SKIPPER, SPARKS IS GETTING AN S.O.S. FROM THE COLUMBINE.

BRITISH REGISTRY. SHE'S BREAKING UP IN A GALE, AND SHE'S YELLING FOR HELP.

HERE ARE THE COORDINATES. VERY GOOD, CHIEF.

WHAT'S THE COLUMBINE'S POSITION?

RIGHT HERE.

WE'D HAVE A GOOD THREE-HOUR RUN TO REACH HER, EVEN AT FLANK SPEED.

ANY OTHER SHIPS IN THIS AREA? NONE. WE'RE FOUR HOURS CLOSER THAN ANY OF THEM.

I'D INFORM THE COLUMBINE WE'RE PROCEEDING AT FLANK SPEED TO HER RESCUE.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN RUN THAT LONG AT FLANK.

WE'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE REACTOR. IT WOULDN'T STAND THE STRAIN.

-WE'LL HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT RISK. ORDER A CHANGE OF COURSE. -HOW CAN I GIVE THAT ORDER?

IT COULD COST US THE SHIP.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION, LEE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS.

THE COLUMBINE IS NOT AN ORDINARY SHIP. SHE'S A RESEARCH VESSEL ON A CONFIDENTIAL MISSION.

SHE'S CARRYING HALF A DOZEN OF THE FINEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS IN THE WORLD.

WE CAN'T LOSE THOSE MEN, LEE, EVEN IF WE HAVE TO RISK SEAVIEW TO SAVE THEM.

ENGINE ROOM, ALL AHEAD FLANK. FULL AHEAD.

[ Man On Speaker ] ALL AHEAD FLANK. AYE, SIR.

THE REACTOR WON'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS, SIR.

COULDN'T WE SLOW TO STANDARD JUST AT LEAST FOR AN HOUR?

NO.

WE-- WE CAN'T.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO RUN AT FLANK.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Humming, Buzzing ]

- SKIPPER, THIS IS KOWALSKI IN THE REACTOR ROOM CORRIDOR. - WHAT IS IT, KOWALSKI?

SIR, THERE'S A MALFUNCTION IN THE REACTOR. THE PILE IS RUNNING WILD.

SKIPPER, IT'S GOING CRITICAL. IT'S GONNA BLOW.

- CLEAR OUT OF THE AREA! SEAL OFF THE COMPARTMENT! QUICK! - AYE, AYE, SIR!

ENGINE ROOM, SLOW TO STANDARD.

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

COME ON! HIT IT!

FIRE DETAIL, LAY DOWN TO THE REACTOR CORRIDOR ON THE DOUBLE.

CHIEF. SIR?

TAKE CHARGE OF THAT DETAIL. AYE, AYE, SIR.

BRING THE EMERGENCY BLOWERS UP FULL. GET THAT SMOKE OUT OF HERE!

SLOW TO ONE-THIRD.

HOLD AT THIS TRIM. [ Man On Speaker ] ALL SLOW TO ONE-THIRD. AYE.

YOU OKAY, SKI? CAN YOU STAND?

YEAH, I'M OKAY. JUST HELP ME UP.

NO BONES BROKEN? YOU'RE SURE NOW?

NO, NO, I'M OKAY.

I'LL LEND A HAND WITH THE FIRE DETAIL.

JUST SIMMER DOWN AND LAY UP TO SICK BAY.

I DON'T NEED ANY DOC. YOU WILL IF YOU DON'T OBEY ORDERS. NOW MOVE IT.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I'M ON MY WAY.

[ Coughs ]

ALL RIGHT, MEN, LET'S GET IN THERE AND PUT THAT FIRE OUT.

HOW BAD IS IT? I DON'T KNOW. I'M WAITING FOR THE REPORT.

ALL RIGHT, MEN, SECURE THE DETAIL.

-SKIPPER, THIS IS CHIEF SHARKEY. I'VE GOT A DAMAGE REPORT. -LET'S HAVE IT, CHIEF.

NO DAMAGE TO THE REACTOR THAT CAN'T BE PATCHED, BUT WE'VE GOT TO SHUT DOWN THE PILE.

WHY? THAT'D MEAN THE LOSS OF AT LEAST FOUR HOURS.

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF SHUTTING DOWN THE PILE?

THERE'S A LOOSE VALVE INSIDE THE PILE ITSELF.

ENGINEERING SAYS IT'LL GO CRITICAL AGAIN IF IT'S NOT CLOSED.

TO FIX THE VALVE, THEY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE PILE. THEY SAY THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.

DON'T LET THEM SHUT DOWN THE PILE. I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS.

- TELL ENGINEERING TO STAND BY FOR FURTHER ORDERS. - AYE, AYE, SIR.

IF YOU'RE THINKING OF GOING INTO THAT PILE YOURSELF, FORGET IT.

ORDERS OR NO ORDERS, I CAN'T LET YOU EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THAT MUCH RADIATION.

I'VE GOT TO TRY TO GET THE VALVE CLOSED. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE.

I KNOW MY WAY AROUND INSIDE THAT PILE BLINDFOLDED.

YOU'D HAVE TO. TELL SHARKEY I'M ON MY WAY.

[ Man On Speaker ] SKIPPER, WE'RE STILL RECEIVING DISTRESS CALLS FROM THE COLUMBINE.

HER MASTER WANTS TO KNOW IF THEY CAN EXPECT HELP SOON.

TELL COLUMBINE WE'RE DOING OUR BEST.

I DON'T KNOW YET HOW SOON WE CAN REACH THEM. AYE, SIR.

IT'S A VALVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE OUTPUT LINE.

I CAN REACH IT WITH A NUMBER FOUR WRENCH. LET'S HAVE A NUMBER FOUR.

THAT RADIATION IS AWFUL HIGH IN THERE.

THAT GEAR MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH.

CAN'T YOU DO IT ANY OTHER WAY WITHOUT STICKING YOUR HAND INSIDE?

[ Chuckles ] I WISH I COULD.

UH, KEEP THE MEN WELL BACK. WE DON'T WANT TO RISK UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, MOVE.

DECONTAMINATE THAT.

YOUR HAND OKAY, SIR?

SEEMS TO BE.

CONTROL ROOM.

ADMIRAL. HAVE YOU FIXED IT?

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE TROUBLE WITH THE PILE. RESUME COURSE AT FLANK SPEED.

- HOW MUCH RADIATION DID YOU TAKE? - ENOUGH.

IT WAS, UH-- IT WAS ONLY ON MY RIGHT HAND.

WELL, YOU'D BETTER HAVE DOC TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I INTEND TO.

WILL YOU GET US UNDER WAY, LEE! WE HAVE TO REACH THAT SHIP. AYE, SIR.

YOU'D BETTER GO TO SICK BAY WITH THAT, SIR.

YOU'D BETTER GET THIS PLACE CLEANED UP.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

COLUMBINE'S HERE IN THIS AREA.

ABOUT, UH, TWO HOURS AWAY.

WELL, WHAT'S THE LATEST WORD FROM THE CAPTAIN? THEY'RE STILL SHIPPING WATER.

BUT HE THINKS HE CAN STAY AFLOAT AS LONG AS THREE MORE HOURS.

[ Grumbles ] WELL, THAT'S CUTTING IT PRETTY FINE. BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT.

SO DO I. WE'VE GOT THEM ON THE RADAR NOW.

- WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME DOWN TO THE CONTROL ROOM AND LOOK? - NO. I DON'T THINK SO.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO THERE.

I'M, UH-- I'M SUDDENLY TIRED.

- THE RADIATION? - NO, NO, IT'S NOT RADIATION SICKNESS.

IT'S JUST, UH-- JUST WEARINESS.

WELL, UM, WHY DON'T YOU LIE DOWN AND TAKE A REST?

I'LL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE APPROACH THE COLUMBINE.

YEAH, I THINK I WILL. THANKS.

I'LL CALL YOU. YEAH. YEAH.

[ Sighs ]

CHIEF SHARKEY.

[ Nelson On Speaker ] SHARKEY.

- YES, ADMIRAL? - WILL YOU COME TO MY CABIN, PLEASE?

- AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. - AYE, AYE, SIR.

LOCK YOU IN, SIR?

I-I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I SAID YOU'RE TO LOCK ME IN HERE.

AND DON'T LET ME OUT AGAIN FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR.

IS-IS THAT CLEAR?

NO, SIR, IT-- IT ISN'T.

PERHAPS THIS'LL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND.

WHEN, UH--

- WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN, SIR? - A FEW MOMENTS AGO.

NOW WILL YOU LOCK ME IN HERE!

AYE, SIR.

YOU'RE TO TELL THIS TO NO ONE.

I WANT YOUR WORD ON IT!

YOU-- YOU HAVE IT, SIR.

MOVE OUT!

AYE, SIR.

THERE'S NO MEDICATION KNOWN FOR THE SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

HE SEEMS TO KEEP CHANGING FROM HUMAN BEING TO WEREWOLF AND BACK AGAIN.

[ Nelson ] IS IT HAPPENING TO ME, THE VIRUS?

LOOK WHAT IT DID TO HIM.

TURNED HIM INTO A-- INTO A BEAST...

AND KILLED HIM.

IS IT HAPPENING TO ME? HAS IT ALREADY BEGUN?

NO. NO. PLEASE!

[ Growling ]

SKIPPER, SPARKS JUST RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE...

FROM THE CAPTAIN OF THE COLUMBINE.

VERY WELL. OH, UH, KOWALSKI. YES, SIR?

TAKE THIS TO THE ADMIRAL. HE'S IN HIS QUARTERS.

TELL HIM I HAVE A PLAN, AND I WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT. AYE, AYE, SIR.

SKI, HOLD IT. YEAH, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

LOOK, I'LL TAKE THAT MESSAGE TO THE ADMIRAL.

I'M SORRY, SHARKEY. THE SKIPPER ORDERED ME TO DO IT.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT! HEY, KOWALSKI!

KOWALSKI!

KOWALSKI! HOLD IT!

LISTEN, KID.

GIVE ME THE MESSAGE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, CHIEF?

YOU WANNA GET ME IN TROUBLE? I WANNA KEEP YOU OUT OF TROUBLE.

I GOT MY ORDERS TOO, SO HAND OVER THE PAPER. WHAT ORDERS HAVE YOU GOT?

WELL, THE ADMIRAL'S NOT FEELING TOO WELL.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED. LOOK, I CAN'T HELP THAT.

THE SKIPPER SAID GIVE HIM THE MESSAGE, AND I'M GOING TO. AND I SAY YOU'RE NOT.

HAND IT OVER.

OKAY. BUT I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

[ Growling ]

YEAH.

[ Thud ] [ Loud Yelp ]

[ Shrieking, Growling ]

KOWALSKI. SIR?

WHAT'S KEEPING THE ADMIRAL? I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

WHEN YOU GAVE HIM THE MESSAGE, WHAT DID HE SAY? I DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM, SIR.

- WHAT? - THAT IS, NOT PERSONALLY, SIR.

CHIEF SHARKEY TOOK IT TO THE CABIN.

I ORDERED YOU TO DO IT. I KNOW, SIR. I WANTED TO, BUT HE SAID HIS ORDERS SUPERSEDED MINE.

CHIEF? HMM?

WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO COUNTERMAND A DIRECT ORDER OF MINE?

- SIR? - YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION?

WELL, SIR, THE ADMIRAL WASN'T FEELING TOO WELL, AND I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BE DISTURBED.

- HE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED? - YES, SIR.

AND SO YOU TOOK IT ON YOURSELF TO KEEP KOWALSKI FROM OBEYING MY ORDERS, RIGHT?

- YES, SIR. - VERY WELL.

YOU'RE RELIEVED OF ALL FURTHER DUTIES.

CONFINE YOURSELF TO YOUR CABIN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THAT'S ALL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

ADMIRAL, THIS IS CRANE.

[ Crane ] ADMIRAL? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

[ Crane ] ADMIRAL? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

[ Nelson On Speaker ] LEE, THIS IS NELSON. WERE YOU CALLING ME?

YES, I WAS.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? [ Nelson ] OF COURSE I AM.

GOOD. I'LL BE RIGHT UP. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

CHIEF!

I TOLD YOU TO GO TO YOUR QUARTERS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

NO, UH-- NO EXPLANATION, SIR.

- WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TROUBLE? - CHIEF SHARKEY COUNTERMANDED A DIRECT ORDER OF MINE.

WHEN I CONFINED HIM TO HIS QUARTERS, HE IGNORED ME AND CAME HERE INSTEAD.

MMM.

DID YOU GIVE THE CAPTAIN AN EXPLANATION, CHIEF?

NO, SIR.

WELL, I DON'T THINK SHARKEY'S GOING TO GIVE YOU ANY MORE TROUBLE. FORGET IT.

FORGET OUTRIGHT INSUBORDINATION?

JUST FORGET ANY DISCIPLINE ON THIS SHIP?

[ Chuckling ] WELL, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AS DRASTIC AS ALL THAT.

ADMIRAL, I'M IN COMMAND HERE,

AND NO SUBORDINATE WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT MY MESSAGES ARE TO BE DELIVERED.

LEE, PLEASE.

PLEASE... FORGET IT.

AYE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, CHIEF, GET BACK TO WORK. AYE, AYE, SIR.

ANY FURTHER ORDERS?

NO. N-NO-- NO ORDERS.

LET'S GET DOWN TO THE CONTROL ROOM...

AND GIVE ME THAT MESSAGE OF YOURS.

THERE'S THE COLUMBINE.

AND HERE WE ARE.

WE'VE BEEN CLOSING FAST. NOT FAST ENOUGH.

THE CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE INDICATED HE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP HIS SHIP AFLOAT LONG ENOUGH...

FOR US TO REACH HIM.

THAT'S WHEN I THOUGHT OF AN ALTERNATE PLAN. GO ON.

WHILE WE CONTINUE AT FLANK SPEED, YOU COULD TAKE OFF IN THE FLYING SUB.

I COULD REACH THEM FROM HERE IN MINUTES. WHAT THEN?

YOU COULD HOVER ABOUT THE COLUMBINE AND RESCUE AT LEAST 15 PEOPLE AT A TIME.

BY MAKING A NUMBER OF TRIPS, YOU COULD SAVE NEARLY EVERYBODY ABOARD BEFORE WE EVEN GOT THERE.

- WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE UP THERE? - WELL, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

GALE WINDS, HIGH SEAS AND NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY.

THE RISKS ARE HIGH. STILL, IT MIGHT BE THE ONLY WAY.

HOW SOON CAN WE GET STARTED? WE CAN GET THE FLYING SUB READY IN 15 MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD. I'LL BE IN SICK BAY. UH--

- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SICK BAY FOR? - WELL--

I WANT DOC TO GIVE ME A QUICK CHECKUP. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I DON'T FIND A THING, ADMIRAL.

OF COURSE, IT'D BE A LOT EASIER IF I KNEW WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

YOU REMEMBER WE HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH A RABIES-LIKE VIRUS.

REMEMBER IT? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FORGET IT, TRYING TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED.

WELL, IT HAPPENED, ALL RIGHT.

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THAT VACCINE YOU GAVE ME.

WELL, I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. AS LONG AS IT WORKED, FORGET IT.

BUT IF IT DIDN'T WORK PERMANENTLY?

NOW LOOK HERE. HAVE YOU HAD A RECURRENCE OF THE SYMPTOMS?

- WHY DO YOU ASK THAT? - BECAUSE IF YOU HAD, WE'D REALLY BE IN TROUBLE.

- WHY? ANOTHER SHOT OF THE VACCINE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. - NO, IT WOULDN'T.

ANOTHER ATTACK WOULD INDICATE THAT THE VACCINE IS OF NO FURTHER USE.

AND WITH NO VACCINE--

THEN ANOTHER ATTACK MIGHT BE FATAL?

NOT MIGHT, ADMIRAL. IT WOULD BE FATAL.

NOW, THESE QUESTIONS, I HOPE THEY'RE HYPOTHETICAL,

JUST THE INQUIRING SCIENTIFIC MIND LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER.

[ Chuckling ] OF COURSE. JUST CURIOSITY, THAT'S ALL.

UH, THANKS, DOC.

SIR, THE FLYING SUB'S READY WHENEVER YOU GIVE THE ORDER TO LAUNCH.

THANKS, KOWALSKI. YES, SIR.

ADMIRAL, THIS IS CRANE.

YES? WHAT IS IT, LEE?

- THE FLYING SUB'S READY NOW. - I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

NO.

NO, NO. NO.

NO!

ADMIRAL, THE SUB'S ALL--

[ Growling ]

SKIPPER!

WHAT'S THE MATTER? THE ADMIRAL. HE'S DOWN THERE, BUT HE DIDN'T STOP FOR ANYTHING.

HE JUST WENT DOWN THERE LIKE HE WAS-- SKIPPER, NO!

[ Explosion ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Coughing ]

FIRE DETAIL! ON THE DOUBLE!

SKIPPER! THE ADMIRAL!

[ Roaring ]

SKIPPER!

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

IT WAS THE ADMIRAL. HE WAS ACTING LIKE A WILD MAN.

ALL RIGHT. I'M OKAY. TAKE IT EASY, SIR.

[ Exhales ]

CHIEF, I WANT YOU TO ORGANIZE AN ARMED SEARCH PARTY. ON THE DOUBLE.

SIR?

ARMED?

- MAKE IT STUN GUNS ONLY. NO LIVE AMMO. - AYE, AYE, SIR.

LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS THE FIRE IS UNDER CONTROL.

I'LL BE IN THE SICK BAY. AYE, AYE, SIR.

FRANKLY, I'M NOT FOND OF HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE.

I'VE FOUND THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL CASE IS DISTINCTIVELY UNIQUE.

AN EDUCATED GUESS. THAT'S ALL I'M AFTER.

WELL, SUBJECT TO FACTORS WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, I'D HAVE TO SAY...

THAT THERE'S NO POSSIBILITY OF A FAVORABLE OUTCOME.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE, UH-- THE PATIENT WOULD DIE.

IN MY MIND, THERE'S NO DOUBT OF IT.

[ Exhales ] I SEE.

[ On Speaker ] SKIPPER, THIS IS KOWALSKI.

- GO AHEAD, KOWALSKI. - THE FIRE DETAIL IS SECURED.

IS THE FLYING SUB OPERABLE? I'M AFRAID NOT.

THE STRUCTURAL RIBS AND THE BEAMS ARE BADLY DAMAGED.

IT'LL TAKE, UH, OH, A COUPLE OF DAYS TO FIX IT UP.

VERY WELL. REPORT TO THE CHIEF AND JOIN THE SEARCH PARTY.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

SEARCH PARTY, CAPTAIN?

YES. THE, UH-- THE ADMIRAL'S HAD A RELAPSE.

WE'RE SEARCHING THE SHIP FOR HIM NOW.

NOT THAT VIRAL INFECTION?

I'M AFRAID SO.

[ Sighs ]

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

DOC, THERE'S ONE THING MORE I'VE GOT TO KNOW.

IF ONE OF MY MEN IS INJURED TRYING TO CAPTURE THE ADMIRAL,

WILL HE GET THE SAME INFECTION?

IF THERE'S A BREAK IN THE SKIN, YES.

- WITH WHAT RESULT? - EXACTLY AS FATAL.

THANKS.

SKIPPER. ANY SIGN OF HIM, CHIEF?

NO, SIR, NOT YET. BUT WE'LL FIND HIM.

ALL RIGHT. I WANT YOU TO WARN YOUR MEN NOT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES.

THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH COULD GIVE THEM THE SAME INFECTION THE ADMIRAL HAS.

I UNDERSTAND, SIR.

OH, SKIPPER, I'VE BEEN WONDERING.

IT'S, UH-- IT'S NOT HOPELESS WITH THE ADMIRAL, IS IT?

- DOC THINKS SO. - BUT DO YOU, SIR?

I DON'T WANT TO.

AS LONG AS HE'S ALIVE, THERE'S STILL A CHANCE.

THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, SIR.

AND ABOUT THOSE SCRATCHES, I'LL PASS THE WORD ALONG TO THE MEN.

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

OH. SORRY.

I JUST HEARD ABOUT THE ADMIRAL.

IS IT TRUE THAT HE'S GOING THROUGH THAT MUTATION BUSINESS?

YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO.

THEN THERE'S NOT MUCH CHANCE OF HIS BEATING IT.

ACCORDING TO DOC, THERE'S NO CHANCE.

I SEE.

LOOK, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

NOT MUCH, CHIP.

SEARCH PARTIES ARE ALL ORGANIZED.

OH, UH, ONE THING.

TRY TO KEEP THIS FROM THE DUTY WATCH IN THE CONTROL ROOM.

I'D JUST AS SOON THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS...

UNTIL IT'S RESOLVED, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

I UNDERSTAND.

GOOD LUCK. THANKS.

- [ Growling ] - SHARKEY!

[ Roars ]

[ Roars ]

[ Roaring Continues ]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YES, SIR.

DID YOU HIT HIM? YES, SIR.

SO DID I, AND IT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW HIM UP.

HE JUST TURNED AROUND AND RAN RIGHT OVER ME LIKE I WASN'T THERE.

WERE YOU HURT AT ALL? DID YOU EVER GET RUN OVER BY A TRUCK?

IS THERE ANY BREAK IN THE SKIN ANYWHERE?

NO, SIR, I DON'T THINK SO. YEAH, GOOD.

I'LL TELL YOU, THE STUN GUN ISN'T GOING TO WORK. NEXT GUY MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

ISN'T THERE SOME OTHER WAY WE CAN TRAP HIM, SIR? NONE THAT I KNOW OF.

WE CAN'T ASK THE MEN TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WITH WEAPONS THAT DON'T WORK.

LIVE AMMO, HUH?

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY. PASS THE WORD.

- DOES THAT MEAN SHOOT TO KILL? - ONLY IF THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.

NOW GET STARTED. AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Growling ]

HE'S GOTTA BE HERE SOMEWHERE IN THIS AREA.

YOU TWO GUYS COVER THAT CORRIDOR.

WHAT ABOUT THESE COMPARTMENTS?

MAYBE HE DUCKED IN ONE OF 'EM.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL TAKE THIS ONE. YOU TAKE THE CIRCUITRY ROOM. RIGHT.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

- [ Growling ] - CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU.

DON'T COME ANY CLOSER.

[ Growling Continues ] CHIEF!

HE'S IN HERE!

CHIEF!

[ Grunts ] GOT IT.

-SKIPPER, THIS IS CHIEF SHARKEY. -GO AHEAD, CHIEF.

WE GOT HIM, SIR. HE'S LOCKED IN THE CIRCUITRY ROOM.

CIRCUITRY ROOM? THAT'S THE HEART OF THE SHIP!

- HE STARTS BREAKING UP ANYTHING IN THERE, WE'VE ALL HAD IT. - YES, SIR.

- [ Sighs ] - [ Growling Continues ]

DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.

SEVERE FLOODING FROM FRAME 37 TO FRAME 54.

ENGINEERING, ARE THE MAIN PUMPS WORKING?

AFFIRMATIVE. IF WE SEAL OFF THE FLOODED COMPARTMENTS,

CAN YOU GIVE US ENOUGH BUOYANCY TO RAISE US OFF THE BOTTOM?

IF WE CAN GET INTO THE CIRCUITRY ROOM, WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT, YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, THEN STAND BY. I'LL SEE THAT YOU GET IN.

AYE, AYE, SIR. CHIEF SHARKEY, REPORT.

THIS IS-- THIS IS CHIEF SHARKEY, SIR.

GO INTO THE CIRCUITRY ROOM AND CLEAR IT FOR THE WORK PARTY.

WELL, THAT-- THAT'LL MEAN USING GUNS, SIR.

IT HAS TO BE DONE ON THE DOUBLE. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

UNDERSTOOD? AYE, AYE, SIR.

DOES THAT MEAN WE GO IN THERE BLAZING AWAY WITH THESE?

YOU HEARD THE ORDERS.

CHIEF, NO MATTER WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, THAT'S THE ADMIRAL IN THERE.

- DO WE JUST GO IN THERE AND KILL HIM? - WE FOLLOW ORDERS.

CAN'T YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL?

[ Exhales ] OKAY.

[ Exhales ] OKAY.

MAYBE-- MAYBE WE CAN CATCH HIM BY SURPRISE.

ALL RIGHT, NOW!

SKI.

WATCH IT, CHIEF.

HE'S OUT COLD. HE MAY BE DEAD FOR ALL WE KNOW. BUT DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

I'LL COVER YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

HE'S STILL BREATHING. ALL RIGHT, CAREFUL NOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE MIGHT DO.

GO ON. TURN HIM OVER.

[ Groans ]

- WHAT HAPPENED? - WE'VE HAD AN ACCIDENT.

WE'RE LYING ON THE BOTTOM.

- HOW BAD WAS IT? - PRETTY BAD. ENGINEERING'S WORKING ON IT NOW.

THERE'S A CHANCE WE'LL GET BUOYANCY TO GET TO THE SURFACE.

YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME EVERYTHING.

- WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? - OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT NOW.

DOC SAYS YOU SHOULD GET AS MUCH REST AS POSSIBLE.

DOC SAYS?

- YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME, DON'T YOU? - YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

AND YOU KNOW THAT I AM NOT GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

SHOULD'VE KILLED ME WHEN YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY.

-YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME ABOUT IT. -I-I-I COULDN'T TELL YOU.

YOU HAD YOUR HANDS FULL ENOUGH WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT...

WHETHER I WAS GOING TO HAVE AN ATTACK THE NEXT MINUTE OR NOT!

LISTEN, ADMIRAL. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE'LL LICK THIS THING. I DON'T KNOW HOW YET, BUT WE'LL DO IT.

NO. NO.

NO.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY THIS CAN END.

THERE'S ONLY ONE SENSIBLE COURSE TO TAKE.

I WANT YOU TO KEEP ME LOCKED UP IN HERE SO I CAN'T DO ANY MORE HARM.

GIVE ME YOUR WORD THAT YOU WON'T LET ME OUT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

AGREED?

ALL RIGHT. [ Knocking ]

EXCUSE ME.

[ Nelson ] COME IN.

ADMIRAL, ARE YOU OKAY NOW?

I'M FINE. FINE.

THAT SURE IS A RELIEF, SIR.

SKIPPER, HERE'S A MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM THE CAPTAIN OF THE COLUMBINE.

COLUMBINE? I ALMOST FORGOT.

- WHAT'S HER CONDITION? - "GALE LETTING UP. PUMPS HOLDING.

ESTIMATE ALL WELL FOR ANOTHER FEW HOURS AT MOST."

COULD BE WORSE. MMM.

IF WE CAN MAKE REPAIRS, WE COULD STILL REACH HER IN TIME.

WE'LL GIVE IT A TRY. I'LL SEE HOW ENGINEERING IS MAKING OUT.

AREN'T YOU COMING, SIR?

I'M STAYING HERE, LOCKED IN.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

ENGINEERING, GIVE ME A FINAL INSPECTION REPORT.

[ Man On Speaker ] THE SHIP IS SEAWORTHY, CAPTAIN,

PROVIDED YOU DON'T EXCEED STANDARD SPEED AND STAY AT A DEPTH ABOVE 200 FEET.

VERY WELL.

NAVIGATION, COME TO 150 FEET. ALL AHEAD STANDARD.

ALL AHEAD STANDARD. DEPTH: 150. AYE, SIR.

WELL, WE'RE LUCKY IN HERE. PRACTICALLY NO DAMAGE AT ALL.

YOU ACTUALLY SAW HIM, HUH, CHIEF? WHO?

OH, THE ADMIRAL. YEAH, SURE, I SAW HIM. HE'S OKAY AGAIN.

BUT DOES THAT MEAN HE'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT FROM NOW ON?

SURE HE IS. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THEN HOW COME HE'S LOCKED IN HIS CABIN? WELL, BEC--

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? LOOK, GIVE THOSE GUYS A HAND, WILL YA?

OKAY, BURNSIDE, I'LL TAKE OVER.

CHIEF, PREPARE TO LAUNCH THE DIVING BELL.

ADMIRAL, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN YOUR CABIN.

- AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CARRY OUT ORDERS. - YES, SIR.

KOWALSKI.

- PREPARE THE DIVING BELL FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH. - RIGHT, CHIEF.

SKIPPER, THIS IS SPARKS.

GO AHEAD, SPARKS.

WE HAVE A SIGNAL FROM THE CAPTAIN OF THE CARRIER ARGON.

ARGON? WHAT DOES HE WANT?

HE REPORTS HIS POSITION 100 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE COLUMBINE.

HE'S SENDING OUT COPTERS TO TAKE OFF THE MEN. VERY WELL.

ADMIRAL, THIS IS CRANE. I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE COLUMBINE.

ADMIRAL?

ADMIRAL, DO YOU READ ME?

PREPARE TO LOWER AWAY, CHIEF. HOW DEEP, SIR?

ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM. BUT, ADMIRAL--

WHO TOLD YOU TO LOWER THAT BELL? ADMIRAL NELSON.

I TRIED TO ASK HIM ABOUT IT, BUT-- HAUL IT UP! COME ON!

AYE, AYE, SIR.

ADMIRAL.

ADMIRAL! ADMIRAL!

ADMIRAL, WHY DID YOU RELEASE THE CONTROL?

ADMIRAL!

ADMIRAL!

WELL-- [ Stammering ]

THERE WASN'T MUCH CHOICE.

IT WAS CLEAR I COULDN'T GO ON MUCH LONGER.

AND THEN THERE WAS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF INFECTING SOMEONE ELSE.

NO REASON FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH THE SAME THING. THIS IS BEST FOR ALL CONCERNED.

IF YOU HADN'T SLIPPED THE CABLE, WE'D GET YOU BACK.

THAT'S WHY-- THAT'S WHY I SLIPPED IT!

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? THERE'S NO REASON TO TRY TO SAVE ME.

FOR WHAT? [ Exhales ]

CHIEF, WHEN YOU PREPARED THE BELL FOR DIVING,

WERE THE USUAL BALLAST WEIGHTS INCLUDED?

- YES, SIR. - I'M GOING TO ACTIVATE THE REMOTE BALLAST RELEASE.

THAT'LL BRING THE BELL UP LIKE A CORK. THE BENDS WILL KILL THE ADMIRAL.

NOT IF WE DEPRESSURIZE THE BELL BEFORE WE TAKE HIM OUT.

YES, SIR.

CAN'T SEE A THING THROUGH THAT PORT. IT'S TOO FOGGED UP.

THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE DEPRESSURIZING.

HOW MUCH LONGER, CHIEF? ANOTHER 13 SECONDS, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, MEN.

IN A FEW SECONDS,

I'M GOING TO OPEN THE HATCH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA FIND,

BUT, UH, BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST.

IF IT'S NOT THE ADMIRAL IN THERE,

AND IT CHARGES,

OPEN FIRE.

AND KEEP FIRING...

UNTIL IT'S DEAD.

[ Pistols Cocking ]

TIME'S UP, SIR.

CLEAN AS A HOUND'S TOOTH. NOT A SIGN OF TROUBLE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. WELL, I THINK MAYBE I DO.

THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF PRESSURE WHEN THE BELL POPPED TO THE SURFACE...

MUST HAVE CREATED A LARGE AMOUNT OF NITROGEN IN MY BLOODSTREAM.

WELL, THAT HAS TO BE THE ANTIDOTE FOR THE VIRUS-- NITROGEN.

I AGREE. IT'S THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION.

WELL, I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU, I AM VERY MUCH RELIEVED. YOU'RE RELIEVED?

BELIEVE ME, DOC, THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR THE WHOLE CREW.
