Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 3, Episode 13 - The Lost Bomb - full transcript
An unfriendly government shoots down a cargo plane carrying a new top secret bomb. The race is on to retrieve the bomb and avoid detection from the enemy before the bomb can be accidentally exploded.
SIR, SPARKS REPORTS
THE CARGO PLANE
IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
- HAVE HIM MAINTAIN A STEADY
DIRECTIONAL BEAM FOR THE PLANE.
- AYE, SIR.
ETHEL.
YES, IT IS.
IT'S ETHEL SHARKEY.
DOC!
DOC BRADLEY! HOW ARE YOU?
YOU OLD SON OF A GUN!
WELL, THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE.
IT'S BEEN... WELL,
LET'S FORGET HOW MANY YEARS.
[ Sharkey ]
I HEARD THERE WAS A CIVILIAN
BOMB EXPERT ABOARD,
BUT I NEVER FIGURED
THAT THE SQUINTY LITTLE
FOUR-EYED...
YOU SON OF A GUN!
HOW ARE YOU?
FINE.
I, UH, TAKE IT
YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER.
KNOW EACH OTHER?
WE WERE KIDS TOGETHER
ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE.
WE GREW UP TOGETHER.
AND TO THINK THAT
ETHEL SHARKEY...
GREW UP TO BE A C.P.O.
ON THE SEAVIEW.
LISTEN...
- ETHEL SHARKEY?
- ETHELBERT.
OH.
FRANCIS ETHELBERT SHARKEY.
[ Sighs ]
YES, SIR.
THAT BLIP, SIR,
LOOKS LIKE A SUB TO ME.
GET A READING.
IT'S 2,000 YARDS SOUTHWEST.
IT'S MOVING FAST.
DEFINITELY A SUB, SIR.
UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT
UNDERWATER.
2,000 YARDS SOUTHWEST.
A SUBMARINE?
I THOUGHT WE HAD
A WHOLE LINE OF PICKET SHIPS
AROUND THE AREA.
WE HAVE, DOCTOR,
BUT THIS IS A BIG OCEAN.
SPARKS,
CONTACT THAT SUBMARINE.
REQUEST IMMEDIATE
RECOGNITION CODE.
ALSO, ALERT THE PICKET SHIPS.
AYE, SIR.
[ Crane ]
STAND BY TO SOUND
GENERAL QUARTERS.
CHIEF, YOUR REUNION
WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
REPORT TO STATIONS.
AYE, SIR.
TALK TO YOU LATER.
WE'RE ON A RENDEZVOUS COURSE
TO PICK UP A TOP SECRET CESIUM
SEVEN BOMB FROM THAT PLANE.
AN UNIDENTIFIED SUB SHOWS UP.
COINCIDENCE?
I DOUBT IT.
CAPTAIN, HEAVY CONCUSSION.
UNDERWATER
SHIP-TO-AIR MISSILE.
BATTLE STATIONS!
BATTLE STATIONS!
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
THEIR TARGET MUST BE
OUR CARGO PLANE.
IF THAT CESIUM BOMB EXPLODES,
HALF THE WORLD WILL BE GONE!
MISSILE'S ON INTERCEPT COURSE
WITH THE PLANE, SIR.
IMPACT IMMINENT.
THE BLIPS ARE GONE, SIR.
MUST'VE BEEN A DIRECT HIT.
THE BOMB.
DIVE. ALL DIVE!
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
NO BOMB DETONATION.
WELL, IF THE CESIUM SEVEN
WERE GONNA GO,
WE'D BE WIPED OUT BY NOW.
IT'S STILL OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
PATTERSON, DID YOU GET
A FIX ON THE IMPACT POINT?
WELL, AS NEAR
AS I CAN FIGURE, CAPTAIN,
THE PLANE MUST HAVE
HIT THE WATER ABOUT
SIX MILES NORTH-NORTHWEST.
TAKE HER UP TO 90 FEET.
PROCEED NORTH-NORTHWEST
AT FLANK SPEED.
AYE, SIR.
UP BUBBLE FIVE DEGREES.
LEVEL OFF AT 90 FEET.
COME TO COURSE 0-7-0.
ENGINEERING,
GIVE US FLANK SPEED.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
WE'VE GOT TO LOCATE THAT BOMB.
THE ELECTROLYTIC ACTION
OF THE SEAWATER WILL ACTIVATE
THE FIRING MECHANISM.
- HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?
- NOT MORE THAN FOUR HOURS.
MMM. BETTER ACTIVATE
THE ELECTRONIC SCANNING DEVICES.
ACTIVATE ALL ELECTRONIC
DETECTION DEVICES.
AYE, SIR.
LET'S SEE IF
WE CAN SPOT THE WRECKAGE
FROM THE OBSERVATION NOSE.
KOWALSKI, HAVE YOU
LOCATED THAT SUB?
NO, SIR,
I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.
IT'S LIKE IT DISAPPEARED.
WELL, WE HAVE JUST
THREE AND A HALF HOURS
TO FIND IT AND STOP IT.
WELL, YOU'RE THE
ALLIED DEFENSE COMMISSION
BOMB EXPERT.
CAN YOU DO IT?
I'M NOT SURE.
BUT IF I CAN'T...
WE'LL FIND IT FOR YOU.
YOU DISARM IT.
ANY FURTHER CONTACT
WITH THAT SUB?
NO, SIR.
NO FURTHER REPORTS FROM SONAR.
THEY'VE PROBABLY LEFT THE AREA.
WHY NOT?
THEY DID THEIR JOB.
THAT CESIUM BOMB COULD HAVE BEEN
THE GREATEST DETERRENT TO WAR
WE'VE COME UP WITH YET.
WELL, IT-IT STILL MAY BE
IF WE CAN CARRY OUT
THE ORIGINAL PLAN...
GET IT ABOARD SEAVIEW
AND THEN TAKE IT TO OUR
UNDERWATER DEFENSE COMPLEX.
WELL, IF WE CAN'T,
THIS PART OF THE WORLD
WILL BE GONE.
AND THERE'S NO WAY
TO GET CLEAR IF SHE EXPLODES?
NONE.
THE AVERAGE DEPTH
OF THIS WATER
IS 800 FEET.
CAN YOU MAKE THE DIVE
AND DEACTIVATE AT THAT DEPTH?
I CAN STAND IT
IF YOUR DIVING GEAR CAN.
WITH OUR
ANTI-COMPRESSION OXYGEN,
I THINK IT CAN.
UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT ON BOTTOM
DEAD AHEAD, ADMIRAL.
COULD BE THE BOMB.
[ Morton ]
ALL STOP.
[ Nelson ]
THERE IT IS.
ADMIRAL, IT'S
ALREADY ACTIVATED.
POSITION DIRECTLY
OVER THE BOMB...
700 FEET.
LEVEL OFF AT 700 FEET,
AND HOLD DIRECTLY OVER
THE BOMB.
WELL, I'M READY
TO GO OUT, ADMIRAL.
I'LL NEED ONE MAN TO ASSIST.
MM-HMM.
HOW ABOUT, UH...
WHAT ABOUT SHARKEY?
ETHEL? CAN'T THINK
OF A BETTER MAN.
LET'S GO.
SKIPPER, THAT SUB'S
ON THE MOVE AGAIN
APPROACHING AFT.
5-0-5 YARDS
AND CLOSING FAST.
SPARKS, TRY TO CONTACT THAT SUB.
AYE, SIR.
ACTIVATE AFT CAMERA,
TELESCOPIC LENS.
AYE, SIR.
"VULCAN"?
WHAT COUNTRY IS THAT?
GIVE ME A CHECK
ON SUBMARINE VULCAN.
NATIONALITY UNKNOWN.
GENERAL QUARTERS.
MISSILE ROOM,
STAND BY TO LOAD MISSILES.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
INTERNATIONAL MARINE REGISTRY
SHOWS NO LISTING FOR A SUBMARINE
VULCAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
ALL AHEAD FLANK.
TWENTY DEGREES STARBOARD RUDDER.
WE CAN'T LEAVE THE BOMB NOW!
IT'LL EXPLODE!
WE'RE A SITTING DUCK HERE.
WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN
MANEUVERABILITY.
TORPEDOES APPROACHING
ASTERN!
ALL AHEAD FULL.
HARD RIGHT RUDDER.
RETURN FIRE.
MISSILE ROOM,
READY TORPEDOES ONE AND TWO.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
LOAD TWO!
TORPEDOES APPROACHING ASTERN!
LEFT FULL RUDDER!
[ Explosion ]
[ Explosion ]
MISSILE ROOM, FIRE ONE!
FIRE TWO!
SKIPPER, CANNOT...
REPEAT... CANNOT FIRE.
MISSILE ROOM,
WHAT'S YOUR CONDITION?
NOT TOO GOOD, SIR.
THE FIRING MECHANISM
IS BURNED OUT.
- HOW LONG TO MAKE REPAIRS?
- CAN'T TELL, SIR.
LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR JOB.
WHERE'S THAT SUB?
SONAR'S SHORTED OUT, SIR.
I CAN'T TRACK HER.
HYDROPHONE?
IT'S OUT TOO, SIR.
GET 'EM REPAIRED ON THE DOUBLE.
WE'VE GOTTA GET A FIX ON THAT
SUB BEFORE IT ATTACKS AGAIN.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CHIP, GET WORK DETAILS
WORKING ON THE CIRCUITRY.
FORGET THE MINOR HULL DAMAGE.
DOESN'T LOOK GOOD,
DOES IT?
LOOK, WE'VE BEEN
IN WORSE FIXES.
YES, BUT IF
THEY ATTACK AGAIN,
WE CAN'T RETALIATE.
WITH THE CIRCUITRY OUT,
WE CAN'T FIRE OUR MISSILES.
I'M NOT AS CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
AS I AM ABOUT THE BOMB.
YOU STILL WILLING
TO GO DOWN FOR IT?
OF COURSE.
GOOD. LAUNCH THE FLYING SUB
AND FIND THE VULCAN.
I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT,
BUT KEEP IT BUSY...
SO WE CAN GET
BACK TO THE BOMB.
RIGHT, SIR.
WELL, COMMANDER?
THE SEAVIEW'S APPARENTLY
MOTIONLESS IN THE WATER.
- SHALL WE FINISH HER OFF NOW?
- WHAT FOR?
OBVIOUSLY, SHE CANNOT FIRE BACK,
OR SHE WOULD HAVE
DONE SO BY NOW.
- NO, I'D RATHER CAPTURE
THAN DESTROY HER.
- I'LL ALERT A BOARDING PARTY.
THERE'S ALWAYS TIME
FOR THOSE LESSER DETAILS,
COMMANDER.
LESSER, SIR?
THE SEAVIEW WOULD BE
A GREAT PRIZE TO TAKE BACK
TO OUR HOMELAND.
WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE?
THE CESIUM BOMB.
EXACTLY.
WE'VE SUCCEEDED
IN BRINGING IT DOWN.
WE'VE DISABLED THE SEAVIEW.
NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT
IS TO FIND THE BOMB
AND BRING IT ON BOARD.
THEN WE SHALL RETURN
FOR THE SEAVIEW.
VERY WELL, SIR.
ALL AHEAD STANDARD.
COME TO COURSE 1-4-7.
AND PREPARE THE SEARCH
FOR THE CESIUM BOMB.
YES, SIR.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
THE FLYING SUB'S CHECKED OUT
AND READY FOR LAUNCH.
GOOD.
NOW, WE'LL BUY ENOUGH TIME
FOR YOU TO GET DOWN
TO THAT BOMB.
DON'T, UH, TANGLE
WITH THE VULCAN.
YOU HAVE NO WEAPONS
HEAVY ENOUGH.
JUST TRY TO KEEP HER BUSY.
RIGHT. WILL DO.
DOCTOR, MIGHT AS WELL
GET YOU SUITED UP
AND READY FOR YOUR DIVE.
- PREPARE TO LAUNCH.
- [ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
LAUNCH.
AYE, SIR.
MR. VADIM,
THE SEAVIEW HAS JUST
LAUNCHED A MINIATURE SUB.
PROBABLY A FLYING SUBMARINE.
WHAT'S HER COURSE?
2-3-0.
ALTER COURSE... 2-3-0.
YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW HER?
OF COURSE.
THE FLYING SUB IS IDEAL
FOR LANDING ALONGSIDE
THE BOMB AND DISARMING IT.
ALTER COURSE AND
INCREASE SPEED TO FLANK.
VERY WELL, SIR.
RONNIE, CHECK OUT THAT LUNG.
[ Morton ]
CONTROL TO MISSILE ROOM.
HYDROPHONE'S OPERATIVE AGAIN.
WE'VE PICKED UP THE VULCAN.
SHE'S TRAILING THE FLYING SUB.
WHAT'S THE POSITION
OF THE BOMB?
APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES
TO THE NORTHEAST, SIR.
COME ABOUT AND HEAD FOR IT
AT FLANK SPEED.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Beeping ]
LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING,
SKIPPER. THAT MUST BE
THE VULCAN TRAILING US.
UH-HUH. SHE'S PICKED UP
OUR TRAIL, ALL RIGHT.
DO WE GO TO FLANK SPEED
AND MAKE A RUN FOR IT?
NO.
WE'LL HOLD AT ONE-THIRD
AND START A SEARCH PATTERN.
THAT'LL PULL THE VULCAN
AWAY FROM THE BOMB AREA.
I GET IT, SKIPPER.
WE'LL MAKE THE VULCAN BELIEVE
WE'RE SEARCHING FOR
THE BOMB OURSELVES.
THAT'S THE IDEA.
I WAS JUST
THINKING, SKIPPER.
WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO KEEP HER FOOLED FOREVER.
JUST LONG ENOUGH
TO LET THE SEAVIEW
PICK UP THAT BOMB.
WHAT IF WE CAN'T
KEEP HER FOOLED...
AND SHE GOES AFTER
THE SEAVIEW AGAIN?
THEN WE'LL GO AFTER THE VULCAN.
SKIPPER, WE'VE GOT NO WEAPONS
ABOARD TO ATTACK THAT SUB WITH.
- THEY'LL BLOW US
OUT OF THE WATER.
- I KNOW, KOWALSKI.
BUT THOSE ARE OUR ORDERS...
KEEP THE VULCAN OCCUPIED
NO MATTER WHAT.
YES, SIR.
[ Beeping ]
[ Beeping Rapidly ]
WE'VE GOT IT.
THAT'S THE CESIUM BOMB.
YOU KNOW, DOC, GOING OUT
ON THIS DIVE WITH YOU TAKES
ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO GO
DIVING INTO THE EAST RIVER?
I SURE DO.
ONLY THIS TIME...
IT'S A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT
THAN PICKING UP BOTTLES
OR PIECES OF METALLIC JUNK...
FOR THE FEW CENTS
THAT WE COULD SELL 'EM FOR.
IT SURE IS.
NOW, LISTEN, ABOUT THIS BOMB,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE IN FOR?
WELL, IT'S GOT
THREE DETERRENT DEVICES ON IT.
HERE, HOLD ON TO THIS.
WE MAY NEED IT
FOR THE SECOND FUSE.
THAT'S A PRETTY
RUGGED CONTRAPTION WE'LL BE
FOOLING AROUND WITH, HUH?
HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED.
ALMOST HUMAN IN ITS SENSITIVITY.
THE WORD IS "HANDLE WITH CARE."
[ Morton On Speaker ]
CONTROL ROOM TO ADMIRAL.
WE HAVE A FIX
ON THE CESIUM BOMB.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S HAVE IT.
200 YARDS
OFF THE PORT BOW.
IT'S STILL AT
800-FOOT DEPTH.
GOOD.
ALL STOP. HOLD TRIM.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
SET?
YES, SIR.
READY TO GO.
WE'LL KEEP IN RADIO CONTACT,
AND GOOD LUCK.
THANK YOU, SIR.
WHAT'S THE COURSE AND DISTANCE
ON THAT FLYING SUBMARINE?
0-8-0 AT A THOUSAND YARDS.
THEN WE'VE BEEN TRICKED.
SIR?
THAT'S FROM OUR AGENT
ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.
THE HOMING DEVICE
HE HAS WITH HIM.
HIS ORDERS WERE TO ACTIVATE IT
AS SOON AS
THEY'VE LOCATED THE BOMB.
BUT THE FLYING SUBMARINE.
WE'VE BEEN DECOYED.
PREPARE LASER BEAM
FOR IMMEDIATE FIRING.
YES, SIR.
PREPARE LASER BEAM TO FIRE.
[ Man On Speaker ]
YES, SIR.
COURSE 0-8-0.
ALL AHEAD FLANK.
WE'LL BLOW THAT FLYING SUB
OUT OF THE WATER.
BRADLEY CALLING THE SEAVIEW.
WE'RE AT THE BOMB NOW.
THE FIRING MECHANISM'S
ALREADY ACTIVATED.
THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING
HOW LONG WE HAVE
UNTIL BLAST TIME.
CAN YOU REVERSE IT, BRADLEY?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT WE'LL START DEACTIVATION.
WE MIGHT AS WELL.
THERE'S NO PLACE ANY OF US
CAN RUN TO NOW.
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE DOING
ALL RIGHT, SKIPPER.
MM-HMM.
ANY PARTICULAR COURSE
YOU WANT SET NOW?
NO, NO.
WE'LL JUST KEEP
OUR REGULAR
SEARCH PATTERN GOING.
[ Sighs ]
THE SEAVIEW SHOULD HAVE
FOUND THE BOMB BY NOW.
AND DR. BRADLEY WILL...
[ Beeping Rapidly ]
THE VULCAN'S STARTING
TO CLOSE IN, SIR.
AND AT FLANK SPEED.
LOOKS LIKE OUR TIME
AS A DECOY IS ABOUT OVER.
- DO WE TRY TO OUTRUN HER, SIR?
- NO.
WE'LL STILL TRY
TO STALL FOR TIME.
YES, SIR.
MR. VADIM?
WE'RE CLOSING IN
ON THE FLYING SUBMARINE
RAPIDLY, SIR.
WHAT'S OUR DISTANCE?
400 YARDS.
- LOCK IN YOUR SIGHTS.
- YES, SIR.
- LOCK IN YOUR LASER BEAMS.
- [ Man On Speaker ]
YES, SIR.
250 YARDS, SIR.
THAT'LL DO NICELY. FIRE.
FIRE!
[ Ticking ]
HOLD IT, SHARKEY.
IF SHE EVER SLIPS...
I'VE GOT IT, DOC.
LOOK OUT, DOC.
SHE'S SLIPPING.
GET IT OFF ME, SHARKEY!
I'LL GET IT, DOC.
GET READY TO MOVE OUT.
THE BOMB.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
[ Ticking Rapidly ]
IT'S GOING WILD, SHARKEY.
APPROACHING DETONATION.
THE BOMB'S
GOING TO EXPLODE.
THE CONTROL SETTING
TO YOUR RIGHT...
MOVE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
[ Ticking Slows Down ]
GOOD WORK, DOC.
SHE'S DEFUSED.
NO. ONLY
PARTIALLY DEACTIVATED.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?
SO FAR AS I KNOW, NONE.
IT CAN GO ANY MINUTE.
[ Sharkey ]
IT'S NOT MOVING.
I CAN'T GET THE BOMB TO BUDGE.
IS THERE ANYTHING
WE CAN DO TO HELP, SIR?
YOU CAN LAY AFT
TO THE MISSILE ROOM,
SEND DOWN THE HOIST GEAR.
IF WE CAN GET THE BOMB
OFF BRADLEY, HE STILL MIGHT
BE ABLE TO PREVENT DETONATION.
WHAT ABOUT THE FLYING SUB?
NO TRACK ON HER, SIR.
THE LAST FIX INDICATED
THAT SHE WAS HEADING
FOR THE BOTTOM.
SPARKS, SEE IF YOU CAN
CONTACT THE FLYING SUB.
AYE, SIR.
WHERE'S VULCAN?
SHE'S COME TO
A DEAD STOP, SIR,
APPROXIMATELY OVER THE POSITION
WHERE THE FLYING SUB WENT DOWN.
I CAN'T BUDGE IT.
[ Nelson On Radio ]
CHIEF? BRADLEY?
THE HOIST GEAR'S
COMING DOWN TO YOU.
WE'LL GET THE BOMB ABOARD
SEAVIEW, AND THE TWO OF YOU
MAKE IT UP HERE ON THE DOUBLE.
SHARKEY, HERE IT COMES.
GRAB IT.
WE'VE GOT THE HOIST, SIR.
I'LL SIGNAL WHEN IT'S ATTACHED.
AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE DOC.
I'LL HAVE HIM ABOARD IN NO TIME.
[ Both Groaning ]
[ Coughing ]
WHAT HAPPENED, SIR?
THEY MUST HAVE HIT US
WITH A LASER BEAM.
[ Switches Clicking ]
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.
FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME? OVER.
FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.
IF WE'RE GETTING THROUGH,
GIVE US A SIGNAL.
REPEAT. IF YOU READ US,
GIVE US A SIGNAL.
OH!
THE RADIO'S DEAD.
[ Clanking ]
WHAT'S THAT, SKIPPER?
SOUNDS LIKE THE DIVING BELL.
[ Chuckles ]
THE SEAVIEW MUST HAVE FOUND US
AND SENT THE BELL DOWN.
LET'S NOT KEEP 'EM WAITING.
COME ON.
GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.
PLEASE COME ABOARD.
YOU MAY NOW CONSIDER
YOURSELVES TO BE GUESTS
OF THE SUBMARINE VULCAN.
EASY, NOW.
PUT IT DOWN OVER HERE.
DON'T JAR IT.
THEY'RE BACK.
GIVE ME A HAND HERE.
YOU BADLY HURT?
NO, I THINK I'M ALL RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, CHIEF?
NOTHING WRONG WITH ME THAT
SHUTTING DOWN THAT BOMB
WON'T CURE.
COME ON.
GET THE SHIP'S DOCTOR
ON THE DOUBLE.
NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.
THERE'S NO TIME.
WE STILL HAVE THE BOMB
TO WORRY ABOUT.
I THOUGHT YOU DEFUSED IT.
ONLY ONE CONTROL.
THERE'S STILL TWO MORE.
THE ELECTROLYTIC ACTION
OF THE SEAWATER'S
STILL AFFECTING IT.
IF IT CONTINUES,
WE'VE ONLY GOT MINUTES
TO DEACTIVATE IT.
WE HAVE THE CREW
OF THE SEAVIEW
FLYING SUBMARINE, MR. VADIM.
CAPTAIN CRANE
AND SEAMAN KOWALSKI.
WELCOME ABOARD, CAPTAIN.
BEING SHOT DOWN
AND TAKEN PRISONER
AT THE POINT OF A GUN...
IS NOT MY IDEA OF A WELCOME.
- WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU SERVING?
- THAT IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
WHAT DOES CONCERN US
IS THE CESIUM BOMB.
I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE
IN CONVINCING ADMIRAL NELSON...
THAT ANY RESISTANCE
IS USELESS.
THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVE
NO INTENTION OF GIVING YOU.
I THINK I'LL CHANGE
YOUR MIND.
LOOK HERE.
HERE ARE THE RELATIVE POSITIONS
OF THE VULCAN AND THE SEAVIEW.
THE SEAVIEW IS HELPLESS
TO FIRE UPON US,
WHILE WE, AS YOU KNOW,
HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH
FIREPOWER TO DESTROY HER.
- BUT YOU WON'T.
- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?
THEY MUST HAVE THE CESIUM SEVEN
ABOARD BY NOW.
IF YOU DESTROY THE SEAVIEW,
THE BOMB GOES WITH IT.
THAT MEANS THAT YOU
AND THE VULCAN WILL GO TOO.
I WOULDN'T HESITATE
A MOMENT...
IF IT MEANT KEEPING
THE BOMB OUT OF
YOUR COUNTRY'S POSSESSION.
THAT'S YOUR CHOICE.
MINE IS TO KEEP QUIET.
HOW ABOUT YOU, SAILOR?
ARE YOU WILLING
TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR
SO UNIMPORTANT A REQUEST?
YOU HEARD THE SKIPPER.
I'M WITH HIM.
[ Beeping ]
[ Man ]
THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING
WITH THE BOMB, SIR.
OBVIOUSLY TRYING
TO DEACTIVATE IT.
WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE OUR PLANS.
TAKE THEM TO THE BRIG.
WE'LL GET TO THEM LATER
WHEN WE HAVE MORE TIME.
A GREAT DEAL OF UNNECESSARY
EXERTION, GENTLEMEN.
TAKE THEM AWAY.
SHARKEY'S ALREADY DEACTIVATED
THIS FUSE CONTROL.
THERE ARE TWO MORE.
ONE UP HERE ON THE CASING,
AND YOUR OTHER BEHIND
THIS METAL PLATE.
WE HAVE TO DEFUSE
BOTH OF THEM?
WE DO.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED.
SHARKEY, LET'S HAVE
THE DEFUSING TOOL.
SURE.
NOW, WE HAVE TO
TAKE IT EASY ON THESE TWO.
ONE SLIP, ONE JAR,
AND OFF SHE GOES.
[ On Speaker ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS MORTON.
WOULD YOU COME TO
THE CONTROL ROOM, PLEASE?
TELL HIM I CAN'T MAKE IT, CHIEF.
COMMANDER, THIS IS
CHIEF SHARKEY. THE ADMIRAL'S
WORKING ON THE BOMB.
HE CAN'T POSSIBLY MAKE IT
UP THERE RIGHT NOW.
CHIEF, TELL THE ADMIRAL
IT'S VITALLY URGENT
THAT HE GETS UP HERE.
IF HE DOESN'T,
NOTHING HE DOES WITH THE BOMB
WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
ALL RIGHT, YOU TAKE OVER.
SHARKEY WILL HELP YOU.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT, SIR.
THE VULCAN'S COMING TOWARD US
AT FLANK SPEED.
MAINTAIN A FIX ON HER.
AYE, SIR.
SPARKS, ARE YOU STILL
GETTING THAT FREQUENCY?
YES, SIR.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO BREAK DOWN,
BUT IT'S THERE ALL RIGHT.
KEEP TRYING TO PIN IT DOWN.
YES, SIR.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE, CHIP?
TWO THINGS.
THE VULCAN'S COMING TOWARD US
AT FLANK SPEED.
I'VE THROWN OUT ANTI-SONAR
AND ANTI-HYDROPHONE BARRIERS,
BUT SHE'S COMING
STRAIGHT AT US
AS THOUGH SHE HAD EYES.
MM-HMM.
WHAT'S THE OTHER THING?
SPARKS HAS PICKED UP
A HIGH-FREQUENCY BEAM
SIMILAR TO A HOMING DEVICE.
I THINK THE VULCAN'S
COMING IN ON IT.
A BEAM FROM SEAVIEW?
YES, SIR.
WHAT'S THE LOCATION?
ALL HE KNOWS IS
IT'S SOMEWHERE AFT.
IT ACTIVATED ABOUT THE TIME
WE BROUGHT THE BOMB ABOARD.
MM-HMM. WELL,
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.
SPARKS, YOU SURE
ABOUT THAT FREQUENCY?
THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT, SIR.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
WELL, IT DOES IF VULCAN
WAS ABLE TO PLANT
A HOMING DEVICE ABOARD SEAVIEW.
- BUT WHEN COULD
THEY HAVE DONE IT?
- I DON'T KNOW WHEN... OR HOW.
THE IMPORTANT THING
IS THAT IT'S HERE AND IT'S
DIRECTING VULCAN TOWARD US.
ANY CHANCE OF JAMMING
THAT FREQUENCY?
WELL, I HAVE
TO MODIFY EQUIPMENT.
- POSSIBLY IN AN HOUR OR SO
I COULD DO IT.
- NO, NO, NOT ENOUGH TIME.
WHAT ABOUT OUR
MISSILE FIRING CAPACITY?
THEY'RE STILL WORKING
ON THE BURNED-OUT CIRCUITRY.
ANY WORD FROM
THE FLYING SUB?
NO, SIR.
TRY TO CONTACT VULCAN.
I'LL SPEAK TO
WHOEVER'S IN COMMAND.
AYE, SIR.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW
CALLING VULCAN.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW
CALLING VULCAN.
ADMIRAL NELSON WISHES
TO SPEAK WITH YOUR
COMMANDING OFFICER. OVER.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW CALLING
THE SUBMARINE VULCAN.
OVER.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW
CALLING VULCAN.
ADMIRAL NELSON
REQUESTS PERMISSION TO SPEAK
WITH YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER.
OVER.
I THINK I SHOULD TALK TO
THE GOOD ADMIRAL, HUH?
THIS IS MR. VADIM
OF THE VULCAN.
GOOD TO TALK TO YOU
AT LONG LAST, ADMIRAL.
YOU'RE APPROACHING US
AT FLANK SPEED.
WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS,
MR. VADIM?
SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
I INTEND TO TAKE
THE CESIUM BOMB.
THERE'LL BE NO BOMB
NOR SEAVIEW NOR VULCAN...
IF YOU DON'T LET US
GET ON AND DEACTIVATE IT.
COME, COME, ADMIRAL.
THAT'S THE OLDEST GAMBIT
IN THE WORLD.
IF THAT BOMB WERE GOING
TO GO OFF, IT WOULD HAVE
DONE IT LONG BEFORE THIS.
IT'S ACTIVATED NOW!
THERE ARE LESS THAN 15 MINUTES
BEFORE IT EXPLODES.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU,
ADMIRAL. I AM PREPARING
A BOARDING PARTY.
I TELL YOU,
THE BOMB IS GOING TO EXPLODE.
NOW, WILL YOU VEER OFF
AND LET US DEACTIVATE IT?
FIFTEEN MINUTES, YOU SAY?
THAT'S RIGHT.
VERY WELL.
YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR TIME.
I WILL RECONTACT YOU THEN.
SHALL I REDUCE SPEED, SIR?
CERTAINLY NOT.
CONTINUE ON COURSE.
WHEN WE REACH 500 YARDS,
OPEN FIRE WITH THE LASER BEAM.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM, SIR?
NOT FOR A MOMENT.
THE ADMIRAL'S NO FOOL.
HE'S MERELY STALLING FOR TIME
SO HE CAN REPAIR HIS
MISSILE SYSTEMS AND ATTACK US.
PREPARE THE LASER GUN.
PREPARE LASER BEAM.
[ Man On Speaker ]
PREPARE LASER BEAM. YES, SIR.
CALL YOUR DISTANCE.
600 YARDS.
550 YARDS.
500 YARDS.
FIRE.
FIRE!
[ Ticking Rapidly ]
DOC, IT'S GONNA BLOW!
WHERE'S THE DEFUSING TOOL?
THERE IT IS.
HURRY UP!
[ Whirring ]
DOC, THERE'S SOME WIRING
IN THIS THING.
IT'S A NEUTRALIZER.
IT GROUNDS THE TOOL
TO KEEP IT FROM SETTING OFF
THE BOMB BY ELECTRONIC IMPULSE.
[ Ticking Slows Down ]
WELL, THAT...
THAT'LL HOLD US FOR A BIT.
ABOUT 22 MINUTES.
WHAT IS OUR CONDITION?
POWER'S OUT
IN ALL ENGINES.
REACTOR CONTROL'S DAMAGED.
HULL AND CIRCUITRY A-OKAY.
WELL, NOW, OUR FRIENDS ABOARD
THE VULCAN ARE APPARENTLY
PROCEEDING ACCORDING TO PLAN.
STAND BY TO REPEL BOARDERS.
NOW HEAR THIS.
ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS.
PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS.
ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS.
PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
WHAT ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS?
THEY'RE OPERATING
NORMALLY, SIR.
HMM. ANY WORD YET
FROM CAPTAIN CRANE?
NEGATIVE, SIR.
[ Sighs ]
HOW ABOUT THAT, UH,
HOMING SIGNAL?
ANY IDEA WHERE
IT'S COMING FROM?
WELL, YOU CAN LISTEN
FOR YOURSELF, SIR.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE,
BUT IF I HAD TO MAKE A GUESS,
I'D SAY IT WAS COMING
FROM THE MISSILE ROOM.
MMM.
WHAT IS OUR POSITION,
MR. ZANE?
400 YARDS ASTERN,
700 FEET ABOVE THE SEAVIEW.
AND HER CONDITION?
LYING DEAD
ON THE BOTTOM, SIR.
VERY SATISFACTORY.
COME TO A DEAD STOP.
WE SHALL ALLOW ADMIRAL NELSON
A FEW MOMENTS TO ASSESS
HIS HELPLESS POSITION,
AND THEN WE SHALL RECONTACT.
ALL STOP.
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
[ Man On Speaker ]
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY, SIR.
YOU KNOW, MR. ZANE,
I HAVE A FEELING OUR ASSIGNMENT
IS COMING TO AN END.
WITHIN THE HOUR,
THE CESIUM BOMB AND THE SEAVIEW
SHALL BE OURS.
HOW'S IT GOING?
WE STILL HAVE TWO DEVICES
TO DEFUSE, AND WE'VE ONLY GOT
ABOUT 18 MINUTES TO DO IT.
LET'S HOPE THAT'S ON
THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE.
CHIEF,
START SEARCHING THIS ROOM
FOR A HOMING DEVICE.
[ Sharkey ] HOMING DEVICE?
THERE'S A HIGH-FREQUENCY BEAM
LEADING THE VULCAN TO US.
SPARKS THINKS IT'S COMING
FROM THIS AREA. NOW, LOOK FOR
THE TRANSMITTER AND FIND IT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
YOU TWO MEN
HEARD THE ADMIRAL.
COVER THAT AREA.
RAY, RON... COME WITH ME.
SOLID STEEL.
NO WAY OUT EXCEPT
THROUGH THAT DOOR.
THEN THAT'S THE WAY
WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE.
THAT'S FINE WITH ME, SKIPPER.
JUST GIVE ME AN IDEA
HOW WE WANGLE IT.
WELL, IF THEY WON'T
LET US OUT,
MAYBE WE CAN
INVITE SOMEONE IN.
GIVE ME A HAND WITH THIS,
ALL RIGHT? LET'S SEE
WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THAT.
[ Grunts ]
OKAY.
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?
EXTEND OUR INVITATION.
WELL, ONE MORE TO GO.
IT'S UNDERNEATH
THIS METAL PLATE.
UH-HUH.
[ Whirring ]
SHARKEY, BELAY THE SEARCH.
WE'VE FOUND OUR HOMING DEVICE.
WHERE'D YOU FIND
THAT THING, SIR?
THAT? DOC SAID IT WAS
A NEUTRALIZING GIMMICK
FOR THE BOMB.
[ Whirring Stops ]
HEY, DOC, YOU COULDN'T BE...
YOU'RE WORKING FOR...
WHY, YOU ROTTEN...
I WAS...
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
ADMIRAL, I JUST
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.
THE BOMB DOES.
NOW, GIVE ME A HAND.
AYE, SIR.
GET THAT UNDER THERE.
YES, SIR.
HELP! HELP!
COME ON!
LET US OUT OF HERE!
HELP!
HERE HE COMES NOW!
[ Kowalski ]
STOP THE STEAM!
COME ON!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!
HOW MUCH TIME, SIR?
LESS THAN EIGHT MINUTES.
- IT'S GOING! IT'S GOING!
WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED!
- TAKE HIM!
LET GO!
WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED!
WE'RE GONNA BE...
[ Clinking ]
ALL RIGHT,
GET THAT CREWMAN IN HERE.
WOW. THERE SHOULD BE
SOMETHING IN HERE
WE COULD USE, SKIPPER.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, LOOK FOR DYNAMITE,
EXPLOSIVES, T.N.T.
ANYTHING YOU CAN FIND THAT
WE CAN DISABLE THIS SUB.
RIGHT.
THERE'S NOTHING HERE, SKIPPER.
EXCEPT SOME GRENADES.
MAYBE THEY'LL WORK FOR US.
KEEP LOOKING.
IF WE CAN FIND AN EXPLOSIVE
COMPOUND OF SOME KIND, WE...
GET OVER THERE.
[ Man ]
YOU. WHAT DO YOU WANT
IN THE ARMORY?
I'M LOOKING
FOR SOME SPECIAL GEAR
FOR THE BOARDING PARTY.
WELL, HURRY! YOU'RE ASSIGNED
TO MY DETAIL, AND WE'RE
GETTING READY TO SHOVE OFF.
BE RIGHT WITH YA.
BANDAR, HELP!
HELP!
BANDAR, BREAK FOR THE DOOR!
I'VE GOT A GRENADE!
KOWALSKI!
HE'S PULLED THE PIN!
FIND IT.
IT'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
SKIPPER,
IF YOU RELEASE YOUR HAND,
THAT THING'LL GO OFF.
LOOK, I'VE GOT
MY HAND ON THE LEVER.
NOW FIND IT.
HERE IT IS, SIR.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW REPLACE IT.
EASY, EASY.
[ Exhales ]
CAPTAIN, WE DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS GRENADE WORKS.
EVEN IF I REPLACE THIS PIN,
THIS THING MAY STILL GO OFF.
IT'S STILL A CHANCE
WE HAVE TO TAKE.
NOW PUT IT IN THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, I'M GONNA THROW
THIS GRENADE IN THE CORRIDOR.
IF IT EXPLODES,
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
WE CAN GET AWAY FROM HERE.
NOW, HIT THE DECK.
I GUESS IT WORKED, SIR.
WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.
THEY'LL BE LOOKING
FOR THESE MEN.
COME ON.
HERE, TAKE THESE MASKS.
AND SOME OF
THESE GAS GRENADES.
IF WE MOVE FAST ENOUGH,
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
WE CAN GIVE MR. VADIM
A LITTLE TROUBLE.
SEAVIEW,
THIS IS THE VULCAN.
ADMIRAL NELSON,
WE ARE PREPARING TO BOARD
THE SEAVIEW.
STAND BY FOR BOARDING PARTY.
GET ME A MIKE,
WILL YOU, CHIEF?
AYE, SIR.
HOLD IT FOR ME.
I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE,
THIS BOMB IS ACTIVATED.
WE ONLY GOT SIX MINUTES LEFT
BEFORE IT EXPLODES.
I STILL DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THEN YOU'RE WELCOME
TO JOIN YOUR MAN BRADLEY...
AND THE REST OF US IN ETERNITY
WHEN IT GOES.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO PROCEED.
ANY SHOW OF RESISTANCE
ON YOUR PART, AND WE SHALL
KILL OUR TWO PRISONERS...
CAPTAIN CRANE
AND SEAMAN KOWALSKI.
[ Sighs ]
YOU ARE A FOOL!
IF YOU WANNA SAVE ALL OF
OUR LIVES, THEN LAY OFF
TILL WE GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.
THAT'S ALL.
DAMAGE CONTROL REPORTS
THE TORPEDO FIRING CIRCUITRY
IS PARTIALLY REPAIRED.
WE CAN LAUNCH
MANUALLY NOW.
ALL RIGHT, GET A...
GET A FIX ON THE VULCAN.
PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE FIRING.
I SAID GET A FIX ON THE VULCAN
AND PREPARE FOR
IMMEDIATE FIRING.
I KNOW LEE AND KOWALSKI
ARE ABOARD!
- WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.
NOW, PREPARE FOR FIRING.
- AYE, SIR.
RON, PHIL, RAY.
SIR, MAYBE WE CAN FIND
SOME WAY TO...
THERE'S NO WAY!
WILL YOU GET BUSY?
YES, SIR.
SHALL WE PROCEED, SIR?
OF COURSE.
HAVE THE BOARDING PARTY
STAND BY IN SCUBA GEAR
WITH UNDERWATER EXPLOSIVES.
WE'LL BLOW THE HATCH
AND MOVE IN.
[ All Coughing ]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, IT'S JUST THE SHOULDER.
LET'S FIND SOME SCUBA GEAR
AND GET OUT OF HERE.
[ Morton ]
TORPEDOES READY TO FIRE, SIR.
FIRING COORDINATES?
YES, SIR. THE VULCAN'S
ONLY 300 YARDS AWAY.
THE CONCUSSION OF
THE HITS IS LIABLE TO...
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT DOES.
WE HAVE ONLY MINUTES LEFT.
FIRE!
AYE, SIR.
FIRE ONE.
FIRE TWO.
SECURE THE BOMB!
[ Crane ]
JUST A LITTLE FURTHER.
HANG ON.
I'VE GOT IT.
HE'S DEAD.
SEND OUT
A RESCUE DIVING PARTY.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
CRANE AND KOWALSKI.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Crane On Speaker ]
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, ADMIRAL.
REQUEST PERMISSION
TO RETURN ABOARD.
OVER.
PERMISSION GRANTED
WITH PLEASURE.
THE CARGO PLANE
IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
- HAVE HIM MAINTAIN A STEADY
DIRECTIONAL BEAM FOR THE PLANE.
- AYE, SIR.
ETHEL.
YES, IT IS.
IT'S ETHEL SHARKEY.
DOC!
DOC BRADLEY! HOW ARE YOU?
YOU OLD SON OF A GUN!
WELL, THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE.
IT'S BEEN... WELL,
LET'S FORGET HOW MANY YEARS.
[ Sharkey ]
I HEARD THERE WAS A CIVILIAN
BOMB EXPERT ABOARD,
BUT I NEVER FIGURED
THAT THE SQUINTY LITTLE
FOUR-EYED...
YOU SON OF A GUN!
HOW ARE YOU?
FINE.
I, UH, TAKE IT
YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER.
KNOW EACH OTHER?
WE WERE KIDS TOGETHER
ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE.
WE GREW UP TOGETHER.
AND TO THINK THAT
ETHEL SHARKEY...
GREW UP TO BE A C.P.O.
ON THE SEAVIEW.
LISTEN...
- ETHEL SHARKEY?
- ETHELBERT.
OH.
FRANCIS ETHELBERT SHARKEY.
[ Sighs ]
YES, SIR.
THAT BLIP, SIR,
LOOKS LIKE A SUB TO ME.
GET A READING.
IT'S 2,000 YARDS SOUTHWEST.
IT'S MOVING FAST.
DEFINITELY A SUB, SIR.
UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT
UNDERWATER.
2,000 YARDS SOUTHWEST.
A SUBMARINE?
I THOUGHT WE HAD
A WHOLE LINE OF PICKET SHIPS
AROUND THE AREA.
WE HAVE, DOCTOR,
BUT THIS IS A BIG OCEAN.
SPARKS,
CONTACT THAT SUBMARINE.
REQUEST IMMEDIATE
RECOGNITION CODE.
ALSO, ALERT THE PICKET SHIPS.
AYE, SIR.
[ Crane ]
STAND BY TO SOUND
GENERAL QUARTERS.
CHIEF, YOUR REUNION
WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
REPORT TO STATIONS.
AYE, SIR.
TALK TO YOU LATER.
WE'RE ON A RENDEZVOUS COURSE
TO PICK UP A TOP SECRET CESIUM
SEVEN BOMB FROM THAT PLANE.
AN UNIDENTIFIED SUB SHOWS UP.
COINCIDENCE?
I DOUBT IT.
CAPTAIN, HEAVY CONCUSSION.
UNDERWATER
SHIP-TO-AIR MISSILE.
BATTLE STATIONS!
BATTLE STATIONS!
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
THEIR TARGET MUST BE
OUR CARGO PLANE.
IF THAT CESIUM BOMB EXPLODES,
HALF THE WORLD WILL BE GONE!
MISSILE'S ON INTERCEPT COURSE
WITH THE PLANE, SIR.
IMPACT IMMINENT.
THE BLIPS ARE GONE, SIR.
MUST'VE BEEN A DIRECT HIT.
THE BOMB.
DIVE. ALL DIVE!
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
NO BOMB DETONATION.
WELL, IF THE CESIUM SEVEN
WERE GONNA GO,
WE'D BE WIPED OUT BY NOW.
IT'S STILL OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
PATTERSON, DID YOU GET
A FIX ON THE IMPACT POINT?
WELL, AS NEAR
AS I CAN FIGURE, CAPTAIN,
THE PLANE MUST HAVE
HIT THE WATER ABOUT
SIX MILES NORTH-NORTHWEST.
TAKE HER UP TO 90 FEET.
PROCEED NORTH-NORTHWEST
AT FLANK SPEED.
AYE, SIR.
UP BUBBLE FIVE DEGREES.
LEVEL OFF AT 90 FEET.
COME TO COURSE 0-7-0.
ENGINEERING,
GIVE US FLANK SPEED.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
WE'VE GOT TO LOCATE THAT BOMB.
THE ELECTROLYTIC ACTION
OF THE SEAWATER WILL ACTIVATE
THE FIRING MECHANISM.
- HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?
- NOT MORE THAN FOUR HOURS.
MMM. BETTER ACTIVATE
THE ELECTRONIC SCANNING DEVICES.
ACTIVATE ALL ELECTRONIC
DETECTION DEVICES.
AYE, SIR.
LET'S SEE IF
WE CAN SPOT THE WRECKAGE
FROM THE OBSERVATION NOSE.
KOWALSKI, HAVE YOU
LOCATED THAT SUB?
NO, SIR,
I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.
IT'S LIKE IT DISAPPEARED.
WELL, WE HAVE JUST
THREE AND A HALF HOURS
TO FIND IT AND STOP IT.
WELL, YOU'RE THE
ALLIED DEFENSE COMMISSION
BOMB EXPERT.
CAN YOU DO IT?
I'M NOT SURE.
BUT IF I CAN'T...
WE'LL FIND IT FOR YOU.
YOU DISARM IT.
ANY FURTHER CONTACT
WITH THAT SUB?
NO, SIR.
NO FURTHER REPORTS FROM SONAR.
THEY'VE PROBABLY LEFT THE AREA.
WHY NOT?
THEY DID THEIR JOB.
THAT CESIUM BOMB COULD HAVE BEEN
THE GREATEST DETERRENT TO WAR
WE'VE COME UP WITH YET.
WELL, IT-IT STILL MAY BE
IF WE CAN CARRY OUT
THE ORIGINAL PLAN...
GET IT ABOARD SEAVIEW
AND THEN TAKE IT TO OUR
UNDERWATER DEFENSE COMPLEX.
WELL, IF WE CAN'T,
THIS PART OF THE WORLD
WILL BE GONE.
AND THERE'S NO WAY
TO GET CLEAR IF SHE EXPLODES?
NONE.
THE AVERAGE DEPTH
OF THIS WATER
IS 800 FEET.
CAN YOU MAKE THE DIVE
AND DEACTIVATE AT THAT DEPTH?
I CAN STAND IT
IF YOUR DIVING GEAR CAN.
WITH OUR
ANTI-COMPRESSION OXYGEN,
I THINK IT CAN.
UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT ON BOTTOM
DEAD AHEAD, ADMIRAL.
COULD BE THE BOMB.
[ Morton ]
ALL STOP.
[ Nelson ]
THERE IT IS.
ADMIRAL, IT'S
ALREADY ACTIVATED.
POSITION DIRECTLY
OVER THE BOMB...
700 FEET.
LEVEL OFF AT 700 FEET,
AND HOLD DIRECTLY OVER
THE BOMB.
WELL, I'M READY
TO GO OUT, ADMIRAL.
I'LL NEED ONE MAN TO ASSIST.
MM-HMM.
HOW ABOUT, UH...
WHAT ABOUT SHARKEY?
ETHEL? CAN'T THINK
OF A BETTER MAN.
LET'S GO.
SKIPPER, THAT SUB'S
ON THE MOVE AGAIN
APPROACHING AFT.
5-0-5 YARDS
AND CLOSING FAST.
SPARKS, TRY TO CONTACT THAT SUB.
AYE, SIR.
ACTIVATE AFT CAMERA,
TELESCOPIC LENS.
AYE, SIR.
"VULCAN"?
WHAT COUNTRY IS THAT?
GIVE ME A CHECK
ON SUBMARINE VULCAN.
NATIONALITY UNKNOWN.
GENERAL QUARTERS.
MISSILE ROOM,
STAND BY TO LOAD MISSILES.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
INTERNATIONAL MARINE REGISTRY
SHOWS NO LISTING FOR A SUBMARINE
VULCAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
ALL AHEAD FLANK.
TWENTY DEGREES STARBOARD RUDDER.
WE CAN'T LEAVE THE BOMB NOW!
IT'LL EXPLODE!
WE'RE A SITTING DUCK HERE.
WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN
MANEUVERABILITY.
TORPEDOES APPROACHING
ASTERN!
ALL AHEAD FULL.
HARD RIGHT RUDDER.
RETURN FIRE.
MISSILE ROOM,
READY TORPEDOES ONE AND TWO.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
LOAD TWO!
TORPEDOES APPROACHING ASTERN!
LEFT FULL RUDDER!
[ Explosion ]
[ Explosion ]
MISSILE ROOM, FIRE ONE!
FIRE TWO!
SKIPPER, CANNOT...
REPEAT... CANNOT FIRE.
MISSILE ROOM,
WHAT'S YOUR CONDITION?
NOT TOO GOOD, SIR.
THE FIRING MECHANISM
IS BURNED OUT.
- HOW LONG TO MAKE REPAIRS?
- CAN'T TELL, SIR.
LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR JOB.
WHERE'S THAT SUB?
SONAR'S SHORTED OUT, SIR.
I CAN'T TRACK HER.
HYDROPHONE?
IT'S OUT TOO, SIR.
GET 'EM REPAIRED ON THE DOUBLE.
WE'VE GOTTA GET A FIX ON THAT
SUB BEFORE IT ATTACKS AGAIN.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CHIP, GET WORK DETAILS
WORKING ON THE CIRCUITRY.
FORGET THE MINOR HULL DAMAGE.
DOESN'T LOOK GOOD,
DOES IT?
LOOK, WE'VE BEEN
IN WORSE FIXES.
YES, BUT IF
THEY ATTACK AGAIN,
WE CAN'T RETALIATE.
WITH THE CIRCUITRY OUT,
WE CAN'T FIRE OUR MISSILES.
I'M NOT AS CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
AS I AM ABOUT THE BOMB.
YOU STILL WILLING
TO GO DOWN FOR IT?
OF COURSE.
GOOD. LAUNCH THE FLYING SUB
AND FIND THE VULCAN.
I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT,
BUT KEEP IT BUSY...
SO WE CAN GET
BACK TO THE BOMB.
RIGHT, SIR.
WELL, COMMANDER?
THE SEAVIEW'S APPARENTLY
MOTIONLESS IN THE WATER.
- SHALL WE FINISH HER OFF NOW?
- WHAT FOR?
OBVIOUSLY, SHE CANNOT FIRE BACK,
OR SHE WOULD HAVE
DONE SO BY NOW.
- NO, I'D RATHER CAPTURE
THAN DESTROY HER.
- I'LL ALERT A BOARDING PARTY.
THERE'S ALWAYS TIME
FOR THOSE LESSER DETAILS,
COMMANDER.
LESSER, SIR?
THE SEAVIEW WOULD BE
A GREAT PRIZE TO TAKE BACK
TO OUR HOMELAND.
WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE?
THE CESIUM BOMB.
EXACTLY.
WE'VE SUCCEEDED
IN BRINGING IT DOWN.
WE'VE DISABLED THE SEAVIEW.
NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT
IS TO FIND THE BOMB
AND BRING IT ON BOARD.
THEN WE SHALL RETURN
FOR THE SEAVIEW.
VERY WELL, SIR.
ALL AHEAD STANDARD.
COME TO COURSE 1-4-7.
AND PREPARE THE SEARCH
FOR THE CESIUM BOMB.
YES, SIR.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
THE FLYING SUB'S CHECKED OUT
AND READY FOR LAUNCH.
GOOD.
NOW, WE'LL BUY ENOUGH TIME
FOR YOU TO GET DOWN
TO THAT BOMB.
DON'T, UH, TANGLE
WITH THE VULCAN.
YOU HAVE NO WEAPONS
HEAVY ENOUGH.
JUST TRY TO KEEP HER BUSY.
RIGHT. WILL DO.
DOCTOR, MIGHT AS WELL
GET YOU SUITED UP
AND READY FOR YOUR DIVE.
- PREPARE TO LAUNCH.
- [ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
LAUNCH.
AYE, SIR.
MR. VADIM,
THE SEAVIEW HAS JUST
LAUNCHED A MINIATURE SUB.
PROBABLY A FLYING SUBMARINE.
WHAT'S HER COURSE?
2-3-0.
ALTER COURSE... 2-3-0.
YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW HER?
OF COURSE.
THE FLYING SUB IS IDEAL
FOR LANDING ALONGSIDE
THE BOMB AND DISARMING IT.
ALTER COURSE AND
INCREASE SPEED TO FLANK.
VERY WELL, SIR.
RONNIE, CHECK OUT THAT LUNG.
[ Morton ]
CONTROL TO MISSILE ROOM.
HYDROPHONE'S OPERATIVE AGAIN.
WE'VE PICKED UP THE VULCAN.
SHE'S TRAILING THE FLYING SUB.
WHAT'S THE POSITION
OF THE BOMB?
APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES
TO THE NORTHEAST, SIR.
COME ABOUT AND HEAD FOR IT
AT FLANK SPEED.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Beeping ]
LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING,
SKIPPER. THAT MUST BE
THE VULCAN TRAILING US.
UH-HUH. SHE'S PICKED UP
OUR TRAIL, ALL RIGHT.
DO WE GO TO FLANK SPEED
AND MAKE A RUN FOR IT?
NO.
WE'LL HOLD AT ONE-THIRD
AND START A SEARCH PATTERN.
THAT'LL PULL THE VULCAN
AWAY FROM THE BOMB AREA.
I GET IT, SKIPPER.
WE'LL MAKE THE VULCAN BELIEVE
WE'RE SEARCHING FOR
THE BOMB OURSELVES.
THAT'S THE IDEA.
I WAS JUST
THINKING, SKIPPER.
WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO KEEP HER FOOLED FOREVER.
JUST LONG ENOUGH
TO LET THE SEAVIEW
PICK UP THAT BOMB.
WHAT IF WE CAN'T
KEEP HER FOOLED...
AND SHE GOES AFTER
THE SEAVIEW AGAIN?
THEN WE'LL GO AFTER THE VULCAN.
SKIPPER, WE'VE GOT NO WEAPONS
ABOARD TO ATTACK THAT SUB WITH.
- THEY'LL BLOW US
OUT OF THE WATER.
- I KNOW, KOWALSKI.
BUT THOSE ARE OUR ORDERS...
KEEP THE VULCAN OCCUPIED
NO MATTER WHAT.
YES, SIR.
[ Beeping ]
[ Beeping Rapidly ]
WE'VE GOT IT.
THAT'S THE CESIUM BOMB.
YOU KNOW, DOC, GOING OUT
ON THIS DIVE WITH YOU TAKES
ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO GO
DIVING INTO THE EAST RIVER?
I SURE DO.
ONLY THIS TIME...
IT'S A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT
THAN PICKING UP BOTTLES
OR PIECES OF METALLIC JUNK...
FOR THE FEW CENTS
THAT WE COULD SELL 'EM FOR.
IT SURE IS.
NOW, LISTEN, ABOUT THIS BOMB,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE IN FOR?
WELL, IT'S GOT
THREE DETERRENT DEVICES ON IT.
HERE, HOLD ON TO THIS.
WE MAY NEED IT
FOR THE SECOND FUSE.
THAT'S A PRETTY
RUGGED CONTRAPTION WE'LL BE
FOOLING AROUND WITH, HUH?
HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED.
ALMOST HUMAN IN ITS SENSITIVITY.
THE WORD IS "HANDLE WITH CARE."
[ Morton On Speaker ]
CONTROL ROOM TO ADMIRAL.
WE HAVE A FIX
ON THE CESIUM BOMB.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S HAVE IT.
200 YARDS
OFF THE PORT BOW.
IT'S STILL AT
800-FOOT DEPTH.
GOOD.
ALL STOP. HOLD TRIM.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
SET?
YES, SIR.
READY TO GO.
WE'LL KEEP IN RADIO CONTACT,
AND GOOD LUCK.
THANK YOU, SIR.
WHAT'S THE COURSE AND DISTANCE
ON THAT FLYING SUBMARINE?
0-8-0 AT A THOUSAND YARDS.
THEN WE'VE BEEN TRICKED.
SIR?
THAT'S FROM OUR AGENT
ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.
THE HOMING DEVICE
HE HAS WITH HIM.
HIS ORDERS WERE TO ACTIVATE IT
AS SOON AS
THEY'VE LOCATED THE BOMB.
BUT THE FLYING SUBMARINE.
WE'VE BEEN DECOYED.
PREPARE LASER BEAM
FOR IMMEDIATE FIRING.
YES, SIR.
PREPARE LASER BEAM TO FIRE.
[ Man On Speaker ]
YES, SIR.
COURSE 0-8-0.
ALL AHEAD FLANK.
WE'LL BLOW THAT FLYING SUB
OUT OF THE WATER.
BRADLEY CALLING THE SEAVIEW.
WE'RE AT THE BOMB NOW.
THE FIRING MECHANISM'S
ALREADY ACTIVATED.
THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING
HOW LONG WE HAVE
UNTIL BLAST TIME.
CAN YOU REVERSE IT, BRADLEY?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT WE'LL START DEACTIVATION.
WE MIGHT AS WELL.
THERE'S NO PLACE ANY OF US
CAN RUN TO NOW.
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE DOING
ALL RIGHT, SKIPPER.
MM-HMM.
ANY PARTICULAR COURSE
YOU WANT SET NOW?
NO, NO.
WE'LL JUST KEEP
OUR REGULAR
SEARCH PATTERN GOING.
[ Sighs ]
THE SEAVIEW SHOULD HAVE
FOUND THE BOMB BY NOW.
AND DR. BRADLEY WILL...
[ Beeping Rapidly ]
THE VULCAN'S STARTING
TO CLOSE IN, SIR.
AND AT FLANK SPEED.
LOOKS LIKE OUR TIME
AS A DECOY IS ABOUT OVER.
- DO WE TRY TO OUTRUN HER, SIR?
- NO.
WE'LL STILL TRY
TO STALL FOR TIME.
YES, SIR.
MR. VADIM?
WE'RE CLOSING IN
ON THE FLYING SUBMARINE
RAPIDLY, SIR.
WHAT'S OUR DISTANCE?
400 YARDS.
- LOCK IN YOUR SIGHTS.
- YES, SIR.
- LOCK IN YOUR LASER BEAMS.
- [ Man On Speaker ]
YES, SIR.
250 YARDS, SIR.
THAT'LL DO NICELY. FIRE.
FIRE!
[ Ticking ]
HOLD IT, SHARKEY.
IF SHE EVER SLIPS...
I'VE GOT IT, DOC.
LOOK OUT, DOC.
SHE'S SLIPPING.
GET IT OFF ME, SHARKEY!
I'LL GET IT, DOC.
GET READY TO MOVE OUT.
THE BOMB.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
[ Ticking Rapidly ]
IT'S GOING WILD, SHARKEY.
APPROACHING DETONATION.
THE BOMB'S
GOING TO EXPLODE.
THE CONTROL SETTING
TO YOUR RIGHT...
MOVE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
[ Ticking Slows Down ]
GOOD WORK, DOC.
SHE'S DEFUSED.
NO. ONLY
PARTIALLY DEACTIVATED.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?
SO FAR AS I KNOW, NONE.
IT CAN GO ANY MINUTE.
[ Sharkey ]
IT'S NOT MOVING.
I CAN'T GET THE BOMB TO BUDGE.
IS THERE ANYTHING
WE CAN DO TO HELP, SIR?
YOU CAN LAY AFT
TO THE MISSILE ROOM,
SEND DOWN THE HOIST GEAR.
IF WE CAN GET THE BOMB
OFF BRADLEY, HE STILL MIGHT
BE ABLE TO PREVENT DETONATION.
WHAT ABOUT THE FLYING SUB?
NO TRACK ON HER, SIR.
THE LAST FIX INDICATED
THAT SHE WAS HEADING
FOR THE BOTTOM.
SPARKS, SEE IF YOU CAN
CONTACT THE FLYING SUB.
AYE, SIR.
WHERE'S VULCAN?
SHE'S COME TO
A DEAD STOP, SIR,
APPROXIMATELY OVER THE POSITION
WHERE THE FLYING SUB WENT DOWN.
I CAN'T BUDGE IT.
[ Nelson On Radio ]
CHIEF? BRADLEY?
THE HOIST GEAR'S
COMING DOWN TO YOU.
WE'LL GET THE BOMB ABOARD
SEAVIEW, AND THE TWO OF YOU
MAKE IT UP HERE ON THE DOUBLE.
SHARKEY, HERE IT COMES.
GRAB IT.
WE'VE GOT THE HOIST, SIR.
I'LL SIGNAL WHEN IT'S ATTACHED.
AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE DOC.
I'LL HAVE HIM ABOARD IN NO TIME.
[ Both Groaning ]
[ Coughing ]
WHAT HAPPENED, SIR?
THEY MUST HAVE HIT US
WITH A LASER BEAM.
[ Switches Clicking ]
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.
FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME? OVER.
FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.
IF WE'RE GETTING THROUGH,
GIVE US A SIGNAL.
REPEAT. IF YOU READ US,
GIVE US A SIGNAL.
OH!
THE RADIO'S DEAD.
[ Clanking ]
WHAT'S THAT, SKIPPER?
SOUNDS LIKE THE DIVING BELL.
[ Chuckles ]
THE SEAVIEW MUST HAVE FOUND US
AND SENT THE BELL DOWN.
LET'S NOT KEEP 'EM WAITING.
COME ON.
GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.
PLEASE COME ABOARD.
YOU MAY NOW CONSIDER
YOURSELVES TO BE GUESTS
OF THE SUBMARINE VULCAN.
EASY, NOW.
PUT IT DOWN OVER HERE.
DON'T JAR IT.
THEY'RE BACK.
GIVE ME A HAND HERE.
YOU BADLY HURT?
NO, I THINK I'M ALL RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, CHIEF?
NOTHING WRONG WITH ME THAT
SHUTTING DOWN THAT BOMB
WON'T CURE.
COME ON.
GET THE SHIP'S DOCTOR
ON THE DOUBLE.
NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.
THERE'S NO TIME.
WE STILL HAVE THE BOMB
TO WORRY ABOUT.
I THOUGHT YOU DEFUSED IT.
ONLY ONE CONTROL.
THERE'S STILL TWO MORE.
THE ELECTROLYTIC ACTION
OF THE SEAWATER'S
STILL AFFECTING IT.
IF IT CONTINUES,
WE'VE ONLY GOT MINUTES
TO DEACTIVATE IT.
WE HAVE THE CREW
OF THE SEAVIEW
FLYING SUBMARINE, MR. VADIM.
CAPTAIN CRANE
AND SEAMAN KOWALSKI.
WELCOME ABOARD, CAPTAIN.
BEING SHOT DOWN
AND TAKEN PRISONER
AT THE POINT OF A GUN...
IS NOT MY IDEA OF A WELCOME.
- WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU SERVING?
- THAT IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
WHAT DOES CONCERN US
IS THE CESIUM BOMB.
I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE
IN CONVINCING ADMIRAL NELSON...
THAT ANY RESISTANCE
IS USELESS.
THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVE
NO INTENTION OF GIVING YOU.
I THINK I'LL CHANGE
YOUR MIND.
LOOK HERE.
HERE ARE THE RELATIVE POSITIONS
OF THE VULCAN AND THE SEAVIEW.
THE SEAVIEW IS HELPLESS
TO FIRE UPON US,
WHILE WE, AS YOU KNOW,
HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH
FIREPOWER TO DESTROY HER.
- BUT YOU WON'T.
- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?
THEY MUST HAVE THE CESIUM SEVEN
ABOARD BY NOW.
IF YOU DESTROY THE SEAVIEW,
THE BOMB GOES WITH IT.
THAT MEANS THAT YOU
AND THE VULCAN WILL GO TOO.
I WOULDN'T HESITATE
A MOMENT...
IF IT MEANT KEEPING
THE BOMB OUT OF
YOUR COUNTRY'S POSSESSION.
THAT'S YOUR CHOICE.
MINE IS TO KEEP QUIET.
HOW ABOUT YOU, SAILOR?
ARE YOU WILLING
TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR
SO UNIMPORTANT A REQUEST?
YOU HEARD THE SKIPPER.
I'M WITH HIM.
[ Beeping ]
[ Man ]
THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING
WITH THE BOMB, SIR.
OBVIOUSLY TRYING
TO DEACTIVATE IT.
WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE OUR PLANS.
TAKE THEM TO THE BRIG.
WE'LL GET TO THEM LATER
WHEN WE HAVE MORE TIME.
A GREAT DEAL OF UNNECESSARY
EXERTION, GENTLEMEN.
TAKE THEM AWAY.
SHARKEY'S ALREADY DEACTIVATED
THIS FUSE CONTROL.
THERE ARE TWO MORE.
ONE UP HERE ON THE CASING,
AND YOUR OTHER BEHIND
THIS METAL PLATE.
WE HAVE TO DEFUSE
BOTH OF THEM?
WE DO.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED.
SHARKEY, LET'S HAVE
THE DEFUSING TOOL.
SURE.
NOW, WE HAVE TO
TAKE IT EASY ON THESE TWO.
ONE SLIP, ONE JAR,
AND OFF SHE GOES.
[ On Speaker ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS MORTON.
WOULD YOU COME TO
THE CONTROL ROOM, PLEASE?
TELL HIM I CAN'T MAKE IT, CHIEF.
COMMANDER, THIS IS
CHIEF SHARKEY. THE ADMIRAL'S
WORKING ON THE BOMB.
HE CAN'T POSSIBLY MAKE IT
UP THERE RIGHT NOW.
CHIEF, TELL THE ADMIRAL
IT'S VITALLY URGENT
THAT HE GETS UP HERE.
IF HE DOESN'T,
NOTHING HE DOES WITH THE BOMB
WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
ALL RIGHT, YOU TAKE OVER.
SHARKEY WILL HELP YOU.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT, SIR.
THE VULCAN'S COMING TOWARD US
AT FLANK SPEED.
MAINTAIN A FIX ON HER.
AYE, SIR.
SPARKS, ARE YOU STILL
GETTING THAT FREQUENCY?
YES, SIR.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO BREAK DOWN,
BUT IT'S THERE ALL RIGHT.
KEEP TRYING TO PIN IT DOWN.
YES, SIR.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE, CHIP?
TWO THINGS.
THE VULCAN'S COMING TOWARD US
AT FLANK SPEED.
I'VE THROWN OUT ANTI-SONAR
AND ANTI-HYDROPHONE BARRIERS,
BUT SHE'S COMING
STRAIGHT AT US
AS THOUGH SHE HAD EYES.
MM-HMM.
WHAT'S THE OTHER THING?
SPARKS HAS PICKED UP
A HIGH-FREQUENCY BEAM
SIMILAR TO A HOMING DEVICE.
I THINK THE VULCAN'S
COMING IN ON IT.
A BEAM FROM SEAVIEW?
YES, SIR.
WHAT'S THE LOCATION?
ALL HE KNOWS IS
IT'S SOMEWHERE AFT.
IT ACTIVATED ABOUT THE TIME
WE BROUGHT THE BOMB ABOARD.
MM-HMM. WELL,
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.
SPARKS, YOU SURE
ABOUT THAT FREQUENCY?
THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT, SIR.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
WELL, IT DOES IF VULCAN
WAS ABLE TO PLANT
A HOMING DEVICE ABOARD SEAVIEW.
- BUT WHEN COULD
THEY HAVE DONE IT?
- I DON'T KNOW WHEN... OR HOW.
THE IMPORTANT THING
IS THAT IT'S HERE AND IT'S
DIRECTING VULCAN TOWARD US.
ANY CHANCE OF JAMMING
THAT FREQUENCY?
WELL, I HAVE
TO MODIFY EQUIPMENT.
- POSSIBLY IN AN HOUR OR SO
I COULD DO IT.
- NO, NO, NOT ENOUGH TIME.
WHAT ABOUT OUR
MISSILE FIRING CAPACITY?
THEY'RE STILL WORKING
ON THE BURNED-OUT CIRCUITRY.
ANY WORD FROM
THE FLYING SUB?
NO, SIR.
TRY TO CONTACT VULCAN.
I'LL SPEAK TO
WHOEVER'S IN COMMAND.
AYE, SIR.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW
CALLING VULCAN.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW
CALLING VULCAN.
ADMIRAL NELSON WISHES
TO SPEAK WITH YOUR
COMMANDING OFFICER. OVER.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW CALLING
THE SUBMARINE VULCAN.
OVER.
S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW
CALLING VULCAN.
ADMIRAL NELSON
REQUESTS PERMISSION TO SPEAK
WITH YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER.
OVER.
I THINK I SHOULD TALK TO
THE GOOD ADMIRAL, HUH?
THIS IS MR. VADIM
OF THE VULCAN.
GOOD TO TALK TO YOU
AT LONG LAST, ADMIRAL.
YOU'RE APPROACHING US
AT FLANK SPEED.
WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS,
MR. VADIM?
SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
I INTEND TO TAKE
THE CESIUM BOMB.
THERE'LL BE NO BOMB
NOR SEAVIEW NOR VULCAN...
IF YOU DON'T LET US
GET ON AND DEACTIVATE IT.
COME, COME, ADMIRAL.
THAT'S THE OLDEST GAMBIT
IN THE WORLD.
IF THAT BOMB WERE GOING
TO GO OFF, IT WOULD HAVE
DONE IT LONG BEFORE THIS.
IT'S ACTIVATED NOW!
THERE ARE LESS THAN 15 MINUTES
BEFORE IT EXPLODES.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU,
ADMIRAL. I AM PREPARING
A BOARDING PARTY.
I TELL YOU,
THE BOMB IS GOING TO EXPLODE.
NOW, WILL YOU VEER OFF
AND LET US DEACTIVATE IT?
FIFTEEN MINUTES, YOU SAY?
THAT'S RIGHT.
VERY WELL.
YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR TIME.
I WILL RECONTACT YOU THEN.
SHALL I REDUCE SPEED, SIR?
CERTAINLY NOT.
CONTINUE ON COURSE.
WHEN WE REACH 500 YARDS,
OPEN FIRE WITH THE LASER BEAM.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM, SIR?
NOT FOR A MOMENT.
THE ADMIRAL'S NO FOOL.
HE'S MERELY STALLING FOR TIME
SO HE CAN REPAIR HIS
MISSILE SYSTEMS AND ATTACK US.
PREPARE THE LASER GUN.
PREPARE LASER BEAM.
[ Man On Speaker ]
PREPARE LASER BEAM. YES, SIR.
CALL YOUR DISTANCE.
600 YARDS.
550 YARDS.
500 YARDS.
FIRE.
FIRE!
[ Ticking Rapidly ]
DOC, IT'S GONNA BLOW!
WHERE'S THE DEFUSING TOOL?
THERE IT IS.
HURRY UP!
[ Whirring ]
DOC, THERE'S SOME WIRING
IN THIS THING.
IT'S A NEUTRALIZER.
IT GROUNDS THE TOOL
TO KEEP IT FROM SETTING OFF
THE BOMB BY ELECTRONIC IMPULSE.
[ Ticking Slows Down ]
WELL, THAT...
THAT'LL HOLD US FOR A BIT.
ABOUT 22 MINUTES.
WHAT IS OUR CONDITION?
POWER'S OUT
IN ALL ENGINES.
REACTOR CONTROL'S DAMAGED.
HULL AND CIRCUITRY A-OKAY.
WELL, NOW, OUR FRIENDS ABOARD
THE VULCAN ARE APPARENTLY
PROCEEDING ACCORDING TO PLAN.
STAND BY TO REPEL BOARDERS.
NOW HEAR THIS.
ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS.
PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS.
ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS.
PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
WHAT ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS?
THEY'RE OPERATING
NORMALLY, SIR.
HMM. ANY WORD YET
FROM CAPTAIN CRANE?
NEGATIVE, SIR.
[ Sighs ]
HOW ABOUT THAT, UH,
HOMING SIGNAL?
ANY IDEA WHERE
IT'S COMING FROM?
WELL, YOU CAN LISTEN
FOR YOURSELF, SIR.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE,
BUT IF I HAD TO MAKE A GUESS,
I'D SAY IT WAS COMING
FROM THE MISSILE ROOM.
MMM.
WHAT IS OUR POSITION,
MR. ZANE?
400 YARDS ASTERN,
700 FEET ABOVE THE SEAVIEW.
AND HER CONDITION?
LYING DEAD
ON THE BOTTOM, SIR.
VERY SATISFACTORY.
COME TO A DEAD STOP.
WE SHALL ALLOW ADMIRAL NELSON
A FEW MOMENTS TO ASSESS
HIS HELPLESS POSITION,
AND THEN WE SHALL RECONTACT.
ALL STOP.
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
[ Man On Speaker ]
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY, SIR.
YOU KNOW, MR. ZANE,
I HAVE A FEELING OUR ASSIGNMENT
IS COMING TO AN END.
WITHIN THE HOUR,
THE CESIUM BOMB AND THE SEAVIEW
SHALL BE OURS.
HOW'S IT GOING?
WE STILL HAVE TWO DEVICES
TO DEFUSE, AND WE'VE ONLY GOT
ABOUT 18 MINUTES TO DO IT.
LET'S HOPE THAT'S ON
THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE.
CHIEF,
START SEARCHING THIS ROOM
FOR A HOMING DEVICE.
[ Sharkey ] HOMING DEVICE?
THERE'S A HIGH-FREQUENCY BEAM
LEADING THE VULCAN TO US.
SPARKS THINKS IT'S COMING
FROM THIS AREA. NOW, LOOK FOR
THE TRANSMITTER AND FIND IT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
YOU TWO MEN
HEARD THE ADMIRAL.
COVER THAT AREA.
RAY, RON... COME WITH ME.
SOLID STEEL.
NO WAY OUT EXCEPT
THROUGH THAT DOOR.
THEN THAT'S THE WAY
WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE.
THAT'S FINE WITH ME, SKIPPER.
JUST GIVE ME AN IDEA
HOW WE WANGLE IT.
WELL, IF THEY WON'T
LET US OUT,
MAYBE WE CAN
INVITE SOMEONE IN.
GIVE ME A HAND WITH THIS,
ALL RIGHT? LET'S SEE
WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THAT.
[ Grunts ]
OKAY.
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?
EXTEND OUR INVITATION.
WELL, ONE MORE TO GO.
IT'S UNDERNEATH
THIS METAL PLATE.
UH-HUH.
[ Whirring ]
SHARKEY, BELAY THE SEARCH.
WE'VE FOUND OUR HOMING DEVICE.
WHERE'D YOU FIND
THAT THING, SIR?
THAT? DOC SAID IT WAS
A NEUTRALIZING GIMMICK
FOR THE BOMB.
[ Whirring Stops ]
HEY, DOC, YOU COULDN'T BE...
YOU'RE WORKING FOR...
WHY, YOU ROTTEN...
I WAS...
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
ADMIRAL, I JUST
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.
THE BOMB DOES.
NOW, GIVE ME A HAND.
AYE, SIR.
GET THAT UNDER THERE.
YES, SIR.
HELP! HELP!
COME ON!
LET US OUT OF HERE!
HELP!
HERE HE COMES NOW!
[ Kowalski ]
STOP THE STEAM!
COME ON!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!
HOW MUCH TIME, SIR?
LESS THAN EIGHT MINUTES.
- IT'S GOING! IT'S GOING!
WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED!
- TAKE HIM!
LET GO!
WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED!
WE'RE GONNA BE...
[ Clinking ]
ALL RIGHT,
GET THAT CREWMAN IN HERE.
WOW. THERE SHOULD BE
SOMETHING IN HERE
WE COULD USE, SKIPPER.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, LOOK FOR DYNAMITE,
EXPLOSIVES, T.N.T.
ANYTHING YOU CAN FIND THAT
WE CAN DISABLE THIS SUB.
RIGHT.
THERE'S NOTHING HERE, SKIPPER.
EXCEPT SOME GRENADES.
MAYBE THEY'LL WORK FOR US.
KEEP LOOKING.
IF WE CAN FIND AN EXPLOSIVE
COMPOUND OF SOME KIND, WE...
GET OVER THERE.
[ Man ]
YOU. WHAT DO YOU WANT
IN THE ARMORY?
I'M LOOKING
FOR SOME SPECIAL GEAR
FOR THE BOARDING PARTY.
WELL, HURRY! YOU'RE ASSIGNED
TO MY DETAIL, AND WE'RE
GETTING READY TO SHOVE OFF.
BE RIGHT WITH YA.
BANDAR, HELP!
HELP!
BANDAR, BREAK FOR THE DOOR!
I'VE GOT A GRENADE!
KOWALSKI!
HE'S PULLED THE PIN!
FIND IT.
IT'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
SKIPPER,
IF YOU RELEASE YOUR HAND,
THAT THING'LL GO OFF.
LOOK, I'VE GOT
MY HAND ON THE LEVER.
NOW FIND IT.
HERE IT IS, SIR.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW REPLACE IT.
EASY, EASY.
[ Exhales ]
CAPTAIN, WE DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS GRENADE WORKS.
EVEN IF I REPLACE THIS PIN,
THIS THING MAY STILL GO OFF.
IT'S STILL A CHANCE
WE HAVE TO TAKE.
NOW PUT IT IN THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, I'M GONNA THROW
THIS GRENADE IN THE CORRIDOR.
IF IT EXPLODES,
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
WE CAN GET AWAY FROM HERE.
NOW, HIT THE DECK.
I GUESS IT WORKED, SIR.
WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.
THEY'LL BE LOOKING
FOR THESE MEN.
COME ON.
HERE, TAKE THESE MASKS.
AND SOME OF
THESE GAS GRENADES.
IF WE MOVE FAST ENOUGH,
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
WE CAN GIVE MR. VADIM
A LITTLE TROUBLE.
SEAVIEW,
THIS IS THE VULCAN.
ADMIRAL NELSON,
WE ARE PREPARING TO BOARD
THE SEAVIEW.
STAND BY FOR BOARDING PARTY.
GET ME A MIKE,
WILL YOU, CHIEF?
AYE, SIR.
HOLD IT FOR ME.
I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE,
THIS BOMB IS ACTIVATED.
WE ONLY GOT SIX MINUTES LEFT
BEFORE IT EXPLODES.
I STILL DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THEN YOU'RE WELCOME
TO JOIN YOUR MAN BRADLEY...
AND THE REST OF US IN ETERNITY
WHEN IT GOES.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO PROCEED.
ANY SHOW OF RESISTANCE
ON YOUR PART, AND WE SHALL
KILL OUR TWO PRISONERS...
CAPTAIN CRANE
AND SEAMAN KOWALSKI.
[ Sighs ]
YOU ARE A FOOL!
IF YOU WANNA SAVE ALL OF
OUR LIVES, THEN LAY OFF
TILL WE GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.
THAT'S ALL.
DAMAGE CONTROL REPORTS
THE TORPEDO FIRING CIRCUITRY
IS PARTIALLY REPAIRED.
WE CAN LAUNCH
MANUALLY NOW.
ALL RIGHT, GET A...
GET A FIX ON THE VULCAN.
PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE FIRING.
I SAID GET A FIX ON THE VULCAN
AND PREPARE FOR
IMMEDIATE FIRING.
I KNOW LEE AND KOWALSKI
ARE ABOARD!
- WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.
NOW, PREPARE FOR FIRING.
- AYE, SIR.
RON, PHIL, RAY.
SIR, MAYBE WE CAN FIND
SOME WAY TO...
THERE'S NO WAY!
WILL YOU GET BUSY?
YES, SIR.
SHALL WE PROCEED, SIR?
OF COURSE.
HAVE THE BOARDING PARTY
STAND BY IN SCUBA GEAR
WITH UNDERWATER EXPLOSIVES.
WE'LL BLOW THE HATCH
AND MOVE IN.
[ All Coughing ]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, IT'S JUST THE SHOULDER.
LET'S FIND SOME SCUBA GEAR
AND GET OUT OF HERE.
[ Morton ]
TORPEDOES READY TO FIRE, SIR.
FIRING COORDINATES?
YES, SIR. THE VULCAN'S
ONLY 300 YARDS AWAY.
THE CONCUSSION OF
THE HITS IS LIABLE TO...
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT DOES.
WE HAVE ONLY MINUTES LEFT.
FIRE!
AYE, SIR.
FIRE ONE.
FIRE TWO.
SECURE THE BOMB!
[ Crane ]
JUST A LITTLE FURTHER.
HANG ON.
I'VE GOT IT.
HE'S DEAD.
SEND OUT
A RESCUE DIVING PARTY.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
CRANE AND KOWALSKI.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Crane On Speaker ]
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, ADMIRAL.
REQUEST PERMISSION
TO RETURN ABOARD.
OVER.
PERMISSION GRANTED
WITH PLEASURE.
