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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
