.
GO AHEAD.
ENGINEERING, STAND BY
TO GET UNDER WAY.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
STANDING BY TO ANSWER BELLS.
HOW DOES IT LOOK, SKIPPER?
STILL AT CRITICAL MASS.
THE REACTION COULD GO CHAIN
AT ANY MINUTE.
GET UNDER WAY, CHIP?
NOT YET, SIR.
THE REACTOR'S STILL OUT.
- LEE, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
- IT'S NOT FALLING, ADMIRAL.
IT'S JUST HOLDING AT CRITICAL.
THAT'S NO GOOD. WE GOT TO
GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE
THAT THING BLOWS SKY-HIGH.
IT COULD HOLD THIS WAY FOR HOURS
OR BLOW AT ANY SECOND.
LOOK, PUSH THE REACTOR
TO FULL EMERGENCY,
HOLD FOR FIVE SECONDS,
THEN BRING HER BACK.
COULD BE SUICIDE, SKIPPER.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
- IT'S WORKING!
- [ Crane ] ALL AHEAD FULL!
UP 10 DEGREES ON THE PLANES.
DAMAGE CONTROL.
REPORT.
[ On Speaker ] SEVERAL LEAKS,
SIR. WE'RE GETTING THEM
UNDER CONTROL NOW.
- SONAR REPORT.
- NO CONTACT, SIR.
MUST HAVE BEEN
TOTALLY DESTROYED.
WE'RE AT CRUISING SPEED.
DEPTH: 200.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO HOME.
[ Chuckles ]
WE... WE HAD A BUSY DAY.
