medical science not stopped until a marine scientist returns him to the

and makes him live.

Where is he from?

The computer guesses.

He is named Mark Harris and put late his speed, agility, and strength.

allowed to return to his ocean existence, Mark decided to help us

exploration of the oceans.

And wants to gain knowledge about his human friends.

I have not learned enough.

Now, Man from Atlantis 2.

The Death Scouts.

Much rather than you.

How'd we do?

Three abalone, two lobsters, and a baby dog.

Wow, that was really great.

Jelly, what are you doing?

Throwing the lobsters back.

They look so awesome.

You know, the sun is so great out here. I just wish I could take this off and

get a tan.

Hey, it's okay by me.

Oh, yeah?

Forget it. All you're ever going to be able to see of her is in a wet suit.

Oh, ho.

Oh, ho.

Yes, well, I am going to take a little snooze.

What's the matter?

Ew.

It's spooky.

What do you think it could be?

The Navy's probably trying out some new dye markers.

Yeah, maybe.

Ah!

Aaron, what's the matter? What's wrong?

My hand.

It's burning.

Herb, are you kidding?

See that?

Get us over there. I'm going to call a coast guard.

Nocturnal theater for millions of years. I wanted to see if I could get him to

eat during the daylight.

You know what?

What?

He loves it.

He's healthier.

He's overweight.

He's taking more pride in his personal appearance.

I think that Mother Nature goofed on him a little.

I wish she did on me.

On you? Miller, what are you talking about?

My parents wanted me to take over the family ranch.

It was dry and rugged and gigantic.

But for some reason, I fell in love with the little things, like sea... And

that's why I brought Mark here when we left the Navy. I told him we had to work

with the best.

I always thought you were very astute.

How are we doing on the salinity, Dr. Merrill? Well, here's the scale.

With 4 % salinity, we get a pulse of 90.

With 3 % 96...

with 2%, 108, and so on. As its salinity decreases, the pulse rises.

Got it.

Okay, now we know his pulse rate relative to salt.

What's next?

I want to correlate that with water temperature.

Mark?

Can you hear me?

We're going to change the temperature of the water.

First warmer and... Dr. Merrill, I just picked up something you ought to hear. I

have it all on tape and it's pretty far out.

Be right back.

We have a mayday. Over.

This is the Point Bridge.

Over. Proceed immediately.

Pairing 100 ending by.

Reports three scuba divers from a small outboard were pulled over the side

without gear and not reappear.

This is the Point Bridge.

We'll comply.

Our ETA is 12 minutes.

Roger. This is Point Bridge.

Out.

It gets even crazier.

In later transmissions, the guy begins to convince himself it was a sea

Mark?

Do you know of any stain in the water that can burn you?

No.

How would you like to take a break?

I was taking a break.

Sorry.

Hello, Dr. Merrill.

Hi.

Did you monitor this?

We sure did.

Do you have any ideas?

Not yet.

I thought we'd take a look.

Okay, but be careful.

Thanks.

I have your water samples for you.

Who's your new diver?

Mark Harris.

Where's he from?

Atlantis. What?

Atlantis.

Oh, sure.

Did you pick up on anything?

Say no, Elizabeth.

Mark, what's the matter?

Say no.

We'll get back to you later.

Okay.

Why?

Dr.

Simon? Yes?

There's this kid outside. He has something in a can he wants to show you.

very excited.

Bring it on in.

Dr. Simon, this is... Kenny Washburn and Joe Reckley. Hi, kid.

Are you the scientist?

What do you got there?

This plant. It looks like a big carrot, and it makes purple ink. It was there in

the water over at Sunset Beach. It's really neat.

Can I get a reward?

You bet.

Kenneth? Yeah.

Washburn.

You get this.

You help him?

Well, when you bring me something, you get one of these, too, okay?

Boy, wait till you see this.

What happened to my plant?

There's a rock in there.

Did you play a trick on me?

Look, why don't you leave this here with me?

Oh, and see if you can find another one.

Because I'd really like to have a plant like that.

Okay. Okay?

Okay. Bye -bye, kids. Bye. Bye.

Miller?

Mark found this on the bottom of the B. Sierra Trench.

Now, this is white.

The bottom of the trench is a forest of kelp on top of black lava.

The trench is now a path of white pebbles like that.

Thirty meters long, perhaps two meters.

Since when?

I do not know. We did a thousand meter check on it.

That's very odd.

You know, this looks like it was incinerated.

It's radioactive.

Radioactive? What do you think?

I'm thinking that we have a very strong... Strange can of worms here.

Come here.

Take a look at this.

I don't believe it.

Ever see rock crystals like that before?

Like stealth.

Oh, boy.

Where do they come from?

From that stone the kid brought in.

Look.

Stone? That's a stone?

Oh, damn it.

Where'd he get it from?

Here.

And your so -called Pass of Pebbles was about... Here.

And we have a northeast tide with a five -knot undertow there.

Hmm.

Sam Woodward, please.

Sam?

Elizabeth Merrill.

Have you people up there had any sightings in the past few days?

No special reason, just want to check on something.

You have?

Thanks.

What did they see?

Well, the day before yesterday, about four in the morning, an orange and blue

streak flashed downwards.

and seem to disappear into the sea about 50 kilometers southwest of here, near

the B. Sierra Trench.

Jenny, we're taking this up.

Yes, Dr. Merrill.

Hi. Good morning.

Hi, Whit.

Morning, Whit. Gentlemen.

Okay, cut that out.

The Sierra Trench.

A couple of different courses.

County is closed on this lot.

Yes, ma 'am. Ed, what are you thinking?

How gullible we can be sometimes.

What if this whole thing is a figment of our imagination?

Nice catch.

Can I have my frisbee back, please?

Hey, give me the frisbee.

I'm getting a positive readout, but what does it mean?

What kind of a readout?

Resistance is dropping about one or two ohms per five kilometers.

That's weird.

Mark, do you see anything?

Mark?

Nothing yet.

Dr. Merrill, there's a call for you from the lab.

I'll take it on the speaker.

This is Dr. Merrill. Go ahead.

Dr. Merrill, one of those three missing people was found washed ashore.

The body has strange markings on it.

Call the police and tell them the Foundation has an interest in that body

would like to have a look at it.

Will do. Anything else?

That's all, Joe. Thanks.

You gummies, get out of the street!

I see it, Wes. Full stop, please.

Full stop.

I'm going to the main airlock.

Come on.

We better hold it here just in case.

Mark. I know. I will be careful.

I have the blip signal sewn into my trunks.

Remember, the range of that is only two kilometers.

Mark, I'm not overreacting.

We don't know what you'll run into.

The sea is my home.

Controls activated outer hatch open

Try the booster.

No, it's not signal strike time.

He must be behind something electronic.

Mark, come in, Mark.

Mark, come in.

Nothing.

I am ready.

I have something astonishing to tell you.

Speak as they speak.

I need nourishment.

Yes.

Thanks. Hurry back.

Food. They eat it dead.

Can I help you with something?

And these?

How many clams is the seaweed worth?

Well, that's very expensive.

Yes.

Clams are a unit of exchange.

Apparently the computer did not absorb that.

The

pain.

Are you satisfactory?

What of you?

I need nourishment.

Yes. There's got to be a spaceship.

That's all there is to it, a spaceship from a water planet.

But who brought it here, or what?

What does it matter?

It finally happened.

Beings from outer space have landed.

What a wonderful moment.

Miller.

It's possible there are three deaths connected with this. We don't know that.

How do we know if the beings from that ship are benign or hostile?

And what do we do about it?

I'm going to tell CW to get in touch with Washington.

Wait.

They are not here to do harm.

Give me time to understand.

All of us.

Time to understand.

Oh, hello, CW. And how is the most beautiful girl in the foundation today?

You said that to Dr. Merrill yesterday.

Well, yesterday she was. Today you are.

I have no point going in there.

You don't want me going in there because...

They're out joyriding in the sub.

I knew it. They've exceeded their allocation again.

Now, we can't afford this. We are on a tight budget. We are funded.

Oh,

they're back.

Well, well.

Well, it's not a word about anyone, huh? I'll take care of it with the crew.

There is no reason for you to be concerned.

Mark, is there something you haven't told me?

You have to tell me everything you know.

They are my people.

They have come for me.

What makes you think that?

I did not tell you before.

On the floor of the spaceship was... something with this exact design.

Coffee?

Tea?

Approximately $15 ,000 every time that submersible goes out.

Can't we get into this with you later? No.

Among other things, I have to talk about national defense.

The Navy wants you involved.

Old buddy, you're here, not wherever you came from.

And don't tell me there's no national defense where you came from because you

don't know where you came from and maybe they have national defense there.

We can't stop for this now.

There's an evaluation we have to make immediately.

Of what?

It was a deviant morgue in town.

It was washed ashore at Lincoln Beach this morning. Dead body in the morgue?

What's that got to do with anything?

The Coast Guard has asked us to relate it to a dive stay they found in water.

Oh. Well, if the Coast Guard wants you, you've got to go.

Look at this.

What do you make of this stain?

Well, whatever it is, we've never seen it before.

We don't know if it's acid or base.

It burns like an acid, but it's not nitric, formic, sulfuric, hydrochloric,

anything familiar.

We were hoping you might know.

No, we don't. We had to loot samples, but they deteriorated.

What was the cause of death, Johnny?

Well, there was water in the lungs, but it was also an indication of

electrocution.

Electrocution? Except there were no contact burns, interior or...

We'll be listening, too. Oh, some police car beefing up the call he got. We

listen in for the dead body calls.

How about that?

I think we have to get going.

Yes, go ahead. I want more on this.

Thanks a lot.

You bet.

A couple in wetsuits.

I believe they're like us.

People. Us.

You and I are not the same.

Let us separate.

Mark, you've been out of the water too long now. You're going to have to get

wetsuits. I'm still all right.

Okay, but let's meet back here in half an hour, all right?

You are tired.

You also.

It is desirable.

Yes.

Hi there.

You gonna let me put you into a hot tub?

You thinking of buying one, huh?

You look like people who really enjoy being clean.

Relaxing. Having a little, uh...

Community soak, huh?

Well?

Uh, now look, uh, are you interested in one of these or did you...

Are you high

on something or what?

I think you better leave.

Now look, I can be nice if you can be nice.

Why don't you just get out of here, huh?

We need to be wet.

That's very funny.

Look, are you going to get out or aren't you?

Hey, I'm not kidding. I'm going to call the cops.

Air is more harsh than I imagined Walking is awkward and tiring, but there

much beauty Trees are so tall flowered bright with color.

I Have not allowed that to enter my brain Must remove it from yours

It is called Forgetting I will do it

We must determine only their customs, their attitudes, and their strengths.

We must also penetrate their navy. We must swim among their ships this night.

More. We must observe control rooms of their ships and those on land.

How?

We will think of a way.

Our brains need to be alive and sparking.

Should we not?

Rest here longer. It is a good place.

Yes.

Are you dead?

What happened?

I don't know. They were sleeping under the water.

Then they got scared of us. They ran.

You two in the wetsuits, just hold it where you are, please.

Wait, it's all right.

We are friends.

Go get him. This is 1886.

One in pursuit of battery suspect.

Request assistance.

13A6, I need an ambulance at 2nd and Green.

I have a man down.

Very short of breath.

Don't know if he's going to make it.

Seems to be all right, except for his back.

Looks like he's slammed into a wall.

Mark, can you hear me?

Are you all right?

I have met them.

What are they like?

Did they do that to you?

I did not mean it.

How could they not mean it?

The police came.

They thought I was trying to do them harm.

They were defending themselves.

Elizabeth, they are my people.

They are like this.

Did you speak to them?

No.

They ran.

I will look for them until I find them.

Driving back in the car, the radio said the two people dove into the channel and

disappeared underwater.

And they have returned to the sea.

Mark, not yet. You're injured.

They have a force.

Like electricity in them.

And that's how they attack.

Elizabeth, if I do not find them, I will never know about myself.

You can't be sure about... I can be sure.

That design was in the spaceship.

Why? I don't know.

We're going to find out. Yes, I want to meet them, talk to them.

We've got to stop them from leaving. I can help you.

Not with that bag.

I can go in the submersible.

You must rest.

She's right.

We'll keep in touch with you by radio.

Hmm.

back, please.

Really?

Oh, that feels good.

Watch for two blips.

You're going to have to look closely.

They might not have any metal on them.

Right, ma 'am.

I have something.

A little approaching.

Elevation 20 degrees at 4 o 'clock.

Our question up to you.

It's Mark.

Mark, come aboard, please.

What's our speed?

Seven miles.

And we're going to lose sight of him in about 30 seconds. Yep.

800 meters.

How far are we from the target?

6 ,500 meters.

John, he'll still be within range.

Signal might be weak.

Everyone alert.

Yes, ma 'am. Wes, be prepared for anything.

you

Ahead full. Ahead full.

Right to zero at depth.

Right to zero.

Air main airlock.

Main airlock stand by.

Thank you so much.

Turn your ship around.

Do what he says.

Do what he says.

We're going to play standoff? This is no time for jokes, Miller.

It's a time for brains.

We have a problem here, and only someone with a lot of brains is going to solve

it.

We're not risking lives. We've had people injured and people killed.

Miller, nothing rash.

Do not move.

I'm not moving.

Miller! This wet suit is insulated.

Tell him I'll check him in a minute.

You and your college education.

I freak out on problems.

All security.

Good.

Get CW for me, will you?

Why?

I want an escort for this vessel.

I want armed guards waiting on shore. And I want underwater rescue to go out

get that spaceship.

Washington should be told.

Elizabeth, please.

Not yet.

I want to talk to him.

I can get through to them. They are like me. You saw that.

Give us a little time to understand what this is all about.

We can't withhold this information.

Something has to be worked out. Please, we have to.

I've got to get to the men in sickbay.

I'll think about it.

Six feet.

Low remaining valves.

Cure all tubes.

Prepare to evacuate main and emergency airlocks.

Hello,

Elizabeth.

This is getting to be a little monotonous. How about you and me taking

Well, now you're talking.

Bring him along.

That's the story, and that's as much as we know about them.

Are you kidding me?

No, C .W., I'm not.

If I say I want $10 million, I will get $10 million.

Twenty!

The first people from outer space, and we've got them.

Wait till I tell Washington.

Oh, stop reacting as if this were a prep school basketball game. It's very

important that we convey... I can be cool.

I can be cool.

There have to be those conditions.

Right. You told me.

I'll take care of it.

What do they look like? Can I see them now?

I'll show you.

Who'd ever thought that I'd be the one to notify the president?

Man, I'll go down in the history books.

Okay, move them over to the chairs.

Take care of them. Don't hurt them.

Elizabeth,

come here.

Bye, CW. Bye.

It's not a wetsuit. Close it.

My God, it's skin.

Right, it's skin. It's also sensitive to heat and it bleeds. This design was in

your spaceship.

We are connected.

Why did you try to harm me?

Are you here because of me? So, please, tell me.

Why does it look like a wetsuit?

Maybe it's not. Maybe it's manufactured.

Is this your natural skin?

Where did you come from?

How long have you been traveling?

You function underwater.

Did you come from a water planet?

Is that not true?

Hello, Mr. Stockwood.

C .W.? This is a big moment.

All right.

Let's hear it.

Want to come over here?

He has 3 ,500 volts negative and she has almost 4 ,000 positive.

That's how they kill.

But what happens to them in the water?

Maybe they can't complete a circuit in water.

They have to. Besides, how do they reproduce?

Hmm.

Shockingly, that's how.

Miller.

Elizabeth and Dr. Merrill, this is Mr. Grant Stockwood, a top security advisor.

Dr. Merrill. Nice to meet you. My co -worker, Miller Simon.

Of course.

And these are the people you've heard about.

This is Grant Stockwood from the National Security Administration.

Welcome to our planet.

In our world, we shake hands.

Like this.

Very good, very good.

Don't touch it!

Why not? They can kill you. When they're touching, they're the hottest storage

battery you ever saw.

Dr. Merrill, obviously you're dealing with something extremely dangerous here

that could be a problem.

C .W., you told me that... Mr. Stockwood, you agreed to let Dr.

Merrill and Dr. Simon work without interruption. I know what I agreed to.

Yes, sir, you do.

Sir, did you notice their hands?

I did.

Nevertheless, I have to take any threat into account.

It's not only Dr. Merrill and Dr. Simon who need time.

I do.

Time to communicate with them. Yes, of course, that would be valuable. Wait,

wait.

You're going to think I'm weird.

I've seen these people somewhere before.

CW, that isn't possible.

No, I have. I just don't... Where did I put the paper?

Does this mean that these people, these beings, are in someone else's bodies?

Well, we're not sure about it, but the thought seems unavoidable.

Then we're talking about murder.

If these people's bodies are right here, it's going to be very difficult to

establish murder.

We don't know if they inhabited them or duplicated them.

If they have a way of taking over other people's bodies, or a device for

duplicating them, and we have to see it.

We have to have it. There can be no other consideration.

And we're talking about national security, and that's that.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take charge of them.

I can't stay on the sidelines any longer.

I'm going to call the Navy.

I want their spaceship raised and examined, and a full examination of them

well. I'm going to have them locked up until I can have them transhipped to

Bethesda. Sir, if you lock them up, they might decide not to speak to anyone.

That's a risk I'll have to take. But I will tell it.

Yes, we have such a machine.

I am Zos.

I am Leoa.

We will go with you. We will tell you everything.

We will go without causing trouble.

I hope you're telling the truth.

I was sure of it.

Dr. Merrill, does that door lead to the parking area?

Yes. Then please take them out that way.

Come on, boys.

It would be best if we could stay here with you. But there seems to be no other

way.

There is a better way.

Take them out.

Elizabeth, stop him.

Let us keep them here, guarded if necessary, but here.

I can't stop him.

She's right, Mark.

I'm sorry.

Well, Lieutenant?

There's sight, sir. Everything's secure.

Fine. Let's go.

All right, men.

Mark. You are not helping me.

I try.

Sometimes I have problems. I need help, too.

I was wrong to take them captive.

You did what had to be done.

For the government, for you.

But not for me. Perhaps not for Leo and Zeus.

Mark, don't treat me this way. We must trust each other. Now, don't destroy

that, please.

I want to be with them.

You can't now.

We will see.

Mark, where are you going?

Elizabeth, do not follow me.

No, I've lost him.

I think I've lost him.

Professor Salmaggio from Capri.

He's coming over in June.

Fine.

How is he?

Miserable.

He's taking this pretty hard.

Well, he's the only water -breathing Mark Harris there is.

I'll route you a present.

Would you feel better if we were to go out looking for him?

If he wants to hide, we won't be able to find him.

Miller.

I love it.

Yeah, that's a big one.

You never see him jump like that during the day.

Everything jumps like that at night.

That sounds like a dolphin.

You know, it does.

There he is. I see him. Where?

Right out there.

Maybe he escaped from some aquarium, and he wants one of those weird things

called human beings to pet him on the back of it and give him his jollies.

You know, you've got some imagination, kid.

That's why I'm walking guard duty.

I'm so bright they don't know what to do with me, right?

You got that right.

And I to you.

Zeus.

Asleep. That is good.

This design was on my clothing when they found me.

The coach in the waves.

Yes. It is the symbol of our planet.

And we are from the same place.

Yes. Our voyage here was a long sleep.

You had a long sleep on your voyage, Saint -Louis.

You cannot understand yet.

Be patient.

Leo, you and Zeus took other people's bodies.

Yours was done for you.

And afterwards, your man was made blank.

What do we look like?

What is our original appearance?

We are small.

We are very beautiful.

Why are you afraid of fire?

It is told that on our planet at one time, there was much fire that came from

the mountains.

Volcanoes. We call them that here.

We breathed air then.

But there was much fire and smoke and ashes, and the people were dying until

they learned to breathe through the wetness of cloth.

After much time, children were born.

able to breathe better through wetness, and finally to breathe underwater.

We moved into the sea.

You are afraid of children.

You do not remember.

In our world, children are the enemy.

It is hard to understand.

At one time, parents were firm and clear in what they believed.

But they became weary and unsure of themselves.

They no longer understood right or wrong, good or evil, work or idleness.

And the children began to hate them and kill them.

And the place we are from is bad.

We came here to see if this one is better.

Is it?

Yes.

We will signal our leaders to begin the migration.

We will live in the sea. We will farm it.

You will be the one to mediate between the water people and those ashore.

You will be as a king.

I am not a king.

Yes, it was banned that way.

Your face.

Touch me.

What is it?

I am weak.

In the tank, in the laboratory, on the counter.

That strange plant the child brought in.

It is what we eat.

Do you think you could?

I will return.

Am I glad to see you.

I have spoken with Leoa. You've what?

You could have... I have learned everything, Elizabeth.

Tell me. Who are they? Why are they here?

First, I must take that.

Wait.

That's the only physical connection we have with their world.

It is their food.

They need it.

Mark. Do not try to stop me.

And I have not changed.

Please call Mr. Stockwood and tell him I'm bringing food to them.

Have a guard meet me at the main entrance and escort me in.

Elizabeth.

Trust me.

You are wondrous.

Because of you, we will eat well.

I hope they will let you come again tomorrow.

We do not have such a moon, or trees,

or hills covered with green,

clouded over with rain.

And such sweet smells.

It can't be yours.

Does it function?

I am trying.

Quickly.

We're going to bring in a recovery vessel. It will raise our ship.

It functions now.

Good.

Is something wrong?

Are you alright?

Can I get you something?

So I am one of them.

There's something I want to say.

It's strange that she was lying to you.

No.

Remember when Zos first started to talk?

He became aware that Stockwood would go out and get the spaceship.

And he stole that by saying he'd cooperate.

Mark, they know exactly what they're doing. They're so advanced, we can't

keep up with them.

If you had heard her, seen her talking to me, you would not say that.

Everything she told me was complete and logical.

Mark, your eagerness to know the truth for yourself is understandable.

But it's clouding what is usually a very bright and perceptive mind.

Why will you not believe me?

Because I think you're afraid to admit that she could deceive you. You know

what she told you must be a lie.

You're not like them. You're not afraid of fire. You're not afraid of children.

You feel.

You're like us.

Or Dr. Merrill.

Don't panic over there. The Navy wants them and their spaceship.

How do I know what the Navy told you is true?

Mark, with or without your help, Miller and I have to go.

Will you help?

after that spaceship. Right.

Con is closed.

The con is locked.

Take her down. Set 10 meters, course 343.

10 meters, 343.

Got it, got it, got it.

Thank you, John. Yes, sir.

Dr. Merrill?

The Navy gets choppers in the air with frogmen.

The Navy's trying to track them from the air.

Let's go now.

Look me through.

Remember, they've got that chemical.

I need flares.

Right.

The Navy's holding off. Good.

Airlock sealed.

Controls activated.

Outer hatch open.

Thank you.

Marking inter -drill for the main airlock.

Take her in here.

I've radioed for special equipment, and it'll be waiting at the dock when we

arrive.

We're doing everything that can be done for you.

Thank you.

I want to be well, to live in the air like you.

I want to live to know you more.

Rest. Keep your mind on being well.

I think I am the only one in the history of the universe to...

The only one to what?

To come from one planet and love someone from another.

I would... I'd like to live, but I do not think I can.

You can, Leo.

Not in this body.

It is not mine.

When you were in the spaceship, did you see the image of me on the wall?

The triangle with the curled eyes.

And the three mouths.

Yes.

And you were right.

You are beautiful.

Do you understand the word kiss?

I have never had one of that experience.

Mark, I'm sorry. I know how you must feel.

You have to learn not to be so affected by my problems.

There's too much to do, too much to learn.

It's true.

I think you carry too much responsibility.

Perhaps you need a vacation.

Yes, perhaps.

We must never let what happened on Leo's planet happen here.

So many things, the fish in the ocean, the plants and animals on the shore, and

even the people.

Yes, the people.

That's something I have to learn more about.

For example, how do you know when someone is telling the truth?
