[ Explosions Overhead ]

HERR BARON, THE NAVAL BATTLE GOES AGAINST US.

THE ALLIED DESTROYERS ARE CLOSING IN ON OUR U-BOATS.

YES, OBVIOUSLY, FROELICH.

WHAT ABOUT OUR SECRET WEAPONS?

WE COULD DESTROY THE ALLIED FLEET AND SAVE OUR U-BOATS FROM DESTRUCTION.

YOU KNOW YOUR ORDERS.

THOSE WEAPONS ARE TO DESTROY ALL ALLIED CAPITALS.

THEY'RE NOT TO BE WASTED ON A FEW INSIGNIFICANT SHIPS.

WE MAY NOT GET A CHANCE TO USE THEM IF WE ARE DESTROYED ALSO.

WE SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED. WE SHALL USE THOSE WEAPONS.

IF IT TAKES A THOUSAND YEARS, WE WILL USE THEM.

THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE. HOW DO YOU READ ITS LOCATION?

IT'S TWO MILES AHEAD, SIR. IT'S 10 DEGREES PORT...

AT A DEPTH OF ABOUT 380 FEET.

WHAT DO THE CHARTS SAY? NOTHING.

AT THIS LOCATION, THE BOTTOM'S RELATIVELY SMOOTH.

WELL, THAT SCREEN'S ACTING UP OVER SOMETHING.

YOU BETTER TAKE US DOWN FOR A LOOK. AYE, AYE.

TEN DEGREES DOWN BUBBLE. COME TO BEARING 2-7-0.

THERE IT IS, LEE.

IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO BE A SUNKEN CRUISER HIDDEN UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF MOSS.

YEAH.

BUT IT'S THE WRONG SHAPE.

SKIPPER, WE'RE GETTING A STRANGE SOUND ON THE MAGNIFICATION HYDROPHONE.

GIVE US MORE VOLUME. [ Rhythmic Pulsing ]

IT'S COMING FROM THAT MOUND.

HOW COULD IT? THAT THING LOOKS LIKE IT DATES FROM THE YEAR ONE.

THERE'S SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IN THERE.

[ Pulsing Continues ]

IT SOUNDS LIKE HUMAN HEARTBEATS, DOESN'T IT?

[ Alarm Blaring ] MINES!

MANEUVERING, REVERSE ENGINES! ALL BACK FULL!

ALL BACK FULL! [ Explosions ]

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT! [ Man On Speaker ] DAMAGE CONTROL, AYE.

THE MAIN GENERATORS ARE OUT. WE'LL BE ON AUXILIARY LIGHTING FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX HOURS.

WHAT HIT US? IT MUST'VE BEEN A MINE.

THE MINE DETECTOR ALARM SOUNDED JUST BEFORE THE EXPLOSION.

A MINE IN THESE WATERS AT THIS DEPTH?

I KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE, ADMIRAL, BUT NEITHER DOES THAT MOUND OUT THERE.

[ Nelson ] WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. THE MAGNIFICATION ON THE HYDROPHONE...

WAS BRINGING US A STRANGE SOUND, LIKE THE BEATING OF A MAN'S HEART.

WE WERE JUST GOING DOWN FOR A CLOSER LOOK, AND THE EXPLOSION HIT.

UH-HUH. SIR, IT'S DAMAGE.

IT'LL TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR TO REPAIR. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WITH THAT SEAWEED-COVERED MOUND OUT THERE,

YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK.

[ Crane ] OVER HERE!

[ Exhales ] THE AIR'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S A LITTLE MUSTY, BUT IT'S BREATHABLE.

THOSE THINGS HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND SINCE WORLD WAR II, SIR.

HE HASN'T BEEN HERE THAT LONG.

AS A MATTER OF FACT--

GENTLEMEN, WILL YOU RAISE YOUR HANDS, PLEASE?

COME.

YOU ARE PRISONERS OF THE THIRD REICH.

HEIL HITLER!

ANY WORD FROM LEE AND KOWALSKI? NOT A WORD, SIR.

NOT SINCE THEY ENTERED THAT MOUND OUT THERE.

WE SHOULD HAVE HAD A REPORT SOME TIME AGO.

SHOULD I SEND OUT ANOTHER DIVING TEAM AFTER THEM?

NO, THAT'S TOO RISKY. GIVE THEM ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM,

SEND OUT A DETAIL IN THE FLYING SUB. AYE, SIR.

WELL, I'M WAITING FOR AN ANSWER.

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE? WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?

- JUST WHO ARE YOU? - I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING ABOUT YOU.

UH, WHY THE COSTUME?

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT PHONY SWASTIKA?

THAT WENT OUT OF STYLE OVER 30 YEARS AGO.

I WOULDN'T ADVISE THAT UNLESS YOU WOULD RATHER DIE NOW THAN LATER.

NOW, LOOK.

YOU MAY BE ENJOYING THIS LITTLE MASQUERADE, BUT WE'RE NOT.

MASQUERADE? ONE MORE INSULT LIKE THAT,

AND YOU'LL BE SHOT WHERE YOU STAND.

COME ON. THE INFORMATION.

UNTIL I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, I'M TELLING YOU NOTHING. NOW RIGHT NOW, I'D SUG--

[ Panting ]

[ Coughs ] IT'S THE GAS TAKING OVER AGAIN.

I CAN'T BREATHE.

I CAN'T BREATHE!

THIS IS CRANE TO SEAVIEW. WE NEED HELP OVER HERE.

DO YOU READ US? OVER.

WHAT KIND OF HELP? WHAT'S YOUR TROUBLE?

I'M NOT SURE YET. ALL I KNOW IS...

WE HAVE TWO MEN HERE WHO ARE STILL FIGHTING WORLD WAR II.

SEND THE DIVING BELL DOWN, AND WE'LL BRING THEM ABOARD.

I, UH-- I SURE DON'T GET THIS ONE, SKIPPER.

I'D SAY THEY'RE PLAYING SOME KIND OF HALLOWEEN GAMES,

BUT THIS STUFF LOOKS REAL TO ME.

IT IS, CHIEF. IT SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF A WEAPONS LAB.

THOUGH MOST OF IT'S BEEN OUT OF DATE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

AND, UH, WHAT ABOUT THOSE CHARACTERS?

WELL, WE'LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THEM ABOARD SEAVIEW.

MEANWHILE, LET'S GET SOME SAMPLES OF THIS EQUIPMENT TO SHOW THE ADMIRAL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, DOC?

BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE OBVIOUSLY SLEEPING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOME SORT OF DRUG.

BUT, UH, EVERYTHING I'VE TRIED SO--

SO YOU ARE AN AMERICAN ADMIRAL. IS THAT RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT. [ Sighs ]

WELL, THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.

I MUST BE ON SOME SORT OF A VESSEL.

THIS IS NAVAL SICK BAY, ISN'T IT?

CORRECT. NOW DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT YOU IDENTIFIED YOURSELF?

ADMIRAL BARON GUSTAVE VON NEUBERG.

[ Clicks Heels ]

BARON, MY NAME'S NELSON, AND THIS IS CAPTAIN CRANE.

NELSON? I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER HEARD OF YOU.

[ Chuckles ] ALL RIGHT.

NOW, WHERE DO YOU COME FROM, AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING...

IN THAT WEAPONS LABORATORY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA?

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE ME AT A DISADVANTAGE, ADMIRAL.

I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I AM, I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE,

AND I SHALL WITHHOLD ANY INFORMATION UNTIL MY AIDE IS AWAKENED.

THEN WE CAN CONSULT.

MM-HMM. WELL, UM, SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM, DOC.

AND I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER, ADMIRAL,

AFTER I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO FULLY INVESTIGATE YOUR WEAPONS LAB.

PLEASE, BE MY GUEST.

BUT I THINK YOU WILL REQUIRE MY HELP TO DO A THOROUGH JOB.

WELL, IF I DO, I'M SURE YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO COOPERATE?

OF COURSE. OF COURSE. ANYTIME.

MMM.

DOC, I'VE HAD THE MASTER-AT-ARMS POST GUARDS OUTSIDE SICK BAY.

LET ME KNOW THE CONDITION OF THESE MEN IN 15 MINUTES.

I'LL BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM. RIGHT.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY COMING THROUGH, SIR. OH, THANKS.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS NELSON. GO AHEAD.

[ Man ] IN RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUEST CONCERNING ADMIRAL GUSTAVE VON NEUBERG,

WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

DURING WORLD WAR II, HE WAS GERMANY'S CHIEF NAVAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST.

HOW OLD WAS HE AT THAT TIME? FORTY-NINE.

MM-HMM. IS HE STILL ALIVE?

DON'T KNOW, SIR. HASN'T BEEN HEARD FROM SINCE '44.

IF HE WERE ALIVE NOW THOUGH, HE'D BE WELL UP IN HIS 80s.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS FOR THE REPORT. OVER AND OUT.

YOU DON'T REALLY THINK THIS VON NEUBERG IS THE SAME MAN, DO YOU?

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE, LEE.

BUT HE'S NOT MORE THAN 49 NOW.

YEAH, I KNOW.

MISSILE ROOM, PREPARE THE DIVING BELL FOR RETURN DESCENT TO THAT WEAPONS LAB.

[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, AYE, SIR.

I'M GONNA FIND OUT IF THERE MIGHT BE ANY OTHER SECRET WEAPONS THERE...

ASIDE FROM THE GAS YOU BROUGHT ABOARD.

I'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS COULD BE THE SAME VON NEUBERG 35 YEARS LATER...

AND NOT HAVE AGED ONE DAY.

WELL, IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE IF, UH--

IF HE WERE IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

OH, COME ON. WELL, I ONLY SAID THAT IT-- IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE.

S.S.R.N. SEAVIEW. HMM.

SO THIS IS THE VESSEL WE ARE ABOARD? THAT'S RIGHT.

NEIN, MY LITTLE DOCTOR. THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

NO SUBMARINE SUCH AS THIS COULD POSSIBLY EXIST.

OH, YES. IN IMAGINATION, PERHAPS, OR SOME DESIGNER'S DREAM.

BUT IN REALITY? NO.

WELL, THAT'S VERY INTERESTING,

INASMUCH AS YOU'RE ABOARD HER RIGHT NOW.

I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I AM.

I ONLY KNOW THAT I AND MY AIDE ARE BEING HELD HERE AS PRISONERS OF WAR AGAINST OUR WILL.

YOU'RE A PRISONER ONLY IF YOU MAKE IT NECESSARY FOR THE ADMIRAL TO HOLD YOU.

IF YOU TOLD HIM WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE,

I THINK YOU'D FIND HIM A VERY REASONABLE MAN.

I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED WHO I AM.

AS A PRISONER OF WAR, I'M NOT REQUIRED TO AMPLIFY MORE FULLY.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO COOPERATE WITH YOU WHEN YOU LIE TO ME?

NOT EVEN THE MOST ADVANCED OF THE FÜHRER'S U-BOATS...

CAN BOAST OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

THE CONTROL SYSTEM,

THE MISSILE FIRING APPARATUS.

WELL, I PRESUME YOU LIE TO ME FOR SOME PURPOSE OF YOUR OWN.

LOOK, VON NEUBERG, EITHER YOU'RE DELIBERATELY LYING YOURSELF,

OR YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU'RE--

[ Chuckling ]

EXCELLENT, FROELICH. EXCELLENT! [ Speaking German ]

NOW LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND SOME WEAPONS TO GET US OUT OF HERE.

BUT IF WE ARE PRISONERS ABOARD SOME KIND OF SUBMARINE--

WE ARE, FROELICH. WE ARE.

AND IF THAT DIAGRAM IS ONLY HALF CORRECT,

THE ALLIES HAVE A WEAPON HERE THAT COULD DESTROY THE FATHERLAND.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO PREVENT.

THE UNTERWASSER LABORATORY-- IF THEY GO DOWN THERE,

LEARN WHAT ITS SECRET REALLY IS--

THE ADMIRAL IS ALREADY ON HIS WAY DOWN THERE.

BUT THE ONLY THING HE WILL FIND IS DEATH.

LOOK AT THAT DATE, SIR. 1944.

THAT WAS DURING WORLD WAR II.

THAT INSCRIPTION IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEEN AROUND HERE SINCE THEN.

YOU MEAN, UH, THOSE NAZIS WE FOUND DOWN HERE?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE WHO THEY ARE.

WELL, MAYBE-- MAYBE THEY'RE KIDDING ABOUT ALL THIS.

MAYBE THEY'RE A COUPLE OF SKIN DIVERS...

WHO ACCIDENTALLY CAME ACROSS THIS LAB.

OH, NO, NO, NO. THE ONLY THING I AM SURE OF...

IS THAT THEY'RE HERE FOR SOME PURPOSE.

WE'D BETTER FIND OUT WHAT THAT, UH--

WHAT THAT PURPOSE WAS.

CHIEF, I SAW A CROWBAR THERE. BRING IT OVER TO ME, WILL YOU?

AYE, SIR.

[ Sniffing ] ANESTHETIC.

GET ME SOME TOWELS.

THERE'LL BE GUARDS OUTSIDE. THE MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF A CAPTAIN HAD THEM POSTED.

HOW MANY, HERR BARON? OH, I DON'T KNOW. TWO, THREE, OR MORE.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? WHATEVER THE ODDS, WE SHALL TAKE THEM.

ARE YOU READY?

COME ON.

SEAVIEW CALLING NELSON. SEAVIEW TO NELSON.

COME IN, PLEASE.

SEAVIEW TO NELSON.

[ Continues On Radio ] CAN YOU HEAR ME, ADMIRAL?

WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE? DO YOU READ ME?

NO LUCK? NO, I CAN'T GET A REPLY.

SHALL I SEND SOME DIVERS DOWN? NO, NOT YET.

IT MIGHT BE BOOBY-TRAPPED.

MAYBE WE CAN GET THOSE PHONY NAZIS TO TELL US.

CONTROL ROOM TO SICK BAY. CONTROL ROOM TO SICK BAY.

COME IN, DOC. OVER.

DOC, THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. DO YOU HEAR ME?

CHIP, TAKE THE CONN. KEEP TRYING TO RAISE THE ADMIRAL.

I WANNA SEE WHAT'S WRONG IN THE SICK BAY.

SEAVIEW TO NELSON. SEAVIEW TO NELSON. COME IN, PLEASE. OVER.

SPLENDID, FROELICH!

WEAPONS AND GRENADES, ENOUGH TO PUT THIS CRAFT OUT OF ACTION FOR MONTHS.

SHALL WE DO IT? NO.

THE HIGH COMMAND MAY WANT THIS SHIP INTACT.

LOCK THE DOOR.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

HEY, WHAT THE--

ALL RIGHT. THAT'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM FOR A WHILE.

LOOK AT ALL THIS, FROELICH. LOOK AT THOSE SILOS.

THEY ARE MUCH MORE ADVANCED THAN I THOUGHT.

PERHAPS I COULD DESTROY THEM, HERR BARON? NO, NO, NO, NO. NO HURRY.

WE MAY WANT THEM FOR OUR OWN PURPOSE WHEN WE TAKE OVER THIS SUBMARINE.

[ Gasps ] LOOK! COME HERE.

THEY DIDN'T SUSPECT WHAT A FAVOR THEY DID US WHEN THEY BROUGHT THESE ABOARD.

UH-HUH. THE ESCAPE HATCH.

DIVING SUITS. ALL THE DIVING GEAR,

THE TANKS, THE COMMUNICATION DEVICES.

VERY GOOD. FROELICH, YOU STAY HERE HIDDEN...

WHILE I GO TO THE LABORATORY.

THEN WE'LL SEE WHO SHALL BE DESTROYED--

THE THIRD REICH, OR THE ENTIRE ALLIED HOMELANDS.

[ Sighs ] WITH THAT PLAN OF THE SEAVIEW,

VON NEUBERG COULD FIND HIS WAY ANYWHERE AROUND THIS SHIP.

I'M SORRY, SKIPPER. I HAD NO IDEA THEY'D TRY ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, DOC.

CHIP, VON NEUBERG AND FROELICH HAVE ESCAPED FROM THE SICK BAY.

THEY'RE ARMED AND DANGEROUS. NOW FIND THEM AND PUT THEM IN THE BRIG.

[ Chip On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

HOW ARE THEY? WELL, THE ANESTHETIC KNOCKED THEM OUT, BUT THEY'RE OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD.

[ On Speaker ] CAPTAIN, THIS IS PATTERSON.

COULD YOU COME DOWN TO THE MISSILE ROOM, SIR?

WE'VE BEEN UNDER ARMED ATTACK, AND WE NEED MEDICAL HELP.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. COME ON, DOC.

THERE'S EQUIPMENT MISSING, SKIPPER. I'D SWEAR TO THAT.

IF THEY'VE LEFT THE SHIP, THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE THEY'D BE HIDING.

THE UNDERWATER LAB? THAT'S RIGHT.

CHIP? AYE, AYE.

- ANY WORD ON VON NEUBERG? - HAVEN'T SPOTTED HIM YET, SIR.

- PATROLS ARE STILL OUT SEARCHING. - WHAT ABOUT ADMIRAL NELSON?

STILL NO CONTACT, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. I WANT FIVE MEN FOR A BOARDING PARTY DETAIL.

VON NEUBERG MAY HAVE GONE BACK TO THE UNDERWATER LAB.

AYE, AYE.

PATTERSON? YES, SIR?

GET ALL THE UNDERWATER GEAR READY, INCLUDING MINE.

I'LL BE GOING ALONG. I'LL GET WHATEVER EXPLOSIVES WE MIGHT NEED.

AYE, SIR.

WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW, HERR BARON?

I MUST GET OUT OF HERE. GET THAT SAILOR.

COME AND GET IT, FELLAS.

WAIT A MINUTE.

- THE GAS! USE IT! - HIT THE DECK!

COME ON. HELP ME.

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE. IN THE MEANTIME,

YOU GO BACK TO THE ARMORY.

NOW, LAY SOME KIND OF A POWDER TRAIN OF EXPLOSIVES...

TO THE CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE SUBMARINE.

EXPLODE IT AND DESTROY IT.

[ Door Slams Shut ]

DEX.

ALL RIGHT, RON.

[ Crane On Speaker ] NOW HEAR THIS. NOW HEAR THIS. THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.

ALL SEARCH DETAILS LOOKING FOR THE GERMAN PRISONERS...

LAY AFT IMMEDIATELY TO CORRIDOR "B," ARMORY SECTION.

CORRIDOR "B," ARMORY SECTION.

WE'VE GOT REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE MEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR...

HAVE BROKEN IN THERE AND ATTACKED THE MASTER-AT-ARMS.

ALL RIGHT, YOU HEARD THE SKIPPER. LET'S GO.

[ Groans ] WHAT HAPPENED?

[ Coughs ] WHAT HAPPENED?

WE WERE BOOBY-TRAPPED, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

SOME KIND OF A KNOCKOUT GAS.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING PRETTY IMPORTANT BEHIND THAT WALL...

FOR THEM TO PROTECT IT LIKE THIS.

THERE IS INDEED, GENTLEMEN.

OH, WILL YOU PLEASE UNHOOK YOUR BELTS...

AND THROW YOUR PISTOLS ON THE FLOOR?

COME.

THANK YOU.

BEHIND THAT WALL ARE ALL THE WEAPONS THAT ARE GOING TO DESTROY YOUR HOMELAND.

OH, YOU-- YOU GOTTA BE JOKING.

THERE'S NOTHING DOWN HERE IN THIS-- THIS HISTORY MUSEUM TO HURT ANYBODY.

RIGHT, SIR? SUPPOSE WE LET THE BARON ANSWER THAT ONE, CHIEF.

OF COURSE. I'D BE DELIGHTED.

THERE THEY ARE.

THESE ARE THE WEAPONS, LOADED WITH A NEW KIND OF EXPLOSIVE.

MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER BEFORE.

THEY ARE AIMED AT PARIS, LONDON,

MOSCOW AND WASHINGTON.

I HAVE RETURNED TO ACTIVATE THEM.

THE ACTION IS IRREVERSIBLE.

AT EXACTLY 1800 HOURS TONIGHT,

ALL YOUR MAJOR CAPITAL CITIES WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED.

HEIL HITLER.

[ Speaking German ]

NOW YOU KNOW THE SECRETS OF OUR REICHSDEUTSCHE UNTERWASSER LABORATORIUM NUMMER EINS.

ALL RIGHT, SO YOU'VE TAKEN US PRISONER, BARON.

NOW, HOW WILL YOU DATE THAT ENTRY IN YOUR LOG?

APRIL 1, 1945.

APRIL 1, 1945?

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN SOMETIMES LOSE A DAY OR TWO,

BUT 35 YEARS?

ADMIRAL, I DON'T THINK YOUR CHIEF PETTY OFFICER...

REALIZES THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION.

I WILL HAVE NO MORE OF HIS STUPID JOKES.

WELL, HE'S NOT JOKING, BARON. THIS HAPPENS TO BE OCTOBER 3,

THE YEAR IS 1980, AND THE WAR YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT...

FINISHED 35 YEARS AGO.

[ Chuckling ] YOU INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE, ADMIRAL.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT I,

ADMIRAL VON NEUBERG, AM NOW 85 YEARS OLD?

- ARE YOU? - DO I LOOK IT?

I ASKED, ARE YOU?

YOU ARE EITHER A FOOL OR A MADMAN.

WE ARE STILL FIGHTING THE WAR. IT IS STILL THE YEAR 1945.

AND BEFORE THE NIGHT IS THROUGH,

THE THIRD REICH WILL INDEED RULE THE WORLD.

HALT!

TRY THAT DOOR! WHERE DID HE GET YOU, SKIPPER?

AH, HE JUST NICKED MY SIDE. I'M ALL RIGHT.

YOU WILL BE AFTER WE GET YOU TO SICK BAY. ALL RIGHT.

INFORM MR. MORTON. I WILL, SIR, BUT FIRST LET ME GET YOU TO SICK--

I TELL YOU, I'M ALL RIGHT. NOW, TELL MR. MORTON. ALL RIGHT, SIR.

GENERAL QUARTERS. GENERAL QUARTERS.

I WANT MANEUVERING CONTROLS, CORRIDOR "D," ON FULL RED ALERT SECURITY.

[ Klaxon Blaring ] DAMAGE CONTROL.

RIG FOR POSSIBLE EXPLOSION IN HULL SECTIONS 38 AND 39.

SECURE ALL WATERTIGHT HATCHES AND PASSAGEWAYS IN THAT SAME AREA.

[ Man ] AYE, SIR. WHERE'S THE SKIPPER NOW?

I LEFT HIM IN THE CORRIDOR, SIR, BUT I HOPE HE'S MADE HIS WAY TO THE SICK BAY.

GO DOWN THERE WITH HIM AND MAKE SURE HE GOES.

TELL HIM FROM ME THAT AS ACTING COMMANDER OF THIS VESSEL, THAT'S AN ORDER.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ On Speaker ] THIS IS OBERLEUTNANT FROELICH.

[ Continues In German ]

I AM ADDRESSING MYSELF TO THE COMMANDING OFFICER OF THIS VESSEL.

WILL YOU PLEASE GET ON THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TO SPEAK TO ME?

- THIS IS COMMANDER MORTON. - AH.

YOU ARE THE COMMANDING OFFICER?

I'M SENIOR IN COMMAND AT THIS MOMENT, YES. WHAT DO YOU WANT, FROELICH?

A VERY SIMPLE THING, COMMANDER.

UNLESS I RECEIVE UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER...

OF THIS VESSEL AND ALL ABOARD HER,

I SHALL BLOW THIS SUBMARINE APART.

YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES TO GIVE ME YOUR WORD.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, OR DEATH.

THOSE CYLINDERS CONTAIN A SPECIAL KIND OF NERVE GAS WE'VE DEVELOPED,

KILLING EVERYTHING WITHIN A HUNDRED-MILE RADIUS.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE LAUNCHED TOGETHER WITH THE EXPLOSIVES.

UH, DO I HAVE TO LUG THESE THINGS LIKE HE SAYS, SIR?

I MEAN, THE WAY I SEE IT, THERE ARE TWO OF US AND ONE OF HIM.

AND IF WE WORK IT RIGHT, WE-- I WOULDN'T ADVISE ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE.

HE'S RIGHT, CHIEF. THE, UH-- THE GUN GIVES THE ODDS TO HIM.

WELL, ODDS OR NOT, I'D STILL LIKE TO TAKE A CRACK AT IT.

I WANT THOSE CYLINDERS TO BE PLACED IN THE MISSILES BEFORE THEY FIRE.

- YOU WILL DO AS I TELL YOU. - YOU'D BETTER DO AS HE SAYS, CHIEF.

AN INFIELD HIT CAN, UH, CAN GET A RUN ACROSS,

BUT A STRIKEOUT DOESN'T HELP ANYBODY.

I-- I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT, SIR. ADMIRAL?

THAT'S A RATHER CURIOUS COMMENT.

INFIELD HITS? STRIKEOUT?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WELL, THAT'S JUST, UH, AN AMERICAN COLLOQUIALISM,

LIKE, "A STITCH IN TIME."

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

NOW, LOOK. WE'RE NOT OUT OF HERE YET.

WE GOTTA DISARM THOSE MISSILES.

THEY SURE BUILT THEMSELVES A PRETTY GOOD HUNK...

OF INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILE.

YEAH, WE-- WE KNEW THEY WERE WORKING ON THEM,

BUT DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD GOTTEN THIS FAR.

WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT PULLING THEIR TEETH. AYE, SIR.

[ Electrical Crackling ]

YOU SHOULD BE IN SICK BAY, LEE. NOT WITH THE SEAVIEW ABOUT TO BE DESTROYED.

YOU GONNA BLOW THE DOOR AND RUSH HIM?

IT'S EITHER THAT OR UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

WHAT ABOUT THE GAS THROUGH THE VENTILATING DUCTS?

REVITALIZATION MONITORS SHOWS HE'S CLOSED OFF THE DUCTS. HE BEAT US TO IT ON THAT COUNT.

[ On Speaker ] THIS IS OBERLEUTNANT FROELICH.

YOU HAVE ONLY 50 SECONDS REMAINING TO MAKE YOUR DECISION.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE?

WELL, GO AHEAD WITH IT. PREPARE TO IGNITE.

FROELICH, THIS IS COMMANDER MORTON.

WE'LL WAIT OUR FULL TIME BEFORE GIVING YOU A VERBAL DECISION.

IGNITE.

ALL RIGHT, GET READY.

YOUR TIME IS UP! I AM MAKING THE DECISION FOR YOU.

GO!

I TOLD YOU, AT EXACTLY 1800 HOURS,

THE THIRD REICH WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

THE HOUR OF OUR GLORY HAS ARRIVED.

THE MISSILES ARE READY FOR FIRING.

[ German ] SIEG HEIL!

THE MISSILES!

[ Explosion ]

THE MISSILES!

IT'S TOO LATE. YOUR MISSILES DIDN'T GO. THEY BACKFIRED.

- THE MISSILES DIDN'T FIRE. - NO, AND THIS INSTALLATION IS FILLING WITH WATER.

NOW, WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT.

GET OUT? WHY?

IT'S ALL OVER.

THE WAR IS LOST.

THE WAR WAS LOST 35 YEARS AGO.

NOW SAVE YOUR LIFE, MAN! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

GET OUT OF HERE? WHY?

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME HERE.

THE LAST HOPE FOR THE THIRD REICH HAS GONE UP IN SMOKE.

THERE'S A NEW LIFE, A NEW WORLD WAITING OUTSIDE.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE SEAVIEW AND FORGET ALL THIS.

SEAVIEW?

GET BACK TO THE SEAVIEW?

[ German ]

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THERE IS STILL HOPE.

THERE'S STILL ANOTHER WORLD OUTSIDE.

[ Explosion ]

THERE'S-- THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANYTHING LEFT...

IF YOU DON'T START MOVING.

- UNTIE THESE ROPES. LET'S TRY TO GET BACK TO SEAVIEW. - YES, YES, OF COURSE.

WE SHALL YET ESCAPE. THE SEAVIEW SHALL SAVE US ALL. COME.

FULL RISE ON ALL PLANES! BLOW ALL BALLAST TANKS!

DAMAGE CONTROL PARTIES, LAY DOWN TO CORRIDOR "D" ON THE DOUBLE!

[ Explosion ]

GET IN THERE AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE MEN.

IF FROELICH'S STILL ALIVE, GET HIM!

ARE THE MEN ALL RIGHT? YEAH.

THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION WAS DIRECTED AFT TOWARD THE DIVING CONTROLS.

WHAT ABOUT FROELICH? NO SIGN OF HIM IN THERE.

TAKE 'EM TO SICK BAY. YOU ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI?

I'M ALL RIGHT, SKIPPER. IT'S THAT NAZI WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? YES, SIR.

JUST AS WE WERE GOING IN, HE WAS GOING OUT THE AIR VENT DUCT.

THE DUCTS IN THERE LEAD TO THE MISSILE ROOM AREA...

AND THEN BACK TO THE AIR REVITALIZATION SYSTEM.

CONTINUE THE SEARCH. I'M GONNA CHECK ON THE ADMIRAL.

AYE, SIR. THIS IS THE EXEC.

CONTINUE ALL SEARCH PARTIES. STRESS MISSILE ROOM AND AIR REVITALIZATION AREAS.

THE MAN WE'RE AFTER IS ARMED AND DANGEROUS. TAKE HIM!

KILL HIM IF NECESSARY. COME ON, KOWALSKI.

WE'RE GONNA TRY THE MISSILE ROOM. AYE, SIR.

I HAVE TO ADMIT IT, SIR, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME AGAIN.

I'D-- I'D AGREE WITH YOU, CHIEF,

EXCEPT I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS PARTICULAR WELCOMING COMMITTEE.

WHAT? [ German ]

YOU SEE, ADMIRAL, IT SEEMS ALL IS NOT YET LOST FOR US.

WELL, IT'S A TEMPORARY ADVANTAGE.

THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. HOW IS OUR SITUATION, FROELICH?

I HAVE DAMAGED THEIR MANEUVERABILITY.

THEIR MISSILE SYSTEM IS OURS TO COMMAND. [ Chuckles ]

WELL, ADMIRAL, YOU MUST ADMIT THAT SOME ADVANTAGES SEEM TO BE ON OUR SIDE,

INCLUDING THE CYLINDER OF NERVE GAS YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO BRING BACK FOR ANALYSIS.

WELL, IT'S HARDLY ENOUGH TO SUIT YOUR PURPOSES.

I HAVE ONLY ONE GOAL:

TO DESTROY ALL ALLIED CITIES.

I CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS HERE AND NOW. TAKE YOUR DIVING SUITS OFF!

THERE'S WORK TO DO. COME ON!

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

ALL GREAT CONCEPTS ARE BASICALLY SIMPLE.

I WILL USE THE SEAVIEW MISSILES TO BLOW UP YOUR CITIES.

PATTERSON, WHAT'S THE LATEST DAMAGE CONTROL REPORT?

WE'RE MANEUVERABLE HERE, SIR, BUT BARELY.

BE ABOUT 30 MORE MINUTES BEFORE WE'RE FULLY REPAIRED.

SEAVIEW TO ADMIRAL NELSON.

SEAVIEW TO NELSON.

DO YOU READ ME? OVER.

SEAVIEW TO NELSON.

IF YOU HEAR US, PLEASE COME IN.

PATTERSON. YES, SIR?

LAY DOWN TO THE MISSILE ROOM ON THE DOUBLE.

I WANT DIVING GEAR FOR FIVE MEN. I'M GOING DOWN AFTER HIM.

AYE, SIR. [ On Speaker ] EXEC TO CONTROL ROOM.

THERE'S AN EMERGENCY IN THE MISSILE ROOM. COME IN, PLEASE.

PATTERSON. WHAT'S UP, CHIP?

THE MISSILE ROOM HATCHWAY IS JAMMED SHUT.

LOOKS LIKE FROELICH GOT IN THERE THROUGH THE AIR VENT.

[ Crane On Speaker ] ANY COMMUNICATION WITH HIM? NO, SIR.

KEEP TRYING TO GET THROUGH. I'LL GET SOME CUTTING TOOLS DOWN TO YOU.

AYE, AYE. PATTERSON.

GET EXPLOSIVES, DETONATORS AND CUTTING TORCHES DOWN TO THE MISSILE ROOM ON THE DOUBLE.

AYE, SIR.

MISSILE ROOM, THIS IS CAPTAIN CRANE.

ARE YOU DOWN THERE, FROELICH?

[ Continues On Speaker ] DO YOU HEAR ME, FROELICH? I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.

IF YOU HEAR ME, JUST GO OVER TO A MICROPHONE AND ACKNOWLEDGE.

FROELICH, THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. ACKNOWLEDGE.

THE POOR CAPTAIN SEEMS SOMEWHAT DISTURBED.

TOO BAD HE DOESN'T REALIZE JUST HOW DISTURBED HE SHOULD BE.

LOOK, YOU CAN'T RELEASE THAT NERVE GAS IN THERE. YOU'LL KILL EVERYONE ABOARD.

MMM. THE POSSIBILITY HAS OCCURRED TO ME.

YOU SEE, WITH YOUR MEN ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THEIR WAY IN,

I MUST RENDER THEM HARMLESS IN ORDER TO HAVE TIME TO AIM AND ACTIVATE THE MISSILES.

FROELICH, GO AHEAD.

WILL YOU WAIT!

- YES, ADMIRAL? - YOU'RE GONNA KILL US TOO.

THE GAS WILL RECIRCULATE AND COME BACK IN HERE.

NOW, WE'VE GOT TO SHUT OFF THESE VENTS...

IF THERE'S ANY CHANCE OF US STAYING ALIVE...

WHEN THE, UH--

[ Coughing ]

[ Both Coughing ]

THE-- THE MISSILES!

MUST FIRE THE MISSILES! GO!

I MUST-- I MUST FIRE THE MISSILES!

AH!

HEIL HITLER!

[ Missile Firing ]

THE SKIPPER SENT UP THIS MX-12 EXPLOSIVE FOR YOU, SIR.

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN WITH IT. WE WILL.

LET'S HAVE A HAND WITH THIS.

[ Coughing ]

[ Coughing Continues ]

CONTROL ROOM.

NUMBER-- NUMBER FOUR MISSILE FIRED WILD.

TARGET UNKNOWN.

LAUNCH TRACKING INTERCEPTORS.

REPEAT:

LAUNCH TRACKING INTERCEPTORS.

INTERCEPTS ON THEIR WAY.

[ Crane On Speaker ] ADMIRAL? DO YOU READ ME?

ADMIRAL?

ALL READY TO FIRE, MR. MORTON. ALL RIGHT, STAND BACK.

READY TO FIRE. LET HER GO.

HE'S ALIVE. GET HIM TO SICK BAY ON THE DOUBLE!

AND THE CHIEF TOO! MOVE 'EM OUT! COME ON!

THE INTERCEPTS ARE MOVING IN. SHOULD MAKE CONTACT ANY SECOND.

[ Sighs ] CONTACT.

[ Moaning ]

I JUST RECEIVED WORD FROM MEDICAL RESEARCH IN WASHINGTON, ADMIRAL.

THEY ANALYZED THE BEAKERS OF GAS IN VON NEUBERG'S LAB.

MM-HMM.

"UNSTABLE PENTOLITHIC ACID BASE CAN RENDER HUMANS UNCONSCIOUS. FRESH AIR WILL REVIVE.

"IN CERTAIN QUANTITIES AND STRENGTHS,

POSSIBLY CAPABLE OF INDUCING A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION."

OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S WHAT MUST'VE HAPPENED TO VON NEUBERG AND FROELICH.

FOR 35 YEARS, THEY REMAINED IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION...

WHICH WAS INTERRUPTED BY MY ARRIVAL.

WELL, IT MUST'VE BEEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I-- I WONDER--

WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF VON NEUBERG AND FROELICH...

WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO INHALED THAT GAS.

OR MAYBE THERE WERE SOME OTHERS, UH--

WAITING FOR A FUTURE TIME TO STRIKE AT THE WORLD AGAIN?

YEAH, POSSIBLY.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE STOPPED FIGHTING WORLD WAR II.

NOW, SET A COURSE FOR SANTA BARBARA. AYE, SIR.
