[ Male Voice On Radio ]
LASER BEAM.
YES, YES?
COME IN. GO AHEAD.
THIS IS ARCTIC
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
COME IN!
[ Male Voice ]
LASER BEAM!
LASER BEAM!
YOU MUST HAVE HEARD THAT.
"LASER BEAM."
- IT'S ASKING US
TO ENERGIZE THE LASER BEAM.
- PROFESSOR--
THAT'S WHAT IT MUST HAVE MEANT
ALL THESE HOURS.
I'M GOING TO DO IT!
NO!
SVEN, THIS IS
THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH.
AN ENTITY
SPEAKING FROM OUTER SPACE.
IF THAT'S TRUE,
WHAT DOES IT WANT?
WHY SHOULD WE ENERGIZE THE BEAM?
SO IT CAN RIDE DOWN ON IT,
COME TO EARTH ON IT.
WE CAN'T REFUSE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS OR
WHAT IT INTENDS TO DO HERE!
IT HAS TO BE FRIENDLY.
WHY ELSE WOULD IT CONTACT US?
DON'T DO IT!
BREAK CONTACT!
YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW!
[ Switch Clicks ]
PLEASE COME IN.
PROFESSOR, LOOK!
THE DOOR!
THE BREAKTHROUGH--
IT'S COMING!
THE HEAT--
THIS IS ARCTIC
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
WE'RE BEING DESTROYED--
ATTACKED BY HEAT!
SEND HELP!
WE NEED HELP!
THE HEAT!
IT'S HERE!
THIS IS XZ-5!
THE HEAT! BURNING HEAT!
HELP! HELP!
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
ANY LUCK CONTACTING
THAT LISTENING STATION?
NO, SIR. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO GET THROUGH TO THEM SINCE
THAT LAST CRY FOR HELP.
NOW, YOU'RE SURE HE SAID
THEY WERE IN TROUBLE
FROM HEAT?
YES, SIR.
I'M POSITIVE.
ALL RIGHT,
KEEP AT IT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
HERE IT IS.
NORWEGIAN SPACE
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
THAT'S ABOUT 150 MILES
FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
AND PRACTICALLY
ALL OF IT IS UNDER
THE ARCTIC ICE CAP.
- WE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOME
OPEN WATER NEAR THE STATION.
- WE'D BETTER.
PREPARE TO DIVE.
AYE, SIR.
PREPARE TO DIVE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
AYE, SIR.
DIVE.
DIVE!
ALL DIVE!
[ Man On Intercom ]
ALL DIVE. AYE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
OPEN WATER 100 FEET ABOVE, SIR.
SURFACE.
SURFACE. SURFACE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
SURFACE. AYE, SIR.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
KEEP IN CONTACT. ANY TROUBLE,
LET US KNOW AT ONCE.
WE'LL HAVE A BACKUP CREW READY.
AYE, SIR.
LET'S GO, CHIEF.
AYE, AYE.
THEY'RE APPROACHING
THE LISTENING STATION NOW.
WELL, WE SHOULD KNOW
IN A FEW MINUTES
WHAT HAPPENED.
[ Exhales ]
HE'S DEAD.
WELL--
IF THERE WAS HEAT IN HERE,
IT'S GONE NOW.
[ Groaning ]
BETTER GET HIM BACK
TO SEAVIEW QUICK, SIR.
YEAH.
SEAVIEW,
THIS IS THE SKIPPER.
SEND OUT THE SNOW CAT.
THERE'S A MAN ALIVE IN HERE.
ON ITS WAY, SIR.
SKIPPER, LOOK.
I'VE SEEN SOME
BLOCKS OF ICE BEFORE,
BUT, UH,
WHAT'S IN THERE?
IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER,
I'D SAY IT WAS FIRE.
FOR HOURS,
MAYBE EVEN FOR DAYS,
I THOUGHT--
NO, I WAS CONVINCED
THAT WE WERE ON THE EDGE
OF MAKING CONTACT--
THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH IN SPACE
RESEARCH THAT I HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON FOR OVER 10 YEARS.
LISTENING FOR SOME SORT OF
COMMUNICATION FROM LIVING BEINGS
IN OUTER SPACE, RIGHT?
JO. AT LAST I WAS SURE
WE WERE IN TOUCH WITH ALIENS
WHEN I HEARD THE WORDS.
THEY CAME
LIKE THE SOUND OF THE WIND.
BUT SOMETIMES
THEY WERE ALMOST CLEAR.
WORDS.
WHAT KIND OF WORDS?
THEY WERE NEVER QUITE CLEAR--
RISING, FALLING.
NOTHING
THAT REALLY MADE SENSE?
NOTHING.
UNTIL TODAY.
THEN I HEARD IT.
I KNOW I HEARD IT.
TWO WORDS-- LASER BEAM.
IT WANTED ME TO
ENERGIZE THE LASER BEAM.
DID YOUR ASSISTANT
HEAR THIS TOO?
NO. SVEN ONLY HEARD
WHAT HE WANTED TO HEAR.
HE WAS A FRIGHTENED MAN.
APPARENTLY
FOR A VERY GOOD REASON.
HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?
THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS
WITHOUT SACRIFICE.
I CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND
HOW I SURVIVED.
UNLESS...
IT WANTED ME
TO SURVIVE.
IT?
THAT MUST BE THE ANSWER.
ALL THOSE HOURS
OF MAKING CONTACT,
AND THEN THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH!
IT WANTS ME ALIVE.
IT NEEDS MY HELP.
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS,
DR. BERGSTROM?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT IT IS AN ENTITY,
AN INTELLIGENCE
FROM SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.
IT IS IN TOUCH
WITH US THROUGH ME.
WE MUST MAKE THE BEST OF IT.
IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH
YOU'RE CONVINCED
IT'S A FRIENDLY INTELLIGENCE.
- I AM.
- YET IT KILLED YOUR ASSISTANT
AND DESTROYED YOUR LABORATORY.
ADMIRAL,
WHEN MAN GOES TO THE STARS,
AS HE EVENTUALLY WILL,
HE WILL NOT GO AS AN ENEMY--
HE WILL GO TO LEARN.
AND HE MAY ACCIDENTALLY
MAKE MISTAKES.
HE MAY INADVERTENTLY ANTAGONIZE
OR HURT THE ALIEN CREATURES
HE ENCOUNTERS.
THAT'S WHAT
YOU THINK HAPPENED
AT YOUR LISTENING POST?
I DO. THAT'S WHY WE MUST
GO BACK TO THE LISTENING POST
TO REESTABLISH CONTACT WITH IT.
IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THIS
PHENOMENON YOU DISCOVERED IS
HERE ABOARD SEAVIEW RIGHT NOW.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
THERE WAS NO HEAT
WHEN WE RESCUED YOU,
DOCTOR.
ONLY BELOW-ZERO
TEMPERATURES.
AND ALL WE FOUND THERE
WAS AN ODDLY-SHAPED
BLOCK OF ICE.
ICE? WHAT HAS THAT
TO DO WITH IT?
THIS ALIEN ENTITY
WAS TREMENDOUSLY HOT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING
INSIDE THAT ICE,
LIKE A--
A PULSATING GLOW
THAT LOOKED LIKE FIRE.
THEN IT MUST BE IT.
WHERE IS THIS ICE?
I MUST SEE IT.
[ Man On Intercom ]
FIRE DETAIL, REPORT TO
SECTION D-7 ON THE DOUBLE.
REPEAT. FIRE DETAIL
TO SECTION D-7.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
EMERGENCY INDICATORS SHOW
A SHARP TEMPERATURE RISE IN D-7.
D-7?
THAT'S WHERE WE STORED
THE ICE BLOCK.
DOCTOR.
F-FEEL THAT HEAT.
THE ENTITY IS IN THERE.
IT'S COME TO LIFE.
WE MUST TALK WITH IT,
ADMIRAL.
IT STAYS BEHIND STEEL DOORS
TILL WE KNOW WHAT IT IS
AND HOW WE CAN CONTROL IT.
BUT IT CAME TO ME.
SURELY I AM THE ONE TO SAY
WHAT TO DO NEXT.
CHIEF, MOVE IN THERE
WITH CO2.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
THE HEAT IS GETTING WORSE.
[ Bergstrom ]
WHO ARE YOU?
ANSWER US!
I AM PROFESSOR BERGSTROM!
I'VE TALKED TO YOU!
WHO ARE YOU?
IT'S GETTING HOTTER.
CHECK THE AIR CONDITIONING.
CONTROL ROOM, GIVE US
A TEMPERATURE READING
ON SECTION D-7.
115 DEGREES AND RISING.
IS THE AIR CONDITIONING
WORKING?
IT'S FUNCTIONING NORMALLY,
BUT IT CAN'T CONTROL THAT RISE.
ALL RIGHT, CRANK IT UP.
AYE, SIR.
WHAT WAS IN
THAT CAKE OF ICE?
I TOLD YOU-- A HEAT BEING
FROM DEEP SPACE.
WELL, WHATEVER IT WAS,
IT'S CERTAINLY ABOARD.
THE HEAT IS STILL RISING.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND IT
AND DESTROY IT.
NO! WE CAN'T!
YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE FOR GRANTED
THAT AN ALIEN BEING IS HOSTILE.
PERHAPS NOT.
BUT I AM CERTAIN
IT'S DANGEROUS TO HUMAN LIFE.
[ Whooshing ]
YOU! WHATEVER YOU ARE,
WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS.
I AM BERGSTROM.
- CHIEF, PUT IT OUT,
ON THE DOUBLE.
- AYE, AYE, SIR.
WHAT HAPPENED?
IT'S GONE.
YOU'VE DESTROYED IT.
WELL, I, UH,
I SINCERELY HOPE SO.
BUT IT'S MURDER.
YOU HAVE DELIBERATELY KILLED
A CREATURE FROM ANOTHER WORLD.
IT'S ABOUT TIME.
I WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL
LIKE A BOILED LOBSTER.
CHIEF,
SECURE THE DETAIL.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CONTROL ROOM, WHAT'S
THE TEMPERATURE READING
IN SECTION D-7 NOW?
THE HEAT'S DROPPING NOW
DOWN TO 108.
BUT WE'RE GETTING A RISE
IN TEMPERATURE AMIDSHIPS.
IT'S UP TO 120
AND STILL GOING UP.
APPARENTLY NOBODY'S
BEEN MURDERED, BERGSTROM.
THE HEAT'S STILL WITH US.
PINPOINT THE LOCATION
AND NOTIFY, ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, SIR.
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME.
WHEN YOU LOCATE IT AGAIN,
LET ME MAKE CONTACT WITH IT.
I'M SURE I CAN HELP.
- CAPTAIN CRANE,
THIS IS SPARKS.
- GO AHEAD, SPARKS.
I'M PICKING UP
A STRANGE SOUND, SIR, LIKE
A VOICE LOST IN THE WIND.
THAT'S IT.
[ Sparks ] I CAN'T MAKE IT OUT
CLEARLY, BUT I THINK I CAUGHT
THE NAME OF "BERGSTROM."
I TOLD YOU THAT WAS IT!
IT CAME TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ME!
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CHIP?
HEAT AMIDSHIPS
HOLDING AT 123 DEGREES.
STILL THERE, SPARKS?
NO, I'M SORRY, SIR.
I'M AFRAID I'VE LOST IT.
YOU CAN'T LOSE IT.
GET IT BACK.
IT'S COMING THROUGH
AGAIN, SIR.
[ Male Voice ]
I SPEAK TO PROFESSOR BERGSTROM.
I WAS RIGHT.
I AM THE CONTACT.
[ Male Voice ]
COMMANDER OF STATION XZ-5,
IT IS NECESSARY
THAT WE MEET TO TALK.
NO HARM WILL COME
TO PROFESSOR BERGSTROM.
I WAIT. THE TEMPERATURE
WILL NOT RISE ANY MORE
ON YOUR SHIP.
NOT IF WE MEET.
CHIP, WHERE IS
THE HEAT CENTER NOW?
THE ENGINE ROOM AREA.
IT ASKED FOR ME. I WILL GO.
IT COULD BE THAT NOW WE
MAKE CONTACT FACE-TO-FACE.
WITH WHAT?
SMOKE? FLAME?
- I MUST GO TO IT!
- NOT ALONE.
[ Male Voice ]
I WAIT FOR
PROFESSOR BERGSTROM.
I WAIT!
TALK TO HIM.
THIS IS BERGSTROM.
I'M COMING.
[ Panting ] IT'S AWFULLY
HOT IN HERE, SKI.
SURE IS.
THE CHIEF SAID TO CHECK OUT
THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS.
GIVE ME THAT METER BOX.
WHEW.
GIVE ME A CHECK
ON THE PRIMARY CIRCUITS.
[ Switches Flipping ]
IT SHOULDN'T BE
THIS WARM IN HERE.
YEAH. MAYBE THAT HEAT THING
IS CLOSE BY.
YEAH, IT COULD BE.
IT'S NOT HERE NOW.
MAYBE WE OUGHTA GET OUTTA HERE.
RELAX, WILL YA?
RELAX.
WE'VE GOT A JOB TO DO,
SO--
SO LET'S DO IT.
WHAT'S YOUR READING?
I SAID,
WHAT'S YOUR READING?
OH.
TROUBLE.
THE NEEDLE'S
IN THE DANGER ZONE.
IT'S MOVING UP
HIGHER.
YEAH. AND IT'S GETTING
HOTTER IN HERE TOO.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'D BETTER PULL ALL
THE PRIMARY CIRCUITS FIRST.
RIGHT.
[ Both Coughing ]
[ Coughing Continues ]
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
LET'S--
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.
[ Coughing Continues ]
GET DOWN.
I'M BURNING UP.
I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE
OF THIS HEAT.
EASY, PAT, EASY.
WE'LL GET OUT
OF THIS SOMEHOW.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
IT'S GOT US BLOCKED.
[ Coughs ]
I'LL GET SOME HELP.
AAH! AAH!
[ Coughs ]
HURRY UP, SKI!
HOLD ON!
I'M COMING!
WE GOT A CHANCE
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
THIS INSULATION'LL
PROTECT US.
THAT THING'LL
BURN US TO A CRISP.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
IF WE STAY HERE,
WE'RE DEAD.
WE'RE DEAD IF WE GO.
SNAP OUT OF IT!
NOW GET BEHIND ME
AND HOLD ON.
[ Coughing Continues ]
WE CAN'T MAKE IT.
WE'LL FRY!
NOW LISTEN, BUDDY,
AND LISTEN GOOD,
OR YOU'RE DEAD!
WHEN I SAY WE GO,
WE GO, AND FAST!
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
OKAY. OKAY.
NOW TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
[ Inhales ]
ALL RIGHT, NOW, LET'S GO.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
[ Coughing Continues ]
THE ENGINE ROOM, SIR.
IT'S THE ENGINE--
ENGINE ROOM--
BURNS
AND HEAT PROSTRATION.
SICK BAY,
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
THERE ARE TWO MEN HURT
AT THE INTERSECTION
OF CORRIDORS 17 AND 18.
GET SOME STRETCHERS
DOWN HERE FAST.
LET'S GET
THE ENGINE ROOM!
WHAT KIND OF A CREATURE
COULD HAVE MADE
PRINTS LIKE THIS?
ARE YOU CONVINCED NOW,
CAPTAIN?
ALL RIGHT,
I KNOW WE'RE FACED
WITH SOMETHING...
THAT COULD
DESTROY THE SEAVIEW
AND ALL OF US.
IT'S ALREADY CUT DOWN
KOWALSKI AND MALLOY.
SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
JUST WHAT IT ASKS.
WE'LL TALK TO IT.
WE CAN'T GO IN THERE
WITHOUT SOMETHING
TO FIGHT IT WITH,
SOME PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
AND CO2.
IT HAS NOTHING TO GAIN
FROM ATTACKING
THE THREE OF US.
LET'S HEAR
WHAT IT HAS TO SAY.
YES, ADMIRAL.
I ASKED FOR
PROFESSOR BERGSTROM
OF STATION XZ-5.
- I'M HERE.
- WITH OTHERS.
THEY ARE
YOUR FRIENDS TOO.
- WE'RE ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
- PROVE IT.
DO AS I ASK.
- WHAT DO YOU ASK?
- IT IS SIMPLE.
BUT WHO SPEAKS?
I'M ADMIRAL NELSON,
AND THIS IS THE CAPTAIN OF
THE SEAVIEW, COMMANDER CRANE.
WE HAVE HEARD YOUR WORDS
ACROSS SPACE.
WHO'S WE?
I AM NOT HERE
TO WASTE WORDS
ON EXPLANATION,
BUT SINCE YOU ARE HERE
WE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF YOUR PRESENCE.
YOU HAVE VAST POWER
ABOARD THIS SHIP.
USE IT.
W-WHAT POWER?
YOU WILL EMPLOY
THE NUCLEAR REACTOR...
TO BLAST A THERMAL HEAT RAY
UNDER THE ICE PACK,
DIRECTLY
BENEATH THE HUT...
WHICH WAS ARCTIC
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
THE RAY WILL CARRY
A HEAT BLAST...
OF 3,000 DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
THREE THOUSAND DEGREES?
IT'D TAKE AT LEAST TWO HOURS
TO BUILD UP THAT AMOUNT OF HEAT.
IN THAT CASE,
I GIVE YOU TWO HOURS.
NO MORE.
THEN YOU WILL DIRECT THE BLAST
BENEATH THE HUT.
THAT IS AN ORDER.
OH.
WELL,
WE DON'T TAKE ORDERS.
AND WHY DO YOU ASK US
TO SEND THAT BLAST?
WE DO NOT GIVE REASONS.
SUFFICE
THAT THEY ARE GOOD.
SEND THE BLAST
IN TWO HOURS.
MEANWHILE, THE HEAT
WILL RISE ABOARD YOUR SHIP,
SLOWLY BUT INEVITABLY.
IT WILL NOT DROP
UNTIL YOU FIRE THE BLAST.
IF THE BLAST IS NOT FIRED,
YOUR SHIP AND ALL ABOARD
WILL DIE.
YOU, WHATEVER YOU ARE,
I AM BERGSTROM.
YOU HAVE NOT TALKED TO ME.
I HAVE TALKED
WITH THE ADMIRAL.
IT IS SUFFICIENT.
TWO HOURS.
I REPEAT,
WE DON'T TAKE ORDERS...
WITHOUT REASON.
IS THAT REASON ENOUGH,
ADMIRAL?
TWO HOURS,
OR YOU ALL DIE!
- ENGINE ROOM TEMPERATURE.
- 124 DEGREES.
- AT LEAST THAT THING'S
KEEPING THE TEMPERATURE DOWN.
- NOT IN THE REST OF THE SHIP.
IT'S 117 DEGREES
HERE IN THE CONTROL ROOM,
136 IN SECTION F-2,
138 IN F-3.
THERE ARE MEN IN F-3.
GET THEM OUT OF THERE, AND TURN
THE AIR CONDITIONING UP FULL.
SECTION F-3,
THIS IS THE EXEC.
EVACUATE YOUR MEN
INTO G-9.
AIR CONDITIONING SECTION,
GO TO FULL EMERGENCY.
ADMIRAL, THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE
ON YOUR SUBMARINE
IS 132 DEGREES.
AT THE PRESENT RATE OF RISE,
IN TWO HOURS EVERY MAN ON BOARD
WILL BE DEAD.
IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT WE
GIVE IN AND SEND A HEAT BLAST
UNDER THE ICE, THE ANSWER IS NO!
- LEE, ANY HELP
FROM THE COMPUTER?
- NONE.
ALL THE KNOWN DATAS
HAVE BEEN FED INTO IT,
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
- CAN'T EVEN GIVE US A HINT
ABOUT THAT THING.
- BUT YOU CAN'T FIGHT IT.
EITHER YOU SEND THAT
THERMAL BLAST UNDER THE ICE,
OR WE ALL DIE.
ANY CONTACT WITH WASHINGTON?
I CAN'T MAKE CONTACT
WITH ANYONE, SIR.
WHAT ABOUT
THE EMERGENCY CIRCUITS?
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
THAT HEAT MUST HAVE DAMAGED
THE TRANSMITTER BOXES.
MMM. HOW LONG
TO MAKE REPAIRS?
WELL, POSSIBLY
THREE HOURS.
BUT THEY'RE DOWN
IN SECTION F-3.
ADMIRAL.
WOULD YOU COME HERE,
PLEASE.
THE HEAT'S MOVING
INTO THE REACTOR ROOM.
IT'S 142 DEGREES IN THERE
AND RISING.
WE MAY HAVE TO ABANDON SHIP.
OH, NO, NO, NO.
THAT'S NO GOOD, LEE.
WE'RE NOT EQUIPPED
TO SURVIVE IN THE ICE PACKS.
UNLESS HELP CAME FAST,
WE'D BE FROZEN
INSTEAD OF ROASTED.
AND HOW ARE YOU
GONNA GET HELP?
THE RADIO'S BEYOND REPAIR.
ADMIRAL,
WHY FIGHT...
WHEN YOU COULD
COLLABORATE?
YOU MEAN, SEND THAT BLAST
UNDER THE ICE, HUH?
WHAT CAN YOU LOSE?
THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE.
WHO CAN IT HURT?
I STILL SAY THAT WHATEVER
IS ON BOARD THIS SHIP
IS NOT BELLIGERENT...
AND CAME TO ME
OF ITS OWN FREE WILL.
APPARENTLY WITH A DESIRE
TO BURN US ALL TO A CRISP.
- I DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
- WELL, I DO.
GIVE IT A CHANCE. WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THINGS
MAN HAS NEVER KNOWN BEFORE.
THE TRUE MEANING
OF THE STARS.
CONTACT WITH INTELLIGENCE
FROM DEEPEST SPACE. WHO KNOWS
WHAT ELSE WE MAY LEARN.
I'D LIKE TO LEARN WHY IT WANTS
A NUCLEAR BLAST UNDER THE ICE.
- BLAST THE ICE,
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR ANSWER.
- YEAH, ONE ANSWER.
THERE MUST BE A REASON
WHY IT NEEDS HEAT,
AND WHY IT'S PUTTING
PRESSURE ON US
INSTEAD OF DESTROYING US.
NO, YOU ARE WRONG.
I KNOW THAT THIS THING
IS INVINCIBLE.
INVINCIBLE?
I WONDER.
IT WAS TRAPPED IN THE ICE,
PERHAPS DYING OF COLD.
IF WE HADN'T BROUGHT IT ABOARD--
MAYBE THAT'S THE ANSWER--
COLD.
IF WE FLOOD THE ENGINE ROOM
WITH ARCTIC WATER--
I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL IT!
I HAVE GIVEN
10 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
HEAT'S RISING AGAIN.
IT'S 123 DEGREES IN HERE.
UP TO 149 DEGREES
IN THE REACTOR ROOM.
FLOOD THE ENGINE ROOM.
NOW!
RIGHT AWAY!
149 DEGREES
IN THE ENGINE ROOM.
WHAT WOULD YOU GUESS
IT WOULD BE IN ABOUT
AN HOUR AND A HALF?
HOT ENOUGH TO MELT SOME CONTROLS
AND SET OFF A CHAIN REACTION.
MM-HMM. EXACTLY.
ADMIRAL,
THIS IS CRANE.
THE FLOODING CONTROLS
AND CIRCUITRY ARE
WELDED TIGHT BY THE HEAT.
I'LL GO INTO THE ENGINE ROOM
WITH CO2 EQUIPMENT
AND ACTIVATE FROM THERE.
[ Nelson ]
RIGHT, LEE.
GO TO IT.
GET TWO MORE OF THESE READY.
I'LL GET THE SPECIAL RIG.
[ Thud ]
THEY'RE TRYING
TO KILL YOU.
HOW WOULD THEY KILL ME?
THEY WANT TO FLOOD THIS ROOM
WITH THE ICY SEA WATERS.
ICY SEA WATERS?
BUT YOU CAME TO ME-- TO ME--
SO I STOPPED THEM.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?
OH, YOU CAN
TEACH ME SO MUCH.
THE SECRETS
OF THE UNIVERSE.
I WANT TO LEARN.
BUT WE CAN ALL LEARN.
THEY TOO, IF YOU WILL
JUST MEET US HALFWAY.
TELL ME ONE THING
SO THEY WILL HELP,
NOT HINDER.
WHY DO YOU ASK
FOR THE BLAST
UNDER THE ICE?
WE DO NOT
ANSWER QUESTIONS.
OH, BUT YOU WANT THEM
TO DO WHAT YOU SAY.
THEY WILL DO WHAT I SAY.
SO WILL YOU.
I WANT TO.
YOU WILL.
YOU WILL WORK WITH US
BECAUSE YOU WISH TO LEARN.
AND WILL WE TEACH.
BUT FIRST, TELL THEM
TO SEND THAT BLAST
UNDER THE ICE.
THEY HAVE HARDLY
AN HOUR LEFT.
I CAN'T FORCE THEM.
YOU WILL FIND A WAY.
IF YOU FAIL,
EVERYBODY ON THIS SHIP DIES.
LISTEN, THERE ARE
OVER 100 MEN ABOARD.
WE ARE NO LONGER
INTERESTED IN DISCUSSION.
DO AS YOU ARE BID!
GO!
IT'S 128 HERE
IN THE CONTROL ROOM,
147 IN THE ENGINE ROOM,
AND 163 IN THE REACTOR ROOM.
UH-HUH.
[ On Intercom ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS CRANE.
YES, LEE?
FIND BERGSTROM
AND THROW HIM IN THE BRIG.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE ATTACKED ME
AND KNOCKED ME OUT.
DID YOU FLOOD THE ENGINE ROOM?
NO. HE GOT ME ON THE WAY.
I'M HEADING THERE NOW.
I'LL JOIN YOU.
THERE IS NO HURRY,
ADMIRAL.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
PUT THAT GUN DOWN.
ORDER THE BLAST.
HEAT THE REACTOR
AND ORDER THE BLAST.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gasps ]
YOU ARE WRONG!
YOU CAN'T FIGHT SOMETHING
BIGGER THAN YOU ARE!
ORDER THE BLAST!
- TAKE HIM TO THE RESTRAINT WARD
AND LOCK HIM UP.
- YOU ARE WRONG!
YOU WILL DIE.
WE WILL ALL DIE!
I KNOW!
I KNOW! NOW, FIRE--
FIRE THE BLAST!
[ Groans ]
I KNOW WE WILL DIE!
FIRE IT!
TAKE THE CONN. I'LL BE
IN THE ENGINE ROOM.
AYE.
YOU PLAY THE STREAM ON IT.
I'LL TRY TO GET TO
THE FLOODING CONTROLS.
ALL SET.
LET'S GO.
FOOLS! DID YOU THINK
YOU COULD DESTROY ME?
YOUR TIME
IS RUNNING OUT!
DO AS I SAY,
OR YOU YOURSELVES...
SHALL ALL BE DESTROYED--
DESTROYED-- DESTROYED--
GENERAL HEAT LEVEL'S
146.
HEAT AMIDSHIPS
AND THE ENGINE ROOM'S 163.
THE REACTOR ROOM--
184.
IF THIS KEEPS UP,
WE'LL EITHER HAVE TO
FIRE THAT BLAST
OR ABANDON SEAVIEW.
WHAT IF THERE ARE MORE OF THEM
OUT THERE FROZEN IN THE ICE,
AS THIS ONE WAS,
NEEDING THE HEAT
FROM A NUCLEAR BLAST
TO BRING THEM TO LIFE?
IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
WHAT CAN WE DO?
GO BACK TO THE HUT.
TAKE THE SNOW CAT
AND AN M-74 TIME BOMB AND SET IT
TO BLAST THE ENTIRE AREA.
WELL, WITH AN M-74
WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE TOO.
YEAH, WELL,
WHEN YOU GET BACK,
WE'LL ABANDON SHIP,
FLOOD THE SEAVIEW AS WE LEAVE.
N-NOW, MOVE FAST!
ANOTHER HALF HOUR,
AND WE'RE ALL FINISHED.
[ Humming ]
YOU ARE HERE.
YOU ARE HERE.
I'VE DONE WHAT I CAN.
I WANT TO HELP,
BUT NOBODY LISTENS.
TWO MEN HAVE LEFT THIS CRAFT.
THEY GO TO THE HUT.
IN THE INTERESTS
OF INTERPLANETARY ACCORD,
YOU MUST FOLLOW
AND DESTROY THEM.
BUT I CAN'T LEAVE THE SHIP
WITHOUT BEING SEEN.
I CAN'T EVEN GET OUT OF HERE.
WE CAN TEACH,
AND YOU CAN LEARN.
INVISIBILITY-- IT IS AN ELEMENT
WHICH YOU WILL EXPERIENCE.
- HOW DO YOU MEAN?
- LOOK AT YOURSELF.
GET OUT!
GET OUT NOW!
[ Bergstrom ]
YES. YES, I'LL GO.
READY TO GO, SIR.
THE BOMB IS SECURE
ON THE SNOW CAT.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU
TO HURRY.
NONE OF US CAN STAND
MUCH MORE HEAT.
WE'LL GET IT DONE
AND GET BACK
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
[ Hatch Slams ]
ALL RIGHT,
BACK TO YOUR POSTS.
[ Footsteps ]
[ Hatch Opens ]
HUH.
THE ADMIRAL SAID
THERE MIGHT BE
MORE OF 'EM OUT HERE.
IF THEY'VE COME IN
ON A LASER BEAM,
THEN THE HEAT OF
THE NUCLEAR BLAST UNDER THE ICE
COULD BRING THEM TO LIFE.
SO WE'LL BLOW 'EM BACK
TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
CHIEF, COME ON.
AYE, SIR.
WE'LL NEED ABOUT
A HALF AN HOUR
TO GET SEAVIEW OUT OF HERE.
WE'LL GET IT TO BLOW
AT, UH, 2:45.
IT'S 2:15 NOW.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Hinges Creaking ]
JUST THE WIND.
OKAY, COME ON.
LET'S GO.
[ Bergstrom ] NO!
WHO'S THERE?
DR. BERGSTROM.
WHERE ARE YOU?
OVER HERE.
WHERE?
[ Crane ]
BERGSTROM!
WHERE ARE YOU?
[ Groans ]
[ Sharkey ]
HE'S OVER THERE SOMEWHERE.
[ Sharkey Grunting ]
I GOT HIM!
[ Groans ]
[ Sharkey ]
HE GOT AWAY!
[ Gunshot ]
I HIT HIM.
[ Hinges Creak ]
THAT'S NOT THE WIND.
HE'S GONE.
[ Beeping ]
LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.
AYE, SIR.
[ Exhales ]
IT'S DESERTED.
THIS HEAT.
YOU CAN TOUCH IT.
[ Crane ]
YOU CAN SEE IT.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT
OF HERE, SIR.
THAT THING'LL
FRY US.
ADMIRAL.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
DO YOU HEAR ME,
ADMIRAL?
THIS IS CRANE.
- WHERE ARE YOU, LEE?
- IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
GET OUT OF THERE. THE THING
WENT FORWARD. IT COULD BE
STANDING RIGHT ALONGSIDE OF YOU.
WE CAN SEE IT.
WE'RE IN THE MISSILE ROOM.
GET DOWN HERE FAST.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
COME ON!
I DON'T HAVE TO
BRIEF YOU ABOUT THIS.
ALL HATCHES, ALL ESCAPE ROUTES
ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF HEAT.
YOU HAVE TO CUT THROUGH
THE UPPER ESCAPE HATCH...
BEFORE WE ALL
DIE OF HEAT.
THE ONLY CUTTING GEAR
WE HAVE DOWN HERE
IS THIS TORCH, SIR.
WELL,
THAT'LL HAVE TO DO.
ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD.
AND KEEP IN TOUCH.
ACTIVATE, PHIL.
[ Pressurized Water
Rushing ]
AT LEAST WE CAN
FLOOD THAT.
LET'S JUST HOPE
THEY CAN CUT
THROUGH THE HATCH.
[ Nelson ]
SECURE THE HATCH.
WE'VE GOT TO
ABANDON SHIP.
I HAVE DIVERS IN THE HATCH
TRYING TO BURN
THEIR WAY OUT.
[ Crane ]
A HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE.
WITH THAT KIND OF HEAT,
HOW LONG CAN WE LAST?
[ On Intercom ]
SIR, THIS IS ANDERSON
IN THE ESCAPE HATCH.
THERE'S NOT A PRAYER
OF CUTTING THROUGH UP HERE.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE,
ANDERSON?
THE ESCAPE HATCH IS WELDED
TO THE ENTIRE DECK SECTION, SIR.
WE HAVE TO CUT THROUGH
FIVE FEET OF SOLID STEEL
TO GET OUT.
ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK IN.
PHIL.
AYE, SIR.
HOW-- HOW LONG
BEFORE THE BOMB BLOWS?
EIGHT MINUTES.
WELL, I'D SAY
IT'S A TOSS-UP.
WHICH GETS US FIRST,
THE HEAT OR THE BOMB?
[ Footsteps ]
WE'RE ALL FINISHED,
YOU KNOW.
FINISHED?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THEY'VE SET A TIME BOMB.
IT WILL BLOW
AT QUARTER TO 3:00.
EVERYBODY DIES,
INCLUDING...
THOSE OTHERS LIKE YOU
OUT THERE.
SO YOU FAILED
TO STOP THEM.
I TRIED.
THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
YOU HAVE LOST YOUR USEFULNESS.
WE DO NOT NEED YOU.
SO I MUST DIE.
BURN LIKE THE OTHERS.
IS THAT IT?
WELL?
YOU CAN DIE TOO.
THERE MUST BE A WAY.
WHAT IS IT?
I SPEAK TO THE COMMANDERS--
THE ADMIRAL, THE CAPTAIN.
SEND OUT MEN NOW!
DEACTIVATE THAT BOMB!
DEACTIVATE THAT BOMB!
AND IF WE DON'T?
IF YOU DON'T, THIS CRAFT WILL
BOIL AND BURST WITHIN MINUTES.
WELL, WE'VE GOT SIX MINUTES
BEFORE THE BOMB GOES.
IT'S BOILING IN HERE.
[ Grunting ]
I SPEAK AGAIN
TO THE COMMANDERS OF THIS SHIP.
YOU HAVE MY ORDERS.
THE HEAT
WILL CONTINUE TO RISE.
SEND OUT MEN NOW
TO STOP THAT BOMB.
[ Chuckles ]
ARE YOU DOING
AS I BID YOU?
SEND OUT MEN!
[ Gasps ]
ADMIRAL.
THIS IS BERGSTROM.
BERGSTROM?
LISTEN--
LISTEN--
YES, BERGSTROM?
THE THING CAN DIE.
COLD WILL KILL IT.
IS THERE
FREEZING EQUIPMENT
ON BOARD?
LIQUID OXYGEN.
ADMIRAL.
LISTEN TO ME.
I--
[ Screaming ]
EVEN WITH THESE,
WE'D BURN TO DEATH BEFORE
WE'D GET TO THE CONTROL ROOM.
WELL, GET
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
NO ANSWER.
YOU WILL NOT ANSWER.
THEN THE ANSWER IS WITH ME.
YOU WILL BOIL.
DIE!
DIE!
COLD!
COLD.
SO COLD.
WE'VE GOT IT.
IT'S OVER.
THE HEAT'S FALLING.
IT'S NOT OVER.
THE BOMB.
GET US OUT OF HERE, LEE,
IF WE'RE STILL MANEUVERABLE.
AND IF WE STILL HAVE A CREW.
PREPARE TO DIVE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
PREPARE TO DIVE. AYE.
DIVE! DIVE!
[ Man On Intercom ]
DIVE! DIVE!
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
[ Switch Flips ]
WELL, I THINK
WE MADE IT.
[ Exhales ]
LET'S USE
THE AUTOMATIC PILOT.
HE'S DEAD.
WELL, BETTER GET THINGS
BACK TO NORMAL.
NOW HEAR THIS.
ALL HANDS REPORT
TO DUTY STATIONS.
ALL HANDS
TO DUTY STATIONS.
[ Exhales ]
YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
ADMIRAL?
IT'S COLD IN HERE.
[ Laughs ]
LET'S BE THANKFUL FOR
ALL SMALL FAVORS, LEE.
[ Male Voice On Radio ]
LASER BEAM.
YES, YES?
COME IN. GO AHEAD.
THIS IS ARCTIC
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
COME IN!
[ Male Voice ]
LASER BEAM!
LASER BEAM!
YOU MUST HAVE HEARD THAT.
"LASER BEAM."
- IT'S ASKING US
TO ENERGIZE THE LASER BEAM.
- PROFESSOR--
THAT'S WHAT IT MUST HAVE MEANT
ALL THESE HOURS.
I'M GOING TO DO IT!
NO!
SVEN, THIS IS
THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH.
AN ENTITY
SPEAKING FROM OUTER SPACE.
IF THAT'S TRUE,
WHAT DOES IT WANT?
WHY SHOULD WE ENERGIZE THE BEAM?
SO IT CAN RIDE DOWN ON IT,
COME TO EARTH ON IT.
WE CAN'T REFUSE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS OR
WHAT IT INTENDS TO DO HERE!
IT HAS TO BE FRIENDLY.
WHY ELSE WOULD IT CONTACT US?
DON'T DO IT!
BREAK CONTACT!
YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW!
[ Switch Clicks ]
PLEASE COME IN.
PROFESSOR, LOOK!
THE DOOR!
THE BREAKTHROUGH--
IT'S COMING!
THE HEAT--
THIS IS ARCTIC
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
WE'RE BEING DESTROYED--
ATTACKED BY HEAT!
SEND HELP!
WE NEED HELP!
THE HEAT!
IT'S HERE!
THIS IS XZ-5!
THE HEAT! BURNING HEAT!
HELP! HELP!
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
ANY LUCK CONTACTING
THAT LISTENING STATION?
NO, SIR. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO GET THROUGH TO THEM SINCE
THAT LAST CRY FOR HELP.
NOW, YOU'RE SURE HE SAID
THEY WERE IN TROUBLE
FROM HEAT?
YES, SIR.
I'M POSITIVE.
ALL RIGHT,
KEEP AT IT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
HERE IT IS.
NORWEGIAN SPACE
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
THAT'S ABOUT 150 MILES
FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
AND PRACTICALLY
ALL OF IT IS UNDER
THE ARCTIC ICE CAP.
- WE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOME
OPEN WATER NEAR THE STATION.
- WE'D BETTER.
PREPARE TO DIVE.
AYE, SIR.
PREPARE TO DIVE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
AYE, SIR.
DIVE.
DIVE!
ALL DIVE!
[ Man On Intercom ]
ALL DIVE. AYE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
OPEN WATER 100 FEET ABOVE, SIR.
SURFACE.
SURFACE. SURFACE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
SURFACE. AYE, SIR.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
KEEP IN CONTACT. ANY TROUBLE,
LET US KNOW AT ONCE.
WE'LL HAVE A BACKUP CREW READY.
AYE, SIR.
LET'S GO, CHIEF.
AYE, AYE.
THEY'RE APPROACHING
THE LISTENING STATION NOW.
WELL, WE SHOULD KNOW
IN A FEW MINUTES
WHAT HAPPENED.
[ Exhales ]
HE'S DEAD.
WELL--
IF THERE WAS HEAT IN HERE,
IT'S GONE NOW.
[ Groaning ]
BETTER GET HIM BACK
TO SEAVIEW QUICK, SIR.
YEAH.
SEAVIEW,
THIS IS THE SKIPPER.
SEND OUT THE SNOW CAT.
THERE'S A MAN ALIVE IN HERE.
ON ITS WAY, SIR.
SKIPPER, LOOK.
I'VE SEEN SOME
BLOCKS OF ICE BEFORE,
BUT, UH,
WHAT'S IN THERE?
IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER,
I'D SAY IT WAS FIRE.
FOR HOURS,
MAYBE EVEN FOR DAYS,
I THOUGHT--
NO, I WAS CONVINCED
THAT WE WERE ON THE EDGE
OF MAKING CONTACT--
THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH IN SPACE
RESEARCH THAT I HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON FOR OVER 10 YEARS.
LISTENING FOR SOME SORT OF
COMMUNICATION FROM LIVING BEINGS
IN OUTER SPACE, RIGHT?
JO. AT LAST I WAS SURE
WE WERE IN TOUCH WITH ALIENS
WHEN I HEARD THE WORDS.
THEY CAME
LIKE THE SOUND OF THE WIND.
BUT SOMETIMES
THEY WERE ALMOST CLEAR.
WORDS.
WHAT KIND OF WORDS?
THEY WERE NEVER QUITE CLEAR--
RISING, FALLING.
NOTHING
THAT REALLY MADE SENSE?
NOTHING.
UNTIL TODAY.
THEN I HEARD IT.
I KNOW I HEARD IT.
TWO WORDS-- LASER BEAM.
IT WANTED ME TO
ENERGIZE THE LASER BEAM.
DID YOUR ASSISTANT
HEAR THIS TOO?
NO. SVEN ONLY HEARD
WHAT HE WANTED TO HEAR.
HE WAS A FRIGHTENED MAN.
APPARENTLY
FOR A VERY GOOD REASON.
HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?
THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS
WITHOUT SACRIFICE.
I CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND
HOW I SURVIVED.
UNLESS...
IT WANTED ME
TO SURVIVE.
IT?
THAT MUST BE THE ANSWER.
ALL THOSE HOURS
OF MAKING CONTACT,
AND THEN THE BIG BREAKTHROUGH!
IT WANTS ME ALIVE.
IT NEEDS MY HELP.
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS,
DR. BERGSTROM?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT IT IS AN ENTITY,
AN INTELLIGENCE
FROM SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.
IT IS IN TOUCH
WITH US THROUGH ME.
WE MUST MAKE THE BEST OF IT.
IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH
YOU'RE CONVINCED
IT'S A FRIENDLY INTELLIGENCE.
- I AM.
- YET IT KILLED YOUR ASSISTANT
AND DESTROYED YOUR LABORATORY.
ADMIRAL,
WHEN MAN GOES TO THE STARS,
AS HE EVENTUALLY WILL,
HE WILL NOT GO AS AN ENEMY--
HE WILL GO TO LEARN.
AND HE MAY ACCIDENTALLY
MAKE MISTAKES.
HE MAY INADVERTENTLY ANTAGONIZE
OR HURT THE ALIEN CREATURES
HE ENCOUNTERS.
THAT'S WHAT
YOU THINK HAPPENED
AT YOUR LISTENING POST?
I DO. THAT'S WHY WE MUST
GO BACK TO THE LISTENING POST
TO REESTABLISH CONTACT WITH IT.
IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THIS
PHENOMENON YOU DISCOVERED IS
HERE ABOARD SEAVIEW RIGHT NOW.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
THERE WAS NO HEAT
WHEN WE RESCUED YOU,
DOCTOR.
ONLY BELOW-ZERO
TEMPERATURES.
AND ALL WE FOUND THERE
WAS AN ODDLY-SHAPED
BLOCK OF ICE.
ICE? WHAT HAS THAT
TO DO WITH IT?
THIS ALIEN ENTITY
WAS TREMENDOUSLY HOT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING
INSIDE THAT ICE,
LIKE A--
A PULSATING GLOW
THAT LOOKED LIKE FIRE.
THEN IT MUST BE IT.
WHERE IS THIS ICE?
I MUST SEE IT.
[ Man On Intercom ]
FIRE DETAIL, REPORT TO
SECTION D-7 ON THE DOUBLE.
REPEAT. FIRE DETAIL
TO SECTION D-7.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
EMERGENCY INDICATORS SHOW
A SHARP TEMPERATURE RISE IN D-7.
D-7?
THAT'S WHERE WE STORED
THE ICE BLOCK.
DOCTOR.
F-FEEL THAT HEAT.
THE ENTITY IS IN THERE.
IT'S COME TO LIFE.
WE MUST TALK WITH IT,
ADMIRAL.
IT STAYS BEHIND STEEL DOORS
TILL WE KNOW WHAT IT IS
AND HOW WE CAN CONTROL IT.
BUT IT CAME TO ME.
SURELY I AM THE ONE TO SAY
WHAT TO DO NEXT.
CHIEF, MOVE IN THERE
WITH CO2.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
THE HEAT IS GETTING WORSE.
[ Bergstrom ]
WHO ARE YOU?
ANSWER US!
I AM PROFESSOR BERGSTROM!
I'VE TALKED TO YOU!
WHO ARE YOU?
IT'S GETTING HOTTER.
CHECK THE AIR CONDITIONING.
CONTROL ROOM, GIVE US
A TEMPERATURE READING
ON SECTION D-7.
115 DEGREES AND RISING.
IS THE AIR CONDITIONING
WORKING?
IT'S FUNCTIONING NORMALLY,
BUT IT CAN'T CONTROL THAT RISE.
ALL RIGHT, CRANK IT UP.
AYE, SIR.
WHAT WAS IN
THAT CAKE OF ICE?
I TOLD YOU-- A HEAT BEING
FROM DEEP SPACE.
WELL, WHATEVER IT WAS,
IT'S CERTAINLY ABOARD.
THE HEAT IS STILL RISING.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND IT
AND DESTROY IT.
NO! WE CAN'T!
YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE FOR GRANTED
THAT AN ALIEN BEING IS HOSTILE.
PERHAPS NOT.
BUT I AM CERTAIN
IT'S DANGEROUS TO HUMAN LIFE.
[ Whooshing ]
YOU! WHATEVER YOU ARE,
WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS.
I AM BERGSTROM.
- CHIEF, PUT IT OUT,
ON THE DOUBLE.
- AYE, AYE, SIR.
WHAT HAPPENED?
IT'S GONE.
YOU'VE DESTROYED IT.
WELL, I, UH,
I SINCERELY HOPE SO.
BUT IT'S MURDER.
YOU HAVE DELIBERATELY KILLED
A CREATURE FROM ANOTHER WORLD.
IT'S ABOUT TIME.
I WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL
LIKE A BOILED LOBSTER.
CHIEF,
SECURE THE DETAIL.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CONTROL ROOM, WHAT'S
THE TEMPERATURE READING
IN SECTION D-7 NOW?
THE HEAT'S DROPPING NOW
DOWN TO 108.
BUT WE'RE GETTING A RISE
IN TEMPERATURE AMIDSHIPS.
IT'S UP TO 120
AND STILL GOING UP.
APPARENTLY NOBODY'S
BEEN MURDERED, BERGSTROM.
THE HEAT'S STILL WITH US.
PINPOINT THE LOCATION
AND NOTIFY, ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, SIR.
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME.
WHEN YOU LOCATE IT AGAIN,
LET ME MAKE CONTACT WITH IT.
I'M SURE I CAN HELP.
- CAPTAIN CRANE,
THIS IS SPARKS.
- GO AHEAD, SPARKS.
I'M PICKING UP
A STRANGE SOUND, SIR, LIKE
A VOICE LOST IN THE WIND.
THAT'S IT.
[ Sparks ] I CAN'T MAKE IT OUT
CLEARLY, BUT I THINK I CAUGHT
THE NAME OF "BERGSTROM."
I TOLD YOU THAT WAS IT!
IT CAME TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ME!
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
CHIP?
HEAT AMIDSHIPS
HOLDING AT 123 DEGREES.
STILL THERE, SPARKS?
NO, I'M SORRY, SIR.
I'M AFRAID I'VE LOST IT.
YOU CAN'T LOSE IT.
GET IT BACK.
IT'S COMING THROUGH
AGAIN, SIR.
[ Male Voice ]
I SPEAK TO PROFESSOR BERGSTROM.
I WAS RIGHT.
I AM THE CONTACT.
[ Male Voice ]
COMMANDER OF STATION XZ-5,
IT IS NECESSARY
THAT WE MEET TO TALK.
NO HARM WILL COME
TO PROFESSOR BERGSTROM.
I WAIT. THE TEMPERATURE
WILL NOT RISE ANY MORE
ON YOUR SHIP.
NOT IF WE MEET.
CHIP, WHERE IS
THE HEAT CENTER NOW?
THE ENGINE ROOM AREA.
IT ASKED FOR ME. I WILL GO.
IT COULD BE THAT NOW WE
MAKE CONTACT FACE-TO-FACE.
WITH WHAT?
SMOKE? FLAME?
- I MUST GO TO IT!
- NOT ALONE.
[ Male Voice ]
I WAIT FOR
PROFESSOR BERGSTROM.
I WAIT!
TALK TO HIM.
THIS IS BERGSTROM.
I'M COMING.
[ Panting ] IT'S AWFULLY
HOT IN HERE, SKI.
SURE IS.
THE CHIEF SAID TO CHECK OUT
THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS.
GIVE ME THAT METER BOX.
WHEW.
GIVE ME A CHECK
ON THE PRIMARY CIRCUITS.
[ Switches Flipping ]
IT SHOULDN'T BE
THIS WARM IN HERE.
YEAH. MAYBE THAT HEAT THING
IS CLOSE BY.
YEAH, IT COULD BE.
IT'S NOT HERE NOW.
MAYBE WE OUGHTA GET OUTTA HERE.
RELAX, WILL YA?
RELAX.
WE'VE GOT A JOB TO DO,
SO--
SO LET'S DO IT.
WHAT'S YOUR READING?
I SAID,
WHAT'S YOUR READING?
OH.
TROUBLE.
THE NEEDLE'S
IN THE DANGER ZONE.
IT'S MOVING UP
HIGHER.
YEAH. AND IT'S GETTING
HOTTER IN HERE TOO.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'D BETTER PULL ALL
THE PRIMARY CIRCUITS FIRST.
RIGHT.
[ Both Coughing ]
[ Coughing Continues ]
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
LET'S--
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.
[ Coughing Continues ]
GET DOWN.
I'M BURNING UP.
I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE
OF THIS HEAT.
EASY, PAT, EASY.
WE'LL GET OUT
OF THIS SOMEHOW.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
IT'S GOT US BLOCKED.
[ Coughs ]
I'LL GET SOME HELP.
AAH! AAH!
[ Coughs ]
HURRY UP, SKI!
HOLD ON!
I'M COMING!
WE GOT A CHANCE
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
THIS INSULATION'LL
PROTECT US.
THAT THING'LL
BURN US TO A CRISP.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
IF WE STAY HERE,
WE'RE DEAD.
WE'RE DEAD IF WE GO.
SNAP OUT OF IT!
NOW GET BEHIND ME
AND HOLD ON.
[ Coughing Continues ]
WE CAN'T MAKE IT.
WE'LL FRY!
NOW LISTEN, BUDDY,
AND LISTEN GOOD,
OR YOU'RE DEAD!
WHEN I SAY WE GO,
WE GO, AND FAST!
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
OKAY. OKAY.
NOW TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
[ Inhales ]
ALL RIGHT, NOW, LET'S GO.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
[ Coughing Continues ]
THE ENGINE ROOM, SIR.
IT'S THE ENGINE--
ENGINE ROOM--
BURNS
AND HEAT PROSTRATION.
SICK BAY,
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
THERE ARE TWO MEN HURT
AT THE INTERSECTION
OF CORRIDORS 17 AND 18.
GET SOME STRETCHERS
DOWN HERE FAST.
LET'S GET
THE ENGINE ROOM!
WHAT KIND OF A CREATURE
COULD HAVE MADE
PRINTS LIKE THIS?
ARE YOU CONVINCED NOW,
CAPTAIN?
ALL RIGHT,
I KNOW WE'RE FACED
WITH SOMETHING...
THAT COULD
DESTROY THE SEAVIEW
AND ALL OF US.
IT'S ALREADY CUT DOWN
KOWALSKI AND MALLOY.
SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
JUST WHAT IT ASKS.
WE'LL TALK TO IT.
WE CAN'T GO IN THERE
WITHOUT SOMETHING
TO FIGHT IT WITH,
SOME PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
AND CO2.
IT HAS NOTHING TO GAIN
FROM ATTACKING
THE THREE OF US.
LET'S HEAR
WHAT IT HAS TO SAY.
YES, ADMIRAL.
I ASKED FOR
PROFESSOR BERGSTROM
OF STATION XZ-5.
- I'M HERE.
- WITH OTHERS.
THEY ARE
YOUR FRIENDS TOO.
- WE'RE ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
- PROVE IT.
DO AS I ASK.
- WHAT DO YOU ASK?
- IT IS SIMPLE.
BUT WHO SPEAKS?
I'M ADMIRAL NELSON,
AND THIS IS THE CAPTAIN OF
THE SEAVIEW, COMMANDER CRANE.
WE HAVE HEARD YOUR WORDS
ACROSS SPACE.
WHO'S WE?
I AM NOT HERE
TO WASTE WORDS
ON EXPLANATION,
BUT SINCE YOU ARE HERE
WE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF YOUR PRESENCE.
YOU HAVE VAST POWER
ABOARD THIS SHIP.
USE IT.
W-WHAT POWER?
YOU WILL EMPLOY
THE NUCLEAR REACTOR...
TO BLAST A THERMAL HEAT RAY
UNDER THE ICE PACK,
DIRECTLY
BENEATH THE HUT...
WHICH WAS ARCTIC
LISTENING STATION XZ-5.
THE RAY WILL CARRY
A HEAT BLAST...
OF 3,000 DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
THREE THOUSAND DEGREES?
IT'D TAKE AT LEAST TWO HOURS
TO BUILD UP THAT AMOUNT OF HEAT.
IN THAT CASE,
I GIVE YOU TWO HOURS.
NO MORE.
THEN YOU WILL DIRECT THE BLAST
BENEATH THE HUT.
THAT IS AN ORDER.
OH.
WELL,
WE DON'T TAKE ORDERS.
AND WHY DO YOU ASK US
TO SEND THAT BLAST?
WE DO NOT GIVE REASONS.
SUFFICE
THAT THEY ARE GOOD.
SEND THE BLAST
IN TWO HOURS.
MEANWHILE, THE HEAT
WILL RISE ABOARD YOUR SHIP,
SLOWLY BUT INEVITABLY.
IT WILL NOT DROP
UNTIL YOU FIRE THE BLAST.
IF THE BLAST IS NOT FIRED,
YOUR SHIP AND ALL ABOARD
WILL DIE.
YOU, WHATEVER YOU ARE,
I AM BERGSTROM.
YOU HAVE NOT TALKED TO ME.
I HAVE TALKED
WITH THE ADMIRAL.
IT IS SUFFICIENT.
TWO HOURS.
I REPEAT,
WE DON'T TAKE ORDERS...
WITHOUT REASON.
IS THAT REASON ENOUGH,
ADMIRAL?
TWO HOURS,
OR YOU ALL DIE!
- ENGINE ROOM TEMPERATURE.
- 124 DEGREES.
- AT LEAST THAT THING'S
KEEPING THE TEMPERATURE DOWN.
- NOT IN THE REST OF THE SHIP.
IT'S 117 DEGREES
HERE IN THE CONTROL ROOM,
136 IN SECTION F-2,
138 IN F-3.
THERE ARE MEN IN F-3.
GET THEM OUT OF THERE, AND TURN
THE AIR CONDITIONING UP FULL.
SECTION F-3,
THIS IS THE EXEC.
EVACUATE YOUR MEN
INTO G-9.
AIR CONDITIONING SECTION,
GO TO FULL EMERGENCY.
ADMIRAL, THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE
ON YOUR SUBMARINE
IS 132 DEGREES.
AT THE PRESENT RATE OF RISE,
IN TWO HOURS EVERY MAN ON BOARD
WILL BE DEAD.
IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT WE
GIVE IN AND SEND A HEAT BLAST
UNDER THE ICE, THE ANSWER IS NO!
- LEE, ANY HELP
FROM THE COMPUTER?
- NONE.
ALL THE KNOWN DATAS
HAVE BEEN FED INTO IT,
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
- CAN'T EVEN GIVE US A HINT
ABOUT THAT THING.
- BUT YOU CAN'T FIGHT IT.
EITHER YOU SEND THAT
THERMAL BLAST UNDER THE ICE,
OR WE ALL DIE.
ANY CONTACT WITH WASHINGTON?
I CAN'T MAKE CONTACT
WITH ANYONE, SIR.
WHAT ABOUT
THE EMERGENCY CIRCUITS?
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
THAT HEAT MUST HAVE DAMAGED
THE TRANSMITTER BOXES.
MMM. HOW LONG
TO MAKE REPAIRS?
WELL, POSSIBLY
THREE HOURS.
BUT THEY'RE DOWN
IN SECTION F-3.
ADMIRAL.
WOULD YOU COME HERE,
PLEASE.
THE HEAT'S MOVING
INTO THE REACTOR ROOM.
IT'S 142 DEGREES IN THERE
AND RISING.
WE MAY HAVE TO ABANDON SHIP.
OH, NO, NO, NO.
THAT'S NO GOOD, LEE.
WE'RE NOT EQUIPPED
TO SURVIVE IN THE ICE PACKS.
UNLESS HELP CAME FAST,
WE'D BE FROZEN
INSTEAD OF ROASTED.
AND HOW ARE YOU
GONNA GET HELP?
THE RADIO'S BEYOND REPAIR.
ADMIRAL,
WHY FIGHT...
WHEN YOU COULD
COLLABORATE?
YOU MEAN, SEND THAT BLAST
UNDER THE ICE, HUH?
WHAT CAN YOU LOSE?
THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE.
WHO CAN IT HURT?
I STILL SAY THAT WHATEVER
IS ON BOARD THIS SHIP
IS NOT BELLIGERENT...
AND CAME TO ME
OF ITS OWN FREE WILL.
APPARENTLY WITH A DESIRE
TO BURN US ALL TO A CRISP.
- I DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
- WELL, I DO.
GIVE IT A CHANCE. WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THINGS
MAN HAS NEVER KNOWN BEFORE.
THE TRUE MEANING
OF THE STARS.
CONTACT WITH INTELLIGENCE
FROM DEEPEST SPACE. WHO KNOWS
WHAT ELSE WE MAY LEARN.
I'D LIKE TO LEARN WHY IT WANTS
A NUCLEAR BLAST UNDER THE ICE.
- BLAST THE ICE,
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR ANSWER.
- YEAH, ONE ANSWER.
THERE MUST BE A REASON
WHY IT NEEDS HEAT,
AND WHY IT'S PUTTING
PRESSURE ON US
INSTEAD OF DESTROYING US.
NO, YOU ARE WRONG.
I KNOW THAT THIS THING
IS INVINCIBLE.
INVINCIBLE?
I WONDER.
IT WAS TRAPPED IN THE ICE,
PERHAPS DYING OF COLD.
IF WE HADN'T BROUGHT IT ABOARD--
MAYBE THAT'S THE ANSWER--
COLD.
IF WE FLOOD THE ENGINE ROOM
WITH ARCTIC WATER--
I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL IT!
I HAVE GIVEN
10 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
HEAT'S RISING AGAIN.
IT'S 123 DEGREES IN HERE.
UP TO 149 DEGREES
IN THE REACTOR ROOM.
FLOOD THE ENGINE ROOM.
NOW!
RIGHT AWAY!
149 DEGREES
IN THE ENGINE ROOM.
WHAT WOULD YOU GUESS
IT WOULD BE IN ABOUT
AN HOUR AND A HALF?
HOT ENOUGH TO MELT SOME CONTROLS
AND SET OFF A CHAIN REACTION.
MM-HMM. EXACTLY.
ADMIRAL,
THIS IS CRANE.
THE FLOODING CONTROLS
AND CIRCUITRY ARE
WELDED TIGHT BY THE HEAT.
I'LL GO INTO THE ENGINE ROOM
WITH CO2 EQUIPMENT
AND ACTIVATE FROM THERE.
[ Nelson ]
RIGHT, LEE.
GO TO IT.
GET TWO MORE OF THESE READY.
I'LL GET THE SPECIAL RIG.
[ Thud ]
THEY'RE TRYING
TO KILL YOU.
HOW WOULD THEY KILL ME?
THEY WANT TO FLOOD THIS ROOM
WITH THE ICY SEA WATERS.
ICY SEA WATERS?
BUT YOU CAME TO ME-- TO ME--
SO I STOPPED THEM.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?
OH, YOU CAN
TEACH ME SO MUCH.
THE SECRETS
OF THE UNIVERSE.
I WANT TO LEARN.
BUT WE CAN ALL LEARN.
THEY TOO, IF YOU WILL
JUST MEET US HALFWAY.
TELL ME ONE THING
SO THEY WILL HELP,
NOT HINDER.
WHY DO YOU ASK
FOR THE BLAST
UNDER THE ICE?
WE DO NOT
ANSWER QUESTIONS.
OH, BUT YOU WANT THEM
TO DO WHAT YOU SAY.
THEY WILL DO WHAT I SAY.
SO WILL YOU.
I WANT TO.
YOU WILL.
YOU WILL WORK WITH US
BECAUSE YOU WISH TO LEARN.
AND WILL WE TEACH.
BUT FIRST, TELL THEM
TO SEND THAT BLAST
UNDER THE ICE.
THEY HAVE HARDLY
AN HOUR LEFT.
I CAN'T FORCE THEM.
YOU WILL FIND A WAY.
IF YOU FAIL,
EVERYBODY ON THIS SHIP DIES.
LISTEN, THERE ARE
OVER 100 MEN ABOARD.
WE ARE NO LONGER
INTERESTED IN DISCUSSION.
DO AS YOU ARE BID!
GO!
IT'S 128 HERE
IN THE CONTROL ROOM,
147 IN THE ENGINE ROOM,
AND 163 IN THE REACTOR ROOM.
UH-HUH.
[ On Intercom ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS CRANE.
YES, LEE?
FIND BERGSTROM
AND THROW HIM IN THE BRIG.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE ATTACKED ME
AND KNOCKED ME OUT.
DID YOU FLOOD THE ENGINE ROOM?
NO. HE GOT ME ON THE WAY.
I'M HEADING THERE NOW.
I'LL JOIN YOU.
THERE IS NO HURRY,
ADMIRAL.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
PUT THAT GUN DOWN.
ORDER THE BLAST.
HEAT THE REACTOR
AND ORDER THE BLAST.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gasps ]
YOU ARE WRONG!
YOU CAN'T FIGHT SOMETHING
BIGGER THAN YOU ARE!
ORDER THE BLAST!
- TAKE HIM TO THE RESTRAINT WARD
AND LOCK HIM UP.
- YOU ARE WRONG!
YOU WILL DIE.
WE WILL ALL DIE!
I KNOW!
I KNOW! NOW, FIRE--
FIRE THE BLAST!
[ Groans ]
I KNOW WE WILL DIE!
FIRE IT!
TAKE THE CONN. I'LL BE
IN THE ENGINE ROOM.
AYE.
YOU PLAY THE STREAM ON IT.
I'LL TRY TO GET TO
THE FLOODING CONTROLS.
ALL SET.
LET'S GO.
FOOLS! DID YOU THINK
YOU COULD DESTROY ME?
YOUR TIME
IS RUNNING OUT!
DO AS I SAY,
OR YOU YOURSELVES...
SHALL ALL BE DESTROYED--
DESTROYED-- DESTROYED--
GENERAL HEAT LEVEL'S
146.
HEAT AMIDSHIPS
AND THE ENGINE ROOM'S 163.
THE REACTOR ROOM--
184.
IF THIS KEEPS UP,
WE'LL EITHER HAVE TO
FIRE THAT BLAST
OR ABANDON SEAVIEW.
WHAT IF THERE ARE MORE OF THEM
OUT THERE FROZEN IN THE ICE,
AS THIS ONE WAS,
NEEDING THE HEAT
FROM A NUCLEAR BLAST
TO BRING THEM TO LIFE?
IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
WHAT CAN WE DO?
GO BACK TO THE HUT.
TAKE THE SNOW CAT
AND AN M-74 TIME BOMB AND SET IT
TO BLAST THE ENTIRE AREA.
WELL, WITH AN M-74
WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE TOO.
YEAH, WELL,
WHEN YOU GET BACK,
WE'LL ABANDON SHIP,
FLOOD THE SEAVIEW AS WE LEAVE.
N-NOW, MOVE FAST!
ANOTHER HALF HOUR,
AND WE'RE ALL FINISHED.
[ Humming ]
YOU ARE HERE.
YOU ARE HERE.
I'VE DONE WHAT I CAN.
I WANT TO HELP,
BUT NOBODY LISTENS.
TWO MEN HAVE LEFT THIS CRAFT.
THEY GO TO THE HUT.
IN THE INTERESTS
OF INTERPLANETARY ACCORD,
YOU MUST FOLLOW
AND DESTROY THEM.
BUT I CAN'T LEAVE THE SHIP
WITHOUT BEING SEEN.
I CAN'T EVEN GET OUT OF HERE.
WE CAN TEACH,
AND YOU CAN LEARN.
INVISIBILITY-- IT IS AN ELEMENT
WHICH YOU WILL EXPERIENCE.
- HOW DO YOU MEAN?
- LOOK AT YOURSELF.
GET OUT!
GET OUT NOW!
[ Bergstrom ]
YES. YES, I'LL GO.
READY TO GO, SIR.
THE BOMB IS SECURE
ON THE SNOW CAT.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU
TO HURRY.
NONE OF US CAN STAND
MUCH MORE HEAT.
WE'LL GET IT DONE
AND GET BACK
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
[ Hatch Slams ]
ALL RIGHT,
BACK TO YOUR POSTS.
[ Footsteps ]
[ Hatch Opens ]
HUH.
THE ADMIRAL SAID
THERE MIGHT BE
MORE OF 'EM OUT HERE.
IF THEY'VE COME IN
ON A LASER BEAM,
THEN THE HEAT OF
THE NUCLEAR BLAST UNDER THE ICE
COULD BRING THEM TO LIFE.
SO WE'LL BLOW 'EM BACK
TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
CHIEF, COME ON.
AYE, SIR.
WE'LL NEED ABOUT
A HALF AN HOUR
TO GET SEAVIEW OUT OF HERE.
WE'LL GET IT TO BLOW
AT, UH, 2:45.
IT'S 2:15 NOW.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Hinges Creaking ]
JUST THE WIND.
OKAY, COME ON.
LET'S GO.
[ Bergstrom ] NO!
WHO'S THERE?
DR. BERGSTROM.
WHERE ARE YOU?
OVER HERE.
WHERE?
[ Crane ]
BERGSTROM!
WHERE ARE YOU?
[ Groans ]
[ Sharkey ]
HE'S OVER THERE SOMEWHERE.
[ Sharkey Grunting ]
I GOT HIM!
[ Groans ]
[ Sharkey ]
HE GOT AWAY!
[ Gunshot ]
I HIT HIM.
[ Hinges Creak ]
THAT'S NOT THE WIND.
HE'S GONE.
[ Beeping ]
LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.
AYE, SIR.
[ Exhales ]
IT'S DESERTED.
THIS HEAT.
YOU CAN TOUCH IT.
[ Crane ]
YOU CAN SEE IT.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT
OF HERE, SIR.
THAT THING'LL
FRY US.
ADMIRAL.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
DO YOU HEAR ME,
ADMIRAL?
THIS IS CRANE.
- WHERE ARE YOU, LEE?
- IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
GET OUT OF THERE. THE THING
WENT FORWARD. IT COULD BE
STANDING RIGHT ALONGSIDE OF YOU.
WE CAN SEE IT.
WE'RE IN THE MISSILE ROOM.
GET DOWN HERE FAST.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
COME ON!
I DON'T HAVE TO
BRIEF YOU ABOUT THIS.
ALL HATCHES, ALL ESCAPE ROUTES
ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF HEAT.
YOU HAVE TO CUT THROUGH
THE UPPER ESCAPE HATCH...
BEFORE WE ALL
DIE OF HEAT.
THE ONLY CUTTING GEAR
WE HAVE DOWN HERE
IS THIS TORCH, SIR.
WELL,
THAT'LL HAVE TO DO.
ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD.
AND KEEP IN TOUCH.
ACTIVATE, PHIL.
[ Pressurized Water
Rushing ]
AT LEAST WE CAN
FLOOD THAT.
LET'S JUST HOPE
THEY CAN CUT
THROUGH THE HATCH.
[ Nelson ]
SECURE THE HATCH.
WE'VE GOT TO
ABANDON SHIP.
I HAVE DIVERS IN THE HATCH
TRYING TO BURN
THEIR WAY OUT.
[ Crane ]
A HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE.
WITH THAT KIND OF HEAT,
HOW LONG CAN WE LAST?
[ On Intercom ]
SIR, THIS IS ANDERSON
IN THE ESCAPE HATCH.
THERE'S NOT A PRAYER
OF CUTTING THROUGH UP HERE.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE,
ANDERSON?
THE ESCAPE HATCH IS WELDED
TO THE ENTIRE DECK SECTION, SIR.
WE HAVE TO CUT THROUGH
FIVE FEET OF SOLID STEEL
TO GET OUT.
ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK IN.
PHIL.
AYE, SIR.
HOW-- HOW LONG
BEFORE THE BOMB BLOWS?
EIGHT MINUTES.
WELL, I'D SAY
IT'S A TOSS-UP.
WHICH GETS US FIRST,
THE HEAT OR THE BOMB?
[ Footsteps ]
WE'RE ALL FINISHED,
YOU KNOW.
FINISHED?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THEY'VE SET A TIME BOMB.
IT WILL BLOW
AT QUARTER TO 3:00.
EVERYBODY DIES,
INCLUDING...
THOSE OTHERS LIKE YOU
OUT THERE.
SO YOU FAILED
TO STOP THEM.
I TRIED.
THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
YOU HAVE LOST YOUR USEFULNESS.
WE DO NOT NEED YOU.
SO I MUST DIE.
BURN LIKE THE OTHERS.
IS THAT IT?
WELL?
YOU CAN DIE TOO.
THERE MUST BE A WAY.
WHAT IS IT?
I SPEAK TO THE COMMANDERS--
THE ADMIRAL, THE CAPTAIN.
SEND OUT MEN NOW!
DEACTIVATE THAT BOMB!
DEACTIVATE THAT BOMB!
AND IF WE DON'T?
IF YOU DON'T, THIS CRAFT WILL
BOIL AND BURST WITHIN MINUTES.
WELL, WE'VE GOT SIX MINUTES
BEFORE THE BOMB GOES.
IT'S BOILING IN HERE.
[ Grunting ]
I SPEAK AGAIN
TO THE COMMANDERS OF THIS SHIP.
YOU HAVE MY ORDERS.
THE HEAT
WILL CONTINUE TO RISE.
SEND OUT MEN NOW
TO STOP THAT BOMB.
[ Chuckles ]
ARE YOU DOING
AS I BID YOU?
SEND OUT MEN!
[ Gasps ]
ADMIRAL.
THIS IS BERGSTROM.
BERGSTROM?
LISTEN--
LISTEN--
YES, BERGSTROM?
THE THING CAN DIE.
COLD WILL KILL IT.
IS THERE
FREEZING EQUIPMENT
ON BOARD?
LIQUID OXYGEN.
ADMIRAL.
LISTEN TO ME.
I--
[ Screaming ]
EVEN WITH THESE,
WE'D BURN TO DEATH BEFORE
WE'D GET TO THE CONTROL ROOM.
WELL, GET
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
NO ANSWER.
YOU WILL NOT ANSWER.
THEN THE ANSWER IS WITH ME.
YOU WILL BOIL.
DIE!
DIE!
COLD!
COLD.
SO COLD.
WE'VE GOT IT.
IT'S OVER.
THE HEAT'S FALLING.
IT'S NOT OVER.
THE BOMB.
GET US OUT OF HERE, LEE,
IF WE'RE STILL MANEUVERABLE.
AND IF WE STILL HAVE A CREW.
PREPARE TO DIVE.
[ Man On Intercom ]
PREPARE TO DIVE. AYE.
DIVE! DIVE!
[ Man On Intercom ]
DIVE! DIVE!
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
[ Switch Flips ]
WELL, I THINK
WE MADE IT.
[ Exhales ]
LET'S USE
THE AUTOMATIC PILOT.
HE'S DEAD.
WELL, BETTER GET THINGS
BACK TO NORMAL.
NOW HEAR THIS.
ALL HANDS REPORT
TO DUTY STATIONS.
ALL HANDS
TO DUTY STATIONS.
[ Exhales ]
YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
ADMIRAL?
IT'S COLD IN HERE.
[ Laughs ]
LET'S BE THANKFUL FOR
ALL SMALL FAVORS, LEE.
