AYE, AYE. MISSILE CREW, PREPARE FOR COUNTDOWN.

TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN,

SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.

FIRE!

ADMIRAL, TEST MISSILE ON COURSE.

[ Nelson ] WHAT'S HER POSITION RIGHT NOW?

HEADED DOWN-RANGE, JUST CROSSING THE GRAND BAHAMAS.

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Birds Squawking ]

[ Siren Continues ]

GOTTA TRY TO MAKE IT THROUGH.

[ Grunting ]

[ Siren Continues ]

ADMIRAL? HERE ARE THE FINAL FIGURES ON LAST NIGHT'S TEST LAUNCH.

GOOD. WITH OUR NEW EQUIPMENT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUT 20 MINUTES OFF THAT TIME.

THIS SHOULD BE A PERFECT AREA TO PLANT IT. CLEAR WATER, SMOOTH BOTTOM, PLENTY OF DEPTH.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET ON WITH IT. SHARKEY? ALL READY, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. GET THE NEW DEVICE ABOARD THE FLYING SUB. IF THIS DIVE CHECKS OUT ALL RIGHT,

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLANT IT ON THE BOTTOM BEFORE DARK. RIGHT, SIR.

CHIEF? LET'S GO.

STAND BY TO RELEASE BELL.

MR. MORTON, I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS TO THE SKIPPER.

YOU'LL FIND HIM UP FORWARD IN THE FLYING SUB HATCH. BE CAREFUL WITH THAT GUIDANCE DEVICE.

COST OVER A MILLION AND A HALF BUCKS.

THIS, SIR? SO DON'T DROP IT.

YES, SIR. I MEAN, NO, SIR.

SKIPPER?

[ Crane ] BE RIGHT THERE!

A MILLION AND A HALF BUCKS.

I WISH HE HADN'T HAVE TOLD ME.

ALL RIGHT. HAND IT HERE.

CAREFUL, SIR. IT'S-IT'S VERY VALUABLE.

YES, RILEY. I'LL BE CAREFUL.

THAT'S IT.

8,440 FEET, CAPTAIN.

YOU'RE 2,000 FEET FROM THE BOTTOM, ADMIRAL.

[ On Speaker ] WHAT'S IT LIKE DOWN THERE?

IT'S GOOD SO FAR. WATER'S CLEAR, AND THERE'S NOTHING TO OBSTRUCT THE BEAM.

WE'VE ALREADY LOADED THE DEVICE INTO THE FLYING SUB. FINE.

IF THE BOTTOM'S SOLID, I'LL PLANT IT AS SOON AS I GET UP.

HEY, ADMIRAL, WHAT'S THIS, UH, THING YOU'RE PUTTING DOWN HERE WITH THE FLYING SUB?

THAT'S A MINIATURIZED GUIDANCE-OR-DESTRUCT MECHANISM...

THAT'LL ALLOW US TO FIRE RETALIATORY ROCKETS WITHOUT A PROGRAMMED TARGET.

MR. MORTON, SIR.

THERE'S SOMETHING OFF THE PORT BOW, SIR. LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

HMM. TWO MEN CLINGING TO A ROWBOAT.

OUT HERE? HOW'D THEY GET OUT SO FAR FROM LAND?

I DON'T KNOW.

SPECIAL DECK DETAIL, STAND BY.

DOWN SCOPE. AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Camera Whirring ]

[ Clicks Off ]

THEY'RE GONE.

SOMETHING MUST HAVE FRIGHTENED 'EM AWAY.

SEE IF YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING FROM THE OTHER PORTHOLE. NOTHING HERE, SIR.

HMM.

[ Roaring ]

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[ Roaring ]

4,300 FEET.

YOU'RE 1,100 FEET FROM THE BOTTOM, ADMIRAL.

[ Morton On Speaker ] SMALL BOAT CAPSIZED 200 YARDS OFF STARBOARD, CAPTAIN.

PUT IT ON THE MONITOR, CHIP. AYE, AYE.

[ Crane ] GIVE ME A CLOSER LOOK.

ALL RIGHT, CHIP. STAND BY TO PICK THEM UP. AYE, SIR.

KOWALSKI, RECOVER THE DIVING BELL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE?

WE HAD TO ALTER COURSE TO PICK UP TWO MEN ADRIFT IN AN OVERTURNED BOAT.

THEY'RE BRINGING THEM ABOARD NOW. LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT 'EM.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY.

ALL RIGHT. BRING 'EM DOWN.

GET HIM TO SICK BAY.

EASY! EASY WITH HIM.

[ Groaning ]

THERE ARE NO ISLANDS AROUND HERE FOR A HUNDRED MILES.

I'LL TALK TO 'EM.

I WANT TO TAKE THE BELL DOWN ONCE MORE BEFORE WE LOSE THE SUN. WILL YOU ARRANGE THAT?

RIGHT AWAY. CHIEF? SIR.

[ Panting ] WHAT--

HOW IS HE, DOC? NOT BAD, CONSIDERING. HOW LONG WERE YOU OUT THERE?

A WEEK? TWO WEEKS? HOW LONG?

A LONG TIME. I DON'T KNOW.

WHERE-WHERE'S DOBBS?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON YOUR FEET. LEAVE ME ALONE. I'M ALL RIGHT, DOC.

I'M RIGHT HERE, PAL. RIGHT HERE. EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

- DOBBS IS THE NAME-- FRANCIS J. DOBBS. - NELSON.

THIS IS MY, UH, BUSINESS ASSOCIATE, JOE HAWKINS.

THANKS FOR FISHING US UP.

- THEY REALLY SAVED OUR SKIN, DIDN'T THEY? - YEAH, THANKS.

HOW DID YOU GET SO FAR OUT IN THE OCEAN?

THAT'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO KNOW. EITHER OF YOU GOT A BUTT?

OH. HERE. HERE, KEEP 'EM.

THANKS.

ARE THEY WELL ENOUGH TO TRAVEL? I THINK SO.

I'M GOING TO THE GRAND BAHAMAS TONIGHT IN THE FLYING SUB. I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME.

THE GOVERNOR'S A FRIEND OF MINE. HE'LL ARRANGE FOR YOUR TRANSPORTATION TO THE MAINLAND.

GET THEM SOME DRY CLOTHES AND SOMETHING TO EAT.

YES, SIR.

[ Whispering ] THE GRAND BAHAMAS, THE GOVERNOR--

WE'RE HEADING RIGHT BACK WHERE WE CAME FROM.

NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

WE'RE GOING TO BRAZIL. THEY GOT NO EXTRADITION LAWS THERE.

HMM. WHAT'S BUGGING YOU?

YOU KNOW, THOSE, UH-- THOSE TWO CHARACTERS.

MM-HMM. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT PHONY STORY...

ABOUT DRIFTING OUT HERE FROM MIAMI.

I'M TELLING YOU, CHIEF, THOSE GUYS ARE AS PHONY AS A SIX-DOLLAR BILL.

ALL RIGHT, SHERLOCK. LET'S HEAR IT. ALL RIGHT.

NOW, THEY SAY THEY RENTED THAT BOAT IN MIAMI. RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT WAS NOT A RENTED BOAT. OH.

NO NUMBER. NO, NO. NO NUMBER.

EVERY RENTED BOAT CARRIES A NUMBER. OF COURSE.

IT'S LIKE A CAR LICENSE. RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU BETTER TELL THE CAPTAIN. COME-- YOU'VE GOT TO BE OUT OF YOUR MIND!

I CAN'T GO AROUND MAKING CHARGES JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SEE A NUMBER ON A BEAT-UP BOAT.

[ Chuckles ] I'M WARNING YOU, CHIEF. IF YOU DON'T GO TELL--

[ Morton On Speaker ] SPECIAL BELL DETAIL, REPORT TO THE MISSILE ROOM.

LET'S GO, SHERLOCK.

AND, UH, PLEASE. WILL YOU SAVE YOUR DEDUCTIONS FOR YOUR INCOME TAX?

COME ON.

[ Switches Clicking ]

HIYA.

SORRY, GENTLEMEN. THIS ROOM'S OFF LIMITS.

OH. UH, WE HEAR THAT THE ADMIRAL...

IS GOING DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA IN THAT THING.

- WE JUST WANNA WATCH. - COME ON, CAPTAIN. WE WON'T GET INTO ANYBODY'S HAIR.

[ Morton On Speaker ] STAND BY TO LAUNCH BELL. NOW HOLD IT RIGHT HERE.

ADMIRAL? DOBBS AND HAWKINS, UH, I DON'T THINK SHOULD BE HERE.

OH, STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT. THEY'LL BE OUT OF HERE IN A FEW HOURS.

GOOD LUCK.

LAUNCH DIVING BELL. [ Kowalski ] AYE, AYE.

[ Clicking, Whirring ] HERE'S THE FLYING SUB.

[ Hawkins ] AND HERE'S THE ARSENAL.

[ Roars ]

DOBBS. OH, THAT'S SOME SUBMARINE YOU'VE GOT HERE, CAP.

YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING BUT A POOLROOM. THAT PLAN'S CLASSIFIED.

OH, SORRY. SORRY. WE'LL FORGET THAT WE SAW IT. RIGHT, HAWKINS? YEAH, RIGHT.

HEY, CAP. IS THIS SMALL CABLE ALL THAT'S HOLDING UP THAT DIVING BELL?

THAT'S ALL. IF IT BREAKS, THEN THAT'S CURTAINS FOR THE ADMIRAL.

IT WON'T BREAK. IT'S STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD 10 DIVING BELLS. 1,500 FEET, CAPTAIN.

[ Crane ] 3,900 FROM BOTTOM, ADMIRAL.

[ Nelson ] CHECK, LEE. ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL.

WHEN I GIVE YOU THE NOD, MAKE A BIG THING ABOUT NOSING AROUND THOSE MISSILE TUBES.

HEY. I WANT TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO KEEP THEM BUSY HERE...

WHILE WE MAKE OUR WAY TO THE FLYING SUB.

OH, YEAH.

HEY, CAPTAIN, I BET THESE ARE THEM NUCLEAR MISSILES I HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT.

GET AWAY FROM THERE! SHUT THAT INSPECTION DOOR.

[ Machinery Clattering ]

WHAT'S THAT, KOWALSKI? I DON'T KNOW.

[ Rumbling ] [ Grunting ]

CLUTCH IS SLIPPING!

BELL PRESSURE 200 S.F.I., SIR.

WE'LL HAVE TO EQUALIZE IT. OPEN THE MAIN VALVES ALL THE WAY.

KOWALSKI, GIVE ME A HAND! [ Screeching ]

THERE'S OIL IN THERE! DOUSE IT WITH GASOLINE! RIGHT!

[ Hissing ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Screeching ]

START EMERGENCY RECOVERY PROCEDURES. AYE. AYE, AYE.

[ Hissing On Speaker ]

ADMIRAL.

ADMIRAL! SHARKEY!

RECOVERY COMPLETE, MR. MORTON. [ On Speaker ] HOW'S THE ADMIRAL?

WE'RE CRACKING THE HATCH NOW.

[ Hatch Opens ]

[ Coughing ] EASY, EASY.

COME ON, CHIEF.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

OKAY? YEAH.

[ Man ] NAVIGATION TO CONTROL. NAVIGATION TO CONTROL.

ALL SYSTEMS NOW STANDING BY TO ANSWER BELLS.

VERY WELL. WE'LL HOLD OUR TRIM AND WAIT FOR FURTHER ORDERS.

DOBBS DOESN'T MIND USING THAT GUN, SO NOBODY MOVE.

OPEN THE HATCH TO THE FLYING SUB.

THAT WAS STUPID, SAILOR! [ Klaxon Blaring ]

WHAT'S THAT? CONTROL ROOM! KOWALSKI, WHERE'S DOBBS AND HAWKINS?

I DON'T KNOW. THEY WERE HERE JUST BEFORE THE CLUTCH SLIPPED.

IT'S EMPTY, SKIPPER. THAT'S HOW THE OIL GOT INTO THE CLUTCH MECHANISM.

THEY SABOTAGED IT.

MOVE! COME ON! MOVE!

[ Clattering ] HURRY UP. I HEAR SOMEBODY COMING.

COME ON, COME ON. QUIT STALLING. COME ON.

[ Extinguisher Blasting ]

BALLAST CONTROL'S OUT, LEE.

[ Water Rushing ]

TANKS ARE FLOODING. WE'RE HEADED FOR THE BOTTOM!

[ Roaring ]

IT'S NO USE.

[ Morton On Speaker ] LEDGE DEAD AHEAD, CAPTAIN.

SWITCH ON THE NOSE CAMERA.

I'M GONNA TRY TO CRASH-LAND ON THAT LEDGE.

ENGINE ROOM, PREPARE TO STOP ALL ENGINES.

[ On Speaker ] ALL HANDS, BRACE YOURSELVES.

STOP ALL ENGINES. [ Man On Speaker ] ALL STOP.

GOOD WORK, LEE.

SHARKEY, GET REPAIRS UNDER WAY ON THE DOUBLE. AYE, AYE, SIR.

THEY'RE NOT IN HERE.

GET A SEARCH PARTY. FIND THEM. AYE, AYE, SIR.

COME ON. COME ON, COME ON.

COME ON. COME ON, COME ON. GET IN.

[ Groans ]

[ Groans ] SHUT UP. SHUT UP.

I CAN'T HELP IT. IT HURTS SOMETHING REAL AWFUL.

SO IT HURTS.

IT'S BAD, DOBBS.

WRAP THAT RAG AROUND IT. THAT WON'T DO ANY GOOD.

I NEED A DOC.

WHO NEEDS A DOC? YOU'RE NUTS.

LISTEN, IF THIS WAS YOU, I'D TRY TO HELP YA. I WOULD.

SURE YOU'D HELP. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I-I'D TRY TO FIND A DOC. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL SICK BAY? FORGET IT.

[ Groaning ]

[ Mock Groaning ]

YOU MAKE ME SICK!

[ Latch Opens ]

[ Grunts ]

COME ON, COME ON! I'M COMING, I'M COMING!

COME ON.

NOW, THOSE PLANS SHOWED SOME PIPE GOING FROM ONE END OF THIS TUB TO THE OTHER.

THERE SHOULD BE AN OPENING SOMEPLACE AROUND HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YEAH. THAT'S IT. OKAY, GO AHEAD.

HURRY. [ Grunts ] [ Groans ]

COME ON.

WELL, THAT SHOULD JUST ABOUT DO IT.

SEE, THOSE BULLETS HIT THE AUTOMATIC PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE MAIN BALLAST TANKS.

THE VALVES OPENED SO FAST, THE SUDDEN INCREASE OF PRESSURE MAY HAVE WEAKENED THEM.

NOW WE'LL TAKE IT EASY UNTIL WE CAN BE SURE. MM-HMM. GOOD.

WHAT ABOUT DOBBS AND HAWKINS? A SEARCH PARTY'S STILL COMBING THE SHIP.

IN THE MEANTIME, I CHECKED THEM OUT WITH THE F.B.I. [ Paper Rustles ]

THEY'VE GOT QUITE A RECORD. HMM.

"ROBBERY, KIDNAPPING, MURDER."

PLUS THE GUARD THEY KILLED DURING THEIR ESCAPE.

PASS THE WORD TO ALL HANDS. DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH THESE TWO. SHOOT FIRST.

AYE, SIR.

HERE'S THE WHOLE DAMAGE REPORT, SIR. MM-HMM.

HMM. PRESSURE'S STILL TOO HIGH.

WE'VE GOT TO BLEED OFF THE AIR.

CAN WE FREE THE MAIN VENT CONTROL MANUALLY?

WE CAN MAKE A MIGHTY GOOD TRY AT IT, SIR. HMM.

I'LL ASK FOR A VOLUNTEER TO GO INTO THE TANK. YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE, CAPTAIN.

CHIEF, I CAN'T RISK LETTING YOU GO IN THERE.

CAPTAIN, YOU CAN'T RISK SENDING ANYONE ELSE.

WE'RE ONLY GONNA GET ONE CHANCE AT THESE VALVES.

I'VE FORGOT MORE ABOUT THEM THAN MOST OF THESE GUYS WILL EVER KNOW.

EH, CHIEF. SIR?

GOOD LUCK.

ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI. KEEP YOUR EYE PEELED ON THAT GAUGE.

IF THE PRESSURE GOES OVER 200 P.S.I., YOU SING OUT.

YOUR SCUBA RIG WON'T FUNCTION MUCH ABOVE 220 P.S.I. YOU WANT TO CUT IT THAT CLOSE?

[ Chuckles ] I DON'T WANNA, BUT I'M GONNA.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET GOING.

- YOU READ ME, KOWALSKI? - LOUD AND CLEAR, CHIEF.

LOCATED THE VALVE. WHAT'S THE PRESSURE NOW?

1-2-5 AND MOVING UP. YOU HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TIME.

PRESSURE'S UP TO 1-9-0, MOVING UP.

IF I DON'T GET THIS THING LOOSENED, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT BACK TO THE SURFACE.

I'M GONNA PUT THE TORCH ON IT.

CHIEF, PRESSURE'S UP TO 1-9-6. NOW YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THERE IF YOU'RE COMING.

[ Coughing ]

2-0-5 P.S.I., CHIEF.

SHARKEY, PRESSURE'S OVER 222! YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THERE!

CHIEF? CHIEF, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

CHIEF!

[ Coughing ]

CHIEF?

[ Coughing ]

CHIEF.

[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

YOU OKAY, CHIEF? YEAH.

I THINK SO.

CAPTAIN. TASK COMPLETED, SIR.

GOOD WORK, CHIEF. PREPARE TO SURFACE. AYE, AYE.

LOWEST PRESSURE. BLOW MAIN TANKS.

[ Roaring ]

WE'RE CLEAR OF THE PLATEAU. HOW'S THE PRESSURE HOLDING UP?

IT'S HIGH, BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT.

HOLD HER STEADY UNTIL WE EQUALIZE THE PRESSURE.

ALL STOP. HOLD TRIM.

THAT CREEP ADMIRAL'S THE ONE THAT SHOT ME IN THE LEG. THIS'LL EVEN THE SCORE.

ARE YOU CRAZY? COME ON.

YOU SHOOT HIM AND THEY'LL LOCK THIS THING SO TIGHT, WE'LL NEVER GET AWAY.

HEY, THIS DON'T LOOK LIKE ANY PLANE WE'VE EVER FLOWN BEFORE.

DON'T WORRY. DON'T WORRY. ALL PLANES ARE THE SAME.

FIRST THING WE DO--

AND NOW--

[ Switch Clicks ] OH, HERE'S A CHECKLIST. LET'S JUST CHECK 'EM OFF.

ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN DO IT? START READING!

"ONE: OPEN KEEL HATCH."

KEEL HATCH OPEN.

"TWO: POWER ON."

POWER ON.

[ Whirring ]

JUST HOLD A COUPLE OF MORE MINUTES. THAT'S ALL I ASK.

IT'S ALL RIGHT SO FAR. EXCUSE ME, SIR. SPARKS JUST GAVE ME THIS.

IT'S FROM WASHINGTON, MARKED "URGENT." OH, THANKS.

DEPTH 5-6-0 FEET.

WE'RE SLOWING DOWN. CHECK THAT.

IT'S STARTING TO PICK UP AGAIN. DEPTH 5-5-0 FEET AND RISING A BIT FASTER.

AS LONG AS WE'RE STILL RISING. WHAT'S WASHINGTON'S PROBLEM?

OH, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TEST FIRING.

THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW SOON THEY CAN EXPECT OUR GUIDANCE CONTROL REPORT.

THEY SHOULD SEE WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL 'EM?

WELL, IT DEPENDS. THE VALVES ARE HOLDING SO FAR, AREN'T THEY? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, OUR-- OUR CHANCES ARE GETTING BETTER EVERY TIME.

ALL RIGHT. IF WE REGAIN FULL CONTROL, THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T GO AHEAD WITH THE TEST.

I'LL NOTIFY WASHINGTON.

[ Thudding ]

THAT'S THE FLYING SUB.

DOBBS AND HAWKINS. THEY'LL KILL THEMSELVES.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEM. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE GUIDANCE DEVICE.

SPARKS, PUT ME THROUGH TO THE FLYING SUB. [ On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

HE'S TRYING TO FLY IT LIKE A PLANE.

SEAVIEW TO FLYING SUB. DOBBS, LET UP ON YOUR LEFT RUDDER.

HE'S GONNA TEACH ME TO FLY.

YOU'RE SLIPPING OUT OF CONTROL! HARD RIGHT!

DO AS HE SAYS! SHUT UP! I'M TRYING!

EASE UP ON THE-- [ Speaker Off ]

BACK YOUR ENGINES. TRY TO SURFACE.

[ Sparks On Speaker ] IT'S NO USE, ADMIRAL. THEY'VE TURNED OFF THE RADIO.

FOOLS. THEY'LL GO STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO GO AFTER THEM TO GET THAT GUIDANCE DEVICE. UH-HUH.

THEY'VE DROPPED BELOW THAT LEDGE OUT OF SIGHT.

POWER'S OFF. THE CONTROLS ARE LOCKED. I CAN'T MOVE THEM!

WE'RE GONNA CRASH.

LOOK!

[ Roaring ]

WHAT IS IT?

[ Switch Clicks ] NELSON! NELSON!

NELSON, CAN YOU HEAR ME? GO AHEAD, DOBBS.

HELP US! SOMETHING'S GOT US!

[ Nelson ] WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW! IT'S-IT'S GIGANTIC! IT'S-IT'S CRUSHING US!

NELSON!

LET'S GO, LEE. WE'LL BE GOING BELOW OUR CRUSH DEPTH.

THAT'S TAKING TOO MUCH OF A CHANCE WITH OUR WEAKENED BALLAST TANKS.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT GUIDANCE DEVICE. IT'S THE PROTOTYPE. THERE ARE NO OTHERS.

HELP US! TAKE IT DOWN, MR. MORTON. ALL THE WAY.

[ Morton ] AYE, SIR. TO THE BOTTOM.

SO FAR SO GOOD. CHIP, KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PANEL.

LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE IN TANK PRESSURE.

THAT THING IS GONNA TEAR US APART!

WHERE IS THAT LOUSY SUBMARINE? NELSON!

NELSON, WE CAN'T LAST MUCH LONGER!

I'M NOT WAITING FOR NO SUBMARINE.

I'M GETTIN' OUT OF HERE BEFORE THAT THING CRUSHES US LIKE AN EGGSHELL.

NO, YOU'RE STAYING! YOU'RE STAYING! YOU OPEN THAT HATCH AND WE'RE DONE FOR!

NOT ON YOUR LIFE, PAL!

SORRY, PAL!

NELSON! NELSON!

[ Nelson ] BE THERE AS QUICK AS WE CAN. THAT MAY NOT BE FAST ENOUGH!

[ Roaring ]

ALL STOP! [ Morton ] ALL STOP.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

[ Crane ] IT'S PLAYING WITH THE FLYING SUB AS IF IT WERE A TOY.

YOU THINK YOU COULD KILL IT WITH A LASER BEAM WITHOUT HITTING THE FLYING SUB?

I THINK SO.

STAND BY TO FIRE FORWARD LASER GUN.

AYE, SIR. FULL LASER POWER ON.

MR. MORTON, LEFT TWO DEGREES RUDDER.

AYE, SIR. TWO DEGREES LEFT RUDDER.

WE'LL NEVER HAVE A BETTER SHOT. LASER, FIRE!

[ Roaring ]

LASER, FIRE!

DOBBS? HAWKINS? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

DOBBS? HAWKINS? YOU ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE OKAY.

SO IS THAT THING. IT'S STILL ALIVE.

LET'S START RECOVERY. RIGHT.

WE'RE IN RECOVERY POSITION, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. BRING HER IN. [ Switches Clicking ]

[ Roaring ]

WE'RE CLEAR OF IT. [ Exhales ]

[ Explosion ]

THE BALLAST TANK. THE MAIN TANK'S EXPLODED!

WE'RE FLOODING, LEE.

4,800 FEET AND DROPPING.

COME ON!

IT'S NO USE! WE CAN'T MANEUVER!

4,900 FEET AND STILL DROPPING.

ENGINE ROOM, CAN YOU REVERSE THE DIVING PLANES?

[ Man On Speaker ] I'VE BEEN TRYING, CAPTAIN. THEY WON'T ANSWER SIGNALS.

THE PRESSURE'S TOO GREAT, LEE. IT MIGHT SNAP OFF. I KNOW.

HOW'S THE EMERGENCY PRESSURE READING?

BAD, CAPTAIN. THE NEEDLE'S PRACTICALLY OFF THE DIAL.

BLEED THE LINE. TIE HER DOWN. AYE, SIR.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.

5,200 FEET AND STILL DROPPING.

[ Hull Creaking ]

5,400 FEET AND NO CHANGE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HOLDING HER TOGETHER, BUT,

WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S NOT GONNA HOLD VERY LONG.

EMPTY PORT BALLAST TANKS IN 10-SECOND BURSTS. AYE, SIR.

WE HAVE TO LIGHTEN SHIP, LEE.

IF WE JETTISON THE TORPEDOES AND THE MISSILES, WE SHOULD JUST ABOUT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

I'LL GET TO WORK ON THE TORPEDOES. YOU GO DOWN TO THE MISSILE ROOM AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

AYE, SIR. OH, ADMIRAL? YES?

WHAT ABOUT DOBBS AND HAWKINS? THEY'RE ON THE FLYING SUB, AND THEY'RE ARMED.

PUT A GUARD ON THE HATCH AND KEEP 'EM THERE FOR THE TIME BEING!

AYE, SIR. KOWALSKI! GET A SIDEARM AND GUARD THE FLYING SUB HATCH.

KEEP THEM DOWN THERE UNTIL THEY'RE READY TO HAND OVER THEIR GUNS. AYE, AYE, SIR.

MR. MORTON, CLOSE ALL WATERTIGHT DOORS AND HATCHES. SHARKEY?

SIR! SEE IF YOU CAN CLOSE THESE DOORS MANUALLY.

AYE, AYE, SIR. [ Morton On Speaker ] CLOSE ALL WATERTIGHT DOORS AND HATCHES.

WATERTIGHT DOORS AND BULKHEAD SECURED, SIR.

TORPEDOES DEACTIVATED AND READY TO JETTISON.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THIS THING SINKS DOWN ANY FURTHER.

ALL RIGHT. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

PASS OUT YOUR GUNS, BUTT FIRST.

SURE. SURE.

THEY'RE NO USE TO US HERE.

[ Gunshot ]

WE'RE STILL LOCKED IN HERE. WE'RE NO BETTER OFF THAN WE WERE.

COME ON. GET THAT. WE'LL GET OUT THE SAME WAY THAT WE CAME IN. COME ON.

DON'T ANYBODY MOVE, AND NOBODY GETS HURT. WE'RE GETTIN' OUT OF HERE.

ALL RIGHT. EVERYBODY AGAINST THAT WALL.

PUT THOSE GUNS AWAY. THERE'S-- THERE'S NO WAY TO GET OUT.

IF WE HAVE TO DO IT OVER DEAD BODIES, WE WILL.

NOW MOVE! NOT YOU, ADMIRAL.

YOU STAY. HAWKINS, GET THE ESCAPE LUNGS AND PUT 'EM IN THE HATCH.

WE'RE GETTIN' OUT OF HERE, ADMIRAL, AND YOU'RE COMING WITH US.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU.

NOW DO YOU GET THE IDEA? YOU'RE COMING.

BUT YOU CAN'T GO OUT THERE. THE PRESSURE'LL KILL YOU.

YOU EXPECT ME TO SWALLOW THAT STUFF? COME ON. WHAT IF HE'S TELLIN' THE TRUTH?

WE DO WHAT I SAY, DUMMY! HE'S LYING!

I'M NOT LYING. YOU WOULDN'T LAST 30 SECONDS.

LISTEN, MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT. MAYBE--

HAWKINS, YOU STUPID, GUTLESS-- GET AWAY FROM HIM! GET AWAY FROM HIM!

- I CAN'T! - GET AWAY FROM HIM!

DON'T GO OUT! I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!

SORRY, PAL. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

[ Water Rushing ]

[ Roaring ]

LEE!

ENGINE ROOM, ALL BACK. EMERGENCY!

[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, AYE, SIR.

- LEE! - YES, ADMIRAL?

WE'VE GOT TO BLAST LOOSE.

MANEUVER US INTO FIRING POSITION. AYE, SIR.

GIVE ME THREE MINUTES TO SET THE MISSILE, THEN I'LL FIRE AT YOUR COMMAND.

RIGHT!

ENGINE ROOM, STAND BY! AYE, SIR.

ADMIRAL, ARE YOU READY TO FIRE?

READY, LEE. ALL RIGHT. ON THE NEXT ROLL WE GO.

[ Groans ] CHIP, GET ON THE PLANES!

ENGINE ROOM! BACK EMERGENCY PORT ENGINE. AHEAD FLANK STARBOARD ENGINE.

FIRE, ADMIRAL! FIRE!

[ Hissing ]

[ Weapon Fires ]

[ Shrieking, Roaring ]

[ Exhales Deeply ] WE'RE FREE.

ALL AHEAD FLANK. [ Man ] ALL AHEAD FLANK.

THAT'S ONLY A 10-SECOND-DELAY FUSE. WE'RE GONNA FEEL A BLAST.

ALL HANDS, BRACE FOR EXPLOSION.

AH, HOW'S KOWALSKI? THE BULLET GRAZED HIM, BUT THE DOC SAYS HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

UH-HUH. BEFORE WE HEAD BACK TO SANTA BARBARA,

LET'S MAKE A 360-DEGREE SWEEP OF THE AREA.

THERE'S A REMOTE POSSIBILITY THAT DOBBS MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.

[ Sighs ] [ Chuckles ] WELL, IF THERE'S ANY CHANCE AT ALL,

WE HAVE TO GIVE IT TO HIM. I SUPPOSE SO.

BUT DO YOU SUPPOSE HE WOULD HAVE DONE AS MUCH FOR US?

I DON'T THINK THE IDEA WOULD EVER HAVE OCCURRED TO HIM. HUMAN LIFE MEANT NO MORE TO HIM THAN--

THAN TO THAT CREATURE. THE TRAGEDY IS DOBBS MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE.

THE CREATURE NEVER HAD A CHANCE. BUT WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE DOBBS DIDN'T EITHER.
