ALL STOP. MAINTAIN NEUTRAL BUOYANCY.

[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR. CAPTAIN, OUR FINDER HAS LOCATED THE OBJECT.

RANGE: 200 YARDS, DEAD AHEAD.

ROGER. WE'RE READY TO SHOVE OFF.

SHALL I TRY TO CONTACT ADMIRAL NELSON ABOARD THE FLYING SUB?

NO, NOT YET, CHIP. NOT UNTIL WE FIND THAT LIFE-FORM WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

- I'LL CONTACT YOU LATER. - AYE, SIR.

LET'S GO, CHIEF. AYE, SIR.

[ Screeching ]

- [ Screeching ] - [ Beeping ]

CAPTAIN, THE HULL SENSORS ARE PICKING UP A STRONG ELECTRICAL FIELD.

IT'S STRONG ENOUGH FOR A RED ALERT. YOU'D BETTER TURN BACK.

[ Screeching ]

[ Screeching ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

SKIPPER!

[ Screeching Continues ]

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

LEE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? ELECTRICAL RED ALERT. CAN YOU HEAR ME, LEE?

[ Screeching ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

SEAVIEW CALLING CAPTAIN CRANE. CAN YOU HEAR US, LEE?

[ Crane On Speaker ] I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I CA-- I CAN'T BREATHE. I CA--

THIS IS KOWALSKI, SIR. THERE'S A THING OUT HERE, SIR.

WELL, IT SWALLOWED THE SKIPPER. WHERE ARE YOU, KOWALSKI?

IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME BOULDERS. I'M OKAY, SIR.

BUT THE SKIPPER-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT--

IT'S STARTING TO HEAD TOWARDS ME.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE. HUG THE BOTTOM. WE'LL TRY TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE.

ALL AHEAD FLANK. COME TO COURSE 1-7-0.

SIR, THE VOLTAGE IS BUILDING UP ON THE OUTSIDE.

THE NEEDLE'S RUNNING CLEAR OFF THE DIAL.

SOUND GENERAL QUARTERS. AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

[ Screeching ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT. [ Man On Speaker ] MAIN TRANSFORMER'S BURNED OUT.

SLIGHT HULL DAMAGE SECTION B-31. ESTIMATE TIME OF REPAIR.

- THIRTY MINUTES. - CUT THAT TIME IN HALF.

SPARKS, GIVE ME A DIRECT CHANNEL TO ADMIRAL NELSON IN THE FLYING SUB.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND THAT LIFE-FORM, ADMIRAL.

WE CAN'T LET IT GET AWAY AGAIN. OH, WE'LL GET IT, DOCTOR.

SEAVIEW'S IN THE AREA WHERE IT WAS LAST DETECTED.

I'M A SCIENTIST, NOT A NAVIGATOR.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME IF I DON'T FEEL AS OPTIMISTIC AS YOU DO.

IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT. OUR ELECTRICAL SENSORS HAVE A FIX ON IT.

IT'S ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME--

SEAVIEW TO FS-1. SEAVIEW TO FS-1. COME IN, PLEASE. OVER.

WE READ YOU, CHIP. WHAT'S THE WORD ON THE LIFE-FORM?

WE FOUND IT, ALL RIGHT. IT'S GROWN TO GIGANTIC SIZE.

IT APPARENTLY ENGULFED LEE AND THREW AN ELECTRIC BOLT AT THE SEAVIEW...

WHICH BLEW OUR TRANSFORMERS AND DROVE US TO THE BOTTOM.

- WHAT DAMAGE TO SEAVIEW? - WE'RE DEAD IN THE WATER, OTHERWISE OKAY.

WHAT ARE THE LAST COORDINATES ON CRANE AND KOWALSKI?

L-54, C-42, VECTOR SEVEN.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO AFTER THEM.

LOOK.

IT'S GROWN-- A THOUSAND TIMES BIGGER THAN THE SPECIMEN IN MY LAB.

YEAH. THAT'S QUITE A THING YOU CREATED...

AND THEN RELEASED AT SEA.

YES. BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT IS LIFE, ADMIRAL.

LIFE CREATED FROM THE SUBSTANCE OF THE SEA.

[ Nelson ] LEE. IT MUST HAVE RELEASED HIM.

[ Screeching ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

KOWALSKI, NELSON. CAN YOU HEAR ME?

YES, SIR. I'VE GOT THE SKIPPER HERE, BUT HE'S UNCONSCIOUS.

THAT THING OUT THERE--

WE'LL GET THE STORY LATER. NOW LISTEN.

I'M GONNA MANEUVER THE FLYING SUB BETWEEN YOU AND THAT-- WHATEVER IT IS.

YOU GET READY TO BOARD THROUGH THE ESCAPE HATCH. GOT IT?

AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Screeching Continues ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

OPEN THE DECK HATCH. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

GET 'EM UP HERE FAST.

[ Screeching ]

HATCH CLOSED. ALL ABOARD.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE MOVING OUT.

[ Screeching Continues ]

- HOW IS HE? - HE'S NOT BREATHING.

WELL, USE THE RESUSCITATOR.

PULSE FAINT, ERRATIC.

FLYING SUB TO SEAVIEW. COME IN. [ Morton ] WE READ YOU, ADMIRAL.

[ Nelson ] WE PICKED UP CRANE AND KOWALSKI.

[ Morton On Speaker ] ARE THEY ALL RIGHT? LEE'S IN BAD SHAPE.

HAVE DOC STAND BY WITH BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN WE GET ABOARD.

[ Morton On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

- HE STOPPED BREATHING. - MORE OXYGEN.

CHIEF.

[ Breathing ]

I THOUGHT I'D LOST HIM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENED.

I DON'T NEED TO UNDERSTAND. JUST AS LONG AS HE'S ALIVE.

LET'S GET HIM TO SICK BAY. AYE, SIR.

KOWALSKI. EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR.

ADMIRAL, HADN'T WE BETTER GET OUR EQUIPMENT TO THE LABORATORY?

THERE'S MUCH TO BE DONE.

CHIP, ESTABLISH A CRUISING CIRCLE OVER THAT THING AS SOON AS WE GET UNDER WAY.

AYE, AYE, SIR. AND ACTIVATE ALL SENSING EQUIPMENT--

RADAR, SONAR, RADIATION DETECTORS, ELECTRIC SENSORS, THE WORKS.

I WANT TO KNOW IN ADVANCE WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO. AYE, SIR.

[ Clears Throat ] SKIPPER'S A VERY SICK MAN, SIR.

AH, HE'LL MAKE IT. HE'LL MAKE IT.

THE DOC'S WORKING ON HIM WITH THE RESUSCITATOR AND HYPOS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT SO FAR--

WHAT I MEAN TO SAY, SIR, IS IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE NEEDED--

LIKE BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT--

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU'D GIVE ME FIRST CALL.

I'LL KEEP IT IN MIND, CHIEF. MEANWHILE, THERE'S SOME LUGGAGE AND EQUIPMENT IN THE FLYING SUB.

TEND TO IT, WILL YOU? THE EQUIPMENT GOES TO THE LAB, THE LUGGAGE TO CABIN NUMBER ONE.

AYE, AYE, SIR. AND YOU, COME WITH ME.

ADMIRAL, I'M CONCERNED-- CONCERNED ABOUT THAT CREATURE.

IT MAY NEED ATTENTION.

[ Sighs ] IS THAT YOUR, UH, FIRST CONCERN?

WELL, SHOULDN'T IT BE?

AFTER ALL THE YEARS I'VE SPENT, AT LAST ACHIEVING SUCCESS,

CREATING LIFE FROM THE SUBSTANCE OF THE SEA, THE VERY PURPOSE OF OUR WORK.

SHOULDN'T MY FIRST CONCERN BE FOR THE EXPERIMENT?

SICK BAY, THIS IS NELSON. [ Doctor ] YES, ADMIRAL.

ANY CHANGE IN THE CAPTAIN'S CONDITION?

NONE. STILL UNCONSCIOUS, STILL CRITICAL.

ALL RIGHT. KEEP ME POSTED.

IF HE DIES, I'M GOING TO HOLD YOU DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE.

THAT IS NONSENSE, ADMIRAL. THERE IS RISK IN EVERY IMPORTANT BREAKTHROUGH.

THE FIRST SPACE FLIGHT. THE FIRST SUBMARINE.

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT RISK. SURELY YOU AGREE TO THAT.

BUT CRANE'S CONDITION IS THE RESULT OF A STUPID RISK...

YOU TOOK WHEN YOU RELEASED THAT THING INTO THE SEA.

I TELL YOU, IT WAS THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP.

LIFE HAD BEEN CREATED. IT HAD TO BE DEVELOPED IN ITS OWN NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

BUT NOT WITHOUT PROPER SCIENTIFIC CONTROLS!

AND LOOK AT IT NOW. IT'S HUGE.

WITH ENOUGH SHOCKING POWER TO BATTER SEAVIEW TO THE BOTTOM.

AND IT'S STILL GROWING. AND I'M GOING TO DESTROY IT.

MISSILE ROOM. NO! I WON'T LET YOU DO THAT.

ADMIRAL, THIS IS DOC. BETTER COME TO SICK BAY ON THE DOUBLE.

I'M SORRY.

[ Breathing ]

PULSE NORMAL. BREATHING NORMAL.

[ Nelson ] BUT HE'S STILL IN A COMA.

YES. EXACTLY AS BEFORE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

AND I CAN'T PROMISE THAT HE WON'T DIE AT ANY MOMENT.

[ Morton On Speaker ] ADMIRAL, WILL YOU COME TO THE CONTROL ROOM, PLEASE?

BE RIGHT THERE.

MEET ME IN THE LAB IN A FEW MINUTES AND BRING YOUR NOTES.

- WHICH NOTES DO YOU WANT? - SPECIFICALLY THOSE SHOWING THE MOMENT...

WHEN LIFE BEGAN IN THE CREATURE.

- THEY MAY BE OF SOME HELP TO LEE. - I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE.

I FEEL LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CAPTAIN'S CONDITION, DOCTOR.

PERHAPS THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN DO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE.

I HAVE A SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CONDITION. SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE?

YES. IT IS REALLY THE ANSWER TO THE ADMIRAL'S QUESTION...

ABOUT HOW THE LIFE FORCE CAME INTO THE CREATURE.

NOW IF YOU WILL WATCH THE CAPTAIN... CLOSELY.

YOU SEE, DOCTOR, THE LIFE FORCE COMES FROM ME.

I'M PART OF THE CREATURE.

I BECAME THAT WHEN I TOUCHED IT ACCIDENTALLY.

AND NOW CAPTAIN CRANE IS PART OF IT TOO.

AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE PART OF IT, DOCTOR.

AAH.

YOU WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

BUT YOU ARE NOW ONE OF US,

AND YOU WILL DO AS I TELL YOU.

- I AM ONE OF YOU. - THAT'S RIGHT.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. THERE'LL BE MANY OTHERS.

UNBELIEVABLE, SIR.

THE SCANNER INDICATES THE MONSTER HAS DOUBLED IN SIZE AGAIN.

MMM. IN JUST A FEW HOURS.

SHOULDN'T WE KILL IT NOW BEFORE IT GROWS ANY BIGGER?

WELL, IT HAS TO BE DESTROYED.

[ Crane ] WHAT HAS TO BE DESTROYED, ADMIRAL?

THIS, UH-- LEE! WELL, I THOUGHT THAT--

[ All Laughing ]

- WELL, THIS IS WONDERFUL. HOW DO YOU FEEL? - I FEEL FINE.

- BUT I-I-- - I JUST CAME TO FEELING PERFECTLY NORMAL.

THE DOCTOR SAID THERE WAS NO REASON I SHOULDN'T RETURN TO WORK.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT. WELL, WELCOME BACK ABOARD.

THANKS, ADMIRAL.

SO, UH, THIS IS THE BIG PROBLEM. AND IT'S A VERY SERIOUS ONE.

- SURELY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DESTROY IT. - WE HAVE TO.

I APPEAL TO YOU, CAPTAIN. WOULD YOU DESTROY IT?

NO, I WOULDN'T. DEFINITELY NOT, ADMIRAL.

BUT YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE KNOWS HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.

I DO. I DO, ADMIRAL. BUT IT'S STILL TOO IMPORTANT TO DESTROY RIGHT NOW.

THERE YOU ARE. YOUR OWN CAPTAIN AGREES WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TRY TO TRANQUILIZE IT.

TAKE A SAMPLE OF THE TISSUE. WE'LL HAVE THAT TO STUDY WHILE WE DESTROY THE MAIN BODY.

SOUNDS REASONABLE. I'D AGREE TO THAT.

HEY, CHIP, RIG THE FLYING SUB FOR TRANQUILIZER USE, AND THEN PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH.

AYE, SIR.

I'LL, UH, CHECK ON THE INSTRUMENTS BELOW. MMM.

IT SHOULD BE COMING INTO VIEW BEFORE LONG.

THIS IS THE FLYING SUB. COME IN, SEAVIEW.

WE READ YOU, ADMIRAL.

DO YOU HAVE US ON YOUR SCREENS? YOU AND THE CREATURE.

YOU ARE 2,000 YARDS APART AND CLOSING.

MM-HMM. UH, VOLTAGE INDICATION?

- INCREASING. - THERE IT IS.

STAND BY TO FIRE TRANQUILIZING MISSILES.

MISSILES READY, SIR. STANDING BY.

SEAVIEW, WE'RE GOING IN.

TAKE US IN CLOSE.

TAKE US AS CLOSE AS NECESSARY.

[ Screeching ]

ONE HIT. TWO HITS.

[ Groaning ]

[ Groaning ]

SEAVIEW, WE'RE RIGHT OVER IT.

SHARKEY AND THE DOCTOR WILL IMPLANT PROBES AND TAKE SAMPLES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE THAT TRANQUILIZING DRUG'S GOING TO BE,

SO MONITOR THIS THING EVERY SECOND.

[ Morton On Speaker ] AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Footsteps ]

TAKE THE CONN. I'LL HANDLE THIS.

BUT, LEE, I KNOW THE SETUP. I KNOW YOU DO, CHIP.

BUT TAKE THE CONN. I'LL HANDLE IT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

I'M FEELING FINE, DOC. THANKS. JUST A LITTLE TIRED.

I MAY NEED SOME HELP FROM YOU IN 10 OR 15 MINUTES.

I'LL BE HERE, CAPTAIN.

SHARKEY, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

THE CREATURE'S OVER TO OUR RIGHT.

WE'RE-- WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH FROM THE FLANK.

DR. KING?

I'M RIGHT BESIDE CHIEF SHARKEY.

EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. WE'LL ONLY BE A MOMENT.

ONE PROBE PLANTED.

I'LL TAKE THE SAMPLE.

SEAVIEW, WHAT'S YOUR VOLTAGE READING?

THE READING'S STEADY, ADMIRAL. IT'S HOLDING AT THE SAFE LEVEL.

LEE, IS THAT YOU?

YES, ADMIRAL. I'VE TAKEN OVER. EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL NOW.

MMM.

SHARKEY, HURRY IT UP.

SECOND PROBE PLANTED.

DR. KING?

RETURNING TO FLYING SUB, ADMIRAL.

LEE, WHAT'S YOUR READING ON THE SEAVIEW?

QUIET AND SAFE.

[ Sharkey On Speaker ] THIS IS THE CHIEF, SIR. READY TO COME ABOARD.

GET THIS OFF ME.

[ Indistinct ]

[ Explosion ]

CIRCUITS ARE GONE.

[ Screeching ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

CLOSE THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. WE MAY STILL HAVE A CHANCE. AYE, AYE, SIR.

CIRCUITS CLOSED, SIR.

NOW HANG ON. WE'RE GONNA BLAST OUT.

[ Screeching ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Screeching Continues ]

WE'RE FREE.

LEE, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ALL OF YOU?

AND KING?

IT'S THE CREATURE, ADMIRAL. WE BELONG TO IT.

YOU WILL TOO, AND SO WILL THE WHOLE CREW EVENTUALLY.

HOLD IT!

SHARKEY, GET THEIR GUNS. DR. KING, OVER THERE.

ALL RIGHT. NOW JUST WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S THE SAME THING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU, ADMIRAL.

THERE'S NO ESCAPE FOR YOU. OR FOR ANYONE.

BUT WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?

TO GROW, TO EXPAND,

TO TAKE.

TO BE THE WHOLE WORLD, ALL OF LIFE.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND. BUT, LEE, I'M GOING TO DESTROY THIS THING.

AND YOU TOO, IF NECESSARY. CHIP, LOCK 'EM UP.

ALL SECURE, SIR. MMM.

YOU'VE GOT THE WATCH. KEEP AWAY FROM THEM.

OBSERVE MAXIMUM SECURITY RULES AT ALL TIMES.

AYE, SIR.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THE CREW HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER.

WOULDN'T THEY ALL BE TOGETHER? LET'S HOPE SO.

MEANWHILE, I WANT ALL THE CRITICAL AREAS SEALED OFF--

THE MISSILE, THE CONTROL, THE ENGINE, REACTOR ROOMS--

ALL DOORS CLOSED AND DOUBLE LOCKED. AYE, SIR.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO USE TO DESTROY THE CREATURE? TORPEDOES?

I CAN'T DECIDE THAT TILL I'VE EXAMINED THESE TISSUE SAMPLES.

WE'LL BE IN THE LAB. AYE, AYE, SIR.

NOW HEAR THIS. MISSILE ROOM, ENGINE ROOM, REACTOR ROOM.

ALL DOORS LOCKED UNDER CONDITION ONE SECURITY. NO ONE TO ENTER OR LEAVE.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THAT UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. ALL RIGHT.

ADMIRAL, THE CREATURE'S MOVING.

COURSE 0-4-5, SPEED 19 KNOTS. AND IT'S GROWING. IT'S GROWING FAST.

GIVE ME A PROJECTION OF THAT FROM THE COMPUTER--

ULTIMATE SIZE, DESTINATION AND ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Nelson ] IT SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEM OF ELECTRICAL GENERATING AND STORAGE CELLS.

IT'S LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.

THE SYSTEM OF THE ELECTRIC EEL RAISED TO THE MILLIONTH POWER.

YEAH, BUT HOW DOES IT TAKE OVER PEOPLE?

HOW DOES IT TAKE-- HOW DO I KNOW?

HUMAN BEINGS ARE ACTIVATED BY MINUTE ELECTRICAL IMPULSES.

THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF A RELATIONSHIP.

[ Morton On Speaker ] ADMIRAL, I HAVE THAT PROJECTION.

OH. ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE IT.

THE DESTINATION OF THE CREATURE IS THE PACIFIC COAST.

ITS SIZE WHEN IT GETS THERE IS ALMOST THE SIZE OF A CITY.

ITS ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL-- THE NUMBERS RUN OFF THE PAPER.

BUT IT COULD DESTROY A CITY SIX TIMES THE SIZE OF SAN FRANCISCO.

ARM ATOMIC WARHEADS. CLOSE TO TORPEDO RANGE.

STAND BY FOR FIRING INSTRUCTIONS.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

LOAD ATOMIC WARHEAD TORPEDOES ONE THROUGH FOUR.

[ Man ] AYE, SIR.

LOAD TWO.

NO. NO. I-- I WON'T.

I WON'T.

TORPEDOES ARMED AND READY, SIR. RANGE: 2,000 YARDS.

- FIRE ONE. - FIRE ONE!

- FIRE TWO. - FIRE TWO!

[ Screeching ]

[ Beeping ]

ADMIRAL, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, SIR,

BUT THOSE TORPEDOES STRUCK HOME AND NEVER EVEN EXPLODED.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW, SIR?

[ Scoffs ] [ Sighs ]

I DON'T KNOW, CHIP. I-- I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

NOW USE 'EM IF YOU HAVE TO.

BUT REMEMBER, WE WANT TO CONTROL THE SEAVIEW, NOT DESTROY IT.

LET'S GO.

OKAY, HOOK IT UP.

THE ADMIRAL'S IN THE LAB. I'M GONNA GET ANOTHER TORCH AND START CUTTING IN THERE.

RIGHT. GIVE ME A HAND, RAY.

ADMIRAL, THE PRISONERS HAVE BROKEN OUT OF THE BRIG.

THEY'RE AT THE MID-SHIP PASSAGEWAY DOOR, TRYING TO BURN THEIR WAY INTO THE CONTROL ROOM.

THEY'RE TRYING TO BURN THEIR WAY INTO THE LAB TOO.

WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE TIME. IF THEY DO GET IN THERE, SHOOT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

MISSILE ROOM, THIS IS NELSON. COME IN.

MISSILE ROOM. PATTERSON.

ARE YOU SECURE? RIGHT NOW I AM, SIR.

BUT SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO BREAK IN... USING METAL CUTTERS.

USE THE EMERGENCY POWER CUTOFFS. THEY'LL SHIFT TO PORTABLE CUTTING GEAR, AND THAT'S SLOWER.

AYE, SIR.

THEY CUT THE POWER. RIG THE EMERGENCY BATTERIES. ON THE DOUBLE!

CHIEF, GIVE ME A HAND, WILL YOU? PUT THE RHEOSTAT OVER THERE.

AYE, SIR.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BATTERY CELLS CONNECTED IN SERIES...

ARE HIT WITH MORE POWER THAN THEY CAN HANDLE?

- THEY BURN OUT. - THAT'S RIGHT.

I THINK WE CAN FIGHT THIS THING'S POWER WITH MORE POWER AND SHORT IT OUT.

TURN ON THE RHEOSTAT.

[ Electricity Pulsing ]

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT HOW ARE YOU GONNA SHORT OUT A THING AS BIG AS THAT OUT THERE?

WE'LL PUT CHARGE POWER INTO THE HULL OF THE FLYING SUB.

HAVE WE GOT THAT KIND OF POWER?

TWO A-33 ATOMIC POWER GENERATOR PACKS.

THEY'RE IN THE MISSILE ROOM. ADMIRAL, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE POWERFUL ENOUGH.

IT WILL BE IF I FLY DIRECTLY INTO ITS HEART.

MISSILE ROOM?

MISSILE ROOM. PATTERSON. WHAT'S YOUR CONDITION?

THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO CUT THROUGH THE HATCH, BUT THAT STEEL'S PRETTY TOUGH.

ALL RIGHT. BREAK OUT TWO A-33 ATOMIC POWER GENERATOR PACKS,

GET INTO SCUBA GEAR AND SWIM UNDER THE SEAVIEW TO THE FLYING SUB.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE, SIR? I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF GAS GRENADES HERE--

- [ Nelson On Speaker ] FORGET IT AND GET STARTED! - AYE, SIR.

HURRY UP, KOWALSKI. YOU'VE GOTTA GET IN THERE AND STOP THE ADMIRAL...

BEFORE HE GETS AWAY ON THE FLYING SUB.

I'M GOING AFT.

[ Gunshot ]

THREE MORE MINUTES, DOC, AND WE'LL BE THROUGH.

THE QUESTION IS HOW ARE WE GONNA GET OUT OF HERE?

BOY, WE COULD SURE USE THOSE GAS GRENADES.

YEAH.

THIS SHOULD GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

PUT ON THE GLOVES, CHIEF. AYE, SIR.

[ Mutters ]

THAT'S FULL POWER, SO BE CAREFUL.

READY? FIRE AT WILL.

GO AHEAD, SIR. I'LL HANDLE 'EM.

MAKE SURE PATTERSON MEETS ME ABOARD THE FLYING SUB. I NEED THOSE POWER PACKS.

WILL DO.

PATTERSON, THIS IS THE EXEC.

ALL SET HERE, COMMANDER.

THE ADMIRAL'S READY FOR LAUNCH.

TAKE THOSE POWER PACKS OUT OF THE AIR LOCK AND PUT 'EM IN THE DECK HATCH OF THE FS-1.

I'M ON MY WAY, SIR.

[ Kicks Object ]

DROP THOSE THINGS. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU.

STAY BACK. STAY-- STAY BACK.

DON'T YOU SEE, CHIEF? I'M YOUR FRIEND.

I'LL MAKE YOU ONE OF US. NO.

NOW, LET ME HAVE THEM.

NO. NO. NO. [ Panting ]

DROP YOUR HANDS. DROP THEM!

VERY GOOD, CHIEF. VERY GOOD.

NOW... GIVE THEM TO ME.

ALL RIGHT.

PATTERSON, I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE TO INSTALL THE POWER PACKS.

PUT ONE OF 'EM HERE. NOW YOU PUT ONE--

WHAT IS IT?

I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, ADMIRAL. I DIDN'T WANT TO.

DO WHAT?

WELL, SPEAK UP, PATTERSON. WHAT IS IT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO?

THE CAPTAIN WAS HOLDING OPEN THE HATCH.

I HAD TO HIT HIM... WITH A WRENCH.

I THINK I KILLED HIM.

YOU DID WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF NECESSARY.

- LET'S GET BACK TO WORK. - YES, SIR.

PUT ONE OF THE PACKS HERE AND ONE HERE.

THAT SHOULD GIVE US MAXIMUM POWER.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

COME IN, CHIP. [ Morton On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

WHAT'S YOUR SITUATION? STILL SECURE, SIR. YOU READY TO LAUNCH, SIR?

PATTERSON'S ATTACHING THE POWER PACKS TO THE HULL-- [ Splashing ]

OH, HERE HE IS NOW. WE'LL BE READY FOR LAUNCH IN A MINUTE.

AYE, SIR. WE'LL FOLLOW BEHIND YOU AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.

OVER AND OUT. RIGHT.

[ Exhales ] PATTERSON, GET OUT OF YOUR GEAR...

AND GIVE ME A HAND WITH THE CONTROLS.

HURRY.

CAN'T DO IT, ADMIRAL. WE'RE PART OF IT NOW.

[ Gasping ] NO, LEE!

[ Grunting ]

CHIP, WE HAVE THE TARGET IN VIEW. WE'RE GOING IN.

WE HAVE YOU ON SCREEN, SIR. WE'LL TRY TO FOLLOW YOU IN AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.

THANKS.

LOOK AT THAT!

BRACE YOURSELF.

DON'T DO IT, ADMIRAL. IF YOU KILL IT, YOU KILL ME TOO.

AND THE OTHERS. [ Scoffs ]

HANG ON.

[ Screeching ]

ADMIRAL, DO YOU READ ME?

[ Screeching ]

ADMIRAL, DO YOU READ ME, SIR?

- [ Screeching ] - ADMIRAL?

AM I ALL RIGHT? YOU'RE FINE.

- WHAT ABOUT DR. KING? - HE'S DEAD.

DO YOU, UH, THINK HE WOULD'VE BEEN NORMAL AGAIN IF HE'D LIVED?

HE WAS NEVER NORMAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IF HE WERE NORMAL, HE NEVER WOULD'VE USED THE CREATURE THE WAY HE DID.

ARE YOU SURE I'M ALL RIGHT? YES.

LIKE THE REST OF US, THE CONTROL THE CREATURE HAD OVER YOU VANISHED WHEN IT WAS DESTROYED.

IT'S A GOOD THING TOO. IF IT HADN'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'D HAVE DONE.

THE ADMIRAL WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.

OH, COME ON. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. [ Laughing ]

SICK BAY IS NO PLACE FOR A WELL MAN. ADMIRAL, IT'S A PLEASURE.
