SIR, SPARKS REPORTS THE CARGO PLANE IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.

- HAVE HIM MAINTAIN A STEADY DIRECTIONAL BEAM FOR THE PLANE. - AYE, SIR.

ETHEL.

YES, IT IS. IT'S ETHEL SHARKEY.

DOC!

DOC BRADLEY! HOW ARE YOU? YOU OLD SON OF A GUN!

WELL, THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE. IT'S BEEN... WELL, LET'S FORGET HOW MANY YEARS.

[ Sharkey ] I HEARD THERE WAS A CIVILIAN BOMB EXPERT ABOARD,

BUT I NEVER FIGURED THAT THE SQUINTY LITTLE FOUR-EYED...

YOU SON OF A GUN! HOW ARE YOU? FINE.

I, UH, TAKE IT YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER.

KNOW EACH OTHER? WE WERE KIDS TOGETHER ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE.

WE GREW UP TOGETHER. AND TO THINK THAT ETHEL SHARKEY...

GREW UP TO BE A C.P.O. ON THE SEAVIEW. LISTEN...

- ETHEL SHARKEY? - ETHELBERT.

OH.

FRANCIS ETHELBERT SHARKEY.

[ Sighs ] YES, SIR.

THAT BLIP, SIR, LOOKS LIKE A SUB TO ME.

GET A READING.

IT'S 2,000 YARDS SOUTHWEST.

IT'S MOVING FAST. DEFINITELY A SUB, SIR.

UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT UNDERWATER.

2,000 YARDS SOUTHWEST.

A SUBMARINE?

I THOUGHT WE HAD A WHOLE LINE OF PICKET SHIPS AROUND THE AREA.

WE HAVE, DOCTOR, BUT THIS IS A BIG OCEAN.

SPARKS, CONTACT THAT SUBMARINE.

REQUEST IMMEDIATE RECOGNITION CODE.

ALSO, ALERT THE PICKET SHIPS. AYE, SIR.

[ Crane ] STAND BY TO SOUND GENERAL QUARTERS.

CHIEF, YOUR REUNION WILL HAVE TO WAIT. REPORT TO STATIONS.

AYE, SIR. TALK TO YOU LATER.

WE'RE ON A RENDEZVOUS COURSE TO PICK UP A TOP SECRET CESIUM SEVEN BOMB FROM THAT PLANE.

AN UNIDENTIFIED SUB SHOWS UP. COINCIDENCE?

I DOUBT IT.

CAPTAIN, HEAVY CONCUSSION.

UNDERWATER SHIP-TO-AIR MISSILE.

BATTLE STATIONS! BATTLE STATIONS!

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

THEIR TARGET MUST BE OUR CARGO PLANE.

IF THAT CESIUM BOMB EXPLODES, HALF THE WORLD WILL BE GONE!

MISSILE'S ON INTERCEPT COURSE WITH THE PLANE, SIR. IMPACT IMMINENT.

THE BLIPS ARE GONE, SIR. MUST'VE BEEN A DIRECT HIT.

THE BOMB. DIVE. ALL DIVE!

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

NO BOMB DETONATION.

WELL, IF THE CESIUM SEVEN WERE GONNA GO, WE'D BE WIPED OUT BY NOW.

IT'S STILL OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

PATTERSON, DID YOU GET A FIX ON THE IMPACT POINT?

WELL, AS NEAR AS I CAN FIGURE, CAPTAIN,

THE PLANE MUST HAVE HIT THE WATER ABOUT SIX MILES NORTH-NORTHWEST.

TAKE HER UP TO 90 FEET. PROCEED NORTH-NORTHWEST AT FLANK SPEED.

AYE, SIR. UP BUBBLE FIVE DEGREES. LEVEL OFF AT 90 FEET.

COME TO COURSE 0-7-0. ENGINEERING, GIVE US FLANK SPEED.

[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR. WE'VE GOT TO LOCATE THAT BOMB.

THE ELECTROLYTIC ACTION OF THE SEAWATER WILL ACTIVATE THE FIRING MECHANISM.

- HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE? - NOT MORE THAN FOUR HOURS.

MMM. BETTER ACTIVATE THE ELECTRONIC SCANNING DEVICES.

ACTIVATE ALL ELECTRONIC DETECTION DEVICES. AYE, SIR.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN SPOT THE WRECKAGE FROM THE OBSERVATION NOSE.

KOWALSKI, HAVE YOU LOCATED THAT SUB?

NO, SIR, I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET. IT'S LIKE IT DISAPPEARED.

WELL, WE HAVE JUST THREE AND A HALF HOURS TO FIND IT AND STOP IT.

WELL, YOU'RE THE ALLIED DEFENSE COMMISSION BOMB EXPERT.

CAN YOU DO IT?

I'M NOT SURE. BUT IF I CAN'T...

WE'LL FIND IT FOR YOU. YOU DISARM IT.

ANY FURTHER CONTACT WITH THAT SUB? NO, SIR.

NO FURTHER REPORTS FROM SONAR. THEY'VE PROBABLY LEFT THE AREA.

WHY NOT? THEY DID THEIR JOB.

THAT CESIUM BOMB COULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST DETERRENT TO WAR WE'VE COME UP WITH YET.

WELL, IT-IT STILL MAY BE IF WE CAN CARRY OUT THE ORIGINAL PLAN...

GET IT ABOARD SEAVIEW AND THEN TAKE IT TO OUR UNDERWATER DEFENSE COMPLEX.

WELL, IF WE CAN'T, THIS PART OF THE WORLD WILL BE GONE.

AND THERE'S NO WAY TO GET CLEAR IF SHE EXPLODES? NONE.

THE AVERAGE DEPTH OF THIS WATER IS 800 FEET.

CAN YOU MAKE THE DIVE AND DEACTIVATE AT THAT DEPTH?

I CAN STAND IT IF YOUR DIVING GEAR CAN.

WITH OUR ANTI-COMPRESSION OXYGEN,

I THINK IT CAN.

UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT ON BOTTOM DEAD AHEAD, ADMIRAL. COULD BE THE BOMB.

[ Morton ] ALL STOP.

[ Nelson ] THERE IT IS.

ADMIRAL, IT'S ALREADY ACTIVATED.

POSITION DIRECTLY OVER THE BOMB... 700 FEET.

LEVEL OFF AT 700 FEET, AND HOLD DIRECTLY OVER THE BOMB.

WELL, I'M READY TO GO OUT, ADMIRAL. I'LL NEED ONE MAN TO ASSIST.

MM-HMM. HOW ABOUT, UH...

WHAT ABOUT SHARKEY?

ETHEL? CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER MAN.

LET'S GO.

SKIPPER, THAT SUB'S ON THE MOVE AGAIN APPROACHING AFT.

5-0-5 YARDS AND CLOSING FAST.

SPARKS, TRY TO CONTACT THAT SUB. AYE, SIR.

ACTIVATE AFT CAMERA, TELESCOPIC LENS. AYE, SIR.

"VULCAN"?

WHAT COUNTRY IS THAT? GIVE ME A CHECK ON SUBMARINE VULCAN.

NATIONALITY UNKNOWN.

GENERAL QUARTERS.

MISSILE ROOM, STAND BY TO LOAD MISSILES. AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

INTERNATIONAL MARINE REGISTRY SHOWS NO LISTING FOR A SUBMARINE VULCAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

ALL AHEAD FLANK. TWENTY DEGREES STARBOARD RUDDER.

WE CAN'T LEAVE THE BOMB NOW! IT'LL EXPLODE!

WE'RE A SITTING DUCK HERE. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN MANEUVERABILITY.

TORPEDOES APPROACHING ASTERN!

ALL AHEAD FULL. HARD RIGHT RUDDER.

RETURN FIRE.

MISSILE ROOM, READY TORPEDOES ONE AND TWO. AYE, AYE, SIR.

LOAD TWO!

TORPEDOES APPROACHING ASTERN! LEFT FULL RUDDER!

[ Explosion ]

[ Explosion ]

MISSILE ROOM, FIRE ONE!

FIRE TWO!

SKIPPER, CANNOT... REPEAT... CANNOT FIRE.

MISSILE ROOM, WHAT'S YOUR CONDITION?

NOT TOO GOOD, SIR. THE FIRING MECHANISM IS BURNED OUT.

- HOW LONG TO MAKE REPAIRS? - CAN'T TELL, SIR.

LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR JOB.

WHERE'S THAT SUB? SONAR'S SHORTED OUT, SIR. I CAN'T TRACK HER.

HYDROPHONE? IT'S OUT TOO, SIR.

GET 'EM REPAIRED ON THE DOUBLE. WE'VE GOTTA GET A FIX ON THAT SUB BEFORE IT ATTACKS AGAIN.

AYE, AYE, SIR. CHIP, GET WORK DETAILS WORKING ON THE CIRCUITRY.

FORGET THE MINOR HULL DAMAGE. DOESN'T LOOK GOOD, DOES IT?

LOOK, WE'VE BEEN IN WORSE FIXES.

YES, BUT IF THEY ATTACK AGAIN, WE CAN'T RETALIATE.

WITH THE CIRCUITRY OUT, WE CAN'T FIRE OUR MISSILES.

I'M NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW AS I AM ABOUT THE BOMB.

YOU STILL WILLING TO GO DOWN FOR IT? OF COURSE.

GOOD. LAUNCH THE FLYING SUB AND FIND THE VULCAN.

I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT, BUT KEEP IT BUSY...

SO WE CAN GET BACK TO THE BOMB. RIGHT, SIR.

WELL, COMMANDER? THE SEAVIEW'S APPARENTLY MOTIONLESS IN THE WATER.

- SHALL WE FINISH HER OFF NOW? - WHAT FOR?

OBVIOUSLY, SHE CANNOT FIRE BACK, OR SHE WOULD HAVE DONE SO BY NOW.

- NO, I'D RATHER CAPTURE THAN DESTROY HER. - I'LL ALERT A BOARDING PARTY.

THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR THOSE LESSER DETAILS, COMMANDER.

LESSER, SIR?

THE SEAVIEW WOULD BE A GREAT PRIZE TO TAKE BACK TO OUR HOMELAND.

WITH ONE EXCEPTION.

OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE?

THE CESIUM BOMB. EXACTLY.

WE'VE SUCCEEDED IN BRINGING IT DOWN. WE'VE DISABLED THE SEAVIEW.

NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT IS TO FIND THE BOMB AND BRING IT ON BOARD.

THEN WE SHALL RETURN FOR THE SEAVIEW.

VERY WELL, SIR.

ALL AHEAD STANDARD. COME TO COURSE 1-4-7.

AND PREPARE THE SEARCH FOR THE CESIUM BOMB. YES, SIR.

EVERYTHING OKAY?

THE FLYING SUB'S CHECKED OUT AND READY FOR LAUNCH. GOOD.

NOW, WE'LL BUY ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO GET DOWN TO THAT BOMB.

DON'T, UH, TANGLE WITH THE VULCAN.

YOU HAVE NO WEAPONS HEAVY ENOUGH. JUST TRY TO KEEP HER BUSY.

RIGHT. WILL DO.

DOCTOR, MIGHT AS WELL GET YOU SUITED UP AND READY FOR YOUR DIVE.

- PREPARE TO LAUNCH. - [ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

LAUNCH. AYE, SIR.

MR. VADIM, THE SEAVIEW HAS JUST LAUNCHED A MINIATURE SUB.

PROBABLY A FLYING SUBMARINE. WHAT'S HER COURSE?

2-3-0. ALTER COURSE... 2-3-0.

YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW HER? OF COURSE.

THE FLYING SUB IS IDEAL FOR LANDING ALONGSIDE THE BOMB AND DISARMING IT.

ALTER COURSE AND INCREASE SPEED TO FLANK. VERY WELL, SIR.

RONNIE, CHECK OUT THAT LUNG.

[ Morton ] CONTROL TO MISSILE ROOM. HYDROPHONE'S OPERATIVE AGAIN.

WE'VE PICKED UP THE VULCAN. SHE'S TRAILING THE FLYING SUB.

WHAT'S THE POSITION OF THE BOMB?

APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES TO THE NORTHEAST, SIR.

COME ABOUT AND HEAD FOR IT AT FLANK SPEED. AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Beeping ]

LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING, SKIPPER. THAT MUST BE THE VULCAN TRAILING US.

UH-HUH. SHE'S PICKED UP OUR TRAIL, ALL RIGHT.

DO WE GO TO FLANK SPEED AND MAKE A RUN FOR IT?

NO. WE'LL HOLD AT ONE-THIRD AND START A SEARCH PATTERN.

THAT'LL PULL THE VULCAN AWAY FROM THE BOMB AREA. I GET IT, SKIPPER.

WE'LL MAKE THE VULCAN BELIEVE WE'RE SEARCHING FOR THE BOMB OURSELVES.

THAT'S THE IDEA.

I WAS JUST THINKING, SKIPPER.

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP HER FOOLED FOREVER.

JUST LONG ENOUGH TO LET THE SEAVIEW PICK UP THAT BOMB.

WHAT IF WE CAN'T KEEP HER FOOLED...

AND SHE GOES AFTER THE SEAVIEW AGAIN? THEN WE'LL GO AFTER THE VULCAN.

SKIPPER, WE'VE GOT NO WEAPONS ABOARD TO ATTACK THAT SUB WITH.

- THEY'LL BLOW US OUT OF THE WATER. - I KNOW, KOWALSKI.

BUT THOSE ARE OUR ORDERS... KEEP THE VULCAN OCCUPIED NO MATTER WHAT.

YES, SIR.

[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping Rapidly ]

WE'VE GOT IT. THAT'S THE CESIUM BOMB.

YOU KNOW, DOC, GOING OUT ON THIS DIVE WITH YOU TAKES ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO GO DIVING INTO THE EAST RIVER?

I SURE DO. ONLY THIS TIME...

IT'S A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT THAN PICKING UP BOTTLES OR PIECES OF METALLIC JUNK...

FOR THE FEW CENTS THAT WE COULD SELL 'EM FOR.

IT SURE IS. NOW, LISTEN, ABOUT THIS BOMB, WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE IN FOR?

WELL, IT'S GOT THREE DETERRENT DEVICES ON IT.

HERE, HOLD ON TO THIS. WE MAY NEED IT FOR THE SECOND FUSE.

THAT'S A PRETTY RUGGED CONTRAPTION WE'LL BE FOOLING AROUND WITH, HUH?

HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED. ALMOST HUMAN IN ITS SENSITIVITY.

THE WORD IS "HANDLE WITH CARE."

[ Morton On Speaker ] CONTROL ROOM TO ADMIRAL.

WE HAVE A FIX ON THE CESIUM BOMB.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S HAVE IT. 200 YARDS OFF THE PORT BOW.

IT'S STILL AT 800-FOOT DEPTH. GOOD.

ALL STOP. HOLD TRIM. AYE, AYE, SIR.

SET? YES, SIR.

READY TO GO. WE'LL KEEP IN RADIO CONTACT, AND GOOD LUCK.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WHAT'S THE COURSE AND DISTANCE ON THAT FLYING SUBMARINE?

0-8-0 AT A THOUSAND YARDS. THEN WE'VE BEEN TRICKED.

SIR? THAT'S FROM OUR AGENT ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.

THE HOMING DEVICE HE HAS WITH HIM.

HIS ORDERS WERE TO ACTIVATE IT AS SOON AS THEY'VE LOCATED THE BOMB.

BUT THE FLYING SUBMARINE. WE'VE BEEN DECOYED.

PREPARE LASER BEAM FOR IMMEDIATE FIRING.

YES, SIR.

PREPARE LASER BEAM TO FIRE. [ Man On Speaker ] YES, SIR.

COURSE 0-8-0. ALL AHEAD FLANK.

WE'LL BLOW THAT FLYING SUB OUT OF THE WATER.

BRADLEY CALLING THE SEAVIEW. WE'RE AT THE BOMB NOW.

THE FIRING MECHANISM'S ALREADY ACTIVATED.

THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING HOW LONG WE HAVE UNTIL BLAST TIME.

CAN YOU REVERSE IT, BRADLEY?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE'LL START DEACTIVATION.

WE MIGHT AS WELL. THERE'S NO PLACE ANY OF US CAN RUN TO NOW.

SEEMS LIKE WE'RE DOING ALL RIGHT, SKIPPER. MM-HMM.

ANY PARTICULAR COURSE YOU WANT SET NOW? NO, NO.

WE'LL JUST KEEP OUR REGULAR SEARCH PATTERN GOING.

[ Sighs ]

THE SEAVIEW SHOULD HAVE FOUND THE BOMB BY NOW. AND DR. BRADLEY WILL...

[ Beeping Rapidly ]

THE VULCAN'S STARTING TO CLOSE IN, SIR.

AND AT FLANK SPEED. LOOKS LIKE OUR TIME AS A DECOY IS ABOUT OVER.

- DO WE TRY TO OUTRUN HER, SIR? - NO.

WE'LL STILL TRY TO STALL FOR TIME.

YES, SIR.

MR. VADIM?

WE'RE CLOSING IN ON THE FLYING SUBMARINE RAPIDLY, SIR.

WHAT'S OUR DISTANCE? 400 YARDS.

- LOCK IN YOUR SIGHTS. - YES, SIR.

- LOCK IN YOUR LASER BEAMS. - [ Man On Speaker ] YES, SIR.

250 YARDS, SIR. THAT'LL DO NICELY. FIRE.

FIRE!

[ Ticking ]

HOLD IT, SHARKEY. IF SHE EVER SLIPS...

I'VE GOT IT, DOC.

LOOK OUT, DOC. SHE'S SLIPPING.

GET IT OFF ME, SHARKEY!

I'LL GET IT, DOC.

GET READY TO MOVE OUT.

THE BOMB. SOMETHING'S WRONG.

[ Ticking Rapidly ]

IT'S GOING WILD, SHARKEY. APPROACHING DETONATION.

THE BOMB'S GOING TO EXPLODE.

THE CONTROL SETTING TO YOUR RIGHT... MOVE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

[ Ticking Slows Down ] GOOD WORK, DOC. SHE'S DEFUSED.

NO. ONLY PARTIALLY DEACTIVATED.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?

SO FAR AS I KNOW, NONE. IT CAN GO ANY MINUTE.

[ Sharkey ] IT'S NOT MOVING. I CAN'T GET THE BOMB TO BUDGE.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP, SIR?

YOU CAN LAY AFT TO THE MISSILE ROOM, SEND DOWN THE HOIST GEAR.

IF WE CAN GET THE BOMB OFF BRADLEY, HE STILL MIGHT BE ABLE TO PREVENT DETONATION.

WHAT ABOUT THE FLYING SUB? NO TRACK ON HER, SIR.

THE LAST FIX INDICATED THAT SHE WAS HEADING FOR THE BOTTOM.

SPARKS, SEE IF YOU CAN CONTACT THE FLYING SUB. AYE, SIR.

WHERE'S VULCAN?

SHE'S COME TO A DEAD STOP, SIR,

APPROXIMATELY OVER THE POSITION WHERE THE FLYING SUB WENT DOWN.

I CAN'T BUDGE IT. [ Nelson On Radio ] CHIEF? BRADLEY?

THE HOIST GEAR'S COMING DOWN TO YOU.

WE'LL GET THE BOMB ABOARD SEAVIEW, AND THE TWO OF YOU MAKE IT UP HERE ON THE DOUBLE.

SHARKEY, HERE IT COMES. GRAB IT.

WE'VE GOT THE HOIST, SIR. I'LL SIGNAL WHEN IT'S ATTACHED.

AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE DOC. I'LL HAVE HIM ABOARD IN NO TIME.

[ Both Groaning ]

[ Coughing ]

WHAT HAPPENED, SIR? THEY MUST HAVE HIT US WITH A LASER BEAM.

[ Switches Clicking ]

EVERYTHING'S OUT.

FS-1 TO SEAVIEW.

FS-1 TO SEAVIEW. DO YOU READ ME? OVER.

FS-1 TO SEAVIEW. IF WE'RE GETTING THROUGH, GIVE US A SIGNAL.

REPEAT. IF YOU READ US, GIVE US A SIGNAL. OH!

THE RADIO'S DEAD.

[ Clanking ]

WHAT'S THAT, SKIPPER? SOUNDS LIKE THE DIVING BELL.

[ Chuckles ] THE SEAVIEW MUST HAVE FOUND US AND SENT THE BELL DOWN.

LET'S NOT KEEP 'EM WAITING. COME ON.

GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN. PLEASE COME ABOARD.

YOU MAY NOW CONSIDER YOURSELVES TO BE GUESTS OF THE SUBMARINE VULCAN.

EASY, NOW. PUT IT DOWN OVER HERE.

DON'T JAR IT.

THEY'RE BACK. GIVE ME A HAND HERE.

YOU BADLY HURT? NO, I THINK I'M ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, CHIEF?

NOTHING WRONG WITH ME THAT SHUTTING DOWN THAT BOMB WON'T CURE.

COME ON. GET THE SHIP'S DOCTOR ON THE DOUBLE.

NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND. THERE'S NO TIME.

WE STILL HAVE THE BOMB TO WORRY ABOUT.

I THOUGHT YOU DEFUSED IT. ONLY ONE CONTROL. THERE'S STILL TWO MORE.

THE ELECTROLYTIC ACTION OF THE SEAWATER'S STILL AFFECTING IT.

IF IT CONTINUES, WE'VE ONLY GOT MINUTES TO DEACTIVATE IT.

WE HAVE THE CREW OF THE SEAVIEW FLYING SUBMARINE, MR. VADIM.

CAPTAIN CRANE AND SEAMAN KOWALSKI. WELCOME ABOARD, CAPTAIN.

BEING SHOT DOWN AND TAKEN PRISONER AT THE POINT OF A GUN...

IS NOT MY IDEA OF A WELCOME.

- WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU SERVING? - THAT IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

WHAT DOES CONCERN US IS THE CESIUM BOMB.

I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN CONVINCING ADMIRAL NELSON...

THAT ANY RESISTANCE IS USELESS.

THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING YOU.

I THINK I'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND.

LOOK HERE.

HERE ARE THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE VULCAN AND THE SEAVIEW.

THE SEAVIEW IS HELPLESS TO FIRE UPON US,

WHILE WE, AS YOU KNOW, HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH FIREPOWER TO DESTROY HER.

- BUT YOU WON'T. - WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

THEY MUST HAVE THE CESIUM SEVEN ABOARD BY NOW.

IF YOU DESTROY THE SEAVIEW, THE BOMB GOES WITH IT.

THAT MEANS THAT YOU AND THE VULCAN WILL GO TOO.

I WOULDN'T HESITATE A MOMENT...

IF IT MEANT KEEPING THE BOMB OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY'S POSSESSION.

THAT'S YOUR CHOICE. MINE IS TO KEEP QUIET.

HOW ABOUT YOU, SAILOR?

ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR SO UNIMPORTANT A REQUEST?

YOU HEARD THE SKIPPER. I'M WITH HIM. [ Beeping ]

[ Man ] THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING WITH THE BOMB, SIR.

OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO DEACTIVATE IT. WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE OUR PLANS.

TAKE THEM TO THE BRIG.

WE'LL GET TO THEM LATER WHEN WE HAVE MORE TIME.

A GREAT DEAL OF UNNECESSARY EXERTION, GENTLEMEN.

TAKE THEM AWAY.

SHARKEY'S ALREADY DEACTIVATED THIS FUSE CONTROL.

THERE ARE TWO MORE.

ONE UP HERE ON THE CASING, AND YOUR OTHER BEHIND THIS METAL PLATE.

WE HAVE TO DEFUSE BOTH OF THEM? WE DO.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED. SHARKEY, LET'S HAVE THE DEFUSING TOOL.

SURE.

NOW, WE HAVE TO TAKE IT EASY ON THESE TWO.

ONE SLIP, ONE JAR, AND OFF SHE GOES.

[ On Speaker ] ADMIRAL, THIS IS MORTON.

WOULD YOU COME TO THE CONTROL ROOM, PLEASE? TELL HIM I CAN'T MAKE IT, CHIEF.

COMMANDER, THIS IS CHIEF SHARKEY. THE ADMIRAL'S WORKING ON THE BOMB.

HE CAN'T POSSIBLY MAKE IT UP THERE RIGHT NOW.

CHIEF, TELL THE ADMIRAL IT'S VITALLY URGENT THAT HE GETS UP HERE.

IF HE DOESN'T, NOTHING HE DOES WITH THE BOMB WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

ALL RIGHT, YOU TAKE OVER. SHARKEY WILL HELP YOU. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SIR.

THE VULCAN'S COMING TOWARD US AT FLANK SPEED.

MAINTAIN A FIX ON HER. AYE, SIR.

SPARKS, ARE YOU STILL GETTING THAT FREQUENCY? YES, SIR.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO BREAK DOWN, BUT IT'S THERE ALL RIGHT.

KEEP TRYING TO PIN IT DOWN. YES, SIR.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE, CHIP? TWO THINGS.

THE VULCAN'S COMING TOWARD US AT FLANK SPEED.

I'VE THROWN OUT ANTI-SONAR AND ANTI-HYDROPHONE BARRIERS,

BUT SHE'S COMING STRAIGHT AT US AS THOUGH SHE HAD EYES.

MM-HMM. WHAT'S THE OTHER THING?

SPARKS HAS PICKED UP A HIGH-FREQUENCY BEAM SIMILAR TO A HOMING DEVICE.

I THINK THE VULCAN'S COMING IN ON IT. A BEAM FROM SEAVIEW?

YES, SIR. WHAT'S THE LOCATION?

ALL HE KNOWS IS IT'S SOMEWHERE AFT.

IT ACTIVATED ABOUT THE TIME WE BROUGHT THE BOMB ABOARD.

MM-HMM. WELL, LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.

SPARKS, YOU SURE ABOUT THAT FREQUENCY?

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SIR. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

WELL, IT DOES IF VULCAN WAS ABLE TO PLANT A HOMING DEVICE ABOARD SEAVIEW.

- BUT WHEN COULD THEY HAVE DONE IT? - I DON'T KNOW WHEN... OR HOW.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT'S HERE AND IT'S DIRECTING VULCAN TOWARD US.

ANY CHANCE OF JAMMING THAT FREQUENCY?

WELL, I HAVE TO MODIFY EQUIPMENT.

- POSSIBLY IN AN HOUR OR SO I COULD DO IT. - NO, NO, NOT ENOUGH TIME.

WHAT ABOUT OUR MISSILE FIRING CAPACITY?

THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE BURNED-OUT CIRCUITRY.

ANY WORD FROM THE FLYING SUB? NO, SIR.

TRY TO CONTACT VULCAN.

I'LL SPEAK TO WHOEVER'S IN COMMAND. AYE, SIR.

S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW CALLING VULCAN.

S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW CALLING VULCAN.

ADMIRAL NELSON WISHES TO SPEAK WITH YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER. OVER.

S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW CALLING THE SUBMARINE VULCAN.

OVER.

S.S.N.R. SEAVIEW CALLING VULCAN.

ADMIRAL NELSON REQUESTS PERMISSION TO SPEAK WITH YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER.

OVER. I THINK I SHOULD TALK TO THE GOOD ADMIRAL, HUH?

THIS IS MR. VADIM OF THE VULCAN.

GOOD TO TALK TO YOU AT LONG LAST, ADMIRAL.

YOU'RE APPROACHING US AT FLANK SPEED.

WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS, MR. VADIM?

SIMPLICITY ITSELF. I INTEND TO TAKE THE CESIUM BOMB.

THERE'LL BE NO BOMB NOR SEAVIEW NOR VULCAN...

IF YOU DON'T LET US GET ON AND DEACTIVATE IT.

COME, COME, ADMIRAL. THAT'S THE OLDEST GAMBIT IN THE WORLD.

IF THAT BOMB WERE GOING TO GO OFF, IT WOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG BEFORE THIS.

IT'S ACTIVATED NOW!

THERE ARE LESS THAN 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT EXPLODES.

AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, ADMIRAL. I AM PREPARING A BOARDING PARTY.

I TELL YOU, THE BOMB IS GOING TO EXPLODE.

NOW, WILL YOU VEER OFF AND LET US DEACTIVATE IT?

FIFTEEN MINUTES, YOU SAY?

THAT'S RIGHT. VERY WELL.

YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR TIME. I WILL RECONTACT YOU THEN.

SHALL I REDUCE SPEED, SIR? CERTAINLY NOT.

CONTINUE ON COURSE. WHEN WE REACH 500 YARDS, OPEN FIRE WITH THE LASER BEAM.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM, SIR?

NOT FOR A MOMENT. THE ADMIRAL'S NO FOOL.

HE'S MERELY STALLING FOR TIME SO HE CAN REPAIR HIS MISSILE SYSTEMS AND ATTACK US.

PREPARE THE LASER GUN.

PREPARE LASER BEAM. [ Man On Speaker ] PREPARE LASER BEAM. YES, SIR.

CALL YOUR DISTANCE.

600 YARDS.

550 YARDS.

500 YARDS.

FIRE. FIRE!

[ Ticking Rapidly ]

DOC, IT'S GONNA BLOW!

WHERE'S THE DEFUSING TOOL?

THERE IT IS. HURRY UP!

[ Whirring ]

DOC, THERE'S SOME WIRING IN THIS THING. IT'S A NEUTRALIZER.

IT GROUNDS THE TOOL TO KEEP IT FROM SETTING OFF THE BOMB BY ELECTRONIC IMPULSE.

[ Ticking Slows Down ]

WELL, THAT... THAT'LL HOLD US FOR A BIT. ABOUT 22 MINUTES.

WHAT IS OUR CONDITION? POWER'S OUT IN ALL ENGINES.

REACTOR CONTROL'S DAMAGED. HULL AND CIRCUITRY A-OKAY.

WELL, NOW, OUR FRIENDS ABOARD THE VULCAN ARE APPARENTLY PROCEEDING ACCORDING TO PLAN.

STAND BY TO REPEL BOARDERS.

NOW HEAR THIS. ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS. PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS.

ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS. PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS.

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

WHAT ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS? THEY'RE OPERATING NORMALLY, SIR.

HMM. ANY WORD YET FROM CAPTAIN CRANE?

NEGATIVE, SIR.

[ Sighs ] HOW ABOUT THAT, UH, HOMING SIGNAL?

ANY IDEA WHERE IT'S COMING FROM?

WELL, YOU CAN LISTEN FOR YOURSELF, SIR.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE, BUT IF I HAD TO MAKE A GUESS,

I'D SAY IT WAS COMING FROM THE MISSILE ROOM.

MMM.

WHAT IS OUR POSITION, MR. ZANE?

400 YARDS ASTERN, 700 FEET ABOVE THE SEAVIEW.

AND HER CONDITION?

LYING DEAD ON THE BOTTOM, SIR.

VERY SATISFACTORY. COME TO A DEAD STOP.

WE SHALL ALLOW ADMIRAL NELSON A FEW MOMENTS TO ASSESS HIS HELPLESS POSITION,

AND THEN WE SHALL RECONTACT.

ALL STOP. NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.

[ Man On Speaker ] NEUTRAL BUOYANCY, SIR.

YOU KNOW, MR. ZANE, I HAVE A FEELING OUR ASSIGNMENT IS COMING TO AN END.

WITHIN THE HOUR, THE CESIUM BOMB AND THE SEAVIEW SHALL BE OURS.

HOW'S IT GOING?

WE STILL HAVE TWO DEVICES TO DEFUSE, AND WE'VE ONLY GOT ABOUT 18 MINUTES TO DO IT.

LET'S HOPE THAT'S ON THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE.

CHIEF, START SEARCHING THIS ROOM FOR A HOMING DEVICE.

[ Sharkey ] HOMING DEVICE? THERE'S A HIGH-FREQUENCY BEAM LEADING THE VULCAN TO US.

SPARKS THINKS IT'S COMING FROM THIS AREA. NOW, LOOK FOR THE TRANSMITTER AND FIND IT.

AYE, AYE, SIR. YOU TWO MEN HEARD THE ADMIRAL.

COVER THAT AREA. RAY, RON... COME WITH ME.

SOLID STEEL.

NO WAY OUT EXCEPT THROUGH THAT DOOR.

THEN THAT'S THE WAY WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE. THAT'S FINE WITH ME, SKIPPER.

JUST GIVE ME AN IDEA HOW WE WANGLE IT.

WELL, IF THEY WON'T LET US OUT,

MAYBE WE CAN INVITE SOMEONE IN.

GIVE ME A HAND WITH THIS, ALL RIGHT? LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THAT.

[ Grunts ]

OKAY. NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

EXTEND OUR INVITATION.

WELL, ONE MORE TO GO.

IT'S UNDERNEATH THIS METAL PLATE. UH-HUH.

[ Whirring ]

SHARKEY, BELAY THE SEARCH.

WE'VE FOUND OUR HOMING DEVICE.

WHERE'D YOU FIND THAT THING, SIR?

THAT? DOC SAID IT WAS A NEUTRALIZING GIMMICK FOR THE BOMB.

[ Whirring Stops ]

HEY, DOC, YOU COULDN'T BE...

YOU'RE WORKING FOR...

WHY, YOU ROTTEN...

I WAS... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

ADMIRAL, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.

THE BOMB DOES. NOW, GIVE ME A HAND. AYE, SIR.

GET THAT UNDER THERE. YES, SIR.

HELP! HELP!

COME ON! LET US OUT OF HERE!

HELP! HERE HE COMES NOW!

[ Kowalski ] STOP THE STEAM!

COME ON! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

HOW MUCH TIME, SIR?

LESS THAN EIGHT MINUTES.

- IT'S GOING! IT'S GOING! WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED! - TAKE HIM!

LET GO! WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED! WE'RE GONNA BE...

[ Clinking ]

ALL RIGHT, GET THAT CREWMAN IN HERE.

WOW. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IN HERE WE COULD USE, SKIPPER.

ALL RIGHT. NOW, LOOK FOR DYNAMITE, EXPLOSIVES, T.N.T.

ANYTHING YOU CAN FIND THAT WE CAN DISABLE THIS SUB. RIGHT.

THERE'S NOTHING HERE, SKIPPER.

EXCEPT SOME GRENADES. MAYBE THEY'LL WORK FOR US.

KEEP LOOKING. IF WE CAN FIND AN EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND OF SOME KIND, WE...

GET OVER THERE.

[ Man ] YOU. WHAT DO YOU WANT IN THE ARMORY?

I'M LOOKING FOR SOME SPECIAL GEAR FOR THE BOARDING PARTY.

WELL, HURRY! YOU'RE ASSIGNED TO MY DETAIL, AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO SHOVE OFF.

BE RIGHT WITH YA.

BANDAR, HELP! HELP!

BANDAR, BREAK FOR THE DOOR! I'VE GOT A GRENADE!

KOWALSKI!

HE'S PULLED THE PIN!

FIND IT. IT'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.

SKIPPER, IF YOU RELEASE YOUR HAND, THAT THING'LL GO OFF.

LOOK, I'VE GOT MY HAND ON THE LEVER. NOW FIND IT.

HERE IT IS, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. NOW REPLACE IT.

EASY, EASY. [ Exhales ]

CAPTAIN, WE DON'T KNOW HOW THIS GRENADE WORKS.

EVEN IF I REPLACE THIS PIN, THIS THING MAY STILL GO OFF.

IT'S STILL A CHANCE WE HAVE TO TAKE. NOW PUT IT IN THERE.

ALL RIGHT. NOW, I'M GONNA THROW THIS GRENADE IN THE CORRIDOR.

IF IT EXPLODES, THERE'S STILL A CHANCE WE CAN GET AWAY FROM HERE.

NOW, HIT THE DECK.

I GUESS IT WORKED, SIR. WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.

THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR THESE MEN. COME ON.

HERE, TAKE THESE MASKS.

AND SOME OF THESE GAS GRENADES.

IF WE MOVE FAST ENOUGH,

THERE'S STILL A CHANCE WE CAN GIVE MR. VADIM A LITTLE TROUBLE.

SEAVIEW, THIS IS THE VULCAN.

ADMIRAL NELSON, WE ARE PREPARING TO BOARD THE SEAVIEW.

STAND BY FOR BOARDING PARTY.

GET ME A MIKE, WILL YOU, CHIEF? AYE, SIR.

HOLD IT FOR ME.

I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE,

THIS BOMB IS ACTIVATED.

WE ONLY GOT SIX MINUTES LEFT BEFORE IT EXPLODES.

I STILL DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

THEN YOU'RE WELCOME TO JOIN YOUR MAN BRADLEY...

AND THE REST OF US IN ETERNITY WHEN IT GOES.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO PROCEED.

ANY SHOW OF RESISTANCE ON YOUR PART, AND WE SHALL KILL OUR TWO PRISONERS...

CAPTAIN CRANE AND SEAMAN KOWALSKI.

[ Sighs ]

YOU ARE A FOOL!

IF YOU WANNA SAVE ALL OF OUR LIVES, THEN LAY OFF TILL WE GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

THAT'S ALL.

DAMAGE CONTROL REPORTS THE TORPEDO FIRING CIRCUITRY IS PARTIALLY REPAIRED.
