Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968): Season 3, Episode 5 - The Terrible Toys - full transcript
An old man, adrift at sea, is rescued along with a sack of toys by the Seaview. The toys take on a life of their own and begin to sabotage the ship. The toys appear to be connected to an alien space ship lying on the ocean floor.
CAPTAIN.
WE'RE GETTING
A WEIRD BLIP FROM RADAR.
ALTITUDE: 10,000 FEET.
SPEED: MACH 32.5.
IT'S WAVERING. IT'S PITCHING
STRAIGHT DOWN NOW.
WHAT'S THE RANGE,
LEE?
THREE MILES.
SIXTEEN DEGREES OFF
OUR PORT BOW NOW.
THE BLIP'S GONE. IT MUST'VE
CRASHED INTO THE OCEAN.
WE'RE IN FOR
A NASTY JOLT.
ALL HANDS, STAND BY
FOR SEVERE SHOCK WAVE.
ALL RIGHT,
BRACE YOURSELVES.
HERE IT COMES.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.
[ Man ] ROUGH, SIR, BUT NOT
ENOUGH TO DO US ANY REAL DAMAGE.
ALL HANDS, SECURE STATIONS.
ENGINE ROOM, FULL POWER.
CHANGE AZIMUTH HEADING
16 DEGREES TO PORT.
AYE, SIR.
YOU SEE ANYTHING, LEE?
NO, NOTHING.
YES.
BLOW TANKS.
ALL ENGINES, STOP.
READY SURFACE RESCUE PARTY!
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
THERE'S NO SIGN
OF ANYTHING ELSE.
NO WRECKAGE.
LET'S SEE IF
THAT MAN ON THE RAFT
CAN GIVE US ANY ANSWERS.
THERE ARE
NO OTHER SURVIVORS?
NONE.
AND NOTHING ELSE, SIR.
JUST THIS BURLAP BAG.
UH-HUH. WELL, STOW THAT IN ONE
OF THE LOCKERS FOR NOW.
AYE, SIR.
HE SWALLOWED QUITE
A BIT OF THE INDIAN OCEAN,
BUT HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
GOOD. I'LL BE
IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
LET ME KNOW WHEN HE COMES TO.
HE MIGHT HAVE SEEN SOMETHING
THAT'LL INTEREST US.
[ Object Banging ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,
DAVID HEDISON.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
LOCKER ROOM.
CHECK ON IT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
GORDON!
[ Klaxon Continues Blaring ]
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
CAN'T TELL YOU, SIR.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU.
WE FOUND HIM JUST LIKE THIS.
YOU NOTIFIED SICK BAY?
AYE, SIR.
NO MARKS OF ANY KIND.
NO SIGNS OF VIOLENCE.
- LOOKS LIKE HE JUST
KEELED OVER.
- THERE HAS TO BE A REASON.
TOYS. WATCH OUT FOR THE...
WATCH OUT FOR THE TOYS.
WHAT'D HE SAY?
PROBABLY IRRATIONAL.
HIS PULSE IS FAIRLY STRONG,
BUT VERY ERRATIC.
WHICH MEANS?
I DON'T KNOW. FIRST THING IS
TO GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
GOTTA... GOTTA WATCH OUT
FOR THE... TOYS.
ADMIRAL. LARGE OBJECT
TWO MILES DEAD AHEAD.
AT 40 FATHOMS.
RIGHT THERE.
THAT HAS TO BE
WHAT HIT THE WATER.
IT HIT THE OCEAN WITH AN AWFUL
WALLOP. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
BROKEN UP COMPLETELY.
BUT IT'S JUST
FLOATING OUT THERE
AS SMOOTH AS A NEW DOORKNOB.
CHIEF, CAN YOU GET A READING
ON THE SPECTRO-ANALYZER?
WE'VE PROGRAMMED THROUGH
THE ENTIRE ATOMIC RANGE.
NOTHING.
[ Sighs ]
AND WE HAVE NO WAY
OF KNOWING WHAT
WE'RE UP AGAINST.
LET'S APPROACH THIS THING
WITH A LITTLE CAUTION.
YEAH, RIGHT.
MEANWHILE, I'LL TRY TO
HAVE A TALK WITH THAT MAN
WE PULLED OUT OF THE WATER.
ALL STOP.
MAINTAIN NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
PERISCOPE DEPTH.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
HIS NAME IS SAM BURKE.
AND HE'S A VERY LUCKY MAN.
HE'S ALMOST AS GOOD AS NEW.
I NEVER FELT BETTER
IN MY LIFE.
HOWDY, ADMIRAL.
IT'S A GOOD THING YOU CAME
ALONG, OR I'D HAVE BEEN A GONER
FOR SURE. I WANNA THANK YA.
IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOU, BURKE.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D LIKE
TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.
ANYTHING, ADMIRAL.
ANYTHING AT ALL.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I'LL GET BACK TO KOWALSKI.
[ Nelson ]
OH, HOW IS HE?
NO CHANGE.
HE'S STILL INCOHERENT,
STILL MUMBLING ABOUT TOYS.
[ Burke ] NO, SIR, ADMIRAL.
I'VE BEEN KNOCKING AROUND
THESE ISLANDS FOR 20 YEARS,
AND I AIN'T NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE.
[ Nelson ]
WELL, JUST WHAT DID YOU SEE?
WELL, I DIDN'T SEE VERY MUCH.
I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME
TO BE SCARED. I, UH...
I HEARD THIS CRAZY WHININ' NOISE
SUDDEN-LIKE, AND THEN GOT
A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WAS DOIN' IT.
UP IN THE SKY IT WAS.
BRIGHT AND FAST...
AND MOVIN' AROUND LIKE
SOMEBODY WAS DRIVIN' IT.
AND THEN IT HIT THE WATER
LIKE YOU CAN'T BELIEVE...
ABOUT 1,000 YARDS FROM MY SHIP.
THAT'S ALL I REMEMBERED, UNTIL
I WOKE UP HERE AND FOUND YOUR
GOOD DOCTOR BENDIN' OVER ME.
UH, YOU WERE ALONE?
YEAH, YEAH. WELL, EXCEPT
FOR A FEW RATS IN THE BILGE.
DON'T THINK I AIN'T GRATEFUL
TO BE ALIVE, ADMIRAL.
BUT, WELL, IT IS KINDA
HARD THINKIN'...
THAT EVERY BLESSED THING
I OWNED WENT DOWN
WITH MY SHIP.
WELL, NOT QUITE. WE, UH, FOUND
A BURLAP BAG. ONE OF MY MEN
PUT IT AWAY FOR YOU.
OF ALL THE THINGS TO SAVE.
JUST A LOT OF CHEAP STUFF...
I PICKED UP TO TRADE
WITH THE NATIVES.
I'LL SEE THAT
YOU'RE ASSIGNED A CABIN.
OH, BY THE WAY, WE'VE GOT
A FIX ON THAT OBJECT
THAT SANK YOUR BOAT.
I'M GOING TO HAVE
A LOOK AT IT NOW.
CAN I SEE IT TOO?
THAT THING SANK MY SHIP,
AND I GOT A SCORE
TO SETTLE WITH IT.
ALL RIGHT, MR. BURKE.
COME ALONG.
IT HASN'T BUDGED.
NOT SO MUCH AS AN INCH.
LEE, CHIP, THIS IS SAM BURKE.
HE SIGHTED THAT THING,
WHATEVER IT WAS.
NOT VERY MUCH, BUT ENOUGH
TO SUGGEST IT COULD BE THE WORK
OF INTELLIGENT CREATURES.
WELL, I... I SURE FIGURED
SOMETHIN' WAS STEERIN' IT.
AND YOU CAN BET
YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR IT WAS LIKE
NO AIRPLANE YOU EVER SEEN.
[ Nelson ]
IT MIGHT'VE COME
FROM OUTER SPACE.
NOTHING ON EARTH COULD HAVE
MANEUVERED AT THAT SPEED.
OR SURVIVED THE
TREMENDOUS IMPACT IT MADE
WHEN IT HIT THE WATER.
- RIGHT.
- LET'S GO DOWN
AND HAVE A LOOK AT IT.
GET THE REMOTE CAMERAS READY
AND THE EMISSION DETECTOR.
LET'S SEE IF THERE'S
ANY POSSIBLE RADIATION.
COME WITH ME, MR. BURKE.
MAYBE WE CAN SPOT IT
FROM THE OBSERVATION NOSE.
ENGINE ROOM, DEAD SLOW.
TAKE HER DOWN TO 30 FATHOMS.
[ Man On Speaker ]
DEAD SLOW. DOWN 30 FATHOMS.
AYE, SIR.
I'VE GOTTA MAKE THEM LISTEN.
[ Panting ]
[ Grunting ]
I'VE GOTTA TELL THEM
ABOUT THOSE TOYS.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
CAPTAIN, CAN I
SEE YOU A MINUTE?
WHAT IS IT?
TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS READING.
THAT THING UP AHEAD
IS RADIATING POWER.
YES.
IT'S ON
AN UNUSUAL FREQUENCY.
NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S BEEN
TRACKING US TOO, LIKE SOME
KIND OF ELECTRONIC PROBE.
I'M GOING TO HOLD HERE,
ADMIRAL.
AT LEAST UNTIL
WE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.
WHY?
[ Crane ]
THAT OBJECT SEEMS TO BE
TRACKING OUR COURSE.
WHAT'D I TELL YOU, ADMIRAL?
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING
ALIVE IN THERE TO DO THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
WE BETTER HOLD.
ALL STOP.
MAINTAIN NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
[ Man On Speaker ]
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
AYE, SIR.
IF THERE IS INTELLIGENT
LIFE ABOARD,
I, UH... I WONDER
WHAT IT'S LIKE.
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU
ONE THING, ADMIRAL.
WHATEVER THAT THING IS
THAT SMASHED MY SHIP,
IT WON'T HAVE NO INTELLIGENCE
WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH IT.
[ Chuckles ]
WE MAY BE TOO FAR OFF
TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT.
WELL, BEFORE WE GET
ANY CLOSER, I BETTER
CHECK IT OUT.
WHY WASTE YOUR TIME, CAPTAIN?
I ALREADY TOLD YA IT AIN'T SAFE.
LOOK WHAT IT DONE TO ME.
SAY, YOU... YOU GOT
A MIGHTY POWERFUL CRAFT HERE,
WHAT I'VE SEEN OF IT.
I SAY, LET'S MOVE IN
AND BLAST 'EM GOOD.
WELL, IF IT TURNS OUT
TO BE HOSTILE, MR. BURKE,
WE BETTER STAY OUT OF RANGE.
LET'S SEE IF THE CAMERAS
CAN PICK IT UP.
ACTIVATE NOSE
AND SAIL CAMERAS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
THAT'S IT!
THAT'S THE THING I SAW
THAT SUNK MY SHIP.
SPARKS, THERE'S SOME KIND OF
UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT DEAD AHEAD.
TRY TO ESTABLISH RADIO CONTACT.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[ On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.
ANYTHING, SPARKS?
I'VE JUST LOCKED ON
TO SOMETHING, ADMIRAL.
[ Garbled Voices ]
THE DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA'S
POINTED RIGHT AT THAT THING.
IT'S GOTTA BE COMING FROM IT.
THE SOUND IS GARBLED.
WE SHOULD BE CLOSER,
MUCH CLOSER.
LEE, WE'RE GETTING
A GARBLED SIGNAL
FROM THAT OBJECT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT MOVING IN
A LITTLE CLOSER?
IT'S TOO RISKY, ADMIRAL.
WE HAVEN'T FINISHED
CHECKING IT OUT YET.
[ Garbled Voices Continue ]
[ Monitor Beeping ]
WE'RE GETTING
A FLUCTUATION ON THE
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DIAL.
BETTER GET A REPLACEMENT
CARTRIDGE FROM STORES.
[ Loud Banging ]
ENGINE ROOM, ALL STOP.
[ Banging ]
WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?
[ Patterson ]
THE CONTROLS MALFUNCTIONED.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
BUT WE'RE OKAY NOW.
LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THAT THING!
[ Force Field Humming ]
[ Humming Continues ]
FULL ASTERN! FULL ASTERN!
ACTIVATE COLLISION SCREEN!
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
WE'RE CAUGHT IN A FORCE RAY.
IT'S PULLING US TOWARD IT.
ARE WE HOLDING?
AFRAID NOT.
THAT THING HAS MORE MUSCLE
THAN WE'VE GOT.
WE'VE SLOWED DOWN, BUT WE'RE
STILL BEING DRAGGED TOWARD IT.
STAND BY TO OPEN
COLLISION SCREEN.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
NO MORE
THAN THREE INCHES.
AYE, AYE.
ADMIRAL, MR. BURKE,
YOU BETTER TURN YOUR BACKS.
I'M GONNA TRY TO SEE
WHERE THAT FORCE FIELD'S
COMING FROM.
ACTIVATE!
CLOSE COLLISION DOORS!
ANYTHING?
NOTHING BUT
THE FORCE FIELD ITSELF.
MAYBE WE CAN NEUTRALIZE IT
WITH OUR OWN FORCE FIELD.
ENERGIZE THE MAGNETIC
FORCE FIELD.
[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.
[ Force Field Humming ]
THAT DID IT, SIR.
WE'RE HOLDING.
[ Force Field Humming ]
WE'VE GAINED A BREATHER,
BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL.
OUR FULL-REVERSE THRUST
AND THE FORCE FIELD...
ARE EXACTLY
MATCHING THE POWER
OF THAT FORCE RAY!
WELL, NOW, I'D SAY THAT
AIN'T EXACTLY GOOD ENOUGH,
ADMIRAL.
AIN'T YOU GOT ANY TORPEDOES
OR BOMBS ABOARD THIS CRAFT?
YES, WE HAVE, BUT WE CAN'T
FIRE THEM NOW WITHOUT GETTING
THE BACKLASH OF THE EXPLOSION.
FIRST WE'RE TOO FAR. THEN
WE'RE TOO CLOSE. I'D LIKE TO GET
MY HANDS ON THEM CRITTERS.
I COULD PUT AN END TO THIS.
I'M AFRAID IT'S GONNA TAKE
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.
- LEE, WE BETTER SEE HOW
WE'RE STANDING THE STRESS.
- RIGHT, SIR.
EVERY RIVET AND WELD
IN THE HULL IS UNDER
TERRIFIC STRAIN.
ASSIGN EVERY AVAILABLE MAN
TO DAMAGE CONTROL PARTIES.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
WE CAN'T TAKE MUCH OF THIS
WITHOUT SPRINGING LEAKS.
LET'S HOPE THAT'S ALL THAT
HAPPENS. WE'RE EXCEEDING STRESS
BEYOND DESIGN LIMITATIONS.
A LITTLE MORE
COULD TEAR SEAVIEW APART.
THE FLYING SUB HAS MORE POWER
FOR ITS SIZE AND WEIGHT
THAN SEAVIEW.
[ Chuckles ]
IT'S MARGINAL, BUT I BELIEVE
IT CAN ESCAPE THAT FORCE RAY.
- USE THE FLYING SUB AS A DECOY?
- THAT'S RIGHT.
I'LL BE FLYING OUT IN IT.
IF THEY TURN THE BEAM ON ME,
IT'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO GET SEAVIEW OUT OF RANGE.
THAT'S IF YOU CAN ESCAPE
THE FORCE RAY YOURSELF.
DAMAGE CONTROL,
OVER HERE!
CHIP, PREPARE THE FLYING SUB
FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH.
AYE, SIR.
LET ME ASSIGN A MAN
TO GO WITH YOU.
NO. YOU'LL NEED EVERY MAN
YOU'VE GOT TO CONTROL
THE SITUATION HERE.
YES, BUT IF YOU LOSE POWER,
YOU MIGHT NEED HELP
WITH MANUAL CONTROLS.
SO HOW 'BOUT ME?
NOW, I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT
THESE FANCY-DAN SUBMARINES,
BUT, WELL, I GOT
A COUPLE OF STRONG ARMS.
AND BESIDES, I GOT A SCORE
TO SETTLE WITH THEM MONKEYS,
OR WHATEVER THEY ARE.
ALL RIGHT, MR. BURKE.
GREEN LIGHT ON ALL SYSTEMS,
ADMIRAL.
GOOD.
LET'S GO.
[ Force Field Humming ]
COME ON. BUCKLE
YOURSELF IN.
YOU BETTER WEAR THESE.
ONCE WE DROP AWAY
FROM SEAVIEW,
YOU'LL BE IN THE GLARE
OF THAT FORCE RAY.
ALL INSTRUMENTATION GREEN,
READY FOR LAUNCH.
ROGER.
PREPARED FOR LAUNCH.
- MR. BURKE.
- I'M AS READY AS I'LL EVER BE.
- I AIN'T USED
TO THESE CONTRAPTIONS.
- WELL, YOU SOON WILL BE.
LAUNCH.
THEY'RE AWAY.
LET'S GET THEM
ON THE MONITOR.
IT'S... IT'S JUST SITTIN'
OUT THERE, ADMIRAL.
KINDA LOCKED IN WITH
THAT LIGHT ON THE SEAVIEW.
YOU THINK MAYBE
THEY AIN'T SEEN US YET?
EITHER THAT,
OR THEY'RE NOT BEING
FOOLED BY OUR MANEUVER.
I'M GOING IN CLOSER.
[ Patterson ] THIS IS THE
ENGINE ROOM, SKIPPER. URGENT.
GO AHEAD.
THIS TUG-OF-WAR IS MAKING
OUR REACTORS OVERHEAT.
YOU'VE GOT TO HOLD FULL REVERSE.
WE'RE JUST BARELY OFFSETTING
THE FORCE RAY.
WE'VE SPRUNG
A STEAM LEAK HERE, SKIPPER!
- SEND A DAMAGE CONTROL PARTY!
- ALL RIGHT, YOU'LL HAVE 'EM.
DAMAGE CONTROL, LAY AFT TO
ENGINE ROOM, ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
FLYING SUB TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME, LEE?
WE READ YOU, ADMIRAL.
NO LUCK YET.
AND I DON'T DARE
GET ANY CLOSER.
I'M GOING TO APPROACH FROM
THE SIDE, ON THE CHANCE
THEY WON'T SEE ME.
AND I'LL TRY TO HIT IT
WITH A LASER BEAM.
[ Crane ] ALL RIGHT, ADMIRAL.
[ Loud Banging ]
LEE, IT WORKED!
THEY'VE TURNED THE BEAM ON ME!
GET THE SEAVIEW OUT OF THERE!
IT DIDN'T WORK, ADMIRAL!
THEY'VE TURNED
ANOTHER RAY ON YOU!
WE'RE... WE'RE TRAPPED!
THEY GOT US NOW TOO!
NOT YET. WE MAY HAVE
MORE POWER THAN THEY DO.
HE'S MAKING IT BACK, CHIP.
MAKE SURE THE MOORING LOCKS
ARE OPEN FOR HIM.
[ Loud Banging ]
LEE!
WE'VE LOST CONTROL!
THE FORCE RAY'S PULLING US
TOWARD THE SHIP!
IT'S GONNA CRASH
RIGHT INTO THAT THING!
THEY HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE!
IT'S... IT'S GONE.
IT'S NOT GONE, CHIP.
IT PASSED RIGHT THROUGH
THE STRUCTURE OF THAT THING.
ADMIRAL. ADMIRAL,
DO YOU READ ME?
COME IN!
[ Loud Banging ]
SKIPPER! THAT SOUND,
IT'S SHORTING
THE REACTOR CIRCUITS.
THEY'LL REACH CRITICAL MASS!
THEY'RE ALREADY
BADLY OVERHEATED!
EMERGENCY, ALL HANDS!
THAT SOUND'S COMING
FROM INSIDE THE SHIP!
WE'VE GOTTA
FIND IT AND DESTROY IT
BEFORE IT DESTROYS US!
[ Loud Drumming Continues ]
[ Force Field Humming ]
[ Loud Drumming Continues ]
[ Panting, Laughing ]
THAT WAS A ROUGH GO,
SKIPPER.
ANYBODY REPORT FINDING ANYTHING?
NO, SIR.
IT JUST STOPPED.
SHOOK US UP QUITE A BIT.
THERE'S A LOT OF DAMAGE.
KEEP THE REPAIR CREWS AT IT.
THEY CAN'T LET UP.
AND THERE'S MORE COMING...
IF WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO KILL THAT FORCE RAY.
[ Patterson ]
ENGINE ROOM, SKIPPER.
I'VE MANAGED TO STABILIZE
THE REACTORS, BUT I CAN'T
CONTROL THE OVERHEATING.
- HOW LONG WILL IT HOLD?
- AT FULL-REVERSE THRUST?
THIRTY MINUTES, MAYBE,
IF WE'RE LUCKY.
IF NOT,
THEY CAN BLOW ANY TIME.
WITHOUT THE ENGINES,
THE MAGNETIC FORCE SHIELD
WON'T BE ENOUGH.
WE'LL BE DRAGGED
INTO THAT THING OUT THERE!
WE HAVE TO PULL LOOSE
AND GET AWAY IF WE WANNA
RESCUE THE ADMIRAL.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
SOMETHIN' TELLS ME
WE... WE BIT OFF MORE THAN
WE CAN CHEW, ADMIRAL.
NO DOORS, NO NOTHIN', BUT WE
WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE HULL
OF THIS CONTRAPTION!
WHERE ARE WE ANYWAY?
IN SOME KIND OF
AN AIR LOCK.
WHOEVER OR WHATEVER
THEY ARE,
THEY'VE DISCOVERED THE SECRET
OF MOLECULAR SOLUBILITY.
[ Clicking Switches ]
THE TEST OF THE OUTSIDE
ATMOSPHERE SHOWS
WE CAN OPEN THE HATCH.
THERE'S BREATHABLE AIR
OUT THERE, BUT IT'S...
IT'S COLD. VERY COLD.
BUT YOU... YOU AIN'T
FIGURIN' ON GETTIN' OUT?
WELL, WE CAN'T JUST SIT HERE.
I'M GOING OUT TO HAVE
A LOOK AROUND.
SEE IF WE CAN COMMUNICATE
SOMEHOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THOUGHT I WANTED TO HAVE
IT OUT WITH THESE RASCALS,
BUT, UH, I GUESS
I WAS JUST SPOUTIN' OFF.
HOW CAN YOU FIGHT SOMETHIN'
LIKE THIS?
MAYBE... MAYBE I BETTER
JUST STAY HERE ON BOARD...
AND KINDA GUARD THINGS
IN CASE THEY TRY
TO PULL SOMETHING.
YOU CAN DO MORE THAN THAT.
YOU CAN TRY TO SPLICE
THAT CONTROL CABLE.
IF IT HADN'T SNAPPED,
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
WE'RE GONNA NEED IT
IF WE GET A CHANCE
TO ESCAPE.
ALL RIGHT?
OKAY.
[ Wind Howling ]
HELLO?
HELLO!
I... I'M HERE AS A FRIEND.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
YOU'RE DESTROYING MY SHIP.
MAYBE IT'S UNINTENTIONAL,
BUT... BUT...
COULDN'T WE...
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME,
COULDN'T... COULDN'T WE TALK
TOGETHER PEACEFULLY?
[ Man ]
YOU NEED NOT FEAR.
YOU NEED NOT FEAR,
ADMIRAL NELSON.
NO HARM WILL BEFALL YOU.
YOU KNOW WHO I AM.
WE ON THIS SHIP
KNOW EVERYTHING.
WELL, I'M LISTENING.
THIS SPACECRAFT
WAS FORCED DOWN...
WHEN ITS NUCLEAR FUEL
BECAME CONTAMINATED
AND HAD TO BE JETTISONED.
WE HAVE NONE LEFT.
THEN YOUR RADIATION DETECTORS
TOLD YOU THAT SEAVIEW
IS NUCLEAR-POWERED.
CORRECT, ADMIRAL.
THAT IS WHY WE TURNED
THE FORCE RAY ON YOU.
ALL WE WANT IS A PORTION
OF YOUR NUCLEAR FUEL.
IF YOU WILL GIVE IT TO US,
YOU WILL BE ALLOWED
TO GO IN PEACE.
THAT SOUNDS
REASONABLE ENOUGH.
WE ARE REASONABLE BEINGS,
ADMIRAL.
WE WISH YOU NO HARM.
BUT WE WILL DESTROY YOU
IF WE HAVE TO...
TO OBTAIN THE FUEL.
- I'D HAVE TO RETURN
TO SEAVIEW.
- YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO GO...
IF I HAVE YOUR WORD THAT
YOU WILL DO AS WE REQUEST.
IN RETURN, DO I HAVE YOUR WORD
THAT YOU'LL RELEASE US
WHEN I GIVE YOU THE FUEL?
YOU HAVE.
GO IN PEACE.
[ Man's Voice ]
THIS NELSON,
FOR AN EARTHLING,
HE SEEMS TO
BE MOST INTELLIGENT.
BEFORE WE RELEASE HIM,
DO YOU THINK HE REALLY
BELIEVED OUR STORY
OF NEEDING NUCLEAR FUEL?
WHY NOT?
TO HIM, NUCLEAR ENGINES...
ARE THE MOST ADVANCED FORM
OF CONTROLLED ENERGY.
HOW COULD HE GUESS
THAT OUR ENGINES
USE THE METAL TITANIUM?
THE GALAXY GODS
HAVE SMILED ON US.
NOWHERE ELSE
ON THIS BURNING PLANET
COULD WE HAVE FOUND...
SUCH A READY SUPPLY
OF PURE TITANIUM
AS IN THAT SUBMARINE.
EVEN SO, THE HULL
OF THE SEAVIEW CONTAINS
BARELY ENOUGH METAL...
TO REPLENISH OUR SUPPLY.
OUR ATOMIC REDUCERS WILL
DISINTEGRATE THE SEAVIEW
AS SOON AS IT COMES ALONGSIDE.
HAS THAT OTHER CREATURE BURKE
COMPLETED THE REPAIRS?
HE HAS.
THEN RELEASE NELSON.
[ Hatch Lock Cranking ]
HEY, ADMIRAL, I WAS
GETTIN' WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
- DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?
- THERE'S NO TIME
FOR THAT NOW, BURKE.
WE'RE BEING RELEASED.
IF YOU'VE GOT THAT CABLE FIXED,
WE CAN GET BACK TO SEAVIEW.
HEY, THAT'S GREAT.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY.
JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE OF MORE
MINUTES. I'LL HAVE THIS CABLE
GOOD AS NEW.
[ Force Field Humming ]
YOU'RE SURE THIS WAS
MAKING ALL THAT NOISE?
I KNOW IT WAS, SKIPPER.
THE MINUTE I FOUND IT IN HERE
AND BROKE IT UP WITH THAT BAR,
THE SOUND WAS GONE.
HOW COULD SUCH A LITTLE TOY
CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE?
I WARNED YOU ABOUT
THOSE THINGS, SIR.
I TOLD YOU THEY WERE DANGEROUS.
[ Sighs ]
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW THEY DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
MAYBE THAT GUY WE PULLED OUT
OF THE OCEAN COULD TELL US.
THEY BELONG TO HIM.
YES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
HE'S IN THE FLYING SUB
WITH THE ADMIRAL RIGHT NOW.
WE'LL QUESTION HIM
WHEN HE COMES BACK.
MEANWHILE, YOU'D BETTER GET
A CHECKOUT FROM THE DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ME
I'M WORRIED ABOUT, SIR.
BUT IF THAT GUY IS OUT
IN THE FLYING SUB
WITH THE ADMIRAL,
MAYBE THE ADMIRAL'S THE ONE
WE GOTTA BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
I WAS THINKING
THE SAME THING.
CARRY ON.
NO WORD FROM THE ADMIRAL?
NOTHING, SIR.
SKIPPER, WE'RE SPRINGING
MORE LEAKS ALL THE TIME.
- AND THE REPAIR PARTIES
CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM.
- [ Sighs ]
LOOK, LOAD ALL
THE FORWARD TORPEDO TUBES
WITH UNARMED MISSILES.
WE'LL FIRE THEM
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
NOW, THE COMBINED RECOIL...
MIGHT GIVE US ENOUGH BACKWARD
THRUST TO SPRING US LOOSE.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
OH, SIR.
WHAT ABOUT THE ADMIRAL?
IF WE CAN GET BEYOND
THE RANGE OF THAT FORCE RAY,
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP HIM.
I'LL HAVE THE FORWARD TORPEDO
TUBES LOADED IMMEDIATELY.
RIGHT.
ALL FORWARD TUBES
READY AND LOADED, SKIPPER.
FULL PROPELLANT CHARGE?
I TOPPED THEM OFF
WITH AN EXTRA 4,000 P.S.I.
- WHEN THEY LET GO, THEY'RE
GONNA SLAP US REAL HARD.
- YOU BETTER HOPE THEY DO.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE
TO BREAK LOOSE.
NUMBER FIVE BULKHEAD'S
BEYOND STRESS LIMITS.
IF IT GOES, WE'LL BE FLOODED!
ALL HANDS!
IN 30 SECONDS,
WE'RE GOING TO FIRE
ALL FORWARD TORPEDO TUBES
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN KICKED
BY A SHOTGUN, YOU'LL KNOW
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
ALL RIGHT, CHIEF,
START THE COUNTDOWN.
SET FOR, UH, 20 SECONDS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
YOU KNOW,
THOSE FISH ARE GONNA PACK
A WALLOP, EVEN WITHOUT
THE WARHEADS.
AT THIS RANGE, THEY MIGHT PLOW
RIGHT INTO THAT THING
OUT THERE.
AND ADMIRAL NELSON IS STILL...
DON'T YOU THINK I HAVEN'T
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?
- NOW YOU'VE GOT YOUR ORDERS.
THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.
- AYE, AYE, SKIPPER.
MISSILE ROOM.
ALL FORWARD TORPEDO TUBES
ON AUTOMATIC COUNTDOWN.
TWENTY SECONDS.
FIFTEEN SECONDS
AND COUNTING.
TWELVE, 11, 10...
THE ADMIRAL'S COMING BACK!
HE'LL BE SMASHED
BY THOSE TORPEDOES!
- CHIEF, STOP THE COUNTDOWN!
- MISSILE ROOM!
[ On Speaker ]
ABORT FIRING!
MISSILE ROOM, ABORT FIRING!
ADMIRAL! VEER OFF! VEER OFF!
DO YOU READ ME, ADMIRAL?
VEER OFF!
HIS RADIO'S DEAD!
HE CAN'T HEAR YOU!
[ Explosion ]
[ Men Coughing ]
- ADMIRAL, DO YOU READ ME?
- SKIPPER, THOSE TORPEDOES
DIDN'T FIRE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
LOOK FOR YOURSELF, SIR.
THE TORPEDOES ARE STILL
IN THEIR TUBES.
THE PROPELLANT FUEL EXPLODED,
BUT THEY NEVER MOVED OUT.
I CAN UNDERSTAND MALFUNCTION
IN ONE TUBE, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE ALL SIX MALFUNCTIONED.
WELL, WHATEVER HAPPENED,
THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T FIRE
SAVED THE ADMIRAL'S LIFE.
NOW FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG
AND FIX IT.
AS SOON AS THE ADMIRAL'S ABOARD,
WE'LL TRY AGAIN.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
- FLYING SUB APPROACHING
BERTHING AREA, CAPTAIN.
- GOT IT, SPARKS.
LET'S SEE WHAT
HE'S GOT TO REPORT.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, IT WAS
A RATHER INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.
BUT IT CAN WAIT.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE'VE BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED.
IT WAS THE POUNDING THAT DID IT.
THE POUNDING?
IT WAS LIKE A GIANT
BEATING A HUGE KETTLEDRUM.
DID YOU FIND OUT
WHAT IT WAS?
YES, I THINK SO.
KOWALSKI FOUND THIS
AND SMASHED IT.
IT'S A TOY DRUMMER.
KOWALSKI KEPT MUMBLING
ABOUT TOYS.
I, UH... I THINK MR. BURKE
CAN EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EXPLAIN?
THAT'S JUST...
ONE OF THEM CRAZY TOYS
I PICKED UP IN HONG KONG
TO TRADE WITH THE NATIVES.
- I GOT SIX OF 'EM.
- WHAT ABOUT THIS?
THIS ISN'T A PART OF ANY TOY.
LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND
OF A CONTROL DEVICE.
NOW SOMEHOW, BEFORE
WE PICKED YOU UP,
THOSE ALIENS FOUND YOUR TOYS
AND EQUIPPED THEM
WITH THESE DEVICES.
LEE, THERE ARE FIVE
OF THESE LOOSE ON THE SHIP.
WE HAVE TO FIND THEM
AND DESTROY THEM IMMEDIATELY.
MASTER-AT-ARMS,
SEARCH THE SHIP FOR TOYS.
ANY TOYS YOU FIND,
DESTROY THEM.
I WANT GUARDS PLACED
AT ALL STRATEGIC POINTS
THROUGHOUT THE SHIP.
[ Man ] AYE, SIR.
[ Sharkey ] SKIPPER,
THIS IS THE MISSILE ROOM.
THE TORPEDO TUBES
DIDN'T MALFUNCTION.
THE MASTER CONTROL
WAS SABOTAGED.
IT'S DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR.
DO WHAT YOU CAN.
THEN REPORT UP HERE.
AYE, SIR.
WELL, THERE GOES THE ONLY
CHANCE TO BREAK LOOSE
FROM THAT FORCE RAY.
NUMBER THREE HOLD
JUST RUPTURED.
IT'S SEALED OFF,
BUT IT'S FLOODED.
WE'RE BEGINNING TO BREAK UP.
IT'S NO GOOD, ADMIRAL.
YOU GOTTA DO LIKE
THEM THINGS SAID.
YOU GOTTA STOP THE ENGINES
AND LET 'EM HAVE
THAT NUCLEAR FUEL!
NOW, HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
I DIDN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
KNOW WHAT?
THAT THE ALIENS DEMANDED
OUR NUCLEAR FUEL!
LOOK, ADMIRAL.
THEY GRABBED ME.
THEY'D HAVE "THROWED" ME BACK IN
TO DROWN IF I HADN'T PROMISED
TO HELP THEM.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
WHEN WE FIRST RESCUED YOU?
I KNEW YOU DIDN'T HAVE
A CHANCE AGAINST THEM THINGS.
THEY SAID THEY'D LET ME LIVE
IF I PLAYED IT THEIR WAY. THEY
PROMISED NOT TO HURT NOBODY.
IF WE EVER GET OUT OF THIS,
I'M GONNA SHAKE THE TRUTH
OUT OF YOU.
RIGHT NOW, I WANNA KNOW
ONLY ONE THING.
WHAT ARE THEY REALLY AFTER?
THAT'S ALL I KNOW, ADMIRAL,
SO HELP ME!
CHIP!
LOCK HIM UP!
[ Sighs ]
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY MEANT
TO DESTROY US ALL THE TIME.
BUT WHY?
OBVIOUSLY, THEY WANT SOMETHING
MORE THAN THE NUCLEAR FUEL.
WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOT IT.
OUR ONLY CHANCE WAS TO BREAK
LOOSE WITH THE RECOIL FROM THE
FORWARD TUBES. NOW THAT'S OUT.
DON'T GIVE UP.
THERE MAY BE ANOTHER WAY.
I'LL NEED ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL ASK
FOR A MIRACLE THE WAY
THINGS ARE GOING.
- ONLY A PRAYER COULD HOLD
THE SHIP TOGETHER THAT LONG.
- TRY A PRAYER.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.
I CAN FINISH UP HERE.
GO DOWN TO THE ESCAPE HATCH
AND HAVE MY SCUBA GEAR READY.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO OUT THERE
WITH THESE, ARE YOU, SIR?
WITH THE TUBES SABOTAGED,
IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET
THIS PACKET TO THE ALIEN SHIP.
NOW, LOOK, ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, SIR.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
ANY WORD ON THE TOYS?
NO, SIR.
BUT THEY'RE READY
IN THE MISSILE ROOM.
SO AM I.
FIFTY PYRO-MAGNESIUM FLARES SET
TO IGNITE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
AT 50,000 B.T.U.'s APIECE,
THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT
OF HEAT ENERGY.
I JUST HOPE IT'S ENOUGH, AND
I CAN ATTACH IT TO THAT SHIP
BEFORE THE SEAVIEW BREAKS UP.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
CHIEF, I TOLD YOU TO HAVE
THE SCUBA GEAR READY FOR ME.
THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME,
BUT I JUST SAVED THREE MINUTES
BY BEING READY TO GO.
NOW ALL I NEED TO KNOW
IS YOUR PLAN.
THE ONE THING I FOUND OUT ABOUT
THESE ALIENS IS THEY LIVE
IN A SUBZERO ENVIRONMENT.
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DESTROY THEM
IF WE CAN RAISE THE TEMPERATURE
BEYOND SURVIVAL LIMITS.
AND THIS HEAT PACKET
MIGHT DO IT.
IF I CAN ATTACH THIS
TO THE SIDE OF THEIR SHIP,
IT JUST MIGHT WORK.
ALL RIGHT.
WISH ME LUCK.
YOU'LL NEED MORE THAN THAT.
IF THAT PACKET GOES BEFORE YOU
CAN MAKE IT BACK, AND YOU GET
CAUGHT IN THAT HEAT, YOU CAN...
[ Force Field Humming ]
THIS IS THE ENGINE ROOM,
ADMIRAL. THE SKIPPER
HAD BETTER MAKE IT FAST.
THE REACTORS HAVE REACHED
CRITICAL MASS. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HOLDING THEM TOGETHER.
WELL, MAKE 'EM HOLD TOGETHER.
THEY'VE GOTTA LAST
AT LEAST ANOTHER 10 MINUTES.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
LEE'S ALMOST REACHED
THE SHIP.
THIS IS CRANE. I'M APPROACHING
THE ALIEN SHIP FROM THE FLANK.
SO FAR, NO REACTION FROM IT.
[ Nelson ] YOU HAVE LESS
THAN 10 MINUTES TO ATTACH
THE HEAT PACK AND GET BACK HERE.
WILL DO.
[ Object Clicking ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
[ Toy Tank Clicking ]
YOU KILLED HIM!
OKAY. OKAY.
ADMIRAL.
GOT A SHOCK FROM THE HULL.
I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN MAKE IT!
WHAT ABOUT THE HEAT PACK?
IT'S JARRED LOOSE.
LEE, LISTEN TO ME.
I'M SENDING OUT A TEAM
OF DIVERS TO HELP YOU.
RIGHT. I'LL DO MY BEST.
LEE, DON'T WASTE TIME
ANSWERING.
AS SOON AS YOU'VE ATTACHED
THE PACKET, ACTIVATE THE TIMER.
YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO GET BACK ABOARD.
[ Force Field Humming ]
[ Male Alien Voice ]
THEY'VE SENT OUT DIVERS.
DROP THE NET AND DESTROY THEM.
[ Alien #2 ]
YES, SIR.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Hatch Unlocks ]
[ Toy Tank Clicking ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
[ Crane ]
ADMIRAL, THE MEN
ARE CAUGHT IN A NET!
- I'LL TRY TO CUT THEM LOOSE!
- [ Nelson ]
GO AHEAD.
I'LL SEND OUT A DIVER
WITH A HEAT TORCH,
JUST IN CASE.
[ Crane ]
GET BACK TO THE SEAVIEW.
I'VE GOT A JOB TO FINISH.
[ Force Field
Continues Humming ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS
THE MISSILE ROOM.
CAPTAIN CRANE'S BACK ON BOARD.
WELL, GET HIM UP HERE
WHEN HE'S OUT OF SCUBA GEAR.
AYE, SIR.
[ Explosion ]
THE ENGINES HAVE SHUT DOWN.
WE'RE BEING DRAWN
INTO THAT THING OUT THERE!
BLOW FORWARD AIR TANKS!
IT SLOWED US DOWN, BUT NOT
ENOUGH. THE HEAT PACK'S
DUE TO GO ANY SECOND.
THAT THING OUT THERE,
IT'S GONE!
THE HEAT PACK WORKED!
ADMIRAL, SAM BURKE'S DOWN HERE
IN THE MISSILE ROOM.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S UP TO,
BUT HE SAYS YOU AND CHIP BETTER
GET DOWN HERE ON THE DOUBLE,
OR HE'LL DESTROY THE SEAVIEW.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
I'M GONNA GIVE IT
TO YOU STRAIGHT, ADMIRAL.
YOU MAYBE GOT RID OF THAT HUNK
OF TIN OR WHATEVER IT WAS
COME DOWN FROM OUTER SPACE,
BUT YOU AIN'T OUTTA
YOUR TROUBLES BY A LONG SHOT.
NO, SIRREE.
I DON'T KNOW, MR. BURKE.
I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.
YOU'RE JUST WHITTLIN'
AN IRON TIE-ROD WITH A RUSTY
OLD KITCHEN KNIFE, ADMIRAL.
THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN
CAN GET YA OUTTA THIS...
THAT'S ME, SAM BURKE.
YOU LISTEN TO ME, OR
I'LL TAKE OFF AND LET YA DROWN
IN THIS OLD GABOON OF A SUB.
- OH, LET ME BELT HIM ONE,
HUH, ADMIRAL?
- EASY, CHIEF.
HE CAN'T TALK TO YOU THAT WAY.
JUST ONE CHOP. ONE LITTLE CHOP
TO THE WHISKERS, HUH?
- I SAID, EASY.
- PLEASE?
- YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
THOSE TOYS, WEREN'T YOU?
- YOU GOT IT, ADMIRAL.
THEM TOYS IS
STILL ON BOARD.
AND STILL PROGRAMMED
TO DESTROY US.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ALL OF YOU, BUT NOT ME!
THEY BEEN LEARNING
TO FIGURE ME AS A FRIEND.
AND I'M THE ONLY ONE
CAN STOP 'EM.
SO YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME.
- AND HOW 'BOUT MAKING A DEAL?
- NO. NO DEALS.
YOU GOT NOTHIN' TO LOSE,
ADMIRAL. I CAN SAVE YA!
HAVEN'T THEY FOUND ANY
OF THOSE TOYS YET?
[ Toys Clicking ]
YOU'RE TOO LATE, ADMIRAL.
DON'T MOVE.
- LOOK OUT, ADMIRAL!
- [ Lasers Humming ]
[ Groans ]
I... I'M SORRY, ADMIRAL.
I THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD
GET YA OUTTA THIS MESS,
BUT IT WASN'T NO GOOD.
THEY'D HAVE KILLED ME,
SO I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
YOU KNEW THE TOYS
WERE GOING TO ATTACK?
SURE.
THEY WAS PROGRAMMED
TO TAKE OVER YOUR SUB.
THERE WAS NOTHIN'
I COULD DO, BUT MAYBE
SCARE YOU OFF THE SUB...
SO YOU WOULDN'T
GET HURT NONE.
THAT'S OKAY, BURKE.
EVERYTHING WORKED OUT
JUST FINE.
YEAH. YEAH, FOR EVERYBODY
BUT... ME, I GUESS.
[ Chuckles ]
OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
A HARD-NOSED, OLD WINDBAG
LIKE YOU DOESN'T
GET OFF THAT EASY.
I'M ORDERING YOU A LONG REST
IN SICK BAY BEFORE YOU
GO BACK TO THE ISLANDS.
YEAH, AND BEING SOFTHEARTED
LIKE I AM, I MIGHT EVEN
BRING YOU A PRESENT.
- I THINK WE'LL ALL
CHIP IN ON THAT.
- OKAY, THAT'S A DEAL.
ONLY... ONLY ONE THING.
NO... NO WINDUP TOYS, HUH?
GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
[ Laughing ]
AYE, AYE, SIR.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
THERE YOU GO.
LEE.
LET'S HEAD FOR HOME.
WE'RE GETTING
A WEIRD BLIP FROM RADAR.
ALTITUDE: 10,000 FEET.
SPEED: MACH 32.5.
IT'S WAVERING. IT'S PITCHING
STRAIGHT DOWN NOW.
WHAT'S THE RANGE,
LEE?
THREE MILES.
SIXTEEN DEGREES OFF
OUR PORT BOW NOW.
THE BLIP'S GONE. IT MUST'VE
CRASHED INTO THE OCEAN.
WE'RE IN FOR
A NASTY JOLT.
ALL HANDS, STAND BY
FOR SEVERE SHOCK WAVE.
ALL RIGHT,
BRACE YOURSELVES.
HERE IT COMES.
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.
[ Man ] ROUGH, SIR, BUT NOT
ENOUGH TO DO US ANY REAL DAMAGE.
ALL HANDS, SECURE STATIONS.
ENGINE ROOM, FULL POWER.
CHANGE AZIMUTH HEADING
16 DEGREES TO PORT.
AYE, SIR.
YOU SEE ANYTHING, LEE?
NO, NOTHING.
YES.
BLOW TANKS.
ALL ENGINES, STOP.
READY SURFACE RESCUE PARTY!
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
THERE'S NO SIGN
OF ANYTHING ELSE.
NO WRECKAGE.
LET'S SEE IF
THAT MAN ON THE RAFT
CAN GIVE US ANY ANSWERS.
THERE ARE
NO OTHER SURVIVORS?
NONE.
AND NOTHING ELSE, SIR.
JUST THIS BURLAP BAG.
UH-HUH. WELL, STOW THAT IN ONE
OF THE LOCKERS FOR NOW.
AYE, SIR.
HE SWALLOWED QUITE
A BIT OF THE INDIAN OCEAN,
BUT HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
GOOD. I'LL BE
IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
LET ME KNOW WHEN HE COMES TO.
HE MIGHT HAVE SEEN SOMETHING
THAT'LL INTEREST US.

[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Klaxon Blaring ]
LOCKER ROOM.
CHECK ON IT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
GORDON!
[ Klaxon Continues Blaring ]
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
CAN'T TELL YOU, SIR.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU.
WE FOUND HIM JUST LIKE THIS.
YOU NOTIFIED SICK BAY?
AYE, SIR.
NO MARKS OF ANY KIND.
NO SIGNS OF VIOLENCE.
- LOOKS LIKE HE JUST
KEELED OVER.
- THERE HAS TO BE A REASON.
TOYS. WATCH OUT FOR THE...
WATCH OUT FOR THE TOYS.
WHAT'D HE SAY?
PROBABLY IRRATIONAL.
HIS PULSE IS FAIRLY STRONG,
BUT VERY ERRATIC.
WHICH MEANS?
I DON'T KNOW. FIRST THING IS
TO GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
GOTTA... GOTTA WATCH OUT
FOR THE... TOYS.
ADMIRAL. LARGE OBJECT
TWO MILES DEAD AHEAD.
AT 40 FATHOMS.
RIGHT THERE.
THAT HAS TO BE
WHAT HIT THE WATER.
IT HIT THE OCEAN WITH AN AWFUL
WALLOP. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
BROKEN UP COMPLETELY.
BUT IT'S JUST
FLOATING OUT THERE
AS SMOOTH AS A NEW DOORKNOB.
CHIEF, CAN YOU GET A READING
ON THE SPECTRO-ANALYZER?
WE'VE PROGRAMMED THROUGH
THE ENTIRE ATOMIC RANGE.
NOTHING.
[ Sighs ]
AND WE HAVE NO WAY
OF KNOWING WHAT
WE'RE UP AGAINST.
LET'S APPROACH THIS THING
WITH A LITTLE CAUTION.
YEAH, RIGHT.
MEANWHILE, I'LL TRY TO
HAVE A TALK WITH THAT MAN
WE PULLED OUT OF THE WATER.
ALL STOP.
MAINTAIN NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
PERISCOPE DEPTH.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
HIS NAME IS SAM BURKE.
AND HE'S A VERY LUCKY MAN.
HE'S ALMOST AS GOOD AS NEW.
I NEVER FELT BETTER
IN MY LIFE.
HOWDY, ADMIRAL.
IT'S A GOOD THING YOU CAME
ALONG, OR I'D HAVE BEEN A GONER
FOR SURE. I WANNA THANK YA.
IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOU, BURKE.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D LIKE
TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.
ANYTHING, ADMIRAL.
ANYTHING AT ALL.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I'LL GET BACK TO KOWALSKI.
[ Nelson ]
OH, HOW IS HE?
NO CHANGE.
HE'S STILL INCOHERENT,
STILL MUMBLING ABOUT TOYS.
[ Burke ] NO, SIR, ADMIRAL.
I'VE BEEN KNOCKING AROUND
THESE ISLANDS FOR 20 YEARS,
AND I AIN'T NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE.
[ Nelson ]
WELL, JUST WHAT DID YOU SEE?
WELL, I DIDN'T SEE VERY MUCH.
I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME
TO BE SCARED. I, UH...
I HEARD THIS CRAZY WHININ' NOISE
SUDDEN-LIKE, AND THEN GOT
A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WAS DOIN' IT.
UP IN THE SKY IT WAS.
BRIGHT AND FAST...
AND MOVIN' AROUND LIKE
SOMEBODY WAS DRIVIN' IT.
AND THEN IT HIT THE WATER
LIKE YOU CAN'T BELIEVE...
ABOUT 1,000 YARDS FROM MY SHIP.
THAT'S ALL I REMEMBERED, UNTIL
I WOKE UP HERE AND FOUND YOUR
GOOD DOCTOR BENDIN' OVER ME.
UH, YOU WERE ALONE?
YEAH, YEAH. WELL, EXCEPT
FOR A FEW RATS IN THE BILGE.
DON'T THINK I AIN'T GRATEFUL
TO BE ALIVE, ADMIRAL.
BUT, WELL, IT IS KINDA
HARD THINKIN'...
THAT EVERY BLESSED THING
I OWNED WENT DOWN
WITH MY SHIP.
WELL, NOT QUITE. WE, UH, FOUND
A BURLAP BAG. ONE OF MY MEN
PUT IT AWAY FOR YOU.
OF ALL THE THINGS TO SAVE.
JUST A LOT OF CHEAP STUFF...
I PICKED UP TO TRADE
WITH THE NATIVES.
I'LL SEE THAT
YOU'RE ASSIGNED A CABIN.
OH, BY THE WAY, WE'VE GOT
A FIX ON THAT OBJECT
THAT SANK YOUR BOAT.
I'M GOING TO HAVE
A LOOK AT IT NOW.
CAN I SEE IT TOO?
THAT THING SANK MY SHIP,
AND I GOT A SCORE
TO SETTLE WITH IT.
ALL RIGHT, MR. BURKE.
COME ALONG.
IT HASN'T BUDGED.
NOT SO MUCH AS AN INCH.
LEE, CHIP, THIS IS SAM BURKE.
HE SIGHTED THAT THING,
WHATEVER IT WAS.
NOT VERY MUCH, BUT ENOUGH
TO SUGGEST IT COULD BE THE WORK
OF INTELLIGENT CREATURES.
WELL, I... I SURE FIGURED
SOMETHIN' WAS STEERIN' IT.
AND YOU CAN BET
YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR IT WAS LIKE
NO AIRPLANE YOU EVER SEEN.
[ Nelson ]
IT MIGHT'VE COME
FROM OUTER SPACE.
NOTHING ON EARTH COULD HAVE
MANEUVERED AT THAT SPEED.
OR SURVIVED THE
TREMENDOUS IMPACT IT MADE
WHEN IT HIT THE WATER.
- RIGHT.
- LET'S GO DOWN
AND HAVE A LOOK AT IT.
GET THE REMOTE CAMERAS READY
AND THE EMISSION DETECTOR.
LET'S SEE IF THERE'S
ANY POSSIBLE RADIATION.
COME WITH ME, MR. BURKE.
MAYBE WE CAN SPOT IT
FROM THE OBSERVATION NOSE.
ENGINE ROOM, DEAD SLOW.
TAKE HER DOWN TO 30 FATHOMS.
[ Man On Speaker ]
DEAD SLOW. DOWN 30 FATHOMS.
AYE, SIR.
I'VE GOTTA MAKE THEM LISTEN.
[ Panting ]
[ Grunting ]
I'VE GOTTA TELL THEM
ABOUT THOSE TOYS.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
CAPTAIN, CAN I
SEE YOU A MINUTE?
WHAT IS IT?
TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS READING.
THAT THING UP AHEAD
IS RADIATING POWER.
YES.
IT'S ON
AN UNUSUAL FREQUENCY.
NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S BEEN
TRACKING US TOO, LIKE SOME
KIND OF ELECTRONIC PROBE.
I'M GOING TO HOLD HERE,
ADMIRAL.
AT LEAST UNTIL
WE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.
WHY?
[ Crane ]
THAT OBJECT SEEMS TO BE
TRACKING OUR COURSE.
WHAT'D I TELL YOU, ADMIRAL?
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING
ALIVE IN THERE TO DO THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
WE BETTER HOLD.
ALL STOP.
MAINTAIN NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
[ Man On Speaker ]
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.
AYE, SIR.
IF THERE IS INTELLIGENT
LIFE ABOARD,
I, UH... I WONDER
WHAT IT'S LIKE.
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU
ONE THING, ADMIRAL.
WHATEVER THAT THING IS
THAT SMASHED MY SHIP,
IT WON'T HAVE NO INTELLIGENCE
WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH IT.
[ Chuckles ]
WE MAY BE TOO FAR OFF
TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT.
WELL, BEFORE WE GET
ANY CLOSER, I BETTER
CHECK IT OUT.
WHY WASTE YOUR TIME, CAPTAIN?
I ALREADY TOLD YA IT AIN'T SAFE.
LOOK WHAT IT DONE TO ME.
SAY, YOU... YOU GOT
A MIGHTY POWERFUL CRAFT HERE,
WHAT I'VE SEEN OF IT.
I SAY, LET'S MOVE IN
AND BLAST 'EM GOOD.
WELL, IF IT TURNS OUT
TO BE HOSTILE, MR. BURKE,
WE BETTER STAY OUT OF RANGE.
LET'S SEE IF THE CAMERAS
CAN PICK IT UP.
ACTIVATE NOSE
AND SAIL CAMERAS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
THAT'S IT!
THAT'S THE THING I SAW
THAT SUNK MY SHIP.
SPARKS, THERE'S SOME KIND OF
UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT DEAD AHEAD.
TRY TO ESTABLISH RADIO CONTACT.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[ On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.
ANYTHING, SPARKS?
I'VE JUST LOCKED ON
TO SOMETHING, ADMIRAL.
[ Garbled Voices ]
THE DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA'S
POINTED RIGHT AT THAT THING.
IT'S GOTTA BE COMING FROM IT.
THE SOUND IS GARBLED.
WE SHOULD BE CLOSER,
MUCH CLOSER.
LEE, WE'RE GETTING
A GARBLED SIGNAL
FROM THAT OBJECT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT MOVING IN
A LITTLE CLOSER?
IT'S TOO RISKY, ADMIRAL.
WE HAVEN'T FINISHED
CHECKING IT OUT YET.
[ Garbled Voices Continue ]
[ Monitor Beeping ]
WE'RE GETTING
A FLUCTUATION ON THE
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DIAL.
BETTER GET A REPLACEMENT
CARTRIDGE FROM STORES.
[ Loud Banging ]
ENGINE ROOM, ALL STOP.
[ Banging ]
WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?
[ Patterson ]
THE CONTROLS MALFUNCTIONED.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
BUT WE'RE OKAY NOW.
LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THAT THING!
[ Force Field Humming ]
[ Humming Continues ]
FULL ASTERN! FULL ASTERN!
ACTIVATE COLLISION SCREEN!
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.
WE'RE CAUGHT IN A FORCE RAY.
IT'S PULLING US TOWARD IT.
ARE WE HOLDING?
AFRAID NOT.
THAT THING HAS MORE MUSCLE
THAN WE'VE GOT.
WE'VE SLOWED DOWN, BUT WE'RE
STILL BEING DRAGGED TOWARD IT.
STAND BY TO OPEN
COLLISION SCREEN.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
NO MORE
THAN THREE INCHES.
AYE, AYE.
ADMIRAL, MR. BURKE,
YOU BETTER TURN YOUR BACKS.
I'M GONNA TRY TO SEE
WHERE THAT FORCE FIELD'S
COMING FROM.
ACTIVATE!
CLOSE COLLISION DOORS!
ANYTHING?
NOTHING BUT
THE FORCE FIELD ITSELF.
MAYBE WE CAN NEUTRALIZE IT
WITH OUR OWN FORCE FIELD.
ENERGIZE THE MAGNETIC
FORCE FIELD.
[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.
[ Force Field Humming ]
THAT DID IT, SIR.
WE'RE HOLDING.
[ Force Field Humming ]
WE'VE GAINED A BREATHER,
BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL.
OUR FULL-REVERSE THRUST
AND THE FORCE FIELD...
ARE EXACTLY
MATCHING THE POWER
OF THAT FORCE RAY!
WELL, NOW, I'D SAY THAT
AIN'T EXACTLY GOOD ENOUGH,
ADMIRAL.
AIN'T YOU GOT ANY TORPEDOES
OR BOMBS ABOARD THIS CRAFT?
YES, WE HAVE, BUT WE CAN'T
FIRE THEM NOW WITHOUT GETTING
THE BACKLASH OF THE EXPLOSION.
FIRST WE'RE TOO FAR. THEN
WE'RE TOO CLOSE. I'D LIKE TO GET
MY HANDS ON THEM CRITTERS.
I COULD PUT AN END TO THIS.
I'M AFRAID IT'S GONNA TAKE
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.
- LEE, WE BETTER SEE HOW
WE'RE STANDING THE STRESS.
- RIGHT, SIR.
EVERY RIVET AND WELD
IN THE HULL IS UNDER
TERRIFIC STRAIN.
ASSIGN EVERY AVAILABLE MAN
TO DAMAGE CONTROL PARTIES.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
WE CAN'T TAKE MUCH OF THIS
WITHOUT SPRINGING LEAKS.
LET'S HOPE THAT'S ALL THAT
HAPPENS. WE'RE EXCEEDING STRESS
BEYOND DESIGN LIMITATIONS.
A LITTLE MORE
COULD TEAR SEAVIEW APART.
THE FLYING SUB HAS MORE POWER
FOR ITS SIZE AND WEIGHT
THAN SEAVIEW.
[ Chuckles ]
IT'S MARGINAL, BUT I BELIEVE
IT CAN ESCAPE THAT FORCE RAY.
- USE THE FLYING SUB AS A DECOY?
- THAT'S RIGHT.
I'LL BE FLYING OUT IN IT.
IF THEY TURN THE BEAM ON ME,
IT'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO GET SEAVIEW OUT OF RANGE.
THAT'S IF YOU CAN ESCAPE
THE FORCE RAY YOURSELF.
DAMAGE CONTROL,
OVER HERE!
CHIP, PREPARE THE FLYING SUB
FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH.
AYE, SIR.
LET ME ASSIGN A MAN
TO GO WITH YOU.
NO. YOU'LL NEED EVERY MAN
YOU'VE GOT TO CONTROL
THE SITUATION HERE.
YES, BUT IF YOU LOSE POWER,
YOU MIGHT NEED HELP
WITH MANUAL CONTROLS.
SO HOW 'BOUT ME?
NOW, I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT
THESE FANCY-DAN SUBMARINES,
BUT, WELL, I GOT
A COUPLE OF STRONG ARMS.
AND BESIDES, I GOT A SCORE
TO SETTLE WITH THEM MONKEYS,
OR WHATEVER THEY ARE.
ALL RIGHT, MR. BURKE.
GREEN LIGHT ON ALL SYSTEMS,
ADMIRAL.
GOOD.
LET'S GO.
[ Force Field Humming ]
COME ON. BUCKLE
YOURSELF IN.
YOU BETTER WEAR THESE.
ONCE WE DROP AWAY
FROM SEAVIEW,
YOU'LL BE IN THE GLARE
OF THAT FORCE RAY.
ALL INSTRUMENTATION GREEN,
READY FOR LAUNCH.
ROGER.
PREPARED FOR LAUNCH.
- MR. BURKE.
- I'M AS READY AS I'LL EVER BE.
- I AIN'T USED
TO THESE CONTRAPTIONS.
- WELL, YOU SOON WILL BE.
LAUNCH.
THEY'RE AWAY.
LET'S GET THEM
ON THE MONITOR.
IT'S... IT'S JUST SITTIN'
OUT THERE, ADMIRAL.
KINDA LOCKED IN WITH
THAT LIGHT ON THE SEAVIEW.
YOU THINK MAYBE
THEY AIN'T SEEN US YET?
EITHER THAT,
OR THEY'RE NOT BEING
FOOLED BY OUR MANEUVER.
I'M GOING IN CLOSER.
[ Patterson ] THIS IS THE
ENGINE ROOM, SKIPPER. URGENT.
GO AHEAD.
THIS TUG-OF-WAR IS MAKING
OUR REACTORS OVERHEAT.
YOU'VE GOT TO HOLD FULL REVERSE.
WE'RE JUST BARELY OFFSETTING
THE FORCE RAY.
WE'VE SPRUNG
A STEAM LEAK HERE, SKIPPER!
- SEND A DAMAGE CONTROL PARTY!
- ALL RIGHT, YOU'LL HAVE 'EM.
DAMAGE CONTROL, LAY AFT TO
ENGINE ROOM, ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
FLYING SUB TO SEAVIEW.
DO YOU READ ME, LEE?
WE READ YOU, ADMIRAL.
NO LUCK YET.
AND I DON'T DARE
GET ANY CLOSER.
I'M GOING TO APPROACH FROM
THE SIDE, ON THE CHANCE
THEY WON'T SEE ME.
AND I'LL TRY TO HIT IT
WITH A LASER BEAM.
[ Crane ] ALL RIGHT, ADMIRAL.
[ Loud Banging ]
LEE, IT WORKED!
THEY'VE TURNED THE BEAM ON ME!
GET THE SEAVIEW OUT OF THERE!
IT DIDN'T WORK, ADMIRAL!
THEY'VE TURNED
ANOTHER RAY ON YOU!
WE'RE... WE'RE TRAPPED!
THEY GOT US NOW TOO!
NOT YET. WE MAY HAVE
MORE POWER THAN THEY DO.
HE'S MAKING IT BACK, CHIP.
MAKE SURE THE MOORING LOCKS
ARE OPEN FOR HIM.
[ Loud Banging ]
LEE!
WE'VE LOST CONTROL!
THE FORCE RAY'S PULLING US
TOWARD THE SHIP!
IT'S GONNA CRASH
RIGHT INTO THAT THING!
THEY HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE!
IT'S... IT'S GONE.
IT'S NOT GONE, CHIP.
IT PASSED RIGHT THROUGH
THE STRUCTURE OF THAT THING.
ADMIRAL. ADMIRAL,
DO YOU READ ME?
COME IN!
[ Loud Banging ]
SKIPPER! THAT SOUND,
IT'S SHORTING
THE REACTOR CIRCUITS.
THEY'LL REACH CRITICAL MASS!
THEY'RE ALREADY
BADLY OVERHEATED!
EMERGENCY, ALL HANDS!
THAT SOUND'S COMING
FROM INSIDE THE SHIP!
WE'VE GOTTA
FIND IT AND DESTROY IT
BEFORE IT DESTROYS US!
[ Loud Drumming Continues ]
[ Force Field Humming ]
[ Loud Drumming Continues ]
[ Panting, Laughing ]
THAT WAS A ROUGH GO,
SKIPPER.
ANYBODY REPORT FINDING ANYTHING?
NO, SIR.
IT JUST STOPPED.
SHOOK US UP QUITE A BIT.
THERE'S A LOT OF DAMAGE.
KEEP THE REPAIR CREWS AT IT.
THEY CAN'T LET UP.
AND THERE'S MORE COMING...
IF WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO KILL THAT FORCE RAY.
[ Patterson ]
ENGINE ROOM, SKIPPER.
I'VE MANAGED TO STABILIZE
THE REACTORS, BUT I CAN'T
CONTROL THE OVERHEATING.
- HOW LONG WILL IT HOLD?
- AT FULL-REVERSE THRUST?
THIRTY MINUTES, MAYBE,
IF WE'RE LUCKY.
IF NOT,
THEY CAN BLOW ANY TIME.
WITHOUT THE ENGINES,
THE MAGNETIC FORCE SHIELD
WON'T BE ENOUGH.
WE'LL BE DRAGGED
INTO THAT THING OUT THERE!
WE HAVE TO PULL LOOSE
AND GET AWAY IF WE WANNA
RESCUE THE ADMIRAL.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
SOMETHIN' TELLS ME
WE... WE BIT OFF MORE THAN
WE CAN CHEW, ADMIRAL.
NO DOORS, NO NOTHIN', BUT WE
WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE HULL
OF THIS CONTRAPTION!
WHERE ARE WE ANYWAY?
IN SOME KIND OF
AN AIR LOCK.
WHOEVER OR WHATEVER
THEY ARE,
THEY'VE DISCOVERED THE SECRET
OF MOLECULAR SOLUBILITY.
[ Clicking Switches ]
THE TEST OF THE OUTSIDE
ATMOSPHERE SHOWS
WE CAN OPEN THE HATCH.
THERE'S BREATHABLE AIR
OUT THERE, BUT IT'S...
IT'S COLD. VERY COLD.
BUT YOU... YOU AIN'T
FIGURIN' ON GETTIN' OUT?
WELL, WE CAN'T JUST SIT HERE.
I'M GOING OUT TO HAVE
A LOOK AROUND.
SEE IF WE CAN COMMUNICATE
SOMEHOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THOUGHT I WANTED TO HAVE
IT OUT WITH THESE RASCALS,
BUT, UH, I GUESS
I WAS JUST SPOUTIN' OFF.
HOW CAN YOU FIGHT SOMETHIN'
LIKE THIS?
MAYBE... MAYBE I BETTER
JUST STAY HERE ON BOARD...
AND KINDA GUARD THINGS
IN CASE THEY TRY
TO PULL SOMETHING.
YOU CAN DO MORE THAN THAT.
YOU CAN TRY TO SPLICE
THAT CONTROL CABLE.
IF IT HADN'T SNAPPED,
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
WE'RE GONNA NEED IT
IF WE GET A CHANCE
TO ESCAPE.
ALL RIGHT?
OKAY.
[ Wind Howling ]
HELLO?
HELLO!
I... I'M HERE AS A FRIEND.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
YOU'RE DESTROYING MY SHIP.
MAYBE IT'S UNINTENTIONAL,
BUT... BUT...
COULDN'T WE...
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME,
COULDN'T... COULDN'T WE TALK
TOGETHER PEACEFULLY?
[ Man ]
YOU NEED NOT FEAR.
YOU NEED NOT FEAR,
ADMIRAL NELSON.
NO HARM WILL BEFALL YOU.
YOU KNOW WHO I AM.
WE ON THIS SHIP
KNOW EVERYTHING.
WELL, I'M LISTENING.
THIS SPACECRAFT
WAS FORCED DOWN...
WHEN ITS NUCLEAR FUEL
BECAME CONTAMINATED
AND HAD TO BE JETTISONED.
WE HAVE NONE LEFT.
THEN YOUR RADIATION DETECTORS
TOLD YOU THAT SEAVIEW
IS NUCLEAR-POWERED.
CORRECT, ADMIRAL.
THAT IS WHY WE TURNED
THE FORCE RAY ON YOU.
ALL WE WANT IS A PORTION
OF YOUR NUCLEAR FUEL.
IF YOU WILL GIVE IT TO US,
YOU WILL BE ALLOWED
TO GO IN PEACE.
THAT SOUNDS
REASONABLE ENOUGH.
WE ARE REASONABLE BEINGS,
ADMIRAL.
WE WISH YOU NO HARM.
BUT WE WILL DESTROY YOU
IF WE HAVE TO...
TO OBTAIN THE FUEL.
- I'D HAVE TO RETURN
TO SEAVIEW.
- YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO GO...
IF I HAVE YOUR WORD THAT
YOU WILL DO AS WE REQUEST.
IN RETURN, DO I HAVE YOUR WORD
THAT YOU'LL RELEASE US
WHEN I GIVE YOU THE FUEL?
YOU HAVE.
GO IN PEACE.
[ Man's Voice ]
THIS NELSON,
FOR AN EARTHLING,
HE SEEMS TO
BE MOST INTELLIGENT.
BEFORE WE RELEASE HIM,
DO YOU THINK HE REALLY
BELIEVED OUR STORY
OF NEEDING NUCLEAR FUEL?
WHY NOT?
TO HIM, NUCLEAR ENGINES...
ARE THE MOST ADVANCED FORM
OF CONTROLLED ENERGY.
HOW COULD HE GUESS
THAT OUR ENGINES
USE THE METAL TITANIUM?
THE GALAXY GODS
HAVE SMILED ON US.
NOWHERE ELSE
ON THIS BURNING PLANET
COULD WE HAVE FOUND...
SUCH A READY SUPPLY
OF PURE TITANIUM
AS IN THAT SUBMARINE.
EVEN SO, THE HULL
OF THE SEAVIEW CONTAINS
BARELY ENOUGH METAL...
TO REPLENISH OUR SUPPLY.
OUR ATOMIC REDUCERS WILL
DISINTEGRATE THE SEAVIEW
AS SOON AS IT COMES ALONGSIDE.
HAS THAT OTHER CREATURE BURKE
COMPLETED THE REPAIRS?
HE HAS.
THEN RELEASE NELSON.
[ Hatch Lock Cranking ]
HEY, ADMIRAL, I WAS
GETTIN' WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
- DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?
- THERE'S NO TIME
FOR THAT NOW, BURKE.
WE'RE BEING RELEASED.
IF YOU'VE GOT THAT CABLE FIXED,
WE CAN GET BACK TO SEAVIEW.
HEY, THAT'S GREAT.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY.
JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE OF MORE
MINUTES. I'LL HAVE THIS CABLE
GOOD AS NEW.
[ Force Field Humming ]
YOU'RE SURE THIS WAS
MAKING ALL THAT NOISE?
I KNOW IT WAS, SKIPPER.
THE MINUTE I FOUND IT IN HERE
AND BROKE IT UP WITH THAT BAR,
THE SOUND WAS GONE.
HOW COULD SUCH A LITTLE TOY
CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE?
I WARNED YOU ABOUT
THOSE THINGS, SIR.
I TOLD YOU THEY WERE DANGEROUS.
[ Sighs ]
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW THEY DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
MAYBE THAT GUY WE PULLED OUT
OF THE OCEAN COULD TELL US.
THEY BELONG TO HIM.
YES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
HE'S IN THE FLYING SUB
WITH THE ADMIRAL RIGHT NOW.
WE'LL QUESTION HIM
WHEN HE COMES BACK.
MEANWHILE, YOU'D BETTER GET
A CHECKOUT FROM THE DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ME
I'M WORRIED ABOUT, SIR.
BUT IF THAT GUY IS OUT
IN THE FLYING SUB
WITH THE ADMIRAL,
MAYBE THE ADMIRAL'S THE ONE
WE GOTTA BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
I WAS THINKING
THE SAME THING.
CARRY ON.
NO WORD FROM THE ADMIRAL?
NOTHING, SIR.
SKIPPER, WE'RE SPRINGING
MORE LEAKS ALL THE TIME.
- AND THE REPAIR PARTIES
CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM.
- [ Sighs ]
LOOK, LOAD ALL
THE FORWARD TORPEDO TUBES
WITH UNARMED MISSILES.
WE'LL FIRE THEM
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
NOW, THE COMBINED RECOIL...
MIGHT GIVE US ENOUGH BACKWARD
THRUST TO SPRING US LOOSE.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
OH, SIR.
WHAT ABOUT THE ADMIRAL?
IF WE CAN GET BEYOND
THE RANGE OF THAT FORCE RAY,
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP HIM.
I'LL HAVE THE FORWARD TORPEDO
TUBES LOADED IMMEDIATELY.
RIGHT.
ALL FORWARD TUBES
READY AND LOADED, SKIPPER.
FULL PROPELLANT CHARGE?
I TOPPED THEM OFF
WITH AN EXTRA 4,000 P.S.I.
- WHEN THEY LET GO, THEY'RE
GONNA SLAP US REAL HARD.
- YOU BETTER HOPE THEY DO.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE
TO BREAK LOOSE.
NUMBER FIVE BULKHEAD'S
BEYOND STRESS LIMITS.
IF IT GOES, WE'LL BE FLOODED!
ALL HANDS!
IN 30 SECONDS,
WE'RE GOING TO FIRE
ALL FORWARD TORPEDO TUBES
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN KICKED
BY A SHOTGUN, YOU'LL KNOW
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
ALL RIGHT, CHIEF,
START THE COUNTDOWN.
SET FOR, UH, 20 SECONDS.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
YOU KNOW,
THOSE FISH ARE GONNA PACK
A WALLOP, EVEN WITHOUT
THE WARHEADS.
AT THIS RANGE, THEY MIGHT PLOW
RIGHT INTO THAT THING
OUT THERE.
AND ADMIRAL NELSON IS STILL...
DON'T YOU THINK I HAVEN'T
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?
- NOW YOU'VE GOT YOUR ORDERS.
THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.
- AYE, AYE, SKIPPER.
MISSILE ROOM.
ALL FORWARD TORPEDO TUBES
ON AUTOMATIC COUNTDOWN.
TWENTY SECONDS.
FIFTEEN SECONDS
AND COUNTING.
TWELVE, 11, 10...
THE ADMIRAL'S COMING BACK!
HE'LL BE SMASHED
BY THOSE TORPEDOES!
- CHIEF, STOP THE COUNTDOWN!
- MISSILE ROOM!
[ On Speaker ]
ABORT FIRING!
MISSILE ROOM, ABORT FIRING!
ADMIRAL! VEER OFF! VEER OFF!
DO YOU READ ME, ADMIRAL?
VEER OFF!
HIS RADIO'S DEAD!
HE CAN'T HEAR YOU!
[ Explosion ]
[ Men Coughing ]
- ADMIRAL, DO YOU READ ME?
- SKIPPER, THOSE TORPEDOES
DIDN'T FIRE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
LOOK FOR YOURSELF, SIR.
THE TORPEDOES ARE STILL
IN THEIR TUBES.
THE PROPELLANT FUEL EXPLODED,
BUT THEY NEVER MOVED OUT.
I CAN UNDERSTAND MALFUNCTION
IN ONE TUBE, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE ALL SIX MALFUNCTIONED.
WELL, WHATEVER HAPPENED,
THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T FIRE
SAVED THE ADMIRAL'S LIFE.
NOW FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG
AND FIX IT.
AS SOON AS THE ADMIRAL'S ABOARD,
WE'LL TRY AGAIN.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
- FLYING SUB APPROACHING
BERTHING AREA, CAPTAIN.
- GOT IT, SPARKS.
LET'S SEE WHAT
HE'S GOT TO REPORT.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, IT WAS
A RATHER INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.
BUT IT CAN WAIT.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE'VE BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED.
IT WAS THE POUNDING THAT DID IT.
THE POUNDING?
IT WAS LIKE A GIANT
BEATING A HUGE KETTLEDRUM.
DID YOU FIND OUT
WHAT IT WAS?
YES, I THINK SO.
KOWALSKI FOUND THIS
AND SMASHED IT.
IT'S A TOY DRUMMER.
KOWALSKI KEPT MUMBLING
ABOUT TOYS.
I, UH... I THINK MR. BURKE
CAN EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EXPLAIN?
THAT'S JUST...
ONE OF THEM CRAZY TOYS
I PICKED UP IN HONG KONG
TO TRADE WITH THE NATIVES.
- I GOT SIX OF 'EM.
- WHAT ABOUT THIS?
THIS ISN'T A PART OF ANY TOY.
LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND
OF A CONTROL DEVICE.
NOW SOMEHOW, BEFORE
WE PICKED YOU UP,
THOSE ALIENS FOUND YOUR TOYS
AND EQUIPPED THEM
WITH THESE DEVICES.
LEE, THERE ARE FIVE
OF THESE LOOSE ON THE SHIP.
WE HAVE TO FIND THEM
AND DESTROY THEM IMMEDIATELY.
MASTER-AT-ARMS,
SEARCH THE SHIP FOR TOYS.
ANY TOYS YOU FIND,
DESTROY THEM.
I WANT GUARDS PLACED
AT ALL STRATEGIC POINTS
THROUGHOUT THE SHIP.
[ Man ] AYE, SIR.
[ Sharkey ] SKIPPER,
THIS IS THE MISSILE ROOM.
THE TORPEDO TUBES
DIDN'T MALFUNCTION.
THE MASTER CONTROL
WAS SABOTAGED.
IT'S DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR.
DO WHAT YOU CAN.
THEN REPORT UP HERE.
AYE, SIR.
WELL, THERE GOES THE ONLY
CHANCE TO BREAK LOOSE
FROM THAT FORCE RAY.
NUMBER THREE HOLD
JUST RUPTURED.
IT'S SEALED OFF,
BUT IT'S FLOODED.
WE'RE BEGINNING TO BREAK UP.
IT'S NO GOOD, ADMIRAL.
YOU GOTTA DO LIKE
THEM THINGS SAID.
YOU GOTTA STOP THE ENGINES
AND LET 'EM HAVE
THAT NUCLEAR FUEL!
NOW, HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
I DIDN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
KNOW WHAT?
THAT THE ALIENS DEMANDED
OUR NUCLEAR FUEL!
LOOK, ADMIRAL.
THEY GRABBED ME.
THEY'D HAVE "THROWED" ME BACK IN
TO DROWN IF I HADN'T PROMISED
TO HELP THEM.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
WHEN WE FIRST RESCUED YOU?
I KNEW YOU DIDN'T HAVE
A CHANCE AGAINST THEM THINGS.
THEY SAID THEY'D LET ME LIVE
IF I PLAYED IT THEIR WAY. THEY
PROMISED NOT TO HURT NOBODY.
IF WE EVER GET OUT OF THIS,
I'M GONNA SHAKE THE TRUTH
OUT OF YOU.
RIGHT NOW, I WANNA KNOW
ONLY ONE THING.
WHAT ARE THEY REALLY AFTER?
THAT'S ALL I KNOW, ADMIRAL,
SO HELP ME!
CHIP!
LOCK HIM UP!
[ Sighs ]
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY MEANT
TO DESTROY US ALL THE TIME.
BUT WHY?
OBVIOUSLY, THEY WANT SOMETHING
MORE THAN THE NUCLEAR FUEL.
WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOT IT.
OUR ONLY CHANCE WAS TO BREAK
LOOSE WITH THE RECOIL FROM THE
FORWARD TUBES. NOW THAT'S OUT.
DON'T GIVE UP.
THERE MAY BE ANOTHER WAY.
I'LL NEED ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL ASK
FOR A MIRACLE THE WAY
THINGS ARE GOING.
- ONLY A PRAYER COULD HOLD
THE SHIP TOGETHER THAT LONG.
- TRY A PRAYER.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.
I CAN FINISH UP HERE.
GO DOWN TO THE ESCAPE HATCH
AND HAVE MY SCUBA GEAR READY.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO OUT THERE
WITH THESE, ARE YOU, SIR?
WITH THE TUBES SABOTAGED,
IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET
THIS PACKET TO THE ALIEN SHIP.
NOW, LOOK, ON THE DOUBLE.
AYE, SIR.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
ANY WORD ON THE TOYS?
NO, SIR.
BUT THEY'RE READY
IN THE MISSILE ROOM.
SO AM I.
FIFTY PYRO-MAGNESIUM FLARES SET
TO IGNITE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
AT 50,000 B.T.U.'s APIECE,
THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT
OF HEAT ENERGY.
I JUST HOPE IT'S ENOUGH, AND
I CAN ATTACH IT TO THAT SHIP
BEFORE THE SEAVIEW BREAKS UP.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
CHIEF, I TOLD YOU TO HAVE
THE SCUBA GEAR READY FOR ME.
THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME,
BUT I JUST SAVED THREE MINUTES
BY BEING READY TO GO.
NOW ALL I NEED TO KNOW
IS YOUR PLAN.
THE ONE THING I FOUND OUT ABOUT
THESE ALIENS IS THEY LIVE
IN A SUBZERO ENVIRONMENT.
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DESTROY THEM
IF WE CAN RAISE THE TEMPERATURE
BEYOND SURVIVAL LIMITS.
AND THIS HEAT PACKET
MIGHT DO IT.
IF I CAN ATTACH THIS
TO THE SIDE OF THEIR SHIP,
IT JUST MIGHT WORK.
ALL RIGHT.
WISH ME LUCK.
YOU'LL NEED MORE THAN THAT.
IF THAT PACKET GOES BEFORE YOU
CAN MAKE IT BACK, AND YOU GET
CAUGHT IN THAT HEAT, YOU CAN...
[ Force Field Humming ]
THIS IS THE ENGINE ROOM,
ADMIRAL. THE SKIPPER
HAD BETTER MAKE IT FAST.
THE REACTORS HAVE REACHED
CRITICAL MASS. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HOLDING THEM TOGETHER.
WELL, MAKE 'EM HOLD TOGETHER.
THEY'VE GOTTA LAST
AT LEAST ANOTHER 10 MINUTES.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
LEE'S ALMOST REACHED
THE SHIP.
THIS IS CRANE. I'M APPROACHING
THE ALIEN SHIP FROM THE FLANK.
SO FAR, NO REACTION FROM IT.
[ Nelson ] YOU HAVE LESS
THAN 10 MINUTES TO ATTACH
THE HEAT PACK AND GET BACK HERE.
WILL DO.
[ Object Clicking ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
[ Toy Tank Clicking ]
YOU KILLED HIM!
OKAY. OKAY.
ADMIRAL.
GOT A SHOCK FROM THE HULL.
I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN MAKE IT!
WHAT ABOUT THE HEAT PACK?
IT'S JARRED LOOSE.
LEE, LISTEN TO ME.
I'M SENDING OUT A TEAM
OF DIVERS TO HELP YOU.
RIGHT. I'LL DO MY BEST.
LEE, DON'T WASTE TIME
ANSWERING.
AS SOON AS YOU'VE ATTACHED
THE PACKET, ACTIVATE THE TIMER.
YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO GET BACK ABOARD.
[ Force Field Humming ]
[ Male Alien Voice ]
THEY'VE SENT OUT DIVERS.
DROP THE NET AND DESTROY THEM.
[ Alien #2 ]
YES, SIR.
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Hatch Unlocks ]
[ Toy Tank Clicking ]
[ Lasers Humming ]
[ Humming Stops ]
[ Crane ]
ADMIRAL, THE MEN
ARE CAUGHT IN A NET!
- I'LL TRY TO CUT THEM LOOSE!
- [ Nelson ]
GO AHEAD.
I'LL SEND OUT A DIVER
WITH A HEAT TORCH,
JUST IN CASE.
[ Crane ]
GET BACK TO THE SEAVIEW.
I'VE GOT A JOB TO FINISH.
[ Force Field
Continues Humming ]
ADMIRAL, THIS IS
THE MISSILE ROOM.
CAPTAIN CRANE'S BACK ON BOARD.
WELL, GET HIM UP HERE
WHEN HE'S OUT OF SCUBA GEAR.
AYE, SIR.
[ Explosion ]
THE ENGINES HAVE SHUT DOWN.
WE'RE BEING DRAWN
INTO THAT THING OUT THERE!
BLOW FORWARD AIR TANKS!
IT SLOWED US DOWN, BUT NOT
ENOUGH. THE HEAT PACK'S
DUE TO GO ANY SECOND.
THAT THING OUT THERE,
IT'S GONE!
THE HEAT PACK WORKED!
ADMIRAL, SAM BURKE'S DOWN HERE
IN THE MISSILE ROOM.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S UP TO,
BUT HE SAYS YOU AND CHIP BETTER
GET DOWN HERE ON THE DOUBLE,
OR HE'LL DESTROY THE SEAVIEW.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
I'M GONNA GIVE IT
TO YOU STRAIGHT, ADMIRAL.
YOU MAYBE GOT RID OF THAT HUNK
OF TIN OR WHATEVER IT WAS
COME DOWN FROM OUTER SPACE,
BUT YOU AIN'T OUTTA
YOUR TROUBLES BY A LONG SHOT.
NO, SIRREE.
I DON'T KNOW, MR. BURKE.
I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.
YOU'RE JUST WHITTLIN'
AN IRON TIE-ROD WITH A RUSTY
OLD KITCHEN KNIFE, ADMIRAL.
THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN
CAN GET YA OUTTA THIS...
THAT'S ME, SAM BURKE.
YOU LISTEN TO ME, OR
I'LL TAKE OFF AND LET YA DROWN
IN THIS OLD GABOON OF A SUB.
- OH, LET ME BELT HIM ONE,
HUH, ADMIRAL?
- EASY, CHIEF.
HE CAN'T TALK TO YOU THAT WAY.
JUST ONE CHOP. ONE LITTLE CHOP
TO THE WHISKERS, HUH?
- I SAID, EASY.
- PLEASE?
- YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
THOSE TOYS, WEREN'T YOU?
- YOU GOT IT, ADMIRAL.
THEM TOYS IS
STILL ON BOARD.
AND STILL PROGRAMMED
TO DESTROY US.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ALL OF YOU, BUT NOT ME!
THEY BEEN LEARNING
TO FIGURE ME AS A FRIEND.
AND I'M THE ONLY ONE
CAN STOP 'EM.
SO YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME.
- AND HOW 'BOUT MAKING A DEAL?
- NO. NO DEALS.
YOU GOT NOTHIN' TO LOSE,
ADMIRAL. I CAN SAVE YA!
HAVEN'T THEY FOUND ANY
OF THOSE TOYS YET?
[ Toys Clicking ]
YOU'RE TOO LATE, ADMIRAL.
DON'T MOVE.
- LOOK OUT, ADMIRAL!
- [ Lasers Humming ]
[ Groans ]
I... I'M SORRY, ADMIRAL.
I THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD
GET YA OUTTA THIS MESS,
BUT IT WASN'T NO GOOD.
THEY'D HAVE KILLED ME,
SO I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
YOU KNEW THE TOYS
WERE GOING TO ATTACK?
SURE.
THEY WAS PROGRAMMED
TO TAKE OVER YOUR SUB.
THERE WAS NOTHIN'
I COULD DO, BUT MAYBE
SCARE YOU OFF THE SUB...
SO YOU WOULDN'T
GET HURT NONE.
THAT'S OKAY, BURKE.
EVERYTHING WORKED OUT
JUST FINE.
YEAH. YEAH, FOR EVERYBODY
BUT... ME, I GUESS.
[ Chuckles ]
OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
A HARD-NOSED, OLD WINDBAG
LIKE YOU DOESN'T
GET OFF THAT EASY.
I'M ORDERING YOU A LONG REST
IN SICK BAY BEFORE YOU
GO BACK TO THE ISLANDS.
YEAH, AND BEING SOFTHEARTED
LIKE I AM, I MIGHT EVEN
BRING YOU A PRESENT.
- I THINK WE'LL ALL
CHIP IN ON THAT.
- OKAY, THAT'S A DEAL.
ONLY... ONLY ONE THING.
NO... NO WINDUP TOYS, HUH?
GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
[ Laughing ]
AYE, AYE, SIR.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
THERE YOU GO.
LEE.
LET'S HEAD FOR HOME.
