Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 3, Episode 22 - No Escape from Death - full transcript

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?
IT'S A SUB, ALL RIGHT.

CONTROL ROOM, ANY SIGN YET
OF THE UNDERSEA LAB?

NEGATIVE, ADMIRAL.
BUT THERE'S AN UNIDENTIFIED SUB
PLAYING TAG WITH US.

SHE'S IGNORED
OUR RECOGNITION SIGNALS,
AND SHE'S RUNNING SILENT.

MM-HMM. YOU THINK
THERE'S ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN
THE SUBMARINE AND THE SEA LAB?

YES, I THINK THERE IS.
THE SUB COULD BE
RUNNING SUPPLIES THERE.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO?

RUN SILENT OURSELVES
AND TAKE EVASIVE ACTION...

UNTIL WE CAN DETERMINE
WHAT SHE'S UP TO.

VERY WELL.
KEEP ME INFORMED, HUH?

RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU READ NOW?



IT'S OFF OUR
PORT QUARTER, SIR,

BEARING 3-1-0 DEGREES
RELATIVE.

RANGE: 300 YARDS.

THAT'S TOO CLOSE.

PASS THE WORD TO RIG
FOR SILENT RUNNING.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
NOW HEAR THIS.

ALL HANDS,
RIG FOR SILENT RUNNING.

NO UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT
IN THE SHIP.

ENGINEERING,
STOP ALL ENGINES.
AYE, SIR.

DO YOU STILL HAVE CONTACT?
AYE, SIR.

SAME RELATIVE BEARING.
RANGE NOW 100.

THEY'RE CLOSING.

ANYTHING ON HYDROMETER?
NO, SIR.

NO SOUND OF ENGINES?
NO, SIR.



THEY'RE JUST DRIFTING,
SAME AS US.

THEY'RE DOING EXACTLY
THE SAME THING WE ARE.

I WONDER IF THEY REALIZE
HOW CLOSE TOGETHER
WE'RE DRIFTING.

WELL, THEY'VE GOT SONAR TOO.
RANGE, KOWALSKI?

CLOSING TO 55, SIR.

THAT LEAVES US
NO ROOM TO MANEUVER.

WE'D BETTER LET THEM KNOW
HOW CLOSE THEY ARE.

THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.
SECURE SILENT RUNNING.

HARD RIGHT RUDDER.
ALL AHEAD FLANK.

[ Patterson ] SKIPPER.
[ Man On Speaker ]
ALL AHEAD FLANK.

THEY'VE STARTED
THEIR ENGINES TOO.

THE SOUND'S
BEARING DOWN ON US.
HERE.

RANGE?

THIRTY-FIVE YARDS,
BEARING 2-7-0 RELATIVE.

THEY'RE CLOSING FAST.

WE'RE GONNA HIT.

RIG FOR COLLISION.
RIG FOR COLLISION.

ALL HANDS, BRACE YOURSELVES!
STAND BY FOR--

[ Explosion ]

[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.

FIRE DETAIL,
HIT THOSE FLAMES!

[ Man On Speaker ]
CONTROL. CONTROL,
THIS IS THE MISSILE ROOM.

GO AHEAD, MISSILE ROOM.

COMPARTMENTS JUST AFT ARE
SHIPPING CONSIDERABLE WATER.
WE'RE CUT OFF.

ALL RIGHT, KEEP ALL HATCHES
DOGGED AND STAND FAST.
WE'LL GET TO YOU.

[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.

[ Explosions Continue ]

[ Man #2 On Speaker ]
ENGINE ROOM TO CONTROL.
SHIPPING WATER FAST.

EVACUATE FORWARD,
ON THE DOUBLE!
AYE, SIR.

[ Explosions Continue ]

THAT SUB
DELIBERATELY RAMMED US.

BLOW ALL MAIN BALLASTS.
TAKE HER UP. TAKE HER UP.

THERE GOES
THE MAIN GENERATOR.
HERE, TAKE OVER.

I'LL CHECK IT OUT.

BLOW SAFETY TANKS.
FULL UP BUBBLE.
BUOYANCY!

[ Groans ]

LET ME OUT!

[ Switches Channel ]
[ Man ]
HEY!

HEY! HEY!
SOMEBODY LET ME OUT OF HERE,
WILL YA?

HEY, WE'RE GOIN' DOWN
IN HERE!

HEY!

HEY!

HEY! HEY!

SOMEBODY! SOMEBODY!

HEY! HEY!

[ Both Shouting, Indistinct ]

HEY, GIVE US A HAND!

GET THIS MAN!

TAKE HIS ARM.

HELP ME! HELP!

BETTER BRACE YOURSELF,
EVERYBODY.
WE'RE GONNA HIT BOTTOM.

ANYBODY HURT?
I'M ALL RIGHT, SKIPPER.

ALL RIGHT.
AT LEAST THE MAIN
GENERATOR'S OKAY.

[ Exhales Deeply ]
THIS IS THE EXEC.
GIVE ME A DAMAGE CONTROL REPORT.

ENGINEERING, REPORT!
IT'S OUT.
GET SOMEBODY TO WORK ON IT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
KOWALSKI, PATTERSON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, THERE'S NO WAY
TO EVALUATE THE DAMAGE, BUT
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AT ALL.

I TRIED TO REACH YOU
ON THE INTERCOM, SIR.

I KNOW. IT'S BROKEN.
WHAT'S YOUR REPORT?
NOT VERY GOOD, SIR.

THE ENGINE ROOM WAS FLOODED.
WE HAD TO SEAL IT OFF.

DID EVERYBODY GET OUT?

MOST OF THEM, YES, SIR.
WE LOST TWO MEN.

I SEE.

ANY OTHER FLOODING?
YES, SIR.

AT LEAST THREE COMPARTMENTS
BETWEEN THE MISSILE ROOM
AND THE ENGINE ROOM.

AND THERE'S A WEAKENED BULKHEAD
ALONG THE NUMBER FOUR
COMPANIONWAY.

IF THAT CAVES IN, SIR, WE--
WE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.

GET A SHORING DETAIL ON IT
RIGHT AWAY.
TRY TO SAVE IT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS,
COME ON!

I'VE GOT KOWALSKI AND PATTERSON
CHECKING THE INTERCOM LINE.
THERE'S A SHORT SOMEWHERE.

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE ADMIRAL?
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
SINCE THE COLLISION.

NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT,
NEITHER HAVE I.

I'M GONNA LOOK FOR HIM.
TAKE OVER.

PAT, CHECK THAT HATCH, WILL YOU?
I'LL GET THIS ONE.
OKAY.

[ Coughing ]

HEY, SKI!

COME ON!

ADMIRAL?

[ Fire Extinguishers
Spraying ]

[ Coughing ]

HOW BAD IS IT?
NOT AS BAD AS IT LOOKS,
SIR.

I THINK WE GOT IT ALL OUT.
ALL RIGHT.
STAY WITH IT.

MAKE SURE.
RIGHT, SIR.

COME ON. WEDGE IT IN TIGHT.
IF THIS BULKHEAD GOES,
WE'RE ALL DEAD!

GOOD JOB, CHIEF.
THANK YOU, SIR.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE ADMIRAL?
I'M LOOKING FOR HIM.
NO, SIR.

OH! WAIT A MINUTE, SKIPPER.
ONE OF THE WORK GANG
IN THE FLOODED ENGINE ROOM...

SAID SOMETHING ABOUT
THE ADMIRAL HELPING HIM OUT
DOWN THERE.

YOU MIGHT FIND HIM
IN THAT DIRECTION.
THANKS. I'LL TAKE A LOOK.

[ Rumbling ]

[ Coughs ]

I THINK THAT'S
GOT IT, SKI.

[ Rumbling ]

WHAT WAS THAT?
WE'RE STILL SETTLING
ON THE BOTTOM.

YOU THINK THAT OTHER SUB
RAMMED US ON PURPOSE?

OH, I DOUBT IT.
THEY HAD TO BE HURT AS BAD
AS WE ARE BY THE COLLISION.

YOU KNOW,
I WAS WONDERING, SKI.

YOU THINK WE'LL GET OUT
OF THIS ONE?

I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT SO AT FIRST,

BUT-- BUT NOW
I'M NOT SO SURE.

ME EITHER.

I WONDER HOW MUCH TIME
WE'VE GOT?

I DON'T KNOW THAT EITHER.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
[ Coughs ]
RIGHT.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
WE HAD A FIRE
IN THERE, SIR.

IT'S ALL OUT NOW.
ALL RIGHT.

HAVE EITHER OF YOU
SEEN THE ADMIRAL?

HE WAS HERE
A FEW MINUTES AGO, SIR.
HE WENT THAT WAY.

THANKS.
CARRY ON.
RIGHT, SIR.

[ Rumbling ]

[ Creaking ]

WE MUST BE
SETTLING IN THE MUD.

FEELS TO ME LIKE
WE'RE BREAKING UP.

[ Crane ]
KOWALSKI! PATTERSON!

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, SIR?

[ Coughing ]
THANKS-- THANKS, LEE.

YOU'LL BE OKAY.
NO. I'M--
I'M ALL RIGHT NOW.

YOU BETTER TAKE IT EASY.
I'M ALL RIGHT.

I TELL YOU, I'M ALL RIGHT.

THE FIRST THING WE NEED
IS A COMPLETE RUNDOWN
ON THE SITUATION.

HAVE YOU GOT IT?
NOT YET.

WITH THE INTERCOM OUT,
IT'S SLOW WORK.

SIR, ABOUT THE INTERCOM--
[ Crane ]
YES?

WE FOUND A SHORT
IN THE MAIN LINE.
THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE.

WELL, HOW LONG TO REPAIR?
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SPLICE IN
A NEW SECTION OF CABLE.

IT SHOULDN'T TAKE
MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES.

- THEN JUMP TO IT.
WE NEED THAT INTERCOM.
- AYE, SIR. COME ON, PAT.

LET'S GET INTO DRY CLOTHES
AND MEET IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
RIGHT.

CORRIDOR FOUR,
REPORT YOUR CONDITION.

SHORING COMPLETED
AT FRAME 40, SIR.

LOOKS TO ME LIKE
THE BULKHEAD'S GONNA HOLD.

VERY WELL. POST A MAN
TO WATCH THE BULKHEAD...

AND REPORT BACK HERE
AT THE CONTROL ROOM.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

THAT LEAVES
ONE MORE COMPARTMENT.

CREW'S QUARTERS AFT,
REPORT YOUR CONDITION.

[ Man On Speaker ]
CREW'S QUARTERS AFT.
TIGHT AND DRY, SIR.

VERY WELL. CARRY ON.
AYE, SIR.

WELL, YOU'VE GOT
THE WHOLE PICTURE, ADMIRAL.
MM-HMM.

NOT EXACTLY
A PRETTY ONE.

THREE COMPARTMENTS FLOODED,
INCLUDING THE ENGINE ROOM.

TWELVE MEN MISSING,
PRESUMED DEAD.
FOUR MEN INJURED.

THE BIG QUESTION IS STILL,
CAN WE GET OFF THE BOTTOM?

BOTH THE ENGINES
AND THE BALLAST TANK PUMPS
ARE OUT OF COMMISSION.

THE FIRST JOB IS TO GET
THOSE PUMPS WORKING FAST.

I'VE ALREADY GOT FULL CREWS
ON THE JOB, BUT IT COULD
TAKE THEM UNTIL MORNING.

DO WE HAVE THAT MUCH TIME?
WE HAVE NO MORE
THAN SIX HOURS OF AIR.

[ Exhales ]

SIX HOURS.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME.

IT'LL HAVE TO BE.

ANYTHING?
NO, SIR.

NOTHING BUT INTERFERENCE.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE
WE WERE BEING JAMMED.

[ Sighs ]
WHAT ABOUT THAT SUB
THAT RAMMED US?

EVEN IF THAT SUB
WERE RIGHT BESIDE US, SIR,

I COULDN'T MAKE CONTACT
THROUGH THIS INTERFERENCE.

- HOW MUCH LONGER
SHOULD I KEEP TRYING?
- UNTIL FURTHER ORDERS.

- WANT ME TO GET A MAN
TO RELIEVE YOU?
- NO, NO. I'M OKAY, MR. MORTON.

WE NEED EVERY HAND WE CAN SPARE
TO WORK ON THOSE BALLAST PUMPS.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

PATTERSON?

[ Sighs ]
NOTHING, SIR.
NOTHING BUT STATIC.

NO COMMUNICATION WITH THAT SUB?

NO, SIR.
IT'S THE SAME AS BEFORE.
WE CAN'T SEND OR RECEIVE.

- KEEP AT IT.
- AYE, SIR.

OH, MR. MORTON.
WHERE'S THE SKIPPER?

HE AND THE ADMIRAL
ARE MAKING A PERSONAL INSPECTION
OF THE ENTIRE SHIP.

WHAT ABOUT
THAT BALLAST PUMP DETAIL?

WE'VE STILL GOT
A LONG WAY TO GO, SIR.

STAY WITH IT.
AYE, SIR.

CHIEF. WHAT'S
THE PROGRESS DOWN THERE?

WE COULDN'T DO BETTER, SIR.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.

YES, SIR, I KNOW.
WE'RE WORKING
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

WE FOUND A JAMMED GEAR
IN THE STARBOARD TANKS.

WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING
UNTIL WE FREE IT, SIR.
WHERE IS THE JAMMED GEAR?

BETWEEN FRAMES 51 AND 53, SIR.

FIFTY-ONE AND 53?

WELL, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO GET TO ANY GEARS
AT THAT POINT.

YES, SIR, WE SURE FOUND
THAT OUT. WE SENT A MAN THROUGH
THE MAIN CIRCUIT TO REACH IT.

YOU LET A MAN
CRAWL THROUGH THERE?

YES, SIR, HE VOLUNTEERED.

WELL, HE KNOWS THERE ARE
HIGH-VOLTAGE WIRES
RUNNING THROUGH THERE?

YES. THE VOLUNTEER IS CLARK,
THE BEST ELECTRICIAN'S MATE
WE HAVE IN THE CREW, SIR.

- SHOW US WHERE HE'S WORKING.
- AYE, SIR. THIS WAY.

IN THERE, SIR.

NOPE.
NO, I CAN'T SEE HIM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WELL, CLARK'S TAKING
A BIG RISK.

BUT IT'S A JOB THAT HAS
TO BE DONE, OR EVERYBODY
ABOARD IS GONNA BE DEAD.

HOW LONG
HAS HE BEEN IN THERE?

A FEW MINUTES, SIR.

MM-HMM.
HE SHOULD'VE REACHED
THE VALVE BY NOW.

[ Electrical Crackling ]

[ Rumbling ]

SIR?
MM-HMM?

IT'S MUCH TOO LONG.
YEAH.

CLARK! CLARK!

NOTHING.

[ Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

- CLARK!
- HELP!

[ Electricity Crackling ]

CLARK!

CLARK!

CLARK!
I'M CAUGHT!
I'M CAUGHT!

I CAN'T GET OUT OF HERE!

CLARK!

CLARK!
[ Groans ]

WHERE ARE YOU?
HERE, SKIPPER!
DOWN HERE!

DOWN HERE, SKIPPER!
ALL RIGHT!

IT'S BREAKING MY ARM!

ALL RIGHT!
HOLD ON!

COME ON!
ALL RIGHT.
WATCH OUT.

OKAY, NOW WAIT.

[ Shouts ]

PULL!

A LITTLE MORE!
OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.
OKAY?

CAN YOU GET FORWARD
ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.

CLARK'S ARM ISN'T BROKEN,
SIR. DOC IS GIVING HIM...

SOME KIND OF TREATMENT
FOR THE LACERATIONS.

VERY GOOD, CHIEF.
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT
THE MAIN INDUCTION VALVE?

IT'S CRACKED. I SAW IT
WHEN I REACHED CLARK.

I WAS WONDERING
IF ANYTHING COULD BE
RIGGED UP TO REPLACE IT?

WELL, I-- I THINK SO.
GIVE ME THAT, UH, JOURNAL.

YES, SIR.
IT'S GONNA TAKE TIME,
BUT THERE'S NO HELP FOR THAT.

THE BALLAST TANKS WON'T WORK
WITHOUT THE INDUCTION VALVE.

CHIEF, I'M GONNA NEED
YOUR HELP WITH THIS.
YES, SIR.

I'LL BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM
IF YOU NEED ME, ADMIRAL.
RIGHT.

NOW, LET'S SEE
JUST HOW GOOD
YOUR MACHINISTS ARE, HMM?

YES, SIR.

LEVEL WITH ME, LEE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S PRETTY BAD.

UNLESS THOSE PUMPS CAN BE FIXED
WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO,
WE'LL BE OUT OF AIR.

AND 20 MINUTES AFTER THAT,

THERE WON'T BE A MAN
LEFT ALIVE ON THIS SHIP.

THAT'S NOT VERY PRETTY.

[ Sighs ]
WELL, THERE'S NOT MUCH LEFT
WE CAN DO BUT WAIT.

WHAT TIME DO YOU HAVE?

0600.
IT'S DAYLIGHT.

- OPEN THE COLLISION SCREEN.
- I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.

ENGINEERING WANTS THEM CLOSED
UNTIL THEY GET A FULL REPORT
ON THE HULL DAMAGE.

WELL, I GUESS THEY'RE RIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO FIND OUT THERE?
THE SUB THAT RAN INTO US.

THEY COULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED
THAT BLAST
ANY MORE THAN WE DID.

LET'S CHECK THE TV SCANNER.

IF THE OTHER SUB'S ANYWHERE
NEAR US, IT'LL PROBABLY
BE IN OUR FORWARD AREA.

START THE SWEEP THERE.

THERE IT IS.
IT'S BEEN CRUSHED.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN US
JUST AS WELL.

TRY THE PORT SECTOR.

- NOTHING.
- [ Sighs ]
TRY STARBOARD.

LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S THE SEA LAB
WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

THIS EXPLAINS A FEW THINGS.

YOU THINK WE WERE
DELIBERATELY SUNK?
IT'S POSSIBLE.

THE OTHER SUB WAS OBVIOUSLY
STATIONED AROUND HERE
BECAUSE OF THAT LAB.

WHAT'S THE LAB USED FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WHATEVER IT IS,

SOMEBODY'S GOING TO
A LOT OF TROUBLE
TO KEEP IT A SECRET.

PATTERSON,
THERE'S A DEEP SEA LAB
JUST OFF OUR STARBOARD BOW.

IT CAN'T BE MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YARDS AWAY.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN
RAISE THEM ON RADIO?
I'LL TRY, SIR.

THIS IS SEAVIEW CALLING.
S.S.R.N. SEAVIEW.

WE HAVE YOU IN VISUAL RANGE.

DO YOU READ ME?
REPEAT:

DO YOU READ ME?
[ Static On Speaker ]

WE'RE BEING JAMMED.

AYE, SIR.
THAT'S ALL WE CAN RECEIVE.

I IMAGINE THE SAME THING'S
HAPPENING TO OUR TRANSMISSION.

THE SEA LAB.
THE JAMMING COULD BE
COMING FROM THERE.

THERE'S NOT
MUCH DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

TAKE OVER. I WANNA
CHECK THIS OUT WITH THE ADMIRAL.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW. I THINK
I OUGHT TO INVESTIGATE IT.

WELL, SO DO I.
THAT'S OUR--
THAT'S OUR PRIMARY MISSION--

TO LOCATE THE SEA LAB AND
FIND OUT WHAT IT'S DOING THERE.

NOW, THERE'S JUST
ONE PROBLEM.

ARE THERE PEOPLE
IN THAT INSTALLATION,

OR IS THE JAMMING
DONE AUTOMATICALLY?

WELL, IF I HAD TO GUESS,
I'D SAY AUTOMATICALLY.

BUT, UH, THERE'S ONLY
ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

CHIEF?
SIR?

I'M TAKING OUT
A DIVING PARTY.

AT THIS DEPTH?
MMM.

WITH A SPECIAL HELIUM
MIXTURE IN OUR TANKS,
WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

THERE'LL BE THREE OF US.
GET THE NECESSARY GEAR.

AYE, SIR.

THEY PROBABLY HAVE
AN AIR SUPPLY
IN THE SEA LAB.

I WANT YOU TO TAP IT
SO WE CAN USE IT TO KEEP ALIVE
TILL WE FINISH REPAIRS.

WE'VE RIGGED THE AIR HOSE.
YOU CAN PICK IT UP
JUST OUTSIDE THE ESCAPE HATCH.

HOW MUCH HOSE DO WE HAVE?
2,500 FEET.

ALL RIGHT, FINE.
LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT?
[ Pounds Twice On Door ]

SEE IF
YOU CAN RAISE THEM.

AYE, SIR.
SEAVIEW TO DIVERS.

THIS IS SHARKEY.
CAN YOU READ ME, SKIPPER?
LOUD AND CLEAR, CHIEF.

WHAT'S THEIR SITUATION?
[ Sharkey ]
WHAT'S YOUR SITUATION, SIR?

[ Crane ] WE'VE GOT A CLEAR
VISUAL FIX ON THE SEA LAB,
AND WE'RE APPROACHING--

KOWALSKI, PATTERSON,
TURN AROUND! GET BACK!

CHIEF.

SKIPPER, WHERE ARE YOU?

CAN YOU STILL READ ME?
COME IN!
IT'S ALL AROUND US! IT'S NO--

WELL, NOW WE KNOW
WHAT THEY WERE DEVELOPING
AT THE SEA LAB.

ADMIRAL, THAT--
THAT THING ATE THEM.

SWALLOWED 'EM ALIVE
LIKE SO MANY FISH!

MMM.

THEY STILL GOT THE AIR HOSE.

WE CAN HOOK OUR END UP TO
THE WINCH AND DRAG 'EM BACK.
NO.

THE AIR HOSE
IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH.
IT'D JUST SNAP.

WHAT THE DEVIL IS THAT?
IT'S THE SKIPPER IN THERE.

PATTERSON
AND KOWALSKI TOO.

THAT THING
SWALLOWED THEM ALIVE.

[ Bellowing Softly ]

[ Kowalski ]
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHERE ARE WE?

[ Patterson ]
IT SWALLOWED US!
THAT CAN'T BE.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
[ Crane ]
NOW, TAKE IT EASY, KOWALSKI.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

[ Patterson ]
WHAT DO WE DO, SKIPPER,
CUT OUR WAY OUT?

[ Crane ]
THAT WON'T BE SO EASY.

SEAVIEW TO DIVERS.
SEAVIEW TO DIVERS.

SKIPPER, CAN YOU READ ME?

SKIPPER,
CAN YOU READ ME?

I-- I CAN'T GET
ANY ANSWER, SIR,
NOT EVEN STATIC.

THEY'RE ALL DEAD.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET.
[ Beeping ]

[ Morton ]
THAT'S THE VENTILATION ALARM.

[ Beeping Stops ]
WHAT'S THE VERDICT, SIR?

BAD. WE HAVE
LESS THAN AN HOUR LEFT.

UH, CHIEF?
SIR?

HOW MUCH AIR
DID THE DIVING PARTY
HAVE IN THEIR TANKS?

WHEN THEY LEFT HERE, SIR,
ENOUGH TO LAST THEM
FOR AN HOUR.

WELL, AT LEAST WE'LL, UH--

WE'LL ALL GO TOGETHER.

[ Bellowing ]

[ Crane ] STOW THE KNIVES.
[ Patterson ]
OKAY, SKIPPER.

BUT HOW DO
WE GET OUT OF HERE?

[ Kowalski ]
DO WE HAVE A CHANCE?

[ Crane ]
MAYBE. BUT NOT IN HERE.

THIS WAY. COME ON.
THIS WAY.

ADMIRAL, ENGINEERING JUST
MACHINED THIS INDUCTION VALVE...

ACCORDING TO THE SKETCH
YOU GAVE THEM.

THEY WANT YOU TO LOOK IT OVER
BEFORE THEY INSTALL IT.

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

WILL IT WORK, SIR?

IT SHOULD.

YEAH, YEAH, IT SHOULD.

TELL THEM TO GO AHEAD,
BUT BE CAREFUL INSTALLING IT.

THERE ARE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
ALL OVER THAT AREA.

ONE MORE FIRE,
WE USE UP THE LITTLE
OXYGEN WE HAVE REMAINING.

UNDERSTOOD?
AYE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, HURRY.
HURRY.

DO YOU THINK WE STILL
HAVE A CHANCE, SIR?

YEAH.
WE HAVE A FAIR ONE.

THERE'S STILL 40 MINUTES
OF AIR LEFT.

IF THE INDUCTION VALVE WORKS,
WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO BLOW BALLAST...

AND SURFACE BEFORE
AIR'S EXHAUSTED.

WHAT ABOUT THAT THING OUTSIDE?
I MEAN,
WE GET OFF THE BOTTOM,

IT'S LIABLE TO ATTACK US
THE SAME WAY
IT DID THE DIVING PARTY.

I'M AWARE OF THAT.

THAT'S WHY I WANT YOU TO LOAD
DECK MISSILES ONE AND FOUR...

AND STAND BY
READY TO FIRE.

DECK MISSILES, SIR?
IT COULD BLOW THAT THING
OUT THERE TO BITS.

[ Chuckles ]

THAT IS THE, UH,
THE GENERAL IDEA.

YEAH, WELL, WHAT ABOUT
THE SKIPPER AND THE OTHER TWO?
IT COULD KILL THEM TOO.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE CONVINCED
THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD.

YES, SIR, BUT--

WELL, THERE STILL IS A CHANCE,
YOU KNOW. I MEAN--

ISN'T THERE?

WILL YOU JUST LOAD THEM?

[ Kowalski ]
SKIPPER, IT'S GETTING WORSE
ALL THE TIME.

[ Crane ]
I'LL SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE
UP AHEAD.

[ Patterson ]
YOU WANT US WITH YOU?

NO. WAIT HERE.

WHATEVER HAPPENS,
DON'T MAKE A MOVE...

FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES,
EITHER ONE OF YOU,

UNLESS I SIGNAL.

EASY.

HAND ME THAT WRENCH,
WILL YOU, SIR?

BE CAREFUL.
DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

[ Panting ]
YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES, SIR.
I'M OKAY.

[ Alarm Blaring ]

[ Coughing ]

CHIP! CHIP!
COME ON!

[ Indistinct ]

SIT DOWN.

OXYGEN'S ALMOST GONE.

WE'VE HAD IT.

BREATHE SOME OF THIS.

BETTER?

NOW HEAR THIS, ALL HANDS.

OUR OXYGEN SUPPLY
IS DANGEROUSLY LOW.

SO NO MOVING AROUND...

AND NO TALKING.

CHIEF SHARKEY.

SHARKEY HERE.

CHIEF, THERE ARE OXYGEN TANKS...

IN THE DIVING GEAR LOCKER.

YOU'RE AUTHORIZED TO USE THEM
TO STAY ON YOUR FEET.

ME, SIR?

WHAT ABOUT THE MEN?

IF WE'RE GOING
TO SAVE THIS SHIP,

THREE OF US
WILL HAVE TO REMAIN CONSCIOUS.

THAT'S YOU,
MR. MORTON, MYSELF.

YOU'RE TO STAND BY
THE MISSILE FIRING SYSTEM.

CARRY ON.
AYE, SIR.

CIRCUITRY ROOM.
[ Man ]
CIRCUITRY ROOM, AYE.

THIS IS THE ADMIRAL.

ADVISE ME IMMEDIATELY
WHEN THE FIRE'S OUT...

AND YOU'VE BEEN ABLE
TO INSTALL THE VALVE.

AYE, SIR.

THE WALLS SEEM THINNER
UP AHEAD.

NOW, WE'LL TRY TO CUT
OUR WAY THROUGH THERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?
MY FOOT!
I CAN'T GET IT LOOSE!

MAYBE THE ULTRASONIC GUN.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
I'LL HAVE TO USE
SOMETHING ELSE.

TRY TO FORCE
A REACTION.

BUT, SIR, YOU SAID--
IT'S THAT OR
LET YOU DIE RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT.
BRACE YOURSELVES.

THE PAIN'S APT TO MAKE HIM
DO SOME VIOLENT THINGS.
[ Gun Whirring ]

[ Bellowing ]

[ Man On Speaker ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS
THE CIRCUITRY ROOM.

THE FIRE'S UNDER CONTROL,
AND THE NEW VALVE IS INSTALLED.

STAND BY.
WE'RE GOING UP.
AYE, SIR.

NOW.

LET'S SEE IF
THAT NEW VALVE WORKS.

[ Rumbling ]

WE CAN MAKE IT.
WE'RE GOING UP.

OPEN COLLISION SCREENS.

CHIEF, STAND BY
TO FIRE DECK MISSILES
ONE AND FOUR.

IF LEE'S STILL INSIDE
THAT CREATURE ALIVE--

YOU THINK
I DON'T KNOW THAT?
STAND BY TO FIRE.

ADMIRAL, WHAT ABOUT
THE DIVING PARTY?
IF WE FIRE NOW--

STAND BY TO FIRE!

WE'RE HEADED
STRAIGHT AT IT.

MM-HMM.
CLOSE COLLISION SCREENS.

FIRE ONE.

I SAID, "FIRE ONE."

ADMIRAL, THE AIR HOSE.

"THE AIR HOSE."
WHAT-- WHAT THE DEVIL
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WE GOT ONE END DOWN HERE.
THEY GOT THE OTHER END
INSIDE THAT CREATURE.

ISN'T-- ISN'T THERE
SOMETHING WE CAN
PUMP THROUGH TO THEM?

SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP
THOSE DIVERS GET OUT OF THERE?

IF WE COULD PUMP AIR
THROUGH THE HOSE,

IT MIGHT IRRITATE THE CREATURE
ENOUGH TO EXPEL THE DIVERS.

WE COULD ATTACH IT
TO THE AIR REVITALIZING PUMP.

WE'RE ABOUT OUT OF AIR NOW.
THAT WOULD USE UP
THE LAST OF IT.

CHIEF, ATTACH THE HOSE TO
THE AIR REVITALIZING PUMP.
AYE, SIR.

SET THE CONTROLS ON AUTOMATIC.
WE'LL WATCH IT ON SONAR.

IT'S TOO LATE, SIR.
WE'VE GOT TO FIRE.
ADMIRAL, IT'S DONE.

WE'RE PUMPING THE AIR.

VERY WELL.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
THIS HAD BETTER WORK.

NOTHING SO FAR.
CHIEF, ARE YOU STILL
PUMPING AIR?

AYE, SIR.
STILL PUMPING.

I DON'T KNOW, SIR,
BUT--

WAIT A MINUTE.

LOOK.
THOSE-- THOSE BLIPS.

IT'S THE DIVING PARTY.
THEY'RE OUT!

DIVING PARTY BACK ABOARD, SIR.
[ Nelson ]
STAND BY TO FIRE MISSILES.

AYE, SIR.
STANDING BY.

FIRE ONE.

WELL, THE MISSILES KILLED IT.
IT'S TOO BAD WE HAD TO DESTROY
THE SEA LAB IN THE PROCESS.

NOW I SUPPOSE WE'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT THEY WERE UP TO DOWN THERE.
IT'S EASY ENOUGH TO GUESS.

THEY WERE PROBABLY WORKING
ON SOME NEW STRAIN OF
A PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR.

SOMEHOW, THE EXPERIMENT
GOT AWAY FROM THEM
AND PRODUCED THIS MONSTROSITY.

BUT THAT'S ONLY A GUESS.
WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

WELL, I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
UNTIL YOU PICKED US UP
OUT OF THE WATER,

I NEVER EXPECTED
TO KNOW ANYTHING AGAIN.

[ Chuckles ]
NO. NEITHER DID ANYONE ELSE.
